Renaud's Patisserie & Bistro

Renaud's Pastisserie would get 5 stars and more if it wasn't for their outrageous prices. Baked goods are fantastic but prices are just crazy! chocolate croissant $6 - croissant $5 - almond croissant $7 and I don't even want to start about their cakes. May it be as delicious as it is, but that is it for me.

How can it get any better? The perfect cappuccino and a beautifully flakey croissant. A delightful patio space with interesting people sketching, laughing, and having a merry day.

Got here just as they were closing. The gentleman was polite but I used the touchscreen to order so that he could prepare for closing. My order was simple and he seemed grateful. But I missed the wall of cookies and take aways.

Macarons: ok. I've had better but it comes in nice boxes.

Croissants: I'm looking for the best croissant in California. This one is a close one for 1st or second place. It comes down to preference. It has the correct texture and taste. It falls slightly in buttery taste (like a smidge 3 percent). If you like fluffier texture, you'll prefer the slightly more dense/layered croissants from Bree'osh. Both good and I would have both any day.

The Bomb: too mousse for me. I prefer more texture. The crunchy hazelnut on the outside added crunch factor but it was stale. It

The most consistent and delicious place for breakfast in SB! The coffee and the breakfast is so fresh & delightful. It keeps me coming back.

So yummy. I had to still my daily almond croissant bc it was sticking to my hips. Folks are nice and great rewards program. Outside seating is great too.

Stopped here for a quick bite before we continued on the way to cemetery
The breakfast croissant for me, and fried breakfast sandwich, for my husband, were good. First time here. We've been to Harry's next door and thought we were going to eat there but found out Harry's didn't open until 11am. We were an hour too early. But decided to go into Renaud's. We will be back.

One of the few pastry shops open until 4:00pm in SB.

We arrived at 3:15pm and were told that the kitchen was closed and that we could only order pastries and they could not be warmed up.

There is a kiosk screen on the counter when you first walk in that you can place your order. While I was using the kiosk, the man at the cashier was taking new orders in line.

I ordered a 16oz hot chai latte, a cinnamon hazelnut roll and an almond croissant.

The chai latte was perfection. I love that there was a lot of cinnamon topped off. The hazelnut cinnamon roll was so flakey and buttery. The cinnamon flavor was not overbearing but just right. The almond croissant was flakey with light almond, slight sweetness and buttery flavor.

Great pastries from what you would expect from a specialty bakery. Highly recommend.

They have indoor seating but you know the drill; when in SB you must enjoy the beautiful weather and fresh air. So we sat on the patio seating.

French breakfast, yes pls! So delicious! Perfect cappuccinos, almond croissant and ooh la la the quiche Lorraine AMAZING! Staff was friendly! Merry Christmas‍

Renau's is so delightful; the employees are very friendly and knowledgeable and the establishment is clean and welcoming. The food is delicious and the desserts are delectable. I highly recommend visiting!

NO signage -
Came to this location today due to the 60cent non dairy charge vs 90 cent at their other locations. Even without the Axxess discount this is better especially when ordering a number of latte like drinks.

However NO Signage. no updates on their website. 1. They raised their prices to 90 cents per non dairy drink. 2. Yet they did not add Axxess back into the system at this location

No signage. Too high of non dairy milk upcharge. No notification of the 50% upcharge. Says they accept Axxess but they do not at Loreto plaza. Be transparent

Good pastries. Great deserts. No vegan options.
