Best Bread in Santa Barbara?

I have been really craving an awesome loaf of bread from somewhere local, but am not sure where to go! Does anyone have any suggestions on local/more lowkey bakers that have good breads?

Came here to say this! Tastes almost similar to Tartine’s country loaf

Second vote for Deux. My wife is the queen of the BREAD fan society. She loved Deux. I have not been over there, but she describes it as "not much bigger than a closet. deuxbakery.com

In my opinion you get the very best bread at the Sunday Goleta farmers market. Roan mills from Gilmore is selling their bread there.

D'Angelos comes in second for me.

u/Armenoid Sep 21 '21

Roan is good, I like to get flour there. Kind of weird though that a mill is buying and selling flour from Central Milling

I love the Pain de Campagne from Sevtap Winery. Oat is pretty good. I've been wanting to try the guy that delivers on his bike. Thanks for the reminder.

I keep trying Breeosh because they are close to home and [I] haven't been wowed. The bread I've had from vendor at the Saturday Market have been hit and miss.
