We had the good fortune of connecting with Montecito Baking Co and we’ve shared our conversation below.

Hi Montecito, what do you think makes you most happy? Why?
Food. Cooking. Loving. Being able to create something with our hands and senses. To communicate with and through food gives us joy! To live doing what we love with our loved ones is a blessing we don’t take for granted.

Alright, so for those in our community who might not be familiar with your business, can you tell us more?
We had always dreamed about having our own bake shop, to create a space where people connect with themselves and others. Somewhere where you remember to breathe and to enjoy the little things. We believe in the beauty of routine, rituals and traditions, and we honor them in our craft of pastry making and our love language of acts of service. And that is our mission above all things: To give love through food and to nurture the bonds and stories that are born with it.

The journey has been life-changing. Learning the ropes on our own continues to be a challenge and our days sometimes feel endless. But when we look back at everything we have accomplished, the personal and professional growth and the welcoming embrace of the people we have crossed paths with, we are left only with infinite gratitude and the reaffirmation of our hearts’ desires.

Let’s say your best friend was visiting the area and you wanted to show them the best time ever. Where would you take them? Give us a little itinerary – say it was a week long trip, where would you eat, drink, visit, hang out, etc.
Wild Detectives – We love the space they have created: their concept, menu and events hosted. It’s also located in one of our favorite neighborhoods. Never a dull moment!

Odd Muse – We love us a cold one! One of our go-to places after work.

Lemma Coffee Roasters – Nothing we can say to truly express how wonderful their coffee is. They know what they are doing without a doubt.

Uchi – Can’t get enough of their cocktails and tapas. Always fresh and delicious.
