Community: Rachel's Five Tried, Tested + True Santa Barbara Favorites

Rachel's Recommendations

Rusty's Pizza - Multiple S.B. Locations

I love the Rustys Special with jalapeños, for a slice of heaven topped with childhood nostalgia delivered right to your doorstep

D'Angelos Bakery -  25 W. Gutierrez St. (Downtown)

For a post yoga soup brunch with friends. I love the eggs rose with a side of bacon.

Vices and Spices - 3558 State St. (Upper State)

I appreciate the authentic old school vibes of this place, the selection of loose teas and my favorite coffee, the jamacian blue. There is also a mini boutique full of beautiful products and local handmade gifts.

Clic Boutique - 1014 Coast Village Rd (Montecito)

Clic is my favorite boutique in Montecito. We need to take a moment for the colorfully curated interior, the selection of framed art and photography and the home goods, of which I want one or two of everything.

Skin Prophecy - 1230 Coast Village Rd (Montecito)

A facial with Dee Dee will change your life. She's been the go-to facialist for many of Montecito residents and the most wonderful and gentle soul.

"Growing up in Santa Barbara is an experience that goes beyond the city's scenic beauty and lifestyle; it's a heartfelt feeling and a deep connection that becomes a part of who you are."
