Rachel's Five Recommendations
Rusty's Pizza - Multiple S.B. Locations
I love the Rusty's 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.
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.
