We're going to give you three good reasons to visit the newest bakery in Santa Barbara's Funk Zone. First, you can lay a base for local wine tasting by eating breakfast here. Second, you can eat lunch while wine tasting without having to leave the building. And third, it's also a great place to grab picnic supplies and walk over to the beach that's less than two blocks away. If that doesn't motivate you to check out this haven of baked good, we don't know what will. Helena Avenue Bakery is part of the same restaurant group as The Lark and Loquita and serves top notch pastries, breads, sandwiches and salads seven days a week. It shares space with the Santa Barbara Wine Collective, where you can taste wine or buy a bottle, so you'll never walk away parched!
