Santa Barbara Hives

"A must stop during your trip/time in Carp! The pastries, sourdough & coffee are all delish :) Be sure to get their homemade cashew milk in your latte - it's so creamy! Barnaby is fabulous. We are so excited to have SB Hives in town."

"What a gem! Hands down the best pastries and treats in town. Hand-crafted, unique, and rotating daily. I had the best sourdough cinnamon rolls here once, and the sourdough bread is delicious. There’s always something new to try. Also, best cup of coffee in Carp."

"Best sourdough ever. Texture flavor crust are sublime. The charcoal sourdough tops ALL!! Santa Barbara Hives is a must visit. It’s an absolute gem. Easy visit while walking the Carp trail."

"Oh, this sweet jewel of a place. I look forward to my monthly trips to Carp so I can load up on my favorites - coffee, local honey and baked goods. They have a wonderful gift selection that is high quality and often local. It’s tucked away in a corner off of Palm, just outside of the state park gates and a short walk from town. I’m eating one of their fresh baked muffins and enjoying the drip coffee today - can’t put anything in coffee this good."

"OMG, I just stumbled upon the CUTEST store here in Carpinteria! This place is all about the bees! Everything from delicious honey, amazing smelling beeswax candles, soaps, and so much more! Lots of really cool local artisan made gifts as well. The folks who run the place couldn’t be any nicer!! Super welcoming and KNOWLEDGEABLE about the benefits of bees!"
