Panadería La Paloma - Santa Paula

Pan dulce was not what we expected. Went on a Friday evening. Asked if they baked their bread their own bread kind lady responded "Yes "If true, they were probably baked a week ago.

An adorable cafe with many nature elements on display (including an interior 'sun room ' brimming with plants). The owner (I presume) visited our table to tell us about the drinks we ordered, sharing how the rose lemonade is made from scratch on site. The server was equally polite and friendly, sharing how my tiramisu latte should be enjoyed (the creamy top eaten with a spoon halfway, then stirred). I appreciated their interest in making sure we enjoyed everything we purchased to the fullest.

We stayed Thanksgiving night and really just needed a bed to lay our head, so we were pleasantly surprised with the room, grounds, and hotel in general. We booked the smallest room, but it was pleasant and clean. Came equipped with a fridge, microwave, tv, and all the other basics. The only thing it lacked was a coffee maker on the room. The bed was firm (which I like). The hotel and grounds are very well-kept, and the courtyard is very nice, with beautiful roses to enjoy. Parking is in a secure area. It’s right around the corner from great restaurants. The owner was extremely attentive to our needs as well. If you stay here, you will be happy. Enjoy!

We ordered a cake and it was good in that it wasn't too sweet but the bread was hard.

I needed to find accommodations in Santa Paula at the last minute yesterday. After seeing that the inn was already fully booked online, I decided to call the inn directly. I spoke with Atul, the manager, who found a room that met my needs. I was very impressed with Atul's extraordinary service at check-in and check-out, plus he found a precious piece of jewelry that I accidentally dropped and reported missing. I would definitely stay there again!
