Doughnuts Are Baked Fresh Daily at Stevenson Ranch Bakery

Tucked into a nondescript shopping center, Stevenson Ranch Bakery may just be the best doughnut shop in the Santa Clarita Valley, regulars say. This is the kind of family-owned place where the owners have worked behind the counter for years and take the time to learn the names of returning customers. It’s also the kind of place that donates its time and money to local charities and community groups.

Perhaps more importantly, Stevenson Ranch Bakery is the kind of spot where doughnuts are made in traditional varieties — glazed, iced, cinnamon sugar — and cost just $5 a dozen if you check in on Yelp. The bakery also serves savory breakfast sandwiches, including popular ham and cheese topped croissants and sausage, egg, and cheese breakfast bagels. Add a smoothie and you're good to go.

On Saturdays, be sure to try out one of the bakery's croissant-doughnut hybrids for a change of pace!

Tri Tipps in Valencia: Order the Santa Clarita Sandwich

Tri Tipps is an unassuming, fast-casual Valencia restaurant specializing in slow roasted, choice cuts of tri-tip beef. This isn't barbecue; it's grill fare! The best selling menu item is probably the Santa Clarita sandwich, which has an enthusiastic following among regular customers thanks to its thick piles of tri-tip served with bacon, Monterey jack, and chipotle ranch.

If you've got a large group to feed, try one of the family combos, which includes up to two pounds of meat and four large side dishes. Best of all, eating at Tri Tipps won't break the bank, as even the family meals don't cost any more than a pizza delivery.

Bricks on Lyons: Have a Hip, Handheld Lunch

Bricks on Lyons is a restaurant that centers around all things handheld, from burgers to sandwiches and even unique types of tacos. This popular, casual eatery is located in a discreetly marked brick building in Santa Clarita, and although it’s a bit difficult to find it is very welcoming once you’re inside. The patio area features wooden picnic tables covered in umbrellas and shielded by tall, grassy plants, creating an equally relaxing outdoor space.

The menu mainly consists of different types of gourmet burgers and sandwiches, but it also offers a wide variety of rich, creamy milkshakes served in mason jars to go along with the restaurant’s laid-back vibe. Even the sauces at Bricks are more flavorful than most, and after one taste of the garlic aioli, you’ll likely understand what makes Bricks a local favorite.

Bricks on Lyons is open 11 a.m. to 9:30 p.m. Mondays through Thursdays and 11 a.m. to 10 p.m. Fridays through Sundays.
