Bread & Cie

Excellent Baked Bread and pastries! I wish I could grab bread off their racks daily! Parking is non-existent so go with a friend or pray to the parking gods for mercy. I want to order everything when I am there but I usually walk with an Olive loaf and sweet pastry when I go. So far MY baked best in San Diego.

Husband, daughter (baby 2 months) and I, came to this place on Columbus Day. We had no idea that they would be closing early due to holiday (Columbus Day). They were close and all register shut down. However, manager and cashier immediately attended us besides the fact, and offer loaf of bread on the house. We ended up just taking 2 slices of cheese Danish, and my goodness they were Amazing!!! Not too sweet and now too soft, just perfect! but what impress us the most, was the customer service. Arriving when they were technically closed, and still listening to us, attending us, and offering to help, and even giving us free bread without charging us is beyond impressing and amazing and kind, especially in these difficult times we live in. I will definitely be coming back to get their famous chocolate croissant and for their amazing customer service. 100% recommend!!!!

Bread and Cie was such a great lunch spot. It’s a little French bakery with a very deli-like experience. The service was great and they got the food out to us quickly despite the higher volume. The sandwiches were so good and the bread itself was clearly made fresh that same day. This is a great little sandwich spot!

Received many recommendations to try this bakery. Indeed atmosphere and service are excellent - came around opening time on a week day to avoid the crowds. i’ve been on a hunt for a good quiche like the ones i can find in bakeries in France. Something about the flakiness of a crust and the variety of ingredient choice is hard to find in the states. indeed 4 stars because while the atmosphere and service were great, the food didn’t meet the hype. i will still be on lookout for a quiche like the ones in Europe.

Bread & Cie is my favorite place to go to in Hillcrest. The owner is very sweet and the food is amazing. I occasionally go there to do some work and treat myself to either an almond croissant or their mushroom panini and it makes me feel so happy each time. I honestly believe you could get anything off their menu and it'd be good.

I do not like sourdough. For those that do, you have plenty of options here. For the rest of us on the west coast that haven’t quite adapted to hoppy bread, this place is great. The croissants are made so well that you can frame them. But that’s not all. There is fennel in the seed mix of the seeded breads. The right dose of fennel in seed mix is so decadent that it is bijoux bread at its best.
