    Strawberry strudel
    Ann H.

    I stopped in because I was using the laundromat across the parking lot and wanted to kill time. I got 2 strudels (strawberry and cream cheese) and found them both to be delicious. At close to $4 a strudel however, I do think they could have offered to heat them up or something. The shop is small with some seats though I just got my item to go. I probably wouldn't mind stopping by again when I'm in the area but probably won't drive out of my way to come back.

    Depending on your taste buds, may or may not be your preference. For the price, I would personally buy pastries elsewhere. Coffee is good The consistency was better a couple of years ago, I believe the ownership changed. Would just recommend for coffee, or somewhere to sit and sip when doing laundry next door. Smoothies are decent.

    Bear Buns Bakery has become my go-to spot in the mornings. I'm absolutely hooked on their Ube Cold Foam Matcha, which has the perfect balance of flavor, and I find myself ordering it almost every day. The cafe is never too busy, which makes it a great place to relax or get a bit of work done. There's plenty of seating both inside and outside, and the overall vibe is calm and cozy. Their pastries are always fresh and flavorful. I've tried the cinnamon roll, which is soft and delicious, and the almond croissant has the most amazing filling. It's easily one of my favorites. The breakfast sandwiches are also really good. While I agree with some reviews that the bread could use a touch more salt, I actually enjoy it as is. You can tell it's baked fresh and made with quality ingredients.

    Got the Benny sandwich on focaccia. Definitely could use some more salt in the bread and the hollandaise. Also got the sticky bun. It did not disappoint. I swear they put like $300 worth of pecans on the top. No shortchanging you there. I ordered an iced decaf dirty chai latte. They forgot and made it full caf. They offered to remake it but I don't want to be wasteful. Staff are super awesome. Very friendly. They have indoor and outdoor seating The outdoor seating has been updated since the last time I was there . I think there might have been a recent ownership change, but I'm not 100% on that Would definitely go back I went at 10:30 on a Sunday and there was no line and they still had cinnamon buns and sticky buns left. That is not typical.

    Cinnamon Roll

    YES YES YES. Salivating. They say this is one of the top cinnamon rolls in San Diego and I'd agree. It's not obnoxiously sweet like the SD County Fair ones... it's warm and moist and perfectly flavored. Worth the drive. YUMMM

    Cinnamon roll

    If chewy cinnamon rolls with a slight exterior crunch is what you are looking for, this may be the roll for you. Their cinnamon rolls are made without nuts and the glaze is thin which I prefer. The staff is friendly, the space is super clean with indoor and outdoor seating. @sturdygirlstyle #sturdygirlstyle

    Ube croissant
    Michaela I.

    Very cute little bakery with limited seating and parking is very limited. Everyone working is very kind and sweet, seems family owned and operated. I got the ube croissant and the cinnamon roll. Ube croissant wasn't sweet enough for my taste, however, my brother really enjoyed it. Their cinnamon roll however, was very bread-y and the frosting was very lackluster. I saw mixed reviews about the cinnamon roll despite Yelp listing this place as being known for them, so I thought I'd give them a try. Stick to Cinnabon if you want cinnamon rolls. I would like to come again to try the coffee and other more specialty pastries.

    It's been awhile since the last time I was here. I think it's new ownership. I came here for Ube coconut croissant that my sister bought a few weeks ago and I couldn't forget about it. It has good amount of ube filling with some coconut. The croissant is huge, buttery and soft. 5 stars Almond croissant is also really good. Service is great, they are nice & friendly. I will return to get the samw thing. Highly recommend! Not much customer when we arrive coz it's almost noon.

    Turkey and Pepperjack Croissant
    Leslie B.

    I have been to Bear Buns only once before, and that time I only stopped in to pick up some holiday cookies. Recently, I had an appointment nearby and had a little extra time to kill before returning to work. I hadn't yet had my coffee or anything to eat, so Bear Buns sounded good. Anyway, I walked in to find that it seemed to be quite the morning hangout for locals. At 8:15AM on a Thursday, there were several tables filled with groups of people chatting, but still plenty of space. I initially had been thinking to forgo breakfast and just enjoy a pumpkin latte, but then I saw a large variety of breakfast sandwiches. Anyway, I chose the turkey and pepperjack croissant to accompany my latte. Unfortunately, they had run out of skim milk, so I had to have the latte with almond milk. The latte was good and not overly sweet, which was a fear of mine, especially given the milk choices. They warmed the sandwich for me and brought it out. It was very simple, but not greasy. The coffee shop was a bit loud, but I think it was mainly due to the boisterous personalities in the groups around me. Otherwise, it was a comfortable place to sit and sip my coffee in the morning. It'a actually a pretty cute place too. If I am in the area again, I will definitely stop by.

    Ube croissant, Bella breakfast sandwhich and a caramel macchiato

    Stopped by this place before work, was able to find easy parking. The staff was really friendly and food came promptly. The cafe looks cozy and clean, very welcoming. I recommend for a coffee run but also as a cafe to work/study in.

    B-Healthy Breakfast Sandwich (vegan)
    HK H.

    Clean and bright space. The folks here were struggling to keep the order straight and on time, in spite of it not being very busy. I can't tell if it's the norm or a staff training issue. In any event, they didn't ring in a sticky bun, in spite of us repeating this multiple times. Perhaps that was a subtle warning. It was really dry and without sufficient spice. For a place with "buns" in the name, I had expectations. The vegan breakfast sandwich isn't particularly delicious. Perhaps it was the rush of getting orders straight and out the kitchen after much delay, but the vegan sausage wasn't cooked right. It was well crispy on the outside, but the inside had he consistency pâté. No, thank you.

    Han L.

    I'm not a huge breakfast sandwich guy but thought to try it. got the bella. the tomato was pasty, the egg is fluffy, bread ok , a little dry. better than a lot of places.

Based on other comments and the AI summaries I saw on Yelp and Google, it was recommended that I order ahead which is exactly what I did and it was a fairly easy and a quick system. It looks like their weekly menu keeps changing which is a both a good thing and a bad thing because you get to try new things but may not always get to eat your favorites again. I pre-ordered on a Thursday for a pick up on Friday and they were already out of their seasonal Black Forest Bun which sounded delicious. After scrolling through the menu multiple times, I decided to get the Pistachio Strawberry croissant and the Kouign Amann. When I arrived at the store, I immediately noticed the pre-order pick up window and was so glad that I wasn't standing in what seems to be on atleast a 25-30 line which I though was crazy for a weekday morning. The staff that gave my order was so friendly and it was so quick. What's great is they hold your order for atleast 24 hours in case you're unable to pick it up. There is some seating in the patio but honestly it's not meant for sitting and enjoying the pastries because there aren't really any tables but only seating. So it's best to pick up and take it home or eat by the beach which is what I did. The place is cute with a lot of plants and good vibes though. Since they don't warm up the croissants , I was worried that it wouldn't taste good while eating it at the beach but I was absolutely wrong. The Kouign Amann was okay, I'd give it a 4/5. The Pistachio Strawberry croissant however, was so absolutely delicious I'd give it a 5/5 even though it wasn't warmed up, it had the perfect amount of sweetness. It's easily one of the best croissants I've ever had. Overall this place has absolutely delicious pastries, but I'm not sure if I'd stand in a 30 mins line, maybe 10-15 mins, so good for them to have the pre order system.

Turns out it was just as whimsical and quaint as the name of the bakery would make it seem, from the pet freindly atmosphere to the passion fruits hanging from the overhead trestle! As a tip, order ahead for pickup! Wayfarer opens its doors at 8 am, with online pickups avaliable as early as 9 - 9:15am. We walked right up, passed the already growing line, and enjoyed our breakfast. Truly the only way to skip waiting in line; going early won't cut it! We got three different croissants, as well as a baguette. Can't go wrong with the original, but the standout (to me) was the almond, with a crunchy top and stuffed with almond filling (think marzipan!). Perfectly balanced, and the almond, nor the sweetness, was not too overpowering. The Kouign-Amann had a crunchy, sugary shell. Almost like a creme brulee topping on a croissant. Sticky, but so delicious. Also shoutout to the baguette! One of the best I've had. Next time I'll have to bring some fruit, cheese, and honey. Wayfarer's vibes transported me to a community garden in Santa Cruz, and the tastes and techniques to Europe. Good thing it's inconvenient to get here from UC San Diego or else I'd be here much more often.

This is just below the price for an Extraordinary Desserts cake slice, which is not only bigger and more complex, but also made fresh.

Lines are always better with a friend and even though we all arrived before opening there was still a healthy line. I was really excited, to finally get to check them out, I saw on their socials that a new chef had taken residency and that they came with some Filipino flair. As a fellow Filipino I definitely wanted to support. I ended up ordering a lumpia roll, ube butter ensaymada, a halo halo tart and a egg sando sandwich along with an iced matcha with honey, with tip my total was $48, which isn't horrible considering these are meant to be higher quality pastries. My girlfriends and I found a table and decided we would share, I shared my egg sando sandwich and the lumpia roll, while they shared their ube butter ensaymada and the turon kouign amann. My matcha, was a horrible, it was a muddy green and really lacked any matcha flavor, my friend didn't like her matcha either and she had the miso caramel matcha. I didn't even finish my matcha and I can really take one down. We joked about how we should have opted for the orange juice instead. Now for the pastries, I was really underwhelmed by them, the ensaymada was just fine, I honestly cannot remember the taste of it, it lacked something. The egg sando sandwich, the filling was plentiful and flavorful BUT the bread was dry, was that potato bread? The texture was off for me and I ended up just scooping out the filling and eating it like that. Where the sando had a good amount of filling the lumpia roll lacked it, it was so sparse I figured it would be more like a sausage roll so I was taken aback by how little there was in it. Flavors were fine, the pastry was buttery but I just wanted a little more. The one pastry we agreed was better than the rest was the turon kouign amann, the crunchy bits of sugar was so reminiscent of turon but the filling, for me was like uncooked banana bread batter, that threw me off entirely. It was better, but not the filling. So overall, I would say it was okay, I guess for the costs it just didn't meet my expectations.

Then to top it all off, it had pistachio cream on top of the cookie! I only wish I got another one. CAPPUCCINO It was okay. But love the foam! It was frothy and foamy! PAVLOVA The meringue was a bit too hard and too sweet and the pastry cream was overwhipped. Loved the fresh fig and blueberries though. I was looking forward to eating pavlova and this was very disappointing! KOUIGN AMANN Very buttery and sticky! Crispy on the outside. Every bite was not dry, but chewy. There was this sticky and chewy texture that wasn't unpleasant, yet it wasn't fully flaky like a croissant. But glad it was not dry! The kouign amann was not as tall like others I've tried, but I preferred it this way because it was not dry. The last kouign amann I had from Bread Lounge was dryyyy. But bought mine at a coffee shop too. PAIN AU CHOCOLAT Crispy on the outside, but I must have toasted a bit more, so the outside was a bit more toasted than desired. Inside was good. Good dark chocolate. BUTTER CROISSANT Really buttery, flaky, crispy! Ate it next day, so reheated it in the toaster oven to bring a more crispness all around. Really enjoyed this! Adding butter and jam is so good! LEMON MERINGUE Meringue had a strong eggy smell and flavor, the lemon was tangy, but not enough to rid of the eggy smell and flavor. The tart was hard and almost stale. I took a few bites and threw the rest out. PAIN SUISSE Chocolate flavor. Crispy on the outside, fluffy like a light spongy cake inside. Enjoyed this! CUSTOMER SERVICE Got there early afternoon. There was only one person in front of me. Good service overall. Quick service. Hits and misses of the various pastries I've tried. It will not deter me from trying their pastries though, as the really good ones were really good! Would love to return! Especially for that Choco Chip Pistachio Cookie! LOCATED INSIDE ANOTHER STORE Located inside a store called Floral Palette, which is a floral shop and specialty gift store. Beautiful store! The sign is big, so you cannot miss it!

They were amazing!!! I got the biscoff matcha latte with the biscoff foam and a few slices of cake. It was soooo good. I'm going try to plan for some relaxing time next time. The inside was beautiful and peaceful. Looks like a great place to start my day.

The crowd will come and go, so there's some moments of reprieve if you're considering this spot for reading/working. My "low" rating is because I feel quite mixed about the quality of the consumables. I really enjoyed my orange blossom latte. They accommodated a decaf shot for me, given how late it was in the day. I got a sesame raspberry cake to go, planning for it to be a nice dessert treat for dinner. The mini cake tastes like sesame, and the thin spread of raspberry was nice to break th creaminess. So while it tastes really nice, I was let down by the uneven raspberry taste and since it wasn't enough, the cake turned out to be too sweet when I got to the second half. Maybe this is a quality control issue, but I'm not sure I'll get another $12 mini cake from them any time soon.
