    Oh truly a top competitor for best bakery in San Diego!! I…read morevisited on a Thursday morning right at 8 to grab breakfast for my coworkers. there was already a line forming!!! So get there early. Service is great, they don't rush you at all. All of the pastries are laid out for whatever you want them to grab. I got regular croissants, chocolate croissants, and their seasonal raspberry croissant. I personally only had the raspberry one but my coworkers LOVED the others! I also got an iced vanilla latte and it was DELICIOUS - very bold and strong! I would definitely visit again.

    I've had Relic Bakery on my radar for a while, and signed up to be notified when they do their…read more"drops". When I saw one that worked with my schedule, I clicked in to see what they had to offer. Prices are quite high, $7-9 per pastry on average, and they had a good mix of sweet and savory, classic and unique flavors. I ordered three pastries: charcuterie danish, Kenyan chicken stew croissant, and lamb rillette spiral croissant. There was a fast turnaround for pickup, as I could only select dates from the next day. Their kitchen is located in a more commercial part of Mira Mesa, and parking was easy. When I walked in, I was a bit confused by the setup, as I stepped straight into a room full of baking supplies. I located the cabinet with pickups and grabbed my goodies. Very quick in and out. Overall, the pastry dough itself was fantastic across all three pastries. I air fried my pastries to warm them up before sampling them. My least favorite was the charcuterie pastry. The cured meat on top was very tough, possibly from being over-baked. I didn't really like how it paired with the apricot on top. Additionally, the top layer of the pastry was adhered to the toppings, and came off when I tried to cut or bite into it. The cheese rosette on top was cute but didn't add much to the flavor for me. The Kenyan chicken stew and lamb croissants were absolutely stunning. Both were not soggy and suuuuper flavorful. The ground lamb was tender and buttery, Since it is rolled throughout the croissant, you get some in each bite, the distribution is perfect. The Kenyan chicken stew is bold and spiced. There is a good amount of stew in the croissant cup, and the chicken was not tough. Paired with the buttery pastry, this was incredible. Overall, I enjoyed the pastries I ordered at Relic! They are incredibly pricy, and definitely an occasional treat, but worth it in my opinion.

    I love cheese and have been staring longingly at this pop-up shop's dates in my calendar for more…read moretime than I care to admit. Today was finally the day, and it was exactly what I hoped it would be! This "shop" is an enclosure in front of Macy's on the first floor of the mall. It was only moderately crowded today, but it's a small space and I could see things being crazy tomorrow. They supposedly offer thirty types of cheese, and I didn't count, but there didn't seem to be that many. In fact, I saw very few hard cheeses. But for everything they had, they were offering samples. How can anyone resist? There were some old standbys like Brie, but plenty I'd never tasted before, and I fell in love with the creamy Saint Agur. Despite the "Cheeses of Europe" name, they seem to be focused on French cheeses. They also had some drinks (not selling those, though) and butters to sample on bread, including a sea salt version with distinct, salty crystals. My friend just came back from Paris gushing about this butter style, so I was delighted to try it for myself. The prices are surprisingly reasonable, with most working out to around a dollar an ounce. It's more than I would typically pay for grocery store cheese, but far less than from a specialty store like Venissimo. Everything is pre-sliced and packaged, which will give true gourmands pause, but I'm not enough of a snob to be bothered. Purchases come with a little pamphlet of cheese recipes and information about cheese types. Credit cards are accepted. If you fall in love with any of the cheeses, they sell them at a number of Whole Foods stores in the LA area, but not in San Diego. So come while you can!
