Incredibly kind and friendly owners. Love the vibe and ingredients are amazing. Gave cookies to the grand babies after we purchased a couple loaves... so nice! Can't wait to come back when we are in the area. read more

First off we are out of towners. The proprietor was very friendly and there are many baked breads to choose from. I picked up a loaf of jalapeno/cheese and a mixed nut loaf (the loaves are smaller size). There were no prices posted by the bread bins. My wife also chose a small single pastry. The total was over $25. That would put each loaf at about ten dollars a piece. I was surprised how expensive it was but blame myself for not asking in advance. Buyer beware. read more

This is the old Pagnol bakery. Ownership has changed along with the name. Looks like they recently started back up and selection was a bit limited but it all smells good. The loads seem a bit smaller and the price was a bit high but can't wait to try the cheddar garlic loaf. read more

Delicious pastries!! Almond croissant was excellent. Cute vibe and wonderful service.

The linzer tarts are to die for, the bread and specials are consistently delicious, service is fast and super friendly, and the open dining area in the front is nicely decorated and spacious. This is by far my favorite bakery, EVER. read more

My wife and I tried this bakery for the first time. I heard their croissants were great. Tried the plain, strawberries & creme filled and another chocolate filled danish. The later two were very good! The plain was a little dense and not as fluffy, but ok as well. I also tried their strawberry and raspberry fruit tarts, which were wonderful! Lastly, we tried a loaf of their plain sour dough bread. Had a good crisp on the outside, but it had the density and flavor of more of a french bread because we did not taste any sourness like we were hoping and expect from sour dough bread (just our preference for more of the sourness taste). Other than that, great place to go for fresh baked goods! Nice owners and service as well. The ambiance is a friendly, home feel with seating outdoors. I recommend you give them a try. read more

Great little organic market with yummy baked goods and high quality frozen yogurt...we love new businesses in our little berg! read more

This bakery produces outstanding bread at moderate prices. My favorite is the sourdough rye, but you can't really go wrong with any of their products. Friendly staff. read more

Amazing food. Definitely check this place out. Sourdough croissants! Such friendly staff.

We came here for bread but were wowed by their desserts. I am a sour dough bread maker myself so I can appreciate the work it takes into making a good loaf. Of the 3 loaves we purchased our favorite is rosemary with Kalamata olives; the flavor was perfectly balanced. The einkorn was interesting, it tastes much more sour than a normal sour sough loaf but the flavor was good. I thought the jalapeño cheese was a tad bit too spicy and could use a bit more cheese. The stars of this bakery are the cookies and tarts. The almond cookies made with acorn flour ( we ate it so fast didn't take pictures) has an unique flavor and texture. We couldn't quite place some of the ingredients. It was crispy and so so good. The fruit tart was also fantastic, the crust had a hint of cardamon and was baked perfectly. We thought the raspberry tart was slightly better than the wild blueberry bc of how the tartness of the raspberry really balanced well against the crust. I would love to have a recipe of the crust! The chocolate chip cookies were the bombs! You can taste the almond flour and the chocolate chips. We ate 2 in a row! Lastly, the almond croissant was unusual because it is made with sour dough. What I really appreciate is the almond paste which is not too sugary so I can taste the almond flavor. We also picked up 2 jars of locally made honey. Overall we loved the baked good from here and will definitely return when we are back in the area! Owner was super super friendly which is always a plus! read more

Fresh and tasty breads dominate this artisan bakery while the cookies/brownies make your diet abandon all hope. I especially like the raisin walnut bread. Super nice people and a charming location to lovely Los Osos. Gluten free eaters might try this bakery as the quality of grains doesn't trigger a response for some people with GF issues. Great for French toast, cookie nibbling and deep indulgence with a decadent brownie you'll want to marry. read more

I visited Caliwala Bakery for the first time since it changed ownership and thought the quality of the baked goods is still amazing. We got an olive bread loaf that is so moist and flavorful that we ate a couple of slices with no butter what so ever. Will definitely go back the next time I visit Los Osos. read more

Great local bakery. Nice selection. Everything was fresh and delicious. Staff were friendly and helpful.

Bread!!! In a house!!!! By the water!!! Two words...sourdough croissant. I walked there every morning from my air b&b. So good!

Pricy but very tasty. I had a French onion soup-flavored croissant w cheese and thyme. We also had gluten free empanadas, gluten free chocolate chip cookies and gluten free bread! Lovely patio for soaking up the local vibe. read more

Beautiful bread and an amazing variety. Loved the sourdough and the olive loaf. The owner is friendly and willing to explain everything about the different lobes. It's a popular place so be prepared to stand in line but the wait is worth it read more

We love Caliwalla! Great specialty items, baked goods, such good homemade bread! We support you!

This is the friendliest local spot. It's in a house on 3rd Street so easy to miss. And they have VEGAN CROISSANTS. Love having vegan pastry options. And the raisin walnut bread is a favorite in our house. read more

What I find hard to believe is that I haven't given Calawala a rating and it is a place that I have been having lunch at you know pretty regularly every week every other week for some time. Then we know the cook personally and loved his work the sandwiches are just excellent just had another one of the vegan beet sandwiches tonight and my wife Raves over them. I have had the turkey sandwiches and their marvelous and the roast beef in the tri-tip and they're all just excellent and then the selection of chips that I choose from for the go with it I've got all these wild flavors like Verde Lea onions and BBQ sandwich sea salt and black pepper and salt and I don't know there's just a bunch of choices and I like them all. Then we buy coffee there because they've got some really really good coffee that comes from I don't know, I don't drink coffee but my wife's loves it and I deliver whatever she wants. And we sometimes even go out to the lake which is about 10 miles out of Santa Margarita and we have lunch at the lake in the in the group area which is always empty during the week. it's just beautiful sometimes we just go across the street into this park in Santa Margarita and have lunch there and it's just beautiful I did that today. So anyway lots of vegetables to choose from lots of organic organic and vegan and vegetarian and choices and good flavors and all kind of sauces and jellies and jams and I don't know it's just got everything just get over there and give it a try you might not judge a book by it's cover judging by what's inside. And what's inside is wonderful/ Oh yes don't forget the empanadas they're terrific. read more

Little hidden gem. Bakery is built in a house, so don't blink you might miss it. But once you find it, it's worth the stop. Super friendly people and wonderful bread. Tried three different types of sourdough and all of them were on point. read more

Charming place, lovely people. Got a ham n cheese croissant to eat on a trip to Carrizo. Loved the sourdough flavor, and the many flakey layers speak to the baker's expertise. I'll be sure to swing by again the next time I am in the area. read more

Great service I called ahead and reserved the two cranberry walnut loaves that my wife and I love . They were there for us to pick up when we got there. Awesome bread I highly recommend them. read more

If you ever find yourself in or around the City of Santa Margarita, you need to checkout this deli & market. Their sandwiches are delicious. The bread and meat are local and so fresh. And the tamale pie with veggies and soy chorizo was a treat. Taking some home to add an egg for tomorrow's breakfast. Sorry, no pics, ate them too fast. read more

Santa Margarita was so lucky the day that the doors opened to this community centered grocery store! The produce is fresh and local, the groceries are healthy and fulfill a need for each and every person no matter what their diet restrictions! There are daily delivered scrumptious breads, pastries, cupcakes (yum!). There is a deli offering sandwiches, homemade soups, and a variety of take out dishes for delicious meals to go! They are open to suggestions so if you need something they are more than happy to add it to their shelves! They are clean, safe, happy, and community oriented! You might even find some live local music being performed on their porch entryway! read more

The quality and selection here would be excellent for town much larger than Santa Margarita. Here, it's a revelation. Well done!

This bakery is very special. If you are local, LUCKY YOU. If you are visiting, plan your trip so you are there when they are open (currently Friday-Sunday). Their sourdough croissants are heeeaaaven, and any loaf of bread I've purchased has been delicious. This last time the lovely lady recommended a loaf of einkorn and it did not disappoint. It is slightly nutty, chewy, and amazing. Bonus: this bakery is absolutely adorable! read more

Excellent quality, all natural bakery items and friendly service at this local gem hidden in a quiet residential area. We bought some chocolates brownies which had been baked a short while before, a selection of cookies and a loaf of bread. Highly recommend. read more

This place is overpriced. Now that that's out of the way, the owner is a sweetheart and really cares about the food she serves and the Santa Margarita community. She is mindful about the products she sells, getting local and fresh whenever possible. The staff is usually friendly and helpful. Kyle is always there working hard and making bomb food. We don't like how the sandwiches are always wrapped in plastic wrap though. Good selection overall for a small market and deli. Hope it expands into something more. read more

We met a friend here for lunch. The food is fantastic. Before we left I bought bakery goods, soup and a local beer for our dinner. We will definitely come back when we are in the area!! read more

Very lovely market owned by an even lovelier person. A little market that has tons of choices to meet everyone's needs. It's like a mini Whole Foods but done with care and love. Oh and try the tamale pie. You won't regret it! read more

Wonderful service and adorable store! I stopped here for some coffee and was pleasantly surprised to find much more. Went home with a coffee and hand crafted necklace. read more

This is a great local market. Santa Margarita has been needing something like this for years. The owner appears to take great pride in running the market. It's always very clean and the staff are all friendly and extremely helpful. The made to order food never disappoints. I love the variety of local beers and wines. I'm am very happy we have such a great little market in town! read more

Our event was catered by Caliwala and we couldn't be happier. Erin walked and talked me through the process from beginning to end. Her background in putting on events was so helpful. I had never put on an event before and this memorial/celebration of life for my son was attended by at least 160 people. Erin helped us put together our casual luncheon in such a way that it beautifully presented solutions to keep people safe and also provided options for all sorts of diets with healthy food. We chose a variety of sandwiches for meat eaters and vegans alike. Gluten free options too. Everything tasted so good and looked so nice. Her vegan carrot cake was such a hit! I highly recommend you check out the market and taste the goodies in the deli. If you have an event that needs to be catered, Caliwala has solutions and will work with you to make it a great experience. read more
