Yay! They have tomato soup now, perfect for dipping the almost grilled cheese! We haven't been back to Con Pane in a very loooong time because they messed up orders a couple of times and bread quality went downhill since they reppened. But now, we are happy with their bread again, more chocolate in their chocolate loaves again, smaller loaves compared to what they used to make, but more chocolate compared to when they just reopened post-COVID. We will definitely be back for the tomato soup, almost grilled cheese & chocolate bread! read more

Pathetic, overpriced, and under-stuffed sandwiches. But their bread is very good. Also, beware: they pay to remove or hide bad reviews. My job regularly orders sandwiches from here. They're expensive and often skimpier than they should be, but today was extra disappointing. I ordered the roast beef, and it came with TWO SLICES on this whole sandwich. Two pieces of lettuce, barely half a tomato, but a massive amount of onions. Did we really just pay $19 for bread ??? Next time the company orders, I'm not getting anything. And I certainly won't be going on my own. Two stars bc their bread is good. Otherwise it's a 1-star experience. read more

"With bread, all sorrows are less." - Sancho Ponza Great bread, great sandwiches, great coffee, and did I mention the bread? Take your time and enjoy Con Pane for a beautiful breakfast. Browse the menu, pastries and bread while waiting in the well-deserved long line to order. Sit outside and sip your coffee, butter and nosh on your bread or muffin, and just take in Liberty Station. Also pause as the planes come in overhead for a landing, but it is a good time to take a sip of your drink and contemplate where to take your conversation or self-reflection. read more

A lively and coffee fuelled atmosphere. Counter service was prompt and efficient. Food brought out to your table. Al fresco or inside seating and plenty of space. Ordered avocado toast and a matcha latte. Bread was superb crisp chewy and fresh. Matcha was custom and not pre-sweetened. Perfect breakfast after a long walk along the water at Liberty Station. My only minus would be the planes taking off from the airport every few minutes to break up the convo. Loud and unnerving for me. I always forget about that. It's like the "Starlight Freeze." If you know, you know. Still had a nice time and did some browsing the shops afterwards for impulse pick ups. A cool place every time. Do it! Jc read more

I was very excited to find this pastry spot at Liberty Station. Walking in, it immediately felt very French. The pastries on display looked beautiful, and the handwritten menu on the board added to the charm. I ordered a grilled cheese, a chocolate hazelnut twist, and a drip coffee. The half grilled cheese was excellent -- ooey, gooey, and full of distinct flavor. The drip coffee was also very nice, simple but satisfying. The twist, however, was more bready than pastry-like. It didn't have the light, fluffy texture I'd expect from a French pastry, and that was a little disappointing. The wait time for my order was longer than I would have liked, and while the inside felt very French, sitting outside was less enjoyable. There was a lot of local worker traffic and disruptions, which took away from the relaxing "French café" vibe I was hoping for. Still, the grilled cheese alone made the visit worthwhile, and the prices were very reasonable. I'm giving this place 4 stars (more like 3.5 in my mind), with the hope that I'll return to try something else on the menu. Sorry no pic read more

Cute little place at Liberty Station Point Loma San Diego. They have sandwiches, bread of course, soup, wine, coffee, juices, mimosa! Butternut squash soup is the soup of the day with a bowl being $8.95 and bread bowl $12.95, this is what I'll come back for. I bought an iced lavender latte. It's very potent. Will be back if I'm in the area. Lots of free parking nearby. read more

Whenever I'm around the Point Loma area of San Diego I make it a point to come by Con Pane to enjoy their fresh breads and delicious treats. You'll enjoy everything from their many choices of breads and pastries to their excellent coffee selections and the sweetest customer service ever! This time around I ordered the sweet bread baker's plate (with my selection of raisin and hazelnut, pan cioccolata and multigrain breads), a raisin brioche cinnamon roll and a cafe au lait. As always, all were prepared to my delight. They have a nice choice of eating areas either inside or out. Both will offer you a very comfortable and relaxing experience. I'll be back again for sure! read more

I've been coming here for years and even a year ago, I would have given this place five stars for everything, but something has been OFF the last few visits. Not sure if they're under new management or if we're just getting unlucky? Last month I went and they completely lost our order and we had to go up and ask for it after 45 minutes of waiting. Last week, I ordered my usual Turkey Cobb sandwich with no Gorgonzola, and when I got home I realized that it had no turkey. Like none. The sandwich was just avocado and lettuce and two tiny pieces of bacon. If I'm paying $15 for a sandwich, surely it should have the main part of it? To their credit, I called and they said they'd refund the cost of the sandwich, but I really just wanted what I ordered! Finally, today I ordered a breakfast sandwich, and the bread was burnt. Again, I was already home. I didn't bother calling them. I keep giving them chances out of mostly habit, and because when they get it right, it's delicious, but I won't recommend them to visitors any more. I don't know what they'll get! And next time, I'll probably take everything out and examine it before I leave. Or not order sandwiches again. Such a pain for the premium prices. read more

I've come here many times and have had the pleasure of receiving service from very nice employees. Not so today. Today, I had the unfortunate circumstance of having my order taken from Abigail G. Not only was her service and attitude lackluster, but when I approached the counter a second time to make sure my order was to-go, she grimaced at me and made me feel as though I asked a ridiculous question. She was not friendly, not welcoming and with a 5% "supplemental fee" on top of a tip, I expect, at least, kindness. read more

Great place for small gatherings. Outdoor space is cute. Sandwich was excellent. Popular pastry products did run out very fast on a Sunday.

I have no words, everything was absolutely delicious! I saw a huge line coming out of the cafe and thought I'd just pop in to see what they had. The smell of fresh bread was intoxicating. I ordered the following: Garlic, Tomato & Cream Cheese Foccacia: 5/5 DELICIOUS. Wow. I'm not even sure how to describe this, but the garlic and tomato was so tasty on the focaccia. I actually wanted to order the pesto version but they sold out. Butter Toffee Peanut Butter Cookie: 5/5 Loved this cookie! So soft and chewy. read more

Amazing bakery that everyone from SD needs to try. I got the white cheddar and scallion scone and a croissant. Scone is a must for people who love savory scone, and the croissant is such high quality. Sandwiches are solid too-- the highlight is the thick cut bread (get the rosemary olive oil bread). Turkey Cobb is great and love the Gorgonzola cheese. The ambiance here is spot on for casual dining with friends. Lots of tables indoors and outdoors. Service was friendly and quick! read more

I resisted going to Con Pane for the longest time, brushing it off with excuses like, "It's overrated" or "Who eats bread for breakfast?" Turns out, it's not overrated at all--and yes, I absolutely want bread for breakfast, lunch, and dinner. The Point Loma Sourdough is a game-changer. I had no idea sourdough could be that fresh and soft. The other day, I found myself craving their seasoned roast beef sandwich. So, what did I do? I gave in--and it was 100% worth it. Today, I picked up a loaf of sourdough for dinner. No regrets. There can be a bit of a wait. There's a bread/ pastry only line that goes by quicker. read more

Made a stop at Con Pane before heading back to LA. As soon as we pulled up, we could see how many people were coming in and out with bags of bread. We got their their Daily - Garlic, Tomato & Cream Cheese focaccia and their Spinach, Roasted Shallot, Parmesan Cheese & Balsamic Vinaigrette. We definitely liked the garlic, tomato and cream cheese more. The Chocolate Hazelnut Twists was good as well. We also got their Seeded French Baguette. Can't wait to make a sandwich with that. We gotta come back next time to try their other bread or sandwich. There's plenty of places to eat there since it's part of Liberty Station. read more

Sooooooo good. The bread is delicious and my favorite is getting the either the sweet or savory samplers. Dint be scared by the length of the line, it moves quick. It can be a bit of a challenge to get a table on a beautiful day. Something we've done in the past is to bring a blanket and get our order to go. Next thing you know you're munching on delicious pastries in the shade of a tree with grass between your toes. And that's a memory you won't soon forget. read more

I've been here a few times and have genuinely been blown away by their sandwiches. We've also had some catering from them for meetings in past. I'm not a fan of their pastries (not even their beloved cinnamon roll as most of the pastries tasted dry and not as fresh). There's usually 1-2 cashiers taking orders. The pastry and bread selections are on display up front. There's also a 5% surcharge on every order along with the tip screen that comes up after you give them your credit card. The bussers, who bring your dine in and to go orders, generally have been more friendly than the cashiers for some reason. My go to order is the: Turkey Cobb Sandwich $13.95 (whole sandwich) which has Roasted Turkey Breast, Applewood Smoked Bacon, Fresh Avocado, Crumbled Gorgonzola , House Roasted Roma Tomatoes, Mayonnaise and Romaine Lettuce You can select several breads but my fave is the sourdough. The crust has the best chew texture and the innards are ridiculously pillow-y with the perfect amount stretch and 'holes' (maybe from the yeast?). The are able to sub the gorgonzola for brie and add extra mayo at no extra charge. It legit is a fantastic sandwich. My family has purchased a variety of their breads with no complaints. So I'd return to try other items . read more

WOW. This food. I was blown away. The quality of the bread was so incredibly flavorful and light and satisfying, and the sandwich ingredients were SO fresh. The restaurant was busy, with good reason. If I lived in the area it would be difficult not to come every single day I could. Yet we were still able to find a table relatively quickly, and the sandwiches were brought out with remarkable speed. I knew I had no need for an entire loaf of bread, but man was I close to buying one. Or three. They just smelled that good. So anyways I'm already planning my next trip back specifically to visit Con Pane. And try ALL of their bread. I think I'd like to eat nothing but bread for all of my meals from here on out. Hopefully that gives you an idea of how much I enjoyed this cafe. read more

I love this place the bread is always great and so is the packaging. The sandwich making for some reason is always off. Every time I order extras on a sandwich somehow it's really off. This was $4.5 add on for bacon the other half of sandwich was even less. Not even a full strip of bacon. So usually when I order i try and avoid adding anything extra on even if I want it unless I'm there eating it :( read more

Bread flights!!!! We chose a savory and a sweet flight and coffee for breakfast. On the way out we selected sandwiches for dinner. Everything was amazingly fresh, delicious and artisan. Be prepared for a line; however, we did not have any trouble finding seating in the outdoor patio or opt for a lovely picnic in the nearby park. Very casual and welcoming for all (children, dogs, etc). @sturdygirlstyle #sturdygirlstyle read more

I like this place in Liberty Station. I met here with a coworker for coffee/a bite before a meeting. The place is clean and well-kept. The menu options are fantastic and the baked goods pulled me in - I was initially going to have coffee, but the apricot scones called to me. I answered. The employees were friendly and professional. There is a lovely outdoor sitting area to sit and eat. Overall, I'm impressed. It is highly recommended to be near Point Loma and Liberty Station. read more

The Turkey Cobb is everything a sandwich should be. Also, I didn't know I needed chocolate bread crisps in my life, but apparently, I do! The brioche cinnamon bun was simple, straight to the point, soft and chewy, and not overly sugared up. It was a nice treat. Hats off to the clerk who helped me with recommendations--I tend to have decision fatigue =) The staff were all really great! read more

Love the food, service, location. Them vanilla shortbread cookies are next level, too. Finding a place to sit can be challenging but there's lovely places to sit in the park around or the food is just as good at home. read more

I LOVE a good sourdough, and Con Pane delivered. They have all sorts of fresh breads and pastries. While their menu is almost exclusively sandwiches, I appreciate that each sandwich comes out fresh. Coming here with my boyfriend and his sister's family, I got a roast beef sando with added avocado. So simple, yet so tasty. The bread slices are thick-cut! read more

Their sourdough bread is better than I've had anywhere else in the states. So when I come to San Diego for work each year my colleague and I always stop by at least once for a slice of sourdough toast for breakfast. Their coffee... is kind of meh... they serve dark roast, and I much prefer light roasts. But they still get five stars because of their bread! I've also ordered and really loved their apricot and ginger scone and their orange morning bun. read more

Excellent sandwiches because of the variety freshly baked breads! I work near Liberty Station so my coworkers and I used to go to lunch here regularly. My favorite sandwich is the Turkey Club on Kalamata olive bread (bread baked fresh daily). If you have a sweet tooth, their granola and shortbread cookies are the bomb read more

My son's girlfriend had been visiting San Diego for a few days, but we didn't have the chance to meet up with her. Thankfully, we were able to coordinate to meet up for breakfast this morning. Thanks to my better half for finding a restaurant that was conveniently located from my son's apartment and where we needed to go afterwards. Besides being centrally located, Con Pane Rustic Breads & Cafe served scrumptious sandwiches with amazing bread as vessels for its contents, delightful and memorable pastries/cookies, and tasty Java to wash our grub down. Con Pane is located in the Liberty Station confines, which is next to the Marine Corps Recruit Depot complex. Closest major thoroughfare would be Rosecrans Street. Within Liberty Station, it's on the corner of Historic Decatur and Dewey Roads. The restaurant is next to Slater's 50/50, next to Sea Hive, next to Cocina 35, across the street from the Barracks 19 building, and diagonally from the Visions Art Museum. There is plenty of lot and street parking. It's a spacious spot with indoor and outdoor umbrella seating. Inside the restaurant, vibrancy abodes with the music, paint colors, framed pics of bakery utensils, painted verbiage like "eat more bread", interesting light fixtures, and rattan chair seats. It can get loud with the consistent flow of airplanes from our local airport. You order from the customer service oriented and friendly employees, they'll provide you with a number, and your food will be delivered to you. Con Pane is primarily a bakery that specializes in breads and baked goods. The focal point of the restaurant are their display cases of these breads and pastries. They also serve a variety of sandwiches, soups, sweets, and hot/cold drinks. It was a little intimidating trying to decide what to order because everything looks so delicious. When my son and his girlfriend finally joined us, they wanted to order sandwiches just like me. For the sandwiches, you get to choose what type of bread you want to encapsulate the toppings with and the bread would be from the Daily Breads choices. For our party of four we ordered the following: half sandwiches of Turkey Cobb with Rosemary Olive Oil bread, Roasted Turkey with Rosemary Olive Oil bread, Italian Salami with Point Loma Sourdough bread, Raisin Brioche Cinnamon Roll, and two cups of hot Butterscotch Lattes. My sandwich was the Turkey Cobb and it was amazing with the soft and tasty Rosemary Olive Oil bread. My sandwich comes with roasted turkey breast, applewood smoked bacon, fresh avocado, crumbled Gorgonzola, house roasted Roma tomatoes, mayo, and Romaine lettuce. For a half sandwich, they weren't stingy with its ingredients, it was fresh tasting, and it was yummy. I really enjoyed the butterscotch latte to make each bite of food go down easier. We brought home an assortment of scones, a butter toffee peanut butter cookie, and a chocolate hazelnut twist. It was a blessing to spend quality time with our son and his girlfriend. We all got to enjoy for the first time the delectable sandwiches and luscious coffee from Con Pane Rustic Breads & Cafe. read more

Okay... I know I am going to get roasted for my review, but it is probably because I should have ONLY ordered bread (obviously), from a bread restaurant, despite it also being a cafe. Morning 1 Chocolate Hazelnut Twist $6.50 Orange Sugar Buns $4.75 White Chocolate Lemon Scone $4.50 Morning 2 Pesto, Ricotta, Shallots, & Tomato Focaccia (not warmed) $11.95 Pistachio White Chocolate Croissant $6.95 Assorted Mini Scone Bag $12.95 My coworkers and I were in SD area for a work conference and Con Pane Rustic Breads & Cafe was on their list "to try." We ended up stopping by first to grab a few items and then stopped by different coffee shops after, before our conference began for the day. After our first visit, a few other coworkers were intrigued so we stopped by again the next morning. On a rainy, Thursday morning, there were barely any customers, but on a sunny, bright Friday, the place was packed! Being from LA, I think I have been way spoiled by our bakeries so I felt that the baked goods just did not reach my expectations. All pastries were heavy with dough basically, not light and airy, even including the croissant. The Chocolate Hazelnut Twist was not what I had anticipated, and was more bread-y than anything - not light with layers. It was more like "braid" than an actual "twist." The scones, at first look, looked very dry but I was too intrigued with the daily flavors that I had to try them. The Orange Sugar Bun had an outer sugar coat and candied orange pieces on the inside. Still a bit too dough-y for me, but it was still "lighter" than the Chocolate Hazelnut Twist. I like my pastries light and airy. I have not tried the Focaccia yet, but out of all the items tasted, so far, the croissant is okay. A croissant from Costco has even more flavor, butter, and is flaky - and is even cheaper. I could buy a whole box of Costco croissants for the price of 1 Pistachio White Chocolate Croissant. What Con Pane lacks is butter, and a lot of it in their pastries. Everything is dry and heavy (literally), with dough. A few times a year, I drive all the way to Burbank for a little French bakery, for their croissants and baked goods. It is the best - they now even cater to lots/sets as they shoot shows, etc. Since it was early morning, there were a few street parking spots. After trying Con Pane on 2 separate occasions, I also agree with another Yelper, I cannot recommend Con Pane. Since I did not try the bread, I would venture on a limb and possibly say yes to trying them since pictures of the bread do look soft and with the right amount of crisp on the outside. Service was great on the first day. The second day was probably because they were super busy and the line (all the way to the door) never stopped. Since it was slower on the first day, my items were provided to me right after I ordered. On the second day, due to busy-ness, I was given the Assorted Scones first (as they are packaged), and then my other items were brought to me when they saw my number, placed on the table. They did not even provide me a bag with a handle, so I had literally a sandwich bag (with oil seeping through from the Focaccia) and a bag of Assorted Scones - had to use 2 hands. I was going to ask for a paper bag with handles, since my 3 other coworkers received one, but one of my coworkers gave me theirs since they were provided with 2 separate paper bags with handles. read more

My friend and I went a little over board getting food here. I ordered the Seasoned Roast Beef and my friend got the Italian Salami. I think the Seasoned Roast Beef was pretty good, not anything special, but the Italian Salami had excellent flavor. I'm not sure what it was, but I think the added pesto sauce in the Italian Salami gave it the extra flavor needed. This is a spot I will take my visiting friends to have good pastries and sandwiches. read more

Don't add on a supplemental fee! If the price says $7.50 that what I want to pay. Not be surprised with another fee when I pay.

Food: 6/10 Service: 8/10 Ambiance: 9/10 Maybe. Just maybe I got the wrong sandwich because I've heard great things about this place but it was so mid. But it was such a mid experience that I'm not sure if I'd go back. But service was good and cute vibes!! read more

The main thing I really enjoy from this place is their amazing tomato, garlic, and cream cheese focaccia! It's so tasty! It taste super fresh and has the perfect amount of garlic flavor.
