    I love this bread ! I buy it at Costco. My only wish is that it would be two regular size loaves being sold instead of one large loaf.

The Kimchi Gruyere Bun was delicious and flavorful. As someone who is not big on coffee, this latte was actually so so good, and I would definitely recommend. I also tried a bite of the Bibimbap Croissant which was yummy too. Service was amazing! The staff were welcoming, friendly, and quick. They checked on us frequently and made sure if we needed anything else / if we enjoyed our food. They also offered us samples of a new item, the Coconut Pumpkin Bun, coming out around October. It was warm and not too sweet - a perfect balance in my opinion. The atmosphere and ambience was clean and cozy. It was a nice place for our group to enjoy some drinks and a quick bite. Everyone enjoyed themselves! Overall, I highly recommend checking this place out! I will definitely be back :)

    I came here on a Friday morning around 10:15 AM. Parking can definitely be a little difficult. I…read moreended up parking on a residential street nearby and walking about five minutes. The line was pretty long, especially for a Friday morning. It took about 30 minutes before I was able to place my order. Once you order you pay at the cashier and can either take everything to go or sit out on their cute covered front porch. They also have complimentary water and napkins available. I ordered: * Tomato & Cheese Tile: This was delicious. The tomatoes tasted really fresh, and the bread had a nice crisp exterior while still being soft and airy inside. * Peach & Vanilla Tile: Also really good. It had just the right amount of sweetness without being overly sugary. * Almond Croissant: You really can't go wrong with this one. Buttery, flaky, and delicious. * Jalapeño & Cheese Croissant: The croissant itself was buttery, light, and super flaky with a crisp outer layer. The jalapeño and cheese are mostly concentrated around one edge so I do wish there had been a little more throughout, but it was still really tasty. One thing to keep in mind is that a lot of items sell out pretty quickly. They were already out of the ham and cheese croissant well before noon so I'd recommend getting there earlier if there's something specific you want to try. The prices were also very reasonable. My total for all four items was just a little over $25. Overall, this is such a cute spot and definitely worth the hype. I'd absolutely come back and try more!

Do not pick the fruit off the vines, they have signs indicating they use them in their recipes. Wait in line, walk inside, order at the counter by pointing at what you want in the case. Card only. Tried: Strawberry pistachio croissant $6.75 - didn't really need the outer glaze was a little odd. Chocolate croissant $6.35 - okay Cinnamon bun $6.35 - this was better warmed up at home. Peach vanilla Tile $7 - good They have a 1% zero foodprint fee added on to all checks. Maybe I just got the wrong things but I wasn't a fan compared to other San Diego bakeries.

Super cutesy vibe and pretty delicate desserts. Almost reminds me of Nothing Bundt Cake interior with merch, candles, gifts, flowers.

I ordered the Island Girl Coffee, a macadamia latte, and asked for it less sweet. To me, it tasted very similar to a flavored hazelnut latte from Starbucks. Even with reduced sweetness, it was still sweeter than I prefer and had a slightly artificial flavor. If you enjoy flavored Starbucks-style coffee, you'll probably like it, but it's just not my personal preference. I actually didn't finish my drink because the flavor wasn't for me. That said, the cashier was very sweet, and the dessert display looked beautiful and tempting. While the coffee didn't win me over, I'd still come back to give their desserts a try since they looked much more appealing than the drink I ordered. Overall, a nice spot with friendly service, but next time I'll be skipping the flavored coffee and trying one of the desserts instead.

In one of their display cases they…read morehave an entire shelf that is labelled as all vegan, and luckily I asked an employee if there were any other vegan options because he told me that one of their two rows of rolled croissants were also vegan. I ended up getting a vegan almond croissant and a vegan chocolate hazelnut rolled croissant, both of which were ridiculously good. The almond croissant was nice and flaky yet still buttery inside, and the almond filling was lovely. However my favorite was definitely the rolled croissant, the hazelnut creme inside was so light and creamy and when taken in a bite with the croissant and chocolate shell coating was heavenly. They had so many other options that looked incredible, in particular if I came back I would definitely want to try the vegan kouign amann. The inside is cute and has a small amount of seating, however the place is quite busy and fills up very fast. Me and my friend were lucky to get there early and be able to claim a table, and so they plated the pastries for us quite nicely and heated up her pizza croissant.
