    I love the idea of a baking collective where they rotate different bakers. I found out about this place through Instagram and knew I wanted to try the different Filipino desserts that are available right now. I would definitely recommend coming here earlier in the day when they have all of the pastries. There was also a line both times but it moved quickly. My personal favorites were the turon Kouign Amann, choc nut loaf, buko pandan supreme, and kare kare baked good. I definitely went crazy and tried a bunch of pastries the two times I went here just because I was so curious about all of the different options!! The portions are generous for the price and they don't skimp on the fillings. The only one I would pass on would be the lumpia roll. The experiences I had the two times I stopped by was super encouraging and I would definitely keep an eye on this place to see what other bakers are showcasing to try all the great desserts.

    Very nice collective with rotating menu and resident chef. I came in June to try chef Ashley del Rosario's pastries. Her Turon-Kouign Amann pastry was so delicious!! It's best to come open minded to try new flavor combinations because you'll never know what they have if you don't check their socials and website. I would come visit again to try the next chef's work!

    Buttermilk Cinnamon Bun

    Tiny little shop on the corner of 5th & Olive in Banker's Hill- super close to Balboa park. A decent amount of street parking but prepare for there to be a line (though it moves fast). This was my first time here and I asked one of the workers about the famous cinnamon buns and he recommended the buttermilk cinnamon bun. I also paired my bun with a matcha lemonade situation (can't remember exactly what it was but it was refreshing and delicious). $8 for one cinnamon bun is a little crazy though so that's why the 4 stars, for the matcha lemonade (no adds) and the cinnamon bun i paid $15.

    Came here on Saturday morning with the wifey. You have to come early as they do have a line. The service was good and they are fast to get the line down. We got a variety but the Banoffee Maritozzi was an interesting combination of a sliced banana and corn flakes. But the Orange Blossom Ube Financier was our favorite. Would definitely come back and get that again. The store is pretty small, so you get the baked goods togo, but if you can't wait to get them home they do have tables outside so you can enjoy them.

    Finally got to try this place out, and it did not disappoint. We got here early, as they tend to have a line. Definitely worth the wait. The pastries are all so tasty and fresh. My favorite was the Orange Blossom Ube Financier. The butter almond cake was so tasty and loved how the outside was crisp. Perfectly made. The inside is super tiny but clean. You basically get your goodies togo or they have tables outside for you to enjoy. Thank you Michi Michi for your hospitality and and tasty baked goods. Will definitely be back to try more.

    Egg sando and cream cheese cinnamon roll

    I've been coming here since they opened, after waiting patiently and peering in the windows for months beforehand, and love the welcoming atmosphere and tasty treats! Whenever I'm overwhelmed by choice Andres helps me out and never steers me wrong, he also always checks in to ask how I'm doing or what I've been up to which really adds to the community vibe I find so appealing about this spot because it's a pretty unique experience!

    Oh my goodness, a burst of flavor in my mouth! Came here for the first time with my brother and the pastries were so fresh, delicious, big and flavorful. Some were not that much sweet which is fine for me! The presentation on some of them was absolutely beautiful. The prices were in the middle/average. Not too much but also not cheap. But definitely a nice lil treat to treat yourself once in a while! The service was wonderful. Everyone that works there is very nice and friendly. They give great recommendations. Their drink menu is very small. The inside of the place is small. There was a line out the door but it moves by fast. There is seating outside but very limited. They have very limited parking (only street parking) so it depends on the day and if you get lucky on finding parking.

    Right when I got there, I had a feeling this place was going to be good, because there was a line out the door! I got the Raspberry Flan, since I always like getting the fruity tart desserts, and I loved it! The crust was flaky, and the raspberries were very fresh. I also got the chocolate chip cookie and the chocolate chunks were melty which I loved. The store is small, but there's seating outside, which is great because of the San Diego weather.

    Liz R.

    Like any other review says, Michi Michi is that good! If you're out of town, near the area, want something to treat yourself too, this is your spot! You must try their cinnamon rolls! Small corner cafe on streets of bankers hill, with meter parking around (don't pay for it, nobody does. Especially San Diego locals). There is seating outside but limited - as well as drink menus but various pastries to choose from. You can't go wrong with any! The baristas are friendly and quick too! They must get busy some days because when my friend and I went it was slow and still lots of options left. The vibe is overall relaxed and calm. Can't go wrong with Michi Michi, I need to go back!

    Blueberry cheesecake tart (April 2026)-- more of a croissant base but really tasty blueberry cheesecake flavor!
    Wendy T.

    Love the idea of a baking collective-- rotating bakers every month brings the anticipation and joy of trying new creative pastries! When I went last week, the menu showcased Chef Julian Demonchy and was very laminated/croissant-focused. There were some really interesting flavor combinations (smoked Baja tuna croissant, pistachio rhubarb galette, etc.), and everything was beautiful :D ** Matcha white & ruby chocolate cookie (4/5): strong matcha flavor, and the ruby (pink) chocolate was more for looks than taste. The texture of the cookie was super soft without much chew and made it hard to pick up in one piece. Tasty overall~ ** Jalapeño popper baton (4/5): earns a thumbs up from MT who described it tasting just like a jalepeno popper. The inside was cream cheesy with a kick of spiciness. The croissant was pretty but not really crispy at all (maybe because of the filling?) so was more of a thin bread. ** Pistachio rhubarb galette (4/5): brownie points for creativity and visual presentation! Very pretty. As for taste, the pistachio frangipane was nutty and creamy, could've been sweeter for me, but was the tastiest part. The rhubarb was concentrated in the middle in big pieces and wasn't very sweet. Perfect for those who love a "not too sweet" dessert. ** Orange blossom ube financier (3.5/5): the financier portion itself was yummy with a light fluffy and moist texture, and the only ube part was the ganache on top. MT felt like it wasn't enough ube flavor despite how vibrant the color was. Think this would be good if you had this alone with coffee or tea. ** Croissant fruit tart (4/5): the filling was more like an egg tart than the usual fruit tart cream, but the fruit was sweet. The edges are layered like croissant as advertised, pretty neat! ** Blueberry cheesecake tart (4.5/5): my favorite out of the haul-- definitely tastes like a blueberry cheesecake with a slight taste of something funky (not sure if it was a small layer of goat cheese) that I could've done without. Despite being named a tart, it was more of a croissant base. I loved the (hopefully) naturally purple hue of the croissant layers from the blueberries, so pretty! The layers still were light and airy, delish! It's a tiny and cute spot with a few tables outside, and the staff were friendly. Metered street parking is your best bet. While it was fun (and made me happy!) to eat through most of the menu, I probably wouldn't order anything except for the blueberry cheesecake tart but would return to try new things. I recommend checking Michi Michi if you're in the area, and it's perfect do grabbing a box to share at the park nearby!

    The goods!
    Joe C.

    I finally made it in for myself and what a treat it was! The guy behind the counter was super friendly. He knew I was on a mission and decided to just get one of everything lol. The pastries here are out of this world. The egg sando is absolute the chili crunch on top is . Everything about this place is awesome. Very chill atmosphere and they don't try to upsell you, not that they had too lol

    Almond croissant, cinnamon roll, kumquat torta de azucar, birria croissant
    Kathy T.

    Michi Michi is one of my favorite bakeries in San Diego! It has so many unique pastries, and occasionally has fun in unique collabs with local San Diego small businesses! It is located in the heart of Bankers Hill near Balboa Park. Parking is metered street parking or near residential areas. I've tried a number of their pastries throughout a couple visits and I've loved a majority of them. My recent favorite has to be the kumquat torta de azucar, which was pillowy and perfectly sweet. The cinnamon roll was not quite cinnamon-y enough for me, but the softness of the bun was heavenly! Definitely give Michi Michi a try if you're looking for a bakery in San Diego!

Very cute inside, with some Strawberry Shortcake theme decor. Unfortunately first impression with the service was not very good. The person seemed very unenthusiastic, didn't smile, or seem welcoming. It's possible we just went on and off day. Since we were there I did get some of the mini cupcakes to try. One was a Snickers chocolate cupcake and the other was a Strawberry Shortcake cupcake. They both tasted good, but nothing really spectacular that I would have to go back for. The Snickers one tasted basically like a regular chocolate cupcake with a miniature sneaker placed on top. The Strawberry Shortcake one had some type of strawberry crumble on top which was good. I would say that was my favorite of the two. If you come on Tuesday they are $2 for the cupcakes, so something to keep in mind. They have a variety of other desserts and even drinks as well. They have caramel apples, Sundays, different cakes, Etc. If you're already in the mall it might be worth the quick peek to see if anything appeals to you. If anything just for a few cute photo ops.
