Top tier bakery with speedy service. We popped by mid-morning on a Saturday and were fortunate enough to only have a short line before ordeing. The staff are friendly, obviously love where they work and very willing to provide recommendations. They are also Very efficient, and keep the line moving. We ordered a variety to share. In order of preference, here's what we had: black sesame babka with lemon, spam musabi croissant, matcha mango cruffin, and the goat cheese and prosciutto stick. For the savory pastries, the spam musabi croissant is where it's at! The croissant is flakey, buttery perfection with a generous hunk of spam inside. For the sweets, the black sesame babka with lemon was the standout. For me, it had the perfect balance of sweet and the right texture. Would highly recommend. I'm definitely returning to taste my way across the pastry case! read more

Holy cow, the pastries were delicious here. When my friend told me that the offerings are different every week, I had very mixed emotions. So this fabulous item I am in love with may not be here next time? But there will be a whole case of new fabulous items for me to enjoy? read more

Employees were so cute and sweet, and the line moved fairly quick for a weekend! Such a quaint spot with outdoor seating to enjoy sd's weather. The miso in the caramel matcha added such a unique savory flavor, and was perfectly balanced and yummy. ALL the pastries looked amazing - I had such a hard time choosing!!!! Highlights were the olive oil cake, spam musubi croissant, and kimchi pull apart bread! read more

Every single thing I've had from Michi Michi has been fantastic. Their croissant items are exceptional. The lamination on their dough is sooooo good! I love that they have a lot of savory pastries. Their egg salad sandwich is the most flavorful I've ever had. The only downside is that I have to get up earlier than I'd like, because they sell out so quickly! read more

Michi Michi - Cream corn danish with Calabrian chili - Bakeries Near Me - San Diego, California

I've been wanting to try Michi Michi for a while and the pastries were really good!! We got a cream corn pastry that had a great flavor and was nice and savory. The Mole Babka was also delicious and had a rich icing on the top that really took it a step up. I also liked that it wasn't too sweet. Where I was hoping for a bit more was the matcha. It was $6 for a large size so the cost value was great, but the flavor was somewhat chalky and nothing special. I also drink caffeine on the regular, but about 30 minutes after drinking this I felt crazy from the caffeine and I feel like matcha isn't normally that strong. Either way we had an overall good experience and we were able to get a table outside to enjoy our pastries on a Sunday morning. I love the idea of the collective bakery and the pastries were really good so i'd return for those, but maybe not the drinks. read more

We spent exactly $50 for everything in our box but it was reasonable considering we ordered quite a lot for the 2 of us lol. We just wanted to try everything out! There was a line outside in the morning. This was on a Saturday around 10am so keep that in mind. They had everything still in stock though so that's a plus. It's a small shop though and the sun was hitting us as we waited so wear sunblock! All of the food tasted great though! We would come back again! Our favorite was the raspberry one, definitely recommend trying it out read more

Everyone here is friendly. 10/10 almond croissant is my favorite. The neighborhood Dogs love this place too (they told me). They do sell out fast on weekends, highly recommend arriving early, as the line gets a little longer but moves fast with the rockstars working the counter. Don't forget to leave a tip for the homies! They get up extra early for us and have the best attitudes. read more

Michi Michi - Cinnamon roll, chocolate, almond, kumquat. - Bakeries Near Me - San Diego, California

Visited this bakery because I saw it on social media and has been on my bookmarks for a long time. Parking was a little tricky because it's street and located near balboa park, but after a few rounds, I was able to find one on a Saturday afternoon. When I came in, a lot of the things appeared to be sold out but I got a few items like the cinnamon roll, a few different cookies and a cake box. The cake box looked familiar from a vendor at the local farmers markets and it was pretty good. The pastries from Michi Michi on the other hand were not impressive, can get and find better elsewhere. I'm glad I tried it as this is a "hot" bakery, but I wouldn't come back. Try it out for yourself! read more

What we got | black sesame lemon babashka | miso apple caramel monkey bread | guava cream cheese | passion fruit danish | matcha creme brûlée pie | chocolate chip cookie Taste | the pastries had a nice crunch but a soft texture on the inside. Flavors were great. The black sesame was fine without the lemon glaze. I broke the glaze off and left only a little bit. The monkey bread was yummy as well. I was very impressed with flavors for all the pastries and the texture. It tasted fresh even the next day. Service | workers were nice and quick Parking | street Notes | follow their IG to see what pastries they have available. They do sell out at the end of the day. Went around 830 AM on a Saturday and there was only 5-7 ppl ahead of us! read more

A distinctly unique bakery that does both savory and sweet. I tend towards the savory, but the sweet items are also excellent. I only wish that they would do nuts in their chocolate chip cookies, lol. Their hours are limited and they are only open until sold out, so I recommend going early. I also recommend that you scan both cases as the selection is extensive. Parking can also be difficult and be resigned to walk if you aren't already close by. Highly recommend and be sure to try something that is not your usual. You will be surprised. read more

I give this place one less star because there is no indoor seating area for when the weather's not as favorable. However, the pastries were amazing. I especially loved their cinnamon roll. They only had one type of flavored matcha latte, which was miso caramel flavored. It was a bit too savory for me at first, but grew on me. There was quite a line when I got there, but it went by quickly and was definitely worth the wait. There's a lot of street parking in the nearby areas but it may take a while to find. read more

So good!! We went on an early Friday morning and we were helped right away. They were patient with my party, as we were deciding on what to get! I got the pastry with prosciutto on it and it was the perfect combination of sweet and savory! I've never had anything like it! We also got the monkey bread, a cinnamon roll, and the honey cake! There was no other seating besides a bench outside, but that's expected for smaller bakeries like this! We loved all of it! We will be going back soon once the hype dies down! read more

I can never stay away! I was never much of a pastry girlie until I came across michi every thing I get here is delicious, fresh and unique. I love that the options are always changing and that they feature different chefs and small businesses in the community. The service is also always good specifically from Andres he always takes the time to remember his customers and say hi which makes Michi a warm welcoming place it gives this bakery that community neighborhood feel that so many of us wish we had with other local places making it way to easy to be a regular here lol! read more

OK, so I finally got to try this little hot spot. It's pretty good so many yummy bakery options and literally didn't even know what to get so I went with the guava danish. We had a raspberry jam cookie for my son. I wanna say that was vegan and we got a pig in a blanket everything was delicious. I do wish the pig in a blanket could've been warmed up, but that's not an option. Oh well it was still delicious and the drip coffee really hit. That was really good and I am not a drip coffee Fan anyhow I went super early so the line was not even bad. There is some outdoor seating and a bench which was pretty good, but can we highlight the service because everybody was happy smiling and just I got some really good service. Thank you for taking the time out and providing Five star service. I'll definitely be back. read more

Michi Michi - Cinnamon roll - Bakeries Near Me - San Diego, California

Meh. Sucks pastries are cold, no option to warm them up which sucks because you miss its glory when it's cold. We got the spam masubi (8/10), butternut squash (6/10), monkey bread (2/10), and Oaxaca mole (8.5/10). We tried their seasonal drink: pumpkin black sesame espresso. I didn't specify because I just assumed an espresso drink on a chilly morning was going to be a hot drink. They don't serve hot drinks (cold drinks I'm assuming for convenience since they can be premade). I'm not a cold latte kinda girl. No pumpkin flavor; definitely nothing to write home about. And pretty expensive overall. Tried it; on to the next. read more

Wow! I loved everything we got and will have to come back to try more! The cheesecake passion fruit & the black sesame really blew us away!! The service was nice & friendly. Their coffee menu is very simple but you can easily walk to coffee shops nearby! There are a few benches outside the bakery but it's more of a grab and go. Grab some pastries and head over to balboa park! We went Friday at around 9:30am and there was a short line. Totally worth it! read more

Sunday around 11 the line wasn't super long and it moved relatively quickly but the line definitely continued to grow and I'm sure it's like that from opening. I wasn't able to snag an official name for the pastries but the decisions were difficult as they all looked so so good, the vanilla honey pastry with strawberries was super yummy and flakey and the egg muffin was also perfectly spongy and I wish I got a cross section photo! Parking can be hard since it's bankers hill but I would definitely come back read more

I have to say I really enjoyed the baked goods and coffee that I had from this small business artisan bakery. I had a earl gray morning bun and a house drip coffee with room. The morning bun was fantastic. It offered a good cinnamon flavor and a subtle earl grey tea flavor, but what really impressed me the most was the texture of the morning bun. It had a good exterior crunch and a nice softer inside with s slight chew. It was just great. The coffee they make here was very good, too. It was very smooth and flavorful. The staff members were very cool. They offer a few benches outside for seating, but no inside seating. read more

Located in the Banker's Hill area, Michi Michi is a small bakery opened over a month ago. Open Wednesday through Sunday at 06:30 yay. Close walking distance from my gym Orange Theory and my Pilates studio...a bakery treat can be a reward post workout. All the prep and baking takes place at this location with a group of bakers who collectively showcase their latest creations of both savory and sweet treats. 0nce inside, the staff greets you and immediately see the display of baked goods and a cooler with other goods: kimochi, a different take on mochi. Coffee is also available. No Cash accepted. Epay only, No seating inside. 2 benches outside. I've always had everything boxed togo. So far , most of what I've tried were good and not overly sugary sweet. I like seeing new baked goods. Staff is nice and helpful, but I always insist whoever is serving me, to please wear gloves...I shouldn't have to ask. Best to visit early when they open as selections get limited. This bakery is conveniently 1 block away from Balboa Park and makes for a nice treat pre or post park walk. Recommend read more

Went down to San Diego and a friend took me to Michi Michi! We came by around 10:45 am on a Sunday and the line was decently long. It moved pretty quick though. We got a few different pastries including the bacon kimchi cheddar crazy bread (very good)! The fresh squeezed orange juice was also delicious. There's no inside seating but there are benches nearby - we also took ours to eat in the park, which was a great combination. read more

Mmmmm so I really wanted to like this place. Everything looks extremely aesthetic and appealing. HOWEVER, the line was extremelyyyyy long... The interior is super small and I think it makes it hard for faster service since it's so cramped along the glass display. I think the one thing that I am slightly disappointed in is the lack of savory options. While they had a focaccia veggie sandwich and an egg sandwich, everything else was sweet. While I understand they rotate out options, it was a little disappointing after seeing some savory options with prosciutto and such be posted on their insta. The pastries we did get were alright, but I think hard to love because of the long wait. I didn't try any of the drinks, so I can't speak on those. In general I think it may not be worth the wait, but hey I understand supporting local bakeries/businesses and that they're incredibly aesthetic - simply not my cup of tea unfortunately read more

Definitely a must try!! The line can get long on weekends so if you don't want to wait in line, show up early. It actually moved pretty fast for us though. It's a small shop, no seats inside but a few seats outside. People seem to usually come to buy and leave or go for a walk. No bathrooms, and parking can get tricky. They do not have a lot of drink options, they have a match that's unsweetened, a chai tea that was really refreshing, a cold brew and freshly squeezed Orange juice. There is a lot of selections with pastries! Both salty and sweet. I got the pistachio raspberry gelate (hopefully spelling that right) which was really yummy but the raspberry jam portion was a bit sweet and I would love a bit more of a better ratio of raspberry and pistachio. I also got the passion fruit cheesecake danish, which was yummy! I enjoyed it! So many other yummy things I wanted to try so I would be willing to go back again!!! read more

Been wanting to try this spot and so glad that I finally did! Came on a Thursday morning around 10am and there was almost no line with a large selection available. I ordered the following: - black sesame babka with meyer lemon glaze - passionfruit cheesecake danish - kimchi, bacon, cheddar cheese bread - poppyseed morning bun - honeycake chamomile cream with strawberries All of them were delicious and the first three were my favorite! Service was great and I would definitely come back again. There are a couple benches outside but no seating inside so it's more of a grab and go spot. Free street parking is available within a block or two. read more

I've seen this spot all over Instagram and finally got to try it. There was a line out the door but it went pretty quick. I ordered the Spam Musubi croissant which I loved but just wish it had been warm. My absolute favorite thing was the egg salad chili crunch sandwich! The bread was super fresh, the egg was fluffy and the chili crunch gave it a perfect spice. The Miso Caramel Matcha was unique and not very sweet. Some of the items seemed a bit pricey for what it was, but great chance to support local business. read more

Michi Michi was very high up on the list of things I wanted to try when visiting San Diego. My bestie and I shared a box, and I really think we were going to order ever single pastry they had! Out of this whole box, our faves were the Caramelized Onion and Gruyere Croissant and the Birria Croissant! Savory pastries have my heart, and they did absolutely amazing with each and every single one that we tried. I love how every week or month or so they change our the pastries they offer, which is a super cool concept! The place itself had a really nice vibe to it, and the service was super quick and very helpful with helping you decide on what to get! I definitely would go back. read more

Cute little bakery with a great variety of unique pastries! We came a little before 10 am on a Saturday and there wasn't too long of a line. Luckily found parking right in front. We waited around 20 mins to get to the front as the line did move pretty slow. We shared the pineapple monkey bread and guava cheese danish. Both were big and filling, flaky and nicely sweet! The danish had a good amount of guava taste and the monkey bread had pineapple pieces inside! Both pastries weren't warm or super fresh but service was friendly. There's no seating inside, only some tables and chairs outside. read more

I love Michi Michi! This might just be the best bakery in San Diego. The line can look intimidating, but it moves quickly--and it's always worth the wait. My go-tos are the caramel miso matcha, the egg salad sandwich, and honestly every single savory pastry. Everything here is creative, fresh, and absolutely delicious! There are small, outdoor tables and bicycle parking in front! read more

LONG lines and some of the most expensive pastries I've ever seen, but our croissant ($12) was unfortunately well worth it! We got the boku pandan supreme, and it was a spiral croissant packed with pandan pastry cream, young coconut, coconut gelee, and sago and topped with a coconut ganache. The white corn cookie was also well salted and the perfect texture. The chefs rotate, so I would probably only stop by if I was really curious about a certain chef's vision, or if I had a friend visiting from out of town. A special treat, but maybe a one-time visit for me. read more

Michi Michi is a 5/5 experience. Pastries that are like art, they are a collective so they have pastries from other bakers weekly that rotate in as well as their core pastries. You can feel the community aspect. One thing to note is that they are open Thursday-Sunday from 8am-2pm or sell out. There's always a line, it's a small shop, and parking is not great in this area so id recommend going early in the morning before the line starts getting long and to make sure you get a chance to buy the pastries you want before they sell out. read more

An unmarked corner suite in the Bankers Hill neighborhood has been turned into this new bakery. Michi Michi is open from 8 am to 2 pm on Thursday through Sunday. There was no signage to indicate the presence of this business so I drove past it while looking for parking. Metered curbside spots were available on Fourth or Fifth Ave. No inside seating existed so you had to take your order to go. Because it was near closing time during my visit, the daily inventory of items was limited. Various cookies, toast, and some refrigerated products were all that was left on display at the service counter. I chose a Peanut Butter + Grape Jam Bostock and a Red Berry Cheese Danish for my order. The bostock was a piece of stale brioche layered with a smear of peanut butter and grape jam. The thickness resembled that of french toast. The danish had raspberries and kiwi fruit as toppings. This bakery was actually a collective of vendors with one head pastry chef in charge. The worker (owner?) behind the counter was friendly and very helpful. There were a few beverages that could be purchased to wash down the baked goods. I would like to return at an earlier time of the day to see what else Michi Michi has to offer. For now, I rated the business with four stars. read more

Came around 11am on a Sunday with essentially no line until we realized all the really interesting pastries we were excited to try were already sold out. This area has a lot of street parking so if you circle the block, I'm sure you'll find something. 2 hrs of free parking on Sundays, btw! I really like the idea of a revolving menu at pastries and I love how the flavors here are Asian-inspired! With most of the savory pastries gone, we resorted to trying these 3 that looked the most promising to us -- a guava cream cheese danish, blueberry muffin scone, and a ham and cheese croissant. Unfortunately, they were mostly misses. Guava cream cheese danish (3/5): had so much potential but when we ate it, it was cold and not as buttery/airy as I'd like it to be. Maybe it would've been better if we took it home to air fry. Blueberry muffin scone (1/5): it was so dry that it was hard for me to swallow, definitely needed some water to be able to wash it down but flavor was there. Ham and cheese croissant (2/5): not the best that I've had and it was also dry as well. I should've brought it home to warm it up, maybe it would've been flakier. I've been to bakeries well past the opening time and I totally understand items selling out but this place doesn't seem to be as fresh as I thought as some of the items were both dry and stale. I wish they offered to warm it up for us. Customer service was also whatever. They weren't cold but they weren't welcoming either. This place has so much potential with its revolving menu and the flavors are so interesting that I'm gonna give it another try sometime. read more

One of my favorite bakeries in San Diego at the moment is Michi Michi. They are always coming up with unique pastries and I've only managed to snag 2 items here as I pass by during lunch hours and they're always sold out of their popular items. So far I've tried their Black Sesame Babka and Rose Chocolate Chip Cookie. Both are absolutely worth trying! The chocolate chip rose cookie was so indulgent and nutty and had a hollowed-out space in the middle. It was chewy and one of the best cookies I've ever had. Their pastries are so aesthetically pleasing to the eye and I'm still waiting until I can grab a savory pastry on my next visit. When I first visited, they weren't much matcha options, but they seem to have changed their choices. I'll certainly have more check ins here if I'm in the area and can hopefully snag more pastries from time to time! read more
