    So flakey! So fluffy! So crunchy! The perfect pastries! I wish i could have this every morning it was so good! I had the goat cheese croissaunt and the strawverry mochisant. Both were fantastic and i would definitely order again! Glad i stumbled across this amazing bakery! And to top it off, the service was nice and friendly! 5 stars!

    Suite front

    This downtown corner suite used to be the longtime home of a chain sandwich shop. With roots from the Bay Area, Rolling Out Cafe is the new business that has taken over the space. If you can't find a nearby curbside spot, then perhaps park across the street within the structure at Ralphs and walk over. Some tables were placed outside on the sidewalk for seating, however the inside was only large enough to order and take your food to go. On the awning were the words "Home of Mochissant." It's the signature product and was made up of laminated layers of mochi and pastry dough to form a croissant. I arrived late in the day so the choices of baked goods were not as plentiful as during the morning. Several types were on display behind the plastic shield at the service counter. Menu boards were posted high above listing other offerings such as breakfast and lunch sandwiches, pot pies, and coffee. Three Mochissant flavors were available... plain, chocolate, and strawberry. I chose the last one for my order along with a Mango & Sticky Rice Kouign-Amann which was also a laminated pastry. The Mochissant was slightly chewy compared to a traditional croissant, but that was the point of including mochi into the mix. A strawberry slice was included inside the product. I loved the mango and sticky rice combination in the second item which was sweet but not cloying. The worker who assisted me looked like the owner as he was running the shop all by himself while I was there. The prices were reasonable given the quality of the products. If downtown parking wasn't so challenging, then I would return more frequently to try other stuff like the egg tarts, cinnamon rolls, and Hawaiian sticky rolls. My experience at Rolling Out Cafe was an easy four star rating.

    I really love everything I tried there, but mango sticky rice danish is my favorite. There is no seat inside so be prepared to just get to-go. The owner is very friendly and helpful. Will go again and try more if I can

    Ham and cheese croissant

    The ham and cheese croissant was our fav (see pic for center). The Mango sticky rice kouign aman was so delicious, krispy edges and great flavor. The texture of the strawberry and blueberry mochissants were also great (I wish they were a tad sweeter for me). Service was friendly and quick and prices were fair and didn't break the bank! Street parking and there are a few tables outside with umbrellas. I'll have to go back for the ube tarts which were sold out when we got there mid morning on a weekend. Clean shop and they have grab and go drinks and coffee too.

    A bakery that became popular in SF has migrated to SD! The cafe itself is no frills but the pastries speak for themselves. They are all fresh made and reasonably priced. Super flaky and buttery but my favorite was the coffee mochisant. Such a unique concept of combining mochi textures in a croissant. I loved that none of the pastries were too sweet. Great for the Asian palette and you can tell people are noticing it too because I believe they are still operating through their soft opening and it was quite busy!

    Came here while walking the dogs, and decided to get the mochi strawberry croissant, and it was the perfect mix of the flakiness of a croissant and the squishiness of mochi 11/10. It was also just the right amount of sweetness. But for the size, it was a bit over priced. I expected it to be bigger. Though the food tasted amazing, I removed a star because the place is a bit messy and needs a decor revamp. I know they just opened within the last 2 months, so I'm sure they're still figuring out some things, but the ambiance needs some work. I would love to come back to try out their mango pastry.

    Black sesame croissant, chocolate croissant, Ube egg tart, mango sticky rice kouign amann, ham and cheese croissant
    Vivi V.

    One of my friends who lives downtown recommended this bakery, and I was drawn in by the Asian menu and reasonable prices, so I took the first opportunity I got to try it. I am so glad I did! I was so pleasantly surprised by the large variety of items which is impressive for soft opening. I had a hard time deciding and picked a large variety of items to try. Favorites: -mango sticky rice kouign amann: we loved the sweet and tart mango flavor and the actual pieces of glutinous rice in it. -chocolate and strawberry mochissants: the mochi stuffing inside makes sense and provides enough texture difference between the crispy buttery croissant which makes for a pleasant experience -black sesame croissant: there is so much black sesame filling in it and the croissant is so buttery and tasty -ham and cheese croissant: I thought it had a good amount of ham and love that the ham and cheese are baked into the croissant rather than stuffed after baking Needs improvement: Ube egg tart tasted like a plain egg tart. Overall, everything looks sweet, but actually they're not too sweet at all and are perfect for Asian palate. That's the best Asian compliment that not too sweet-- meaning you can enjoy the underlying natural flavors. Can't wait to go back and get more pastries! What an amazing bakery to come to San Diego

    Came here on Thanksgiving morning to try new Asian-inspired pastries combining mochi with flaky, buttery croissant layers, recently relocated from SF. I think their specialty is the mango sticky rice kouign amann so made sure to get that but their other offerings were so tempting (and reasonably priced) that I couldn't resist! Overall, I love the combinations of textures and how the pastries are not too sweet :) Parking is limited since it's in Downtown San Diego. Chairs and tables are plentiful outside.

    This place just relocated from the Bay Area and we heard about it from a friend. It's located in downtown on the corner of 1st and G street. There's only street parking and there's no indoor seating. It's just a pick up and go bakery. The staff was very friendly and answered all our questions. We got there around 10am on Saturday and half of the baked goods were already gone. We bought almost one of everything and pretty much loved almost all of them. Compared to other Asian inspired bakeries nearby, these baked goods are far superior in taste and quality. The croissant is flaky, buttery, with plenty of filling. The mochissaint actually has a mochi center! The kouign amann had a mild mango flavor with actually bits of sticky rice in it. The ham and cheese croissant could use a bit more ham and cheese though. For the price, we definitely recommend this bakery!

    Strawberry mochissant
    Mateo D.

    Phenomenal. Super creative, extremely flavorful, and perfectly executed. The Hawaiian sticky roll was soft, gooey, and addictive. Further, the mochissant, a mochi + croissant hybrid, mine being strawberry is a genius idea. It's trademarked but this absolutely needs to be available everywhere. Crunchy on the outside/crust and then you get the chewy interior. This place is legit. Service was friendly and immediately welcomed me in.

    Wow ! What a great find! We are visiting San Diego and are staying in downtown. As we head out to LA day trip today, we drove by and saw a sign for mocha croissant and mango sticky rice croissant, Portugese egg tarts. We pulled over right away! We were greeted by a very friendly guy dressed in a muscle tee and an apron! We could tell this is the master mind and the one baking all these wonderful treats! We had the Portugese egg tarts, mango sticky rice croissant, and the apple lychee croissant. They were THE ABSOLUTE BEST thing I've ever had! The croissants were perfectly flaky and soft inside with a sweet crispy on the outside. The flavors are very unique and Asian inspired. Let's say we finished it in 15 min and wanting more already! We will be be sure to bring some back to share with family at home!

    This bakery has recently rolled into downtown San Diego. I came in for some croissants but they were already out of the ones I wanted so I settled for a slice of zucchini and corn quiche for $7. I found the corn inside the quiche to be interesting but it worked. Both the zucchini and corn were abundant in the quiche and tasty. My favorite part of the quiche was the pastry crust. It had that great texture and flavor. The egg portion was well seasoned and baked. They offer a variety of pastries and baked goods, including a mix of croissants, cinnamon rolls, sausage rolls, sticky rolls, biscuits, and much more. They also offer breakfast sandwiches. There is some outside seating, but none inside as of yet. The service was welcoming and friendly.

    hawaiian roll, black sesame croissant, strawberry mochisant, and mochi biscuit
    Emily D.

    Rolling Out Cafe is a hole in the wall bakery that offers unique pastries, such as their signature mochi croissant. I tried an assortment of items including their mochi biscuit, strawberry mochisant, hawaiian roll, and black sesame croissant. My favorites were the mochi biscuit and mochisant. The mochi gave the pastries more chewiness, and I found them to be less dry than typical biscuits and croissants. I got there around 1 pm on a weekend. While there was no line, they were out of many items already, so I recommend coming earlier. The gentleman who helped us with our order was very kind in walking us through the items available. Im already planning my next visit to check out their mango and sticky rice kouign amann and ube tart! :)

It's a great option if you want some fresh air or if the indoor seating is full. Parking can get a bit tight during peak hours, so don't forget to check the back lot for additional parking.

There's lots of seating for anyone who wants to hangout with friends or study. So awesome to see that they serve Nami (aashleyk's matcha brand). I ordered a chicken empanada, pan de elote, & an iced matcha cloud (less sweet & oat milk). Everything was absolutely DELISH. I'm pretty picky about my matcha, especially when it's in an Einspanner form. I loved the contrast between the sweet/salty cloud and the matcha itself! This place has their ratios down perfectly. Can't wait to come back (probably tomorrow)! 11/10.

I love the habanero bagel, it's one of my favorites, but just be warned it is very hot. Definitely don't eat it without something cold to drink. They also have a breakfast sandwich called the San Diego which is a favorite of several people I know. You chose the bagel you want it with and they add fried eggs, bacon, cheese and aioli. I highly reccomend it. I've not had a lot of their deinis, but i did order the cinna-bee which has honey, cinnamon, espresso and milk. I thought it was good and would order it again. Definitely check them out and try some of their bagels, or perhaps one of their sandwiches.
