LuckyBolt Kitchen + Bakery

Wow! Found this place on a quick search as I needed to wait for a friend and decided to grab a quick bite for breakfast. The bacon breakfast sandwich is WINNING here! Service was quick and friendly, and food was ready in minutes. Everything in this sandwich was well prepared, fresh, and filling. The bread was very fresh and perfectly grilled/toasted. Tomato and arugula were fresh and tasty. Now, the main event of this is obviously the bacon, egg, and melted cheese (on both sides). I enjoyed every bite and was very satisfied. I will be back, and told my friend who lives very close she must give this place a try.

Obsessed with the selection of pastries!!! I had only tried their ham croissants but I would love to come back and try the different quiches. Service was lovely. I told the cashier that it was my first time and she recommended me a variety of options depending on my likings and mood. It's also next to Zumbar Coffee so you can kill two birds one stone by buying extremely good pastries here then stopping by high quality coffee.

I love coming here! I have been here twice and both times enjoyed it. Both times I had been riding my bike for a long ride. Both times I got a pastry; the first time I got a lemon pastry and it was absolutely divine: creamy and delicious. The next time I stopped in, I got a ham pastry, it was also tasty and I loved the layers in the pastry. Perfection! I greatly appreciate the helpful friendly staff! Last time I was in the gal offered to fill my water bottle when she saw me walk in and look for a filling station. Kindness matters. I'll certainly be back here!

So I thought the quality of the food was nice, but they did not heat up our quiche which made it taste really block-like. Additionally, the service could've been more prompt and accommodating. The place is simple, but I didn't think it was superb

The Wookie Cookie is a good enough reason to visit Luckybolt. It's a perfectly moist oat bar with gooey chocolate and creamy peanut butter that also happens to be gluten free. All the baked good look delicious and the ingredients taste fresh. Can't wait to try more items!

I had a good breakfast sandwich from this kitchen and bakery in Sorrento Valley. The breakfast sammy comes with locally pastured raised scrambled eggs, tomatoes, cheddar cheese, caramelized onions, arugula, aioli, and bacon. You can have on your choice of bread. I went with cracked whole wheat for $13.50. They put a great toast on the bread. It was crunchy and very tasty. I thought the scrambled eggs were okay. They were not made to order but were of the pre-made variety in trays and cut into rectangular portions. The sandwich would be better served with made to order eggs. The caramelized onions were delicious, and so was the aioli. It was a good breakfast sandwich. I also had some black iced tea, which was very good. The young lady who took my order was very nice and friendly. I ate inside the place on the high table along the window. They also have a few tables outside on the sidewalk.

Average and not necessarily unique in flavor, technique, or style. Subtlety of any flavors out of the norm were simply too light to detect. Came here as part of a set of bakery reviews I was planning on doing. Shop is small and unassuming, at a good juncture right off of a very popular bike trail and the highway. The place wasn't very busy on this very random, early weekend morning. Ham & Cheese Croissant - good initial flake. Layers are acceptably separated. Good flavor. Well filled with contents and spices. Savory and hearty. Chocolate Croissant - clear traditional construction with good, distinct layers. Clearly based on standard croissant dough as flavor leans more towards buttery. Chocolate is just a tad strong, causing a difficult juxtaposition to the dough. Monkey Bread - needs a bit more flavor per cluster but remains consumable. Few raisins - could use many more per serving. Good flavor and construction overall, but otherwise standard. Cinnamon Roll - flavor profile is far too light and often feels absent. Tastes just like coiled, laminated dough with a sprinkling of sugar. Not satisfying for a French cinnamon roll.

this is a small shop right by the highway with a lot of parking and seats outside of the bakery! i wish the baked goods were a little warmer but overall good and flakey! the staff are super nice and there are also free samples of the sourdough!

The baked goods are out of this world delicious and the rest of the menu has fresh and wholesome farm to table ingredients. If you want to enjoy every bite, go there and dig in. You'll make it one of your regular meal options.

I have been here in years.... Now that im working close by again, it was nice to visit some old lunch places. So glad they are still here!!!! I had sandwiches in the past and they were good. I wanted something light since it's holiday party time... :) thank you for being there!

Excellent pastries!! My husband picked up breakfast from this bakery everyday while we stayed in La Jolla. Their breakfast burrito and hot sauce is great. Loved their orange cinnamon rosemary morning bun and their almond croissant the best, but all of their pastries are great! Staff was welcoming and so kind!! Highly recommend!!

Luckybolt has been offering baked goods for the last year or two, to my knowledge, and this is some of the best bread in the county... If not the best. I believe the baker has some kind of ties to Wayfarer bread in Birdrock - as in worked there once - and this bread is crusty, dark brown, sourdough levain, and quite similar to wonderful Wayfarer but still unique to Luckybolt. Unbelievably good toasted or for sandwiches, the crumb is not too fine or cakey, but not too airy either. Only available in sourdough white. Eat it fresh the first day or so and be sure to slice up and freeze the rest in a ziploc for sandwiches and toast anytime you want. ...but wait - let me tell you about the BAGELS. Available only on Sunday morning from 8 AM on, these are the best bagels in San Diego county. Honestly, nothing even comes close and I've had them all. (Some of my bagel credentials trace back to making my own -- the full-on water-boil and malt etc tradition -- and visits to NYC, Jersey, and Montreal, where of course, they consider their bagels the best. LuckyBolt bagels are very crusty, chewy, absolutely perfect when toasted and then schmeared with some of their house mix chive cream cheese. At four dollars per bagel they'd better be good!!! But I gladly pay it and it sure as hell hurts to flip out a $20 bill for five bagels but... I gladly pay it. Don't buy all the jalapeño cheddar variety before I get there each Sunday or there will be trouble. I hate to even post this review because they only seem to make a few dozen TOTAL includIng plain and "Everything" so demand is growing week by week.

Got a breakfast burrito and the croissant. The croissant was decent, a little doughy for my taste. The burrito was extremely over salted that I had to throw it in the trash. The place is definitely too pricy for the small portions that you get. In the inside dining counter feel sticky and need to be cleaned.

Came around 11:30AM on a Sunday and they were low on pastries, as to be expected. Staff were super nice and helpful. We ended up getting a blueberry bagel with strawberry cream cheese. There was a great crust to the bagel. Probably the best bagel I've had. There were samples of the sourdough bread and my son couldn't stop eating it. Will definitely come back whenever I'm in the area.

This bakery is such a hidden gem! Their bread is to die for. I toast it or use it for sandwiches. Absolutely amazing. I've also had their croissants, cinnamon rolls, and breakfast burritos. Everything is delicious and their service is top notch. Highly recommend.

Very nice bakery that also serves simple savory eats. Limited seating, next to Zumbar. Great bread. Perhaps has the most flavorful veggie chilli that I have had in a long time. Not loaded with soy, heavy in beans and veggies. Highly recommend. Found their pastries to be a bit on the sweeter side, but this is a matter of personal taste.

Wow. Tried Lucky ally today and Met Chris. An amazing experience. The croissant that I had this morning reminded me of ones I had in Paris. - KUDOS. Am picky about baked goods and Chris did not disappoint. Will definitely be back often.

Great bread and pastries, one of the best bakeries in town! Love their sourdough and various croissants.

Our family gets the sourdough loaf here almost every weekend. It's soooo delicious! Crispy on the outside and super soft and spongy on the inside. It's incredible! We eat it plain, with sandwiches, make avocado toast, whatever you want! The bread makes everything taste top notch!

Best croissant ever and I have been searching actively for it. The service is great last time we went close to closing time and they made us a French press coffee because their coffee was cold. Love their food and attitude.

I come here often for the hippie veggie sandwich, breakfast sando, and Greek salad. They also sell the most delicious pastry I have ever had in my life - the Kouign Amann. On top of having amazing food, they are also great caterers! I organized a small company event a few months ago and the owner, Kris, was super responsive, punctual, and easy to work with. My coworkers loved the parfait and egg bites. Also, big shout-out to Lilly at the register! She always makes my day with her friendly and positive attitude.

Really delicious, fresh and unique pastries. Also the coffee place next door is good.

Ordered a salad Togo it was fresh, flavorful, filling. Perfect for a quick lunch on the go Cute little place, easy on the eyes and not overwhelming.

The service at LuckyBolt was friendly and kind. They were very nice helping us choose a Hippie sandwich and a Breakfast Burrito. The sandwich was packed with veggies in a delicious focaccia square. The burrito was excellent on very fresh warm tortilla, eggs cheese and nice crunchy hashbrown potatoes. It's a cute shop nestled near the coaster station. A perfect pause for your trip up the coast in the morning! Definitely worth a repeat trip!

Apparently, the bakery here will not be ready until October 2023. So, the only chocolate goodie that I could buy was a brownie. Brownie was small and cost around $5. There was a taste of espresso in this dark chocolate brownie which was wonderful. I would probably up the rating if there were more baked goods and larger portions. Even for San Diego, that brownie was quite small (size of 2 large bites or 4 small bites) for $5.

Everything hit different. They had samples of the most moist sourdough bread, and the food came out even better! Great ambiance and A1 service.

While working in San Diego area, I stopped in today for an iced tea. I tried the "Kouign-Amman (pronounced 'queen-a-mahn", a delicious pastry that's made similar to croissants but with a yummy layer of sugar. It was delicious! Buttery flaky, just the right amount of sweetness from the sugar, and a beautiful caramelization on top! Highly recommend!!

Last week I ordered several items from LuckyBolt for home delivery. All of them were good, but the Tofu of Destiny and the local kombucha in "Dragon Slayer" flavor were both exceptional. The tofu was the perfect blend of firm and soft, with a sort of miso-sesame-chile tasting marinade that was heavenly. The kombucha, as advertised, did not have a strong vinegar taste and wasn't too sweet, so I really enjoyed drinking it. (Normally I don't like kombucha.) The gluten-free biscuits had a very nice, dense yet flaky-crumbly texture and the local eggs and "Bowl of Goodness" were very good also. I also love that they source from local farmers. I plan to order again this week and look forward to trying more items!

bread is very good also, she's incredibly nice have a good day today I need to make this 85 characters

I love Luckybolt I got their vegan bowl for lunch and it was delicious and an almond croissant for the hubs who loved it. We've eaten there multiple times and never been disappointed and also gifted their prepared meals for friends . I highly recommend Luckybolt for lunch, pastries, and prepared meals. You can't go wrong

Chicken Salad sandwich with local chicken was excellent . The chicken was in delicate pieces and not mushed together. The pickled onions, and the spread they used help nail it . The bread was absolutely divine. Omg, so soft with a perfect crumb. I'll go back for more. Love the gluten-free options for my littles. Savory and sweet. Looking forward to trying the "bowl of goodness" and the brownie! Super friendly, chill vibe. Definitely good clean fresh food without sacrificing an ounce of yum.

Simply the best, fresh, locally sourced prepared foods in the SD area. We order the dinners a few times a month. With two little kids, I love not having to think about prepping dinner--AND I love knowing it is fresh and healthy! The newly running bakery is just an amazing addition! They have a perfectly crafted sourdough and a great savory bakery option. My kids love the monkey bread type pastry --and the breakfast burrito is a hit as well! Thank You Luckybolt :)

Healthy menu, prompt friendly service, good food. Many options from burritos, sandwiches, salads, a la cart items, and specials- Made to order while you wait. Also a great selection of baked goodies that look amazing! Small seating area along window and some tables outside. Parking lot is small and spaces are limited sharing with other establishments. Sparkling water flavors, water, and water on the counter available. Great place!

Hi quality and tasty. My favorite dinner food in San Diego. Wish I could get their food more often but dinner is only available on Tuesday's. Gotta be quick to order for the Tuesday specials cause they always sell out. If you live close by you can get delivery. Owners and employees seem passionate and to love their work.

LuckyBolt is a lunch delivery company catered to office spaces and focuses on making it convenient for workers to eat on time, maintain a healthy lunch diet while also supporting local, sustainable farms. What is great about Lucky Bolt is that they send an email around 7am every business day with a list of meals, ranging from Thai, Korean, Vietnamese food and so forth. Get your orders in online, and they will have your food delivered between 11:30am-12:30pm. By experience, LuckyBolt has always delivered food on time for our company, tried and true. They also use paper packaging for the meals, doing their part in eliminating plastic waste, reducing carbon footprint and making our Earth happy! Because the prices are slightly higher than what I am comfortable paying for, such as $8.65 for a smoothie or $9.65 for a Tomato Soup and 1/2 Grilled Cheese Sandwich, I prefer to bring my own lunch to work. On days that I am really swamped, our company will order from LuckyBolt for us. The meals are very healthy using fresh ingredients. Most recently my teammate had bought me a: - Rainbow Veggie Noodle Bowl ($10.65): made from fresh carrot, zucchini, and bell pepper noodles tossed with sesame seeds, green onions, and cilantro. Topped with marinated grilled San Diego Soy Dairy tofu and avocado whip. Spicy Thai peanut dressing on the side. The avocado whip was very creamy and did not turn brown even when I stored the leftovers in the fridge overnight. Overall, LuckyBolt is a very healthy and convenient lunch delivery option for businesses. Though a bit pricey, I would say they definitely bring convenience and healthy meal options to workers.

In this time of cooking alllll the time, I really appreciate a break from the kitchen. LuckyBolt makes the food I wish I made, and the food I feel great about feeding to my family. Curbside pickup is an awesome option, but the home delivery is a real winner in my book! Each week, there's a menu full of prepared foods, bakery items, pantry staples, and more. I usually order enough food to last us a couple of days. Food sourcing is top quality - we're talking local pastured chicken, produce from J.R. Organics, heirloom beans, house-made focaccia, and more. The staff is super friendly and the delivery is prompt. They take lots of safety precautions so you can feel secure in their operations. Seriously, do yourself a favor and step away from your kitchen - order LuckyBolt instead!

My employer started working with LuckyBolt late last year and it has made life so so much easier. As a new mom who sometimes just doesn't have time to pack a healthy lunch, I truly appreciate that I have healthy fresh options to choose from daily- sourced from reputable local restaurants with a good deal of choices in the menu everyday. They deliver good quality food consistently and are always on time. Some of the restaurants I personally prefer are Rubicon Deli, The Kebab Shop , PrepKitchen .... A few I don't care for much but that could just be a personal preference. Their customer service is excellent- prompt and courteous. I have requested for alterations to my order like omitting tomatoes or substituting a condiment and they have always done so. On one occasion, I placed the order on their recent SMS service while not making the cut off time to order. When I wrote to them inquiring about my "missing lunch" they were extremely prompt in looking into what went wrong and very kindly offered to bring out a lunch rather than have me go hungry. I had already hit the vending machine in a hypoglycemic haze but I truly appreciated the gesture on their behalf. Also, for every dollar spent you earn a point and you earn a free lunch every $100 points. This was the old system and apparently they are upgrading to something new that's in the works. Two thumbs up but I do wish there was a way to add reviews regarding the menu items and provide recommendations regarding other local restaurants.

Amazingly fresh farm to table food and the service was extraordinary! Chris was extremely friendly & attentive. We'll be back!

I have a love-hate relationship with LuckyBolt. I love the convenience of this service and their healthy meal options. They have amazing customer service -- they are quick to respond whenever I have questions or issues with my meals. What I haven't loved so much are the issues I've had with my meals lately. Within two weeks I had two issues: 1) I ordered a meal with tofu yet was sent a meal with chicken. Being plant-based, this was a major problem as I wasn't able to eat my order. The funny thing was that the label on the container said "tofu." Thankfully, LuckyBolt was quick to respond to my email to them regarding this and were willing to send me a refund. 2) Simply, there was a hair in my food. A straight, black piece of hair. *sigh* I didn't notify them about this one because, honestly, I had to run to a meeting and didn't want to deal with it at the moment. I've used this service for a while and have had a mostly good experience, but I don't know if they will be my go-to as often these days.

The avocado toast is great. It has a little bit of spice to it which sets it apart from some of the other avocado toast options around San Diego

We had the eggplant shakshuka for dinner tonight and loved it. It was a new take on shakshuka (to us anyway). It was perfectly spiced and delicious. The overall concept of Luckybolt is great as well. They source ingredients from local farms and sell their tasty creations (weekly meal, salads, soups, hand pies, etc) plus other options (like kombucha, eggs, etc) on their website. I like that they rotate their menu based on what's in season and available.

Service was great, environment is neat and clean, but we did not enjoy the food. I got the chicken and brie sandwich. My toasted bread was drenched in grease, and it made the entire experience unbearable. We also got a vegetarian breakfast burrito because it was recommended to us, but it really did not taste good and left us with an upset stomach for the rest of the day. The idea of this place is great, and the healthy ingredients seem to be wonderful too, but the way the food is prepared (with the amount of grease and spread) is not healthy or appetizing.

I have to pay the ultimate compliment to LuckyBolt, so here it is... it's like Kristopher Schlesser opened this business just for me...yes, li'l ol' me... figuratively speaking, of course. There ain't nothin' little about me or my appetite or my desire to satiate my foodie sensibilities even if, like everyone else, I am constrained by the geography of an office job. Yes, I get tired of the nearest Mixt Greens, Specialties, Harvest & Rowe or whatever packaged, overpriced salad and/or sandwich I seem destined to have as a result of lazy habits and limited time. Even the availability of the wonderful bún riêu at Soup Junkies can't get my machine cranking because I simply want more variety to my palate. Enter LuckyBolt which Schlesser has ingeniously conceived as a way for us office workers to gain access to over thirty restaurants outside of the reasonable radius of my office without breaking a sweat. Total elapsed time is about five minutes to pick it up...seriously. All you do is sign up with your email address and cell phone number, add a credit card, and place an order from their daily menu. Generally, Luckybolt provides selections from two to three of the restaurants the evening before, including several vegan, vegetarian and gluten-free options. You need to place your order by 10AM or earlier if it's a popular item since they can sell out as word spreads. Then one of their "bike runners" shows up at 11:30AM on the southeast corner of Market and Beale with his or her impressive German-made insulated storage units (see photo). Between 11:30AM and 1PM, you pick up your order. Because you paid online and can even tip online through their Good Karma menu button, you don't even have to take out your wallet. It's that simple. I've tried it twice quite successfully. First, I ordered the $9 Vegan Tamale Pot Pie from Mission Pie, quite savory delicious and more flaky crust than a flake like me deserves (see photo). The second time, I tried the $12.50 Pozole Rojo from Nopalito, which came in two parts. Inside a cardboard box were the tortilla chips, onions, ancho chile flakes, oregano, and shredded cabbage. The rich red soup filled with cubes of tender pork shoulder and hominy was poured into a sturdy plastic container. Taped on top were very specific instructions on how to assemble the dish (see photo), and the result was a spicy, savory delight that now allows me a sneak preview of what an actual visit to Nopalito would be like (see photo). And just remember, it took me all of five minutes to retrieve it. I can tell I'm on an addiction track because I just ordered my lunch for tomorrow. I'm getting the $8.98 Sometimes I'm a Vegetarian Sandwich from Ike's Place, which I know will be great since I was an early patron of the vastly popular Ike. There are plans to add another pick-up location at California and Kearny, and apparently sixteen other locations under consideration. I'm sure there are other out-of-the-way restaurants that could greatly benefit from this type of exposure. Yesterday I just happen to be at 1058 Hoagies, where they create massive hoagies that are the bomb, but sadly, they are only open during the lunch hours on weekdays in SoMa. How great would it be to add them to this service. FOOD - 5 stars...not only for the variety every day but for the top-notch quality of the take-out food AMBIANCE - n/a...not really relevant, is it? SERVICE - 5 stars...always punctual, hardly ever a line, and they text you if they're running late TOTAL - 5 stars...brilliant idea that frankly overshadows the lure of food trucks for me

I visited this place last Wednesday and wouldn't bother coming again. I wanted something quick in the morning before work. The lady at the front was nice and I ordered a sandwich at 8:56AM. She asked if I wanted it warmed which would only take a few minutes. Ten minutes later she apologized and said it was just placed in the oven to warm and I was late for work. The sandwich was also almost $9 and I ended up not getting it warmed because I was late for work. It was a decent sandwich and a nice cute bakery, but I probably won't be coming back because of the prices.

I love luckybolt and am so happy they are delivering during the lockdown (coronavirus menu is much more limited than normal, though.) I've always enjoyed the healthy options and how you can customize a lot of the dishes to your preference. Everything is healthy and made from scratch - lots of veggies in most of the dishes. They will do catering/prepared meals for holidays as well. Well worth the price since it's quality food and I don't have to make it OR clean up the mess in the kitchen LOL Sometimes things that seem expensive, like their bag of granola to go... but then I compare it to my granola from spouts and the lucky bolt granola is def many times more delicious LOL so then I'm happy!

So happy I stumbled across this gem. Great food options that are nutritious and tasty. The customer service is wonderful as well. I look forward to trying their meal service.

I use Lucky Bolt probably twice a month. The entrees that I have ordered are exceptional. This week I had their pasta primavera dish (meat eaters had the choice of bolognese). The pasta was fresh, how often do you come upon fresh pasta, and the grilled veggies were incredible. It may well have been one of the best meals I've had in a long time....along with fresh bread and macaroons. They have a variety of offerings each week but only one main entree. I highly recommend Lucky Bolt. You can have your meal delivered or pick up and save delivery charges.

I've eaten at or gotten take out from LuckyBolt numerous times, and it's clear how much effort and love the staff puts into their work. Each dish is thoughtfully designed, ingredients are sourced from local and sustainable producers, and the results always deliver. On top of making great food, the leadership and staff have always been kind and helpful. A real gem for San Diego!

LUCKYBOLT Delivery- They are one of two lunch delivery services that our company uses. I have to say hands down the nicest folks and best customer service you will experience. I HATE HATE HATE mayo more than anything in the world. Sadly most places put it or a form of it on almost everything. Im constantly emailing these folks asking to make sure there is no sorts of mayo or aioli on the items im ordering. They have always made sure my order is correct. Today was the rare occasion were my food wasn't correct (not their fault, Rubicons in this case), now most companies would have said sorry and moved about their business. Not Luckybolt, they brought me over the correct sandwich and did it with a smile on their faces. Customer for life based on just the customer service aspect. Food- Luckybolt isn't just a delivery service but they have their own menu you can order from. Everything is made fresh and for health conscious folks like myself everything they have is delicious and healthy for you. Big fan of the way they cook their steaks and meat in the dishes. All in all the food is fantastic and the customer service is some of the best ive ever seen. Great company and even better people. Thanks LB.
