Artisanal French bakery offering breads, pastries, sandwiches & breakfast

























"Make a stop at the beloved bakery-café in Hillcrest for satisfying soup and sandwich combination plates. The soup of the day changes frequently, so be sure to call ahead to know the day’s selection. Past offerings like the curry lentil, Manhattan clam chowder, and French onion have been top sellers, along with seasonal favorites like pumpkin bisque and green pozole during the holidays. The creamy tomato soup comes in a cup, bowl, or quart to go, making it an ideal side for a grilled cheese sandwich made with Fontina cheese and Parmesan-laced sourdough. All soups come with a slice of housemade French baguette and are available in combination plates with half a sandwich." - Roxana Becerril

"A staple in homes and restaurants across San Diego, Bread & Cie sweets range from French macarons and croissants to Italian biscotti.
