We have been going to Bread et Cie for over 10 years and have been recommending it to everyone we meet all over the U.S. and Canada.

I went to this place because of the reviews on TA and ended up liking it so much, went there again a day later. It was pretty busy both times (lunch), but the staff was so welcoming and friendly, I really got a great vibe from the place. The bread is excellent! You can sit indoors, sit at a counter... more

With mother and siblings all in the greater San Diego area, I always go to Bread & Cie. for either a fine sandwich or a breakfast of 3 different hunks of bread and butter and a cappucino. I always try to make sure I am in town on either a Wednesday or a Saturday when they make their Walnut/Scallion bread!!... more
