History of Bread & Cie

The first artisan bread bakery in San Diego, Bread & Cie. Bakery & Café opened in December, 1994 in the eclectic Hillcrest neighborhood of San Diego. Nationally recognized, Bread & Cie. continues to be the leading baker of hand-formed, European-style artisan breads and pastries in the San Diego area, baking daily for over one hundred and fifty of the county’s top dining and shopping venues.

In addition to our own bakery café, Bread & Cie. also wholesales our bread and pastries to restaurants, selected markets, caterers and hotels as well as a couple of caterers who live in a hotel.
