  Generous matching—and in some cases, completely free coverage.

• 🎯 Prizes 
  Occasionally awarded for throwing things in the air and catching them with your mouth.

• ☕ Employee Discounts
  Enjoy café food, drinks, and pastries for less.

  Unique benefits and incentives tailored to your position.

Where You Could Fit In

Bread & Cie is both a bustling café and a full-scale wholesale bakery — which means there’s more than one way to rise with us.

🍳 Café Crew: Front and Center

Be part of the team that brings the Bread & Cie experience to life.

• Serve guests and share our fresh-baked goods with a smile

• Brew coffee, plate pastries, and keep the vibe warm and welcoming

• Work with a team that turns “busy mornings” into “good mornings”

🥖 Wholesale Bakery: Behind the Scenes

This is where the magic (and flour) really flies.

• Mix, shape, and bake artisan breads and pastries

• Pack and deliver fresh loaves across San Diego

• Keep production running smoothly while the city sleeps

🥪 Bistro Kitchen: Made to Order

Where café favorites are born and lunch rush legends are made.

💛 Every Role Matters

From bakers and drivers to sandwich-makers and sales reps, everyone here helps keep the ovens warm, the deliveries rolling, and San Diego smelling amazing.

Reasons to work at Bread & Cie.

1. Can’t sleep anyway so might as well do something constructive in the middle of the night.
2. To help make and serve food that actually nurtures people.
3. The place smells like fresh bread and cookies 24/7. No candle can compete.
4. We’re family-run, not corporate—so you’ll know everyone from the baker to the boss.
5. You’ll learn real skills you can use anywhere in the world (and impress friends forever).
6. To be proud of what you are doing.
7. To discover the secrets of artisan bread & pastry baking.
8. To work alongside some of the best bakers in the state (and the most sarcastic).
9. To join a fun, fast-paced, never-boring tribe of people who really care.
10. To use some French words (like ‘couch’ — the cloth that bread rises on) and know what they mean and not be  embarrassed.
11. To make something real with my hands- and delicious.

🏃‍♂️Reasons to run away screaming:

1. Don’t want to work at a place with a weird name. What is a “Cie.” anyway?
2. Thought we bake ‘doe’ (as in Bambi), not dough.
3. Just saw one of the horror films owner Charles directed.
4. Can’t take the pressure of receiving a free loaf of bread and/or pastries every day.
5. Decided to take the offer to become the head of NATO instead.
6. Prefer to pay for my own vacation days, thank you very much.
7. Don’t want to collude with any European Russian Rye bread.
