49 Best Bakeries near Imperial Beach

“First time at this location in IB - Wanted to work for a bit and enjoy a good space, coffee and scenery, stopped by. Sebastian was working and was very helpful in helping me decide what drink to try.Picked up a Midnight Vietnamese (hot) + a empanada (bacon and egg) both were delicious! I love the functional lattes. Their drinks aren't loaded with sugar and a bunch of bad stuff!!“

“Unfortunately I don't have any pictures to share but trust me, the presentation is as good as the flavor of her product. I was gifted a large variety of cup cakes for my birthday and I have to say that they are by far the best cupcakes I've ever had. I often sample cupcakes and Debbie's are perfectly sweetened, fluffy and light but have enough weight and volume; they aren't gut bombers nor do you get that sick feeling after eating too much sugar. The coconut cupcakes were my favorite.We had to go back and sample the cookies. We tried the chocolate chip, almond-coconut, oreo chocolate chip and of course had to grab brownie.My husband was the judge and he loved them all.No need to go to Crumble anymore, we have a great local shop to support with quality baked goods!!“

“This is The best coffee I've ever had. I've been drinking coffee for years and can be a little bit of coffee snob sometimes. The moment I tasted their "Daily Rations" on my tongue, I could easily say that is The Finest cold brew I've had. It's very aromatic and exudes a strong bourbon smell, also very smooth and gentle on your tongue with a little creamy texture. The barista there also let me try other flavors, and each all tasted so good in its own way. I will definitely come back for their cold brew again“

“Beautiful, beautiful space and the kindest staff! I dropped in here to grab a drink before heading out at the train station, perfect pick me up before traveling + they shared some adorable little chocolates with me on the go! Thank you all “

“I had not been for over two years. And boy has this place grown for the good of the community. Although the shop looks very different and larger, it still has a familiar feel. The quality of the service and desserts is spot on. The only recommendation to improve the experience is the quality of the coffee . Either sell good coffee or don't include it in your shop.“

“Server very nice. Ordered our coffee first. Came out in different times. Forgot one of our customers coffee and came out after our dishes came out. Toast Benedict had great flavor and wish it came with two like the original Benedict. The waffle and chicken with mole had good flavor. Next time I would go with that. Chilaquiles looked soggy. Did not try it though but was said to be good from my cousin. Hot americano was too sweet I asked for two pumps but not sure if the server remembered. The chairs though are not comfortable. I assume so you won't stay long. My cousin ordered the vanilla latte with almond milk and that was really good. Not too sweet at all.“

“This cute little mochi shop is family owned and is a little gem in heart of Chula Vista. The freshly made mochi is light and fluffy, melt-in- your-mouth tender and have a generous variety of delicate and delicious flavors! All that is offered with friendly and polite service, you cannot go wrong. Enjoy!“

“Very good Cuban desserts, excellent service! They are better than those at Porto's! Buy even to take to Los Angeles, very pleasant atmosphere. The coffee was magnificent! Very good service and very fast!Excellent service great food, Bought some pastries to take all the way to Los Angeles. The owners were very welcoming and very friendly, had my order In a very timely fashion. Super warm and fresh, way better than Porto's. Would definitely and most definitely will be coming back!“

“Beautiful ambience. I had a light roast pour over. It was yummy but too small to satisfy my coffee need for the morning so had to get another! They have incredible looking pastries - none of which I could eat bc none are gluten free. But look heavenly“

“My first time to crumbl , I received a box of 4 for my birthday so had to visit the store and see what other choices was there I was in heaven , the staff was friendly and very professional at their job all were hard at work to make yummy for my tummy cookies I'll definitely be back 5 Star ⭐️ for my local “

“I have been following their Instagram page and finally stopped by for their holiday pet dinner that consisted of the following items: -Jelly turkey-cran berry cake or jelly pumpkin cake -Baked yam -Mashed potatoes with peanut butter gravy -Veggies -Bone-shaped cookies -Pumpkin empanada It smelled so good that I wanted to eat it for myself! My dog was so excited to take a bite of his dinner. He really enjoyed the jelly cake the most! I will be returning to buy a cake when it's my dog's birthday. Prices are reasonable. Definitely take the time to splurge on your furry friend when you get the chance!“

“The attention of the owner is so important that we are very satisfied with the service and the attention of all the staff who work, they are so kind that my wife and I are very pleased, our son goes without saying, I highly recommend the pastry shop, congratulations on your business and great prosperity“

“This is one of our favorite spots in Little Italy. Everything from the quiche, sandwiches, croissants, muffins is delicious and fresh. The lattes never disappoint. The service is always excellent with friendly and helpful staff. Audrey is the owner and she always acknowledges us with a friendly welcome. I highly recommend this cafe.Dietary restrictions: Frost Me offers a ton of GF options and everything is delicious.“

“I discovered Mya’s cookies at the Cardiff Farmers Market. I had the chocolate chip walnut, my sons each had a chocolate chip. WOW!! These are not ordinary cookies, they are extraordinary and so delicious!! I will certainly get more next weekend and plan to order by the dozen for special occasions.“

“3/16/2024 - Came on the ferry from San DiegoAnd came across this hidden gem ? by accident ! We all got some delicious food !The Turkey and cheese bacon croissant ? was delicious! Definitely recommend this one.We also got a chocolate ? and cookie croissant ? ( also was great ) almond butter croissant ? ( definitely have this ) Dirty chai latte was creamy and sweet.Hands down try this place !They also have ice cream ? and macaroons!Thank me later !“

“The Spanish rolls from here are a take back to a bakery I frequent in Hawaii. Delicious ?.They have malasadas as well, famous in Hawaii although not the same quality but it still good to have a taste of home ??. Hope yall enjoy the good prices and good vibez.“

“The service was kind and thoughtful. The cafe was an absolute delight. It made me feel like I was back at a local cafe in Europe. Lattes were delicious. My husbands chocolate croissant looked amazing but it was unfortunately hard as a rock. ? one woman was making all lattes and orders so it took some time to receive the craft items. Worth the wait on the beverages!Would go again but maybe skip the croissant ??“

“This is an amazing hole-in-the-wall Cafe. It's run by mom and pop with amazing and tasty pastries. I'm a big fan of their empanadas. They come in beef and chicken. Soooooo yummy and flavorful! The kind lady that runs this Cafe is so so sweet and so welcoming. I've only went twice so far because I was craving empanadas and the place I usually go to ran out, and the kind lady remembered me from just meeting me once. She's so sweet. And everything else is just as amazing. So instead of the other place I usually went to, I'm only going here from now on!!!“

“French food is one of my favorites. This location has some of the best coffee and dishes to choose from. Our service was perfect. We arrived at opening and were warmly welcome to a table of our choosing. Starting the day in an atmosphere so calming and pleasant was want anyone should do. Definitely recommend stopping by for a meal here!“

“Marvelous, yes, they are! The muffins are delectably delicious. We stopped in just after opening and there were only 4 varieties available that early. Not to worry - the pumpkin and the blueberry were both warm from the oven, perfectly spiced, and unforgettably tasty. I'd stop back by here anytime for a nice morning bit of YUM.“

“We came for the first time in 2015, eclair was very delicious. My sister and I decided to have breakfast at Partfait yesterday. Egg benedict was a little salty but delicious. It was lighter and more delicious when made with a croissant. My favorite this time was Nutella Cruffin. If you like Nutella, you should definitely try it. Of course, I will go again at the first opportunity.“

“This was EXTRAORDINARY!!! I got the Gianduia cake and it was absolutely divine! I had high expectations about this place after hearing about it for months and it did not disappoint. The presentation for all the desserts was exquisite and the taste was even better. The gianduia cake is a layered cake with hazelnut cream, rum, toffee, etc. I was worried the rum would be overpowering but you actually can't taste the rum at all. The chocolate mousse was so rich and creamy. All the layers were delicious. It was expensive ($13) but my friend and I each ate half and it was just the right amount and the price is 100% worth it. If you're a chocolate lover you have to try this cake!“

“A must visit Italian Store in San Diego, with a variety of Italian sauces, a range of fine wines and alcohol drinks. They have ice cream corner, a deli sandwiches and Italian food as well. The store is clean and is worth your time and money. Love this store.If are looking for a Vegan Chocolate then, this is your store, love it ??“

“I couldn't find Rosca bread anywhere right before the day of the Three Wise Men. I found this place in the evening just driving around looking for a bakery in the area. There was plenty of parking along the street when I arrived. Upon entering, the bakery had a wonderful fresh baked smell. Also, I noticed the establishment was clean and well maintained. It looked like it was a family operation. Customer services was great! They greeted me and quickly got me what I wanted: Rosca. I'll be back for more bread soon. Bu the way, the bread was crazy good. I recommend it.“

“Valerio's Bake Shop dishes out some of the MOST SOFT and delicious Filipino breads. Located in National City in a little strip mall. Parking can be hectic at times as there are many eateries in the same strip mall. Prices are very reasonable (especially for freshly baked breads) and customer service is good. Either walk-in or order in advance for pick up. We ordered: Cheese rolls - delish soft bread with cream cheese inside and butter with dusting of fine sugar on top. Cinnamon Ensaymada - I would compare to a miniature cinnamon roll. Not too intense with cinnamon flavor with a light airy slightly sweetened cream cheese frosting with a dust of cinnamon. DELISH! If in the area and you want a bakery that has amazing soft bread, sweet or savory...give this spot a try. Your welcome in advance!“

“Visiting my hometown of Imperial Beach always provides an opportunity to reminisce with old favorite eateries and find new ones. Panaderia Gonzalez is a hidden gem. It's not too hard to find, but it is in a strip mall. I went early in the morning to get fresh pan dulce and I was not disappointed. There's quite a variety and there was my favorite - puercos !If you are a local, consider yourself lucky to have such an excellent panaderia you can frequent for fresh pan dulce - deliscioso!!!“

“The food is delicious, but beware of the line during rush hour! I wish they wouldn't let people work on their computers during the lunch rush, especially if they take up a whole table to themselves as people were pretty much fighting to find seats.I can't recommend the sandos enough, especially with the side salad and fries!“

“What can i say. Panchitas has always been the go to place for fresh pan dulce and their doughnuts are even better. Prices on some items are on the high end like for example the rectangular pastelitos and birotes with cheese and jalapeño. Other than that i think is fair“

“I had the greatest experience ordering from Leandra. I let her know I didn’t want any super bright yellows since it was Winnie the Pooh and then I also sent her inspo pics but made sure to tell her to use her own creativity and free range of freedom on them. She made sure to use pastel colors and even incorporated my son’s name into the cookies. They were a huge hit at the baby shower I even made sure to save one just for keeps since they are also individually wrapped. It was super obvious how much time and effort she spends on her work. Definitely would recommend to any friend for any event. Thank you again for making such cute cookies for my shower ?(ps: they taste amazing as well, I definitely ate a couple myself lol)“

“I found a picture of the cake I liked on Pinterest and Sweet Revenge Bakery made it perfectly. The cake (which was the funfetti flavor) was so good, moist and not too sweet. I would definitely recommend this place to all my family and friends.“

“I can't say enough NICE THINGS about these amazing people! I was having a really bad day, but they brightened it up with their friendly attitude & great, helpful service. Super clean dining room & bathroom! Looks & feels like a local coffee shop should! 10/10!!!“

“Take-out review 2/24 Had the chance to try their yummy desserts at a family dinner. The cheesecake was SOOO good! Light, fluffy, slightly sweet (as most Asian desserts are). Priced around $19, which is actually reasonable compared to most dessert/pie/cake equivalents. Japanese desserts feel light, so even after a hearty meal, you still want it! Also tried the matcha tiramisu. Sorry no photo. It was gone before I could snap a photo. This was a bit pricey at $14 for a small round. Considering the price of matcha though, the price really is warranted. Strong slightly bitter matcha flavor. Lucious creamy filling. Not overly sweet. It was a bit out of the way for them to pick up. However, who else but family is worth it? Right?“

“La Moreliana Bakery offers a delightful experience with their incredibly delicious and fresh bread selections. The aroma alone draws you in, and the taste does not disappoint. The variety of choices available is impressive, catering to different preferences and cravings.One of the standout features is the bakery's commitment to offering great prices without compromising on quality. You'll find that your money goes a long way here, allowing you to indulge in their delectable treats without breaking the bank.The only drawback I encountered was the parking situation, which proved to be a bit challenging. Finding a suitable parking spot can be quite the task, especially during peak hours. However, the inconvenience of parking is overshadowed by the exceptional bakery offerings.In summary, La Moreliana Bakery is a haven for bread enthusiasts. With their fantastic assortment of fresh bread, wallet-friendly prices, and an array of options to choose from, it's a must-visit for anyone with a love for baked goods. Just be prepared for a potential parking adventure!“

“WOW! I ordered 31 dozen cookies for client gifts for work, and Stacy was so easy to work with! This was a big order, so I did reach out a few months in advance as I know she is always booked (and understandably as her talent with cookies is through the roof good!) She was so professional, and gave me constant updates, checking in to see what might work best for delivery, etc. She even went out of her way to help package them differently for ones being shipped vs. ones that were being hand delivered. Each company logo I saw I just gasped, they are so well-done and Stacy has such a steady hand and I have no idea how she gets the fonts so perfect - she is a stellar rockstar!!! Beyond the beautiful look of the cookies, they are DELICIOUS! Wow! Such a buttery sugar cookie was sink your teeth into delicious. You can tell she is mindful of her recipe, as the delicious meringue royal icing is sweet and crunchy, and pairs perfectly with the buttery cookie base that is less sweet - combining to make a delicious bite! (Can you tell I enjoyed them, haha!) Thank you so much Stacy, for helping us deliver a sweet holiday treat with a personal touch.“

“In town for a conference and stopped here for breakfast. It’s a gem! Great service, music and vibe. Had the breakfast croissant with avocado and cheddar- so delicious! They also made me an earl grey latte exactly how I like it. Great start to the day!“

“This place used to be Gloria's Bakery, but now it is "Haciendita Mexican Bakery."" I stopped in to pick up a few Mexican sweet breads to take home. I purchased a couple of elote pasta at $1.09 each and a biscuit for $1.09 as well.Each of the breads were good. After warming, the elote pans were very moist and tasty. The biscuit was not as soft as I would have liked, after warming, but it tasted good and went well with a blue berry preserve. I do recommend that they cove the fronts of the shelves with plastic sheets to discourage flies. They also offer warm bolillos rellenos with a variety of savory eats, not to mention drip coffee as well. The baker is small inside, so it can get a little challenging on busy mornings.“

“of all the filipino pandesal in san diego we have tasted, this is my family's favorite. been goin to this bakery over 15 years. the price has increased throughout the years but the taste is still the same. i haven't tried all their products but the ube pandesal, puto, spanish bread and karioka are exceptionally tasty.“

“This establishment makes “TORTAS” all day long. Aside from that they make exquisite traditional Mexican bread. You have to try it to believe. Please don’t take the last chocolate conchita, I buy in the morning, and sometimes they ran low on my favorite bread.“

“Cupcakes here are pretty damn tasty! Better get yourself and extra one if you're buying for an event, 'cause you're gonna wish you did. Love the holiday theme inspired flavors and decorations they come up with throughout the calendar year. Staff is friendly and helpful and Renato is THE MAN!“

“Vanessa’s cupcakes are so delicious hands down! Her cupcakes are so moist my family and friends loved them! Her creative and unique cupcake designs met my expectations and more! If you’re looking for a tasty treat and beautiful design for you next special celebration make sure to book her she won’t disappoint!“

“I had to work late, until 4 am and I was craving some fresh warm bread. Every place I looked up did not open until at least 5 am, La Nueva opens at 3 am! It did not disappoint, I got the picadillo pastry, the bollos with ham and cheese, bean and cheese, and some delicious hot tamales. My only regret is that I did not get any of their burritos! But I definitely will next time!“

“My little brother and I adore this place for their delicious cookies,sandwiches,drinks,and desserts! We've been eating here since 2019 The owners are very friendly and attentive. They always have cute paper gifts w treats for the holidays.The store is small but cozy :) and the prices are good for the quality you get. Support small businesses“

“My dad and I tried this place. Great customer service! We told them that it was our first time as they have a lot of choices on their menu. My dad and I shared the dinuguan and fried crispy salmon. The taste of the food was great. We bought other items too like kutsinta, polvoron, chicharon, turons, and taho. All of them were good as well. Will have to come back and taste their other food! FYI...the place is small so they might run out of tables and chairs if you were planning to eat there during their busy times.“

“This a traditional neighborhood Mexican bakery. Empanadas, conos with creme, cookies, pan dulces, and all kinds of wonderful treats. Went there with my work crew today and everyone was was so stoked walking out. Huge smiles and tasty treats. People behind the counter are so nice and sweet. Prices are super cheap, especially for the quality. My kids love these treats!“

“Oh My God, OK , SERIOUSLY- This is my dream come true. I hadn't even ever let myself fantasize this mouth watering mind blowing....I have to eat in silence to completely and fully capture each and every aspect of the entire savory experience, and make sure I remember the incredible party in my mouth, no joke....so phenomenal. I never thought to put these together, but at one time or another I've been completely and ridiculously fascinated by each of them separately and visited locations daily for 92day non stop streak Jamba and 31day Cinnabon....totally normal, right?!! Lol ? ?“

“Was in the area and was craving some lumpia. First time actually getting food from here as I ordered 25 pieces of the Lumpia Shanghai and a dozen chicken empanadas. The establishment was relatively small but had a few tables and chairs to eat at inside. Service was welcoming and friendly. I had to wait about ten minutes for the lumpia as they cooked it fresh for me. Lumpia always hits the spot. The empanadas are typically dry but ok for me. I'll definitely return to try other options.“

“Great food- good people! HONEST PINOYS! We came to buy sisig. We ordered 2 large cups. The server said "we don't have enough for 2 large, just one large and one small". My husband and I looked at each other - the situation is so familiar @Porky's Lechon! We waited in suspense... To our amazement- it was one large and small! No overcharging! We went to Porky's Lechon 1 1/2 years ago and bought sisig. The owner charged for a large cup when the content is just enough for a medium! Way to go KABABAYAN! Great food good people!“
