50 Best Bakeries near Lemon Grove

“They have everything plus I also work at this Albertsons grocery store“

“Love their new location downtown. More space with the same high quality croissants and sourdough loaves. Chocolate croissant and olive pecan sourdough are my favorites.“

“I first met the owner when I just arrived in SD. I’ve been ordering cakes from her ever since because hers are both visually stunning and delicious. Finally, after the pandemic, her shop opened! She’s always stood out in the competitive dessert market through her commitment to high-quality ingredients, innovative fusion, and visual aesthetics, winning the hearts of many. I’ve seen some friends complain about the prices, but the taste is truly worth it—perfect for an occasional treat to satisfy your sweet tooth!

This time, I tried the caramel crepe cake and the Mango Pomelo Sago. Both were amazing, but I especially recommend the Mango Pomelo Sago—it’s seriously the best I’ve ever had, so good I can’t stop drinking it once I start 😍～

The shop is small but cozy, with a fresh, minimalist decor, ideal for a quiet chat or some solo relaxation. Just be sure to avoid peak weekend hours and reserve popular items in advance—otherwise, they might sell out if you come late!“

“My daughter loves to surprise me with a vegan goodie from here and it's most welcomed! For the past few Mother's Days we had their vegan breakfast box with 5 pastries and a baguette and it was such a treat. My favorite items are the vegan chocolate croissant and strawberry danish. I also loved their vegan pesto feta danish but I haven't seen it on the menu again, would be great if they brought it back. I often get the plain vegan croissants to make breakfast sandwiches but a few times it has had a sweet-ish glaze on top and I wish the plain was consistently savory.“

“Picked up adobo chicken, Shanghai lumpia, empanadas- all my Filipino favorites. Everything tasted so delicious, hot, and fresh. Thank you for cooking and making my day even better!!“

“Crack Bread is frigging Awesome Buy in Bulk“

“Outstanding Service. Good food Nice location“

“The cheesecakes here are so good. Super soft, moist, and fluffy! They’re slightly sweet, which is so addicting. I love the original flavor the most. The pandan one wasn’t that good.
The strawberry burnt basque cakes is also very good. It’s better than the original one.
Parking sucks though because the shop shares a small lot with many other stores, so it’s always difficult to find parking unless you come right when they open.“

“Best eggs benedict I've ever had. It's on a croissant instead of the classic dry English muffin. Homemade hollandaise sauce. Came with both perfectly crispy and seasoned potatoes and with a nice greens salad with a good vinaigrette. We beat the line but it was still a little backed up. Absolutely worth a wait. Shout out to Leon, Dove, Marques, and Manuel for working hard and being so polite during the rush.

Edit to add my husband's gingerbread apple French toast something or other was also to die for. Like, dang. Perfect balance of sweet and salty. Perfectly cooked. Could taste butter. Just phenomenal.“

“I had their products before and I was just impressed with them but I bought a mothers day cake i was blown away it was DELICIOUS moist plenty of flavor ( strawberries heart) I recommend it if you're looking a fantastic cake full of flavor a fantastic cake look no more Hans & Harry's is the place 😋“

“Perfection! I love that minis are an option, you can enjoy a treat but not have to stick with one flavor. The staff at this location are top notch. They are all laughing and having fun with each other, while I waited for my order I saw probably 8 people come in and they welcomed every single person. Then as I picked up my order, they kindly surprised me with the original pink icing cookie so I could experience it. 10/10, will absolutely come again!“

“My mom was visiting San Diego with my neither and brought home a box. This backlava is delicious!!!! El Paso, TX approved!!!“

“Audrey was the best! We came from Maine and short notice we were able to get a dozen cupcakes ordered for pickup with 2 days notice. They were fantastic and gone quickly!! Thank you again!!“

“the mochi shop is located inside one of the stores in a small strip mall area. maybe unassuming from the outside, but the display of the variety of mochi that this shop offers shines through the display case. there was less variety when I came in during mid afternoon time. while I am one who loves the red and white bean paste mochi offerings, the store also offers a good variety of flavored, fruity, and even cheesecake mochi. the lady helping me out told me that most of the mochi options are vegan except for the butter mochi, cheesecake mochi, and milky mochis. I love that she got excited about me asking about whether the red bean pace was tsubuan (chunky) or koshian (smooth). for reference, it seems that the red bean paste mochis use chunky paste, while the white bean paste mochis are smooth paste. my friend and I and my partner loved the mochi we ate. I used to frequent by Osaka-ya in Sacramento for mochi before moving to San Diego, so I’m very happy that this store is here. I'll definitely come back here for more!

(also, I called in previously to ask if they offered sakura mochi for girls day. they do, but I didn't have the time to swing by!)“

“Love great cookies!“

“The cookies are hit or miss most of the time. However, the staff here is always ( well almost) so friendly and kind. I don’t visit as much as I’d like because it’s cost prohibitive. And well id most likely gain too much weight if I enjoyed these more often.“

“Suspiros Cakes Chula Vista CA are delicious!!! Go in person to check out their many incredible flavors. The staff is incredibly friendly (English and Spanish speaking) and takes the time to find you your perfect cake. I ordered the carrot cake and choco crema/pinguino cakes for my wedding-- all the guests raved about how good they were! It is great that some flavors are offered in 1/4 or 1/2 sheets. Gracias a Suspiros Cakes Chula Vista CA!“

“I’ve been coming to Paris Baguette since the day they opened through good days, bad days, sad days, and happy ones. Whether it’s a busy morning or a quiet afternoon, one thing has never changed: I’m always treated like a guest in someone’s home. That kind of warmth and consistency is rare, and it means more than words can express.

What makes it even more special is how effortless they make it seem though I know from experience It takes excellent training, genuine care, and a strong team to create that kind of experience day after day.

From the from-scratch kitchen to the stunning pastry displays, everything is crafted with attention to detail and pride. The presentation is beautiful, the quality is consistent, and even something as simple as a cup of coffee feels elevated. For those moments you're there, no matter what life has thrown at you, everything else fades away. It’s not just a bakery or a café—it’s a small escape.“

“I love good, freshly baked bread and we have been looking all over San Diego to find it. Secret Sisters has the best country loaf yet and we highly recommend it!!!!!!!!! For us, it's a bit of a drive but worth it.“

“everything I’ve tried so far has been delicious.

got the salt & pepper tofu bento for lunch at medium spice level — it was delicious & had a good kick.

tried several of the milk breads & pastries - love the classic cream, matcha, and the spicy curry roll.

also got a strawberry matcha drink that was delicious but a little bit too sweet.

can be a little chaotic sometimes as they’re still setting things up, but a nice spot to have in the neighborhood & very friendly owners.

Vegetarian options: Salt and Pepper Tofu“

“The cake I ordered for my husband's birthday was just what I wanted and it was delicious!“

“One of my favorites! The breads are the BEST!“

“Sooooo good!!!!! I am trying “mostly” vegan this year so this was such a find! We got pastries for my sister’s birthday. She has lots of food sensitivities and can’t eat dairy. The PERFECT birthday treat! VERY friendly and helpful staff!“

“Most of the employees here are amazing, friendly/kind. I’m giving 5 stars all across because of them, there’s only one employee though who consistently does a poor job in all these above. Please see the pic attached of my breakfast sandwich from yesterday morning made by Alicia (I won’t buy here again when she’s working, consistently the same bad service with her), and no she wasn’t busy. I as the only person there ordering food at the time, no one else waiting. My only item ordered was burned and to top it off salty as well.“

“We are there every chance we get to pick up cupcakes or cookies. There are very few places that are so careful about allergies and the staff is always super helpful. For anyone going in for the first time, they don't allow outside food to prevent any cross contamination which we really appreciate.“

“Picked up adobo chicken, Shanghai lumpia, empanadas- all my Filipino favorites. Everything tasted so delicious, hot, and fresh. Thank you for cooking and making my day even better!!“

“Passed by here plenty of times because of the japanese market next door. Stopped in by chance just to grab some coffee and wound up buying a slice of cake. Turns out this place is a hidden gem. Handmade cake and great espresso drinks for a much better value than you get for similar quality. A slice of handmade cake here is the same price as a cookie at panera, think about that for a second. They earned a regular customer whenever I stop by for groceries“

“Be back fo sho. Delicious“

“The staff in this location is always so helpful, kind, and attentive to myself, as well as, my two kiddos. They encourage them and answer all their Bundt related questions, and they never hesitate to do it all with a smile. So thankful for their kindness to my family.“

“Justice and Aliyanna are so sweet and helpful! They're perfect for Nothing Bundt Cakes. They showed us everything the store has to offer and were so kind the entire time. We'll definitely be back - if not for the cakes, it'll be for their great card collection!“

“Finally we got to visit and see what this bakery offers. Oftentimes, when we want to swing by its already closed by 5pm. Its a small bakery that offers similar breads from what you see at 85' only this one feels more homey than mass produced.
Today was specifically looking for mocha cake. However, i found coffee cake so that should be similar. Am also trying the strawberry cake. Wanted to try some cookies next time. No more pork floss during our visit at 4:30pm. But they still have couple of meat pies.“

“So its my boyfriends birthday and he wanted to share some bundt cakes with friends. We get here not knowing they were about to close and we felt terrible 😭 but libby s. Was super nice and said it was fine as well as her coworker( sorry didn't catch a name) ahhh I feel even worse now 😭😭🥺 I'm sorry!“

“Peanut butter brownie bites! Sampled at the Encinitas Rotary wine and food festival. Beautiful display and the best brownie bites and cupcakes I’ve ever eaten; beyond delicious.“

“I love pan dulce, and this bakery has been my favorite. I recently started coming to this bakery, owners have been at this location for over decades and known for the best Michoacan traditional pan dulce. Its heart warming to be able to eat traditional pan dulce from where my father originated from. Cakes also made here for any special occasions, I guarantee its worth the visit.“

“The only thing sweeter than the products is the character of the staff. 💕🌸💕“

“Fabulous foods and goodies. Love this place.“

“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!“

“Very popular spot good food minus the onions“

“Mejor pan dulce en San Diego!“

“Every time we visit San Diego this place is must stop!! Pan dulce is so soft and fresh we need one on Los Angeles 😎“

“Ordered a custom cake, great flavor!“

“I genuinely enjoyed my first experience here. I got an almond and raspberry croissant that was absolute perfection. I got an iced americano that was pretty good but the shots seem slightly over extracted or the coffee is a little darker than I'm used to. This didn't take away from how lovely the experience was, however. I still enjoyed the drink and pastry. Im a long time home baker and a professional barista so I can't lie that I'm picky.

The service was lovely! Other people mentioned service can be rough here but I didn't have that experience. I also work in customer service so I know how people can take exhaustion as rudeness. I think it's a lovely place to visit! This place met expectations and I would return.“

“I have been coming to this location for more than 5 years and the service is always top notch. I moved out of state and came back to visit and took my sister here.

The staff are amazing and helpful. My sister is diagnosed with an IDD and the staff treat her so amazingly. Stephanie was our server this time and she went above and beyond with us. It is always an inclusive experience dining at this location.“

“Lovely decor with outdoor seating. The Avocado Toast was delicious 😋“

“THE BEST BANANA BREAD I’VE EVER TASTED!!!If you’re a bread lover like me, I SERIOUSLY recommend this shop! He was so sweet and patient! He even took time out of his day to answer questions and help pick out a delicious banana bread!He claimed I would be back tomorrow and guess what?? I will be!!“

“the mazapan cupcakes ate to die for. my boyfriend is all abiut them. ive ordered the mazapan drip cake 2x from her. and the strawberry 4 leches ooomgg must try. i always regret not placing an order in advance but if i did i would gain 3x more this quarantine! sams attention to detail is amazing. and shes super sweet also!“

“We had the absolute pleasure of working with Fab Cakes in San Diego for our wedding on May 2nd, 2025, and we cannot say enough great things! From our first consultation to the final delivery, the entire experience was seamless, professional, and so enjoyable.

Let’s talk about the cake—it was breathtaking. Truly a work of art. Every detail was executed to perfection, from every intricate detail to the elegant design that matched our theme flawlessly. Guests couldn't stop talking about how beautiful and detailed it was—and yes, it tasted just as amazing as it looked!

The communication throughout the process was top-notch. The team at Fab Cakes was responsive, accommodating, and genuinely excited to bring our vision to life. They made us feel heard and taken care of every step of the way.

We are beyond grateful for the love and artistry Fab Cakes put into making our special day unforgettable. If you're looking for a cake that will wow your guests and a team that delivers exceptional service, Fab Cakes is it!

Thank you,
Justin & Angel P.“

“Food is delicious with great affordable prices. Definitely worth the drive.“

“Found this locally owned bakery when I was driving by and so happy I did! I’ve been back a few times since and every time right when you walk in the smell of sweet bread in the atmosphere is so delightful!

Personally, tried their dessert, pastries, rolls, and loaves. All are incredible.

The bread and pastries are incredible! Typically make my own bread and pastries at home because I have such a high bar, and this bakery out shines my perfect perfectionism! The bread is incredibly moist and delicious.

Highly recommend you stop by!“

“I ordered 150 variety of mini pastries for a church event. Everyone enjoyed them and loved the professional designs and attention to detail. Everything tasted amazing and looked beautiful! I'll be back! Thank you!“
