Olive Baking Company in San Diego is an absolute gem. We loved it so much that we went twice in just four days because everything we tried was amazing. The kolache is a must try, every flavor is delicious but the sausage, egg, cheese, and jalapeño one stole the show. And ABSOLUTELY don't miss the cinnamon roll... It is soft, perfectly sweet, and full of flavor.

Their organic coffee pairs perfectly with the fresh pastries and breakfast items. Sitting right off the beach, it is the perfect place to start your morning with ocean air and a great cup of coffee.

The vibe is relaxed, the staff is friendly, and the food is top notch. Olive Baking Company is now one of our favorite San Diego spots and we cannot wait to go back.

We enjoyed a latte from their espresso machine and a fresh cinnamon roll warm from the oven. Both were excellent, other pastries in the counter looked very tasty as well. We took our order to go.

The cutest cafe ever!! This is seriously one of my favorite spots to go to in SD. They have incredible kolaches (think: Hawaiian sweet bread filled with egg/cream cheese/etc) that they heat up for you, and all kinds of flavored coffees. The vibe is amazing and there’s a Labrador that looks down over the fence as you sip your coffee! And the beach is one block away.

I really wanted to love this place, but the chocolate muffin was dry and the cinnamon roll (which we bought the moment they opened) was not baked fresh. I was expecting a warm, soft cinnamon roll since we were the first people in the door. It was clearly day-old and dry. The croissants were fabulous though. When I go back, it will be for a kolache and a loaf of sourdough instead.

Cute little stop on your way to or from the beach to grab a pastry, sandwich bread or coffee! We got a variety of things that were pretty tasty and still kept well for the next day. Coffee isnt anything crazy but gets the job done well, same went for the cinnamon rolls we got. Would definitely be back, the sourdough bread we got made the best sandwiches!

The sticky buns and cinnamon rolls are amazing but the coffee is just OK. Service was quite slow.

Best cinnamon rolls in Mission or Pacific Beach. Come for the cinnamon rolls but don't sleep on the kolaches. This has become a daily walk and preferred treat with my little. Grab a dog treat on your way out the door and give it to the cutest nosey neighbor, Clara.

What a perfect place to grab a coffee and kolache for breakfast! Even if the line looks long, it MOVES so don't give up. Homemade cinnamon rolls and muffins add to the reasons to stop in!
