Prager Brothers Artisan Breads

The country sourdough loaf is next level. It keeps well in the freezer too. Everything is made from scratch, old school style. Worth a stop!!

Serving maybe the best baguette I had outside of France which on every visit I enjoy as a ham and cheese sandwich. The other items I tried, such as chocolate croissants and other pastries, are good as well; but I really come for that sandwich. The only slight downside is that a while back they started slacking on putting out their seats and tables. They still do upon request, but some of the employees in a “How dare you ask!” manner.

After hearing rave reviews about Prager Brothers Artisan Breads, I finally decided to stop by their Hillcrest location—and I’m so glad I did! This charming bakery lives up to its stellar reputation, especially when it comes to their sourdough bread. The moment you step inside, you’re greeted by the mouthwatering aroma of freshly baked bread, and it’s impossible not to get excited about the variety of options on display.

The sourdough here is truly something special. It has the perfect balance of tangy flavor and a wonderfully chewy texture with a crust that’s crisp but not overly hard. We picked up a loaf of their classic sourdough as well as a multigrain option, and both were absolutely fantastic. Whether you’re eating it fresh, toasting it, or pairing it with your favorite spreads, you won’t be disappointed.

The staff at Prager Brothers is friendly and knowledgeable, making the experience even better. They’re happy to answer questions and offer recommendations, which is great if you’re overwhelmed by all the delicious choices. In addition to bread, they have an impressive selection of pastries, and their croissants are next on my list to try.

This place is definitely a new favorite, and I’ll be back regularly to stock up on their incredible baked goods. If you’re in Hillcrest and haven’t stopped by yet, don’t wait as long as I did—you’re missing out on some of the best bread in San Diego. Highly recommend!

Old product. If you get there before the morning delivery you will most likely get old products

I can only speak to the chocolate croissant because that’s the only thing I’ve tried so far but if the rest of their offerings are as good as this was, then I am sure they are fantastic as well. It might be the best one I’ve ever had.

So happy they have cardamom pastry but need to add more cardamom in it. That aroma when you open the bag is not there.

This place used to be so good. It's still fairly good, but wondering if they changed ownership or something. The croissants used to be among the best in SD. Now they're just average (based on a handful of recent visits, hoping it was just an aberration).

Website says open 8am-8pm on Thursdays but it is not. Closes at 4:30 all week long. Bakery attendant had doors locked at 4:25. Love the bread but don’t understand how working people are supposed to buy any lol
