Con Pane Rustic Breads & Cafe

Must visit! I found them online and ordered for pick up and I must say this place is amazing for bread, pastries and coffees! The vibe is wonderful with lots of locals and friendly staff. We bought a bunch of pastries to try and they all were delicious, unique and fresh. The bread looked amazing as well. It’s located in this really cool area with local art shops and parks around it. Such a pretty place to start your day.

My favorite bakery and sandwich place in San Diego. Close proximity to the airport means that I try to stop by at the start and end of my trips! I've been visiting for many, many years. My favorite is the chocolate loaf and chocolate buns that is available on weekends. The loaf can be ordered whole or sliced. Half sandwiches are quite large, about the size of my hand! I really enjoy the home roasted tomatoes in the sandwiches. Sourdough is really good and chewy. All the baked goods and breads are very fresh! I recommend the cinnamon rolls. Nice outdoor area with umbrellas and tables to enjoy the sunshine, preferably with good food and company. Indoor seating is also available. Edit, Jan 2024: The cafe is now open 7 days under new management. Prices are a tad higher, but still fairly reasonable for a special brunch out. The chocolate boule is still available on weekends. I've tried both 3 piece bread samplers, with both sweet and savory toppings. I love fresh bread and these do not disappoint!

Love this place. Been coming here for over 9 yrs now. Since new owners prices have increased exponentially. My favorite are cinnamon rolls, awesome sandwiches, breads are good but the last owner did not sell everything. Think she kept the secret ingredient. I remember the cinnamon rolls tasting different --missing just a hint of chewy from all the bread ingredients. Even though I think the recipe is off, still love shopping here for all my baked goods.

My favorite feature is the "Chef's Whim" pastry item. Today's item was a pistachio & frangipani (passion fruit) croissant! I could enjoy it more if there wasn't green food coloring? It was soft in the middle and had a double-baked buttery crust. It was a wonderful place to enjoy fresh bread and learn about bread making. Their board explaining the various types of bread is clever. Order a salad if you want greens. It would be great to see a pinch of greens with vinaigrette on a sandwich plate, instead of half a plate empty. Bring a basket and go home with bread for the week!

This is a great spot for breakfast/lunch. There is a large selection of bread, sandwiches, pastries, cookies, and hot drinks. You can select which bread you would like for your sandwich. My go to is the turkey cobb sandwich on multigrain bread - the turkey cobb is an amazing sandwich! It has turkey, bacon, lettuce, blue cheese, avocado and roasted tomatoes (I order without tomatoes). I have enjoyed just about every pastry there such as the cinnamon rolls (eat it there warm), scones, and orange sugar bun. I tried the mixed berry danish during my last visit and loved it. The pastry was flakey and filled with a creme/custard and topped with berries. I would also highly recommend trying a hot butterscotch latte. It's wonderfully indulgent and the butterscotch flavor is outstanding. The restaurant has bathrooms onsite and plenty of indoor and outdoor seating. The outdoor patio is dog friendly. There is plenty of parking since this is located in Liberty Station. Be prepared for a wait - it's always been slow to order and slow to get your order but it's absolutely worth the wait. There is usually a separate, shorter line if you are just ordering bread. This place is with a trip if you are looking for good bread, sandwiches, pastries, and a butterscotch latte!
