Bread and Cie
Bread and Cie is my favorite French bakery in San Diego and I like to stop by whenever I’m in the area for some treats. They also serve a breakfast and lunch menu, but I haven’t yet checked it out.
We recently paid a visit to Bread and Cie, and after browsing the various desserts, I chose a few to take home.
I got a chocolate macaron. No picture because I ate it in the car. I couldn’t resist. It was pretty big and tasty. The shell was chewy and not brittle like some places make it.
I also picked up a mini French baguette.
A slice of mango mousse cake
A small eclair. The small is still pretty big. I love the eclairs here. The cream and puff pastry are just right.
I also picked up a bag of assorted biscotti cookies. These weren’t like classic biscotti. The cookies were much crunchier and thinner. Still very enjoyable though and I liked that there was a variety of flavors in the bag.
Parking can be an issue in Hillcrest, but luckily Bread and Cie has its own parking lot for customers, and there is usually a space open. I’ve enjoyed all the desserts I try here, whether it be cake, cookies, croissants, cupcakes, etc.

Mango mousse cake! I was just looking at different recipes for that yesterday. My SIL’s b-day is coming up and I haven’t quite decided yet as to what kind of cake to bake her. But that cake is making me lean that way.
I can never resist mango mousse cakes. Your SIL is lucky to have you baking her a cake!
I LOVE how you don’t have a photo of the macaron because you ATE it in the CAR! Yes! I’m not the only one…
Haha. Yeah, my self control is pretty limited, especially with macarons and mochi. There is this place that makes fresh mochi and I can never wait until we get home to eat them. So we started buying two of everything so I could eat one in the car, and still have one left of each one to take a picture of for the blog.
