I really liked this place located at Liberty Station I had avocado toast which was done well, with marinated vegetables, tomatoes, & sliced thin radishes. I asked for a very thin slice of bread, which they accommodated. Most of the sandwiches which I saw had super thick bread slices --about 3"which, imo is not the proper way to make a sandwich, but it's cost effective----looks big on the plate but filling is small. Busy at lunch on a Saturday, but quality food! read more

My favorite sandwich to this day is here. The con pane Cobb is a masterpiece. I love the contrast with the thick yeasty sourdough and the slightly sweet acidic roasted tomatoes. The avocado and blue cheese adds a creamy layer that I absolutely enjoy every time. Of course their other items are really quality as well but every time I'm back in San Diego I go back just for this bite of heaven. It's almost always busy so early or late lunch is probably a better option if you don't want to wait in line. They are always efficient and on top of things so I personally think it's worth the wait. I love that they have outdoor seating as well, it's the perfect lunch for a good weather day read more

We stopped in on a busy Saturday morning for some breakfast. Since the line was so long, we decided to order online and wait outside in the beautiful weather. Our orders were ready around the time they said they would be, with the exception of them forgetting one of my main items, the avocado toast. The delay/forgetting was quite unfortunate but the manager was very apologetic about it, comped the avocado toast, and refunded my tip since she felt they didn't deserve a tip for the subpar service. Now onto the food - it couldn't have been more delicious. The avocado toast was piled high with delicious topping and the underlying sourdough was so good. The egg and bacon danish was probably the most surprisingly delightful pastry I've had in a very long time. I really loved the food and would certainly come back again, although I would order ahead of time at busy times or come at off times in the future. read more

I think this place has some really good friends with us. We went at around 1:00 p.m. on Sunday and nearly everything was sold out! The pastry case was also empty. Walked away with ciabata and a seeded multigrain loaf and also a Dutch Crunch. Everything was lovely but top favorite was the Dutch crunch! We ate it just plain sitting in the car. Perfect amount of sweet and it's light crunchy topping - highly recommended! read more

As good as I remembered. This time I got a goat cheese and peach focaccia, which was very pretty -- almost too pretty to eat, the flavors were great as well. I also got an egg and bacon breakfast sandwich which was also very yum and sexy looking (see pics). We carried these on board a boat charter and it was a vibe staring out at sea and also eating. Butterscotch coffee was also a great pick me up. Service was nice and friendly and fast! Got our order in under 20minutes. Can't wait for the next time! read more

The space is cute and clean, and there was a line when we got there but it moved quickly. Our cashier Anna was so sweet and helpful. She guided me to try the hazelnut twist over the almond croissant bc the almond croissant does not have almond paste in it. I asked if the organic coffee was also mold free (iykyk) and she could not confirm but said it was good so I got a black drip coffee as well. I got a bread bowl bc I'm only in town for a couple hours, and I got a slice of sourdough with jam and butter. They also sell dog biscuits and beer/wine so if you want to have a little euro moment you can. My drip coffee, slice of bread, small loaf, and hazelnut twist with tip (she was so nice) was nearly $30. That is the positives, minus the price. I was really shocked by what unfolded. These items that were already baked took 20 minutes to prepare. Twenty. Including the drip coffee. I asked the server if she could check on my order after 15 minutes of waiting, and she told me they get a lot of large online orders and they prioritize those and that's probably why my order is delayed. (...?????) So with this extra time, I'm showing them my receipt so they can see what I ordered. That's when I realize they charged me $1.25 for butter. Butter. To go with the bread. Extra charge. I also saw that they charged me a "5% supplemental fee" coming to $1.18. Small numbers, but what on earth?? So I asked about these charges and they said you only get one side with the bread and the second side is à la carte, ok annoying but I get it. The cashier should have told me. The second supplemental fee the manager-esque person told me that it was there to keep the business going, but that she could remove it. To keep the business going?? That's why you set prices, not add on a percentage fee. And if it can be removed so easily, why not remove it for everyone else?? Absolutely insane. Had to leave for work, so I did not receive a refund. I get to the car and look in the bag and MY EXTRA A AL CARTE BUTTER IS NOT THERE. They charged me extra for a side I did not even receive. Tastes good-ish, but I'm sorry to report it's a complete scam. Two stars are for the general taste and the very nice server Anna, but I cannot recommend this business. read more

My daughter visited Con Pane when she had friends in town from North Carolina. She loved it so much that she took her sister another time and then me last week. I got the turkey Cobb sandwich on the rosemary bread. It was delicious. I might add picked red onion to have more contrast with the blue cheese/gorgonzola. My daughter is a pescatarian and I'm glad they have a vegetarian sandwich offer. She said it was amazing. The peanut butter toffee cookie was so good but I wasn't a huge fan of the cowgirl cookie. It was too dense and dry like the Ausi bites at Costco. Parking is nearby in several lots but you might find street parking. read more

I had an amazing sandwich! I ordered the Turkey Cobb Sandwich on the sliced sourdough. The bread was incredibly fresh and tasty. Whoever thought to put a Cobb salad on a sandwich was genius. The bacon with freshly cooked just right. The Gorgonzola cheese was the perfect addition to this sandwich. The sandwich is large. Smaller appetites may want to share. We ordered to take out and it was ready when we arrived. While we didn't eat at the cafe, the energy was good and there is a nice outdoor eating area. read more

Cinnamon Roll with Raisins suuuper legit. Brioche dough is soft, moist, and elevates height of cinnamon roll. Raisin are just Raisins. They add just enough cinnamon spread. Cream cheese glaze is good enough to drink. Worth it! Chocolate Hazelnut Twist is good, but I should have read it is also a brioche dough. When you get that combo of chocolate, Hazelnut, and powdered sugar, it's the truth. Black coffee is hot and delicious. Highly recommend to go along with breads. read more

Big fan - love their breads pasties and coffee. Nice to sit on the outdoor patio too- we often pick up bread for home.

Came here for brunch on our staycation. Although we've been here several times, but it was more than a decade ago. During that time, the restaurant had changed very little, if at all. We ordered a turkey club sandwich, grilled cheese and tomato soup, and a chocolate hazelnut brioche to share. For drinks, we ordered a hot chocolate and an Americano. The sandwiches were both good, the highlight being the fresh bread. The grilled cheese went well with the somewhat pricey soup ($10 for small bowl). I enjoyed my coffee and my son seemed to enjoy his hot chocolate as well. The restaurant is very busy, but there are plenty of seating inside and on the outside patio. The servers were very nice and helpful, which is always welcomed. If you like Artisan bread, this is a nice place to indulge. read more

This spot was highly recommended by a friend and I can see why! Welcoming spot in Liberty Station that has plenty of seating. The bread is fresh and delicious. I got a Turkey Cobb sandwich on rosemary bread. The soups looked amazing but it was kind of hot (fun problem to have in winter!). They also had pastries and coffees so I may stop by again later this week. read more

My dad, sister, and I grabbed an afternoon meal and on our way to the parking lot we spotted this gem. Immediately, I was drawn by the clear invitation the bakery and cafe makes in its open doors and great outdoor and indoor seating area. By the time we entered, it was clear that the breads are a hit. They go out so quickly! Please note that there's a separate line you can stand in if you are just grabbing baked goods. For our first visit here we grabbed the following: *Cinnamon bun (plain) - an absolute must! There's an option for a raisin-based one too *Croissant - it was a delightful surprise to discover the croissants were visibly salted and to a degree that was surprisingly delicious *Plain loaf - one of the largest ones and few remaining loaves of bread that remained. They can slice it for you to take home *two drip coffees and house lemonade The staff brought us our order in person with utensils packed in the bag which we were grateful for. Thank you all so much! I hope we can come again to check out the sandwiches and soups and more bread! Inside and out - this place made my heart sing for joy because it embodies the definition of a bakery and cafe so well! read more

Bomb bakery with a huge selection of bread! Love their sourdough and definitely recommend getting that if you don't get anything else. They also have sandwiches and coffee. There are two separate lines for ordering food and just picking up baked goodies; make sure you're in the right one so you don't end up wasting time. Definitely recommend stopping by if you're at Liberty Station! read more

I wanted to update my previous review because Con pane has truly shown what kind of business they are. A few months ago, I mentioned some miscommunication about their Dutch Crunch bread, my absolute favorite. After two Saturdays in a row where it wasn't available, we stopped going weekly, even though we still loved everything they made. Today, my husband came home and told me about an unexpected interaction with the general manager, Dania, and it honestly meant a lot. My husband didn't approach anyone, yet the GM recognized him, came over, and kindly explained exactly what happened during those weeks. It turns out it really was a perfect storm, some internal communication issues and then a batch that didn't meet their standards, so they chose not to sell it. That level of pride and transparency says everything. We're all human, and things happen, but how a business responds matters. Con pane handled it with honesty, kindness, and genuine care. If I could give them a million stars, I would. Their Dutch Crunch is back (and as amazing as ever), and my appreciation for their team is higher than ever. If my earlier review gave you pause, I hope this update helps. This place is truly wonderful. And for anyone planning ahead...they also offer catering and are taking holiday orders. We'll absolutely be placing ours. read more

This very busy breakfast, lunch, and bakery establishment is yet another of the Cohn Group's constellation of eateries. I dined at Vintana, another Cohn restaurant, where I learned about Cohn's loyalty club, which I joined, then received $10 off at any Cohn-establishment. What a deal! The menu offers many mouth-watering choices of mostly sandwiches and pastries, but I opted to buy a loaf of their artisan multi-grain bread to take home. Tender crumb, yet hearty, it was delicious, and I was glad that I had asked for it to be sliced, as I enjoyed several slices on the way home. Put in the freezer at home, this substantial loaf lasted me 2 weeks, it was so large. Next time, I'll stay for lunch, or buy a picnic take out box. Accommodating service. Outdoor as well as indoor seating. Lots of nearby parking. read more

Have had pastries and iced tea there. My sister did not like her coffee drink but I think everyone liked their pastries and cookies.

We were in the area for an event and came here for a quick coffee and snack. This spot got pretty busy on a Saturday but still had plenty of seating. I tried the Rose Latte which was so good. It was balanced well with the amount of sweetness. I also ordered a mini cinnamon roll which was just ok. I think the bigger one Rodger for the table, and heated up would have been better. I didn't try any breads or sandwiches, but they all looked so good, so I will be back! read more

Updating my review after 10+ years, and honestly? My opinion hasn't changed--I still love this place. I always get the Turkey Cobb on kalamata olive bread and it's hands down one of the best sandwiches I've ever had. Somehow, after all this time, it's still just as good as I remember. Also gotta shout out the shortbread cookies. They're these buttery little melt-in-your-mouth bites of joy--can't leave without grabbing one. Con Pane has been a longtime favorite, and I'll absolutely keep coming back... hopefully for another 10 years! read more

Wow what has changed other then new ownership less meat more expensive? My 15.00 turkey sandwich had so little meat you tasted bread & tomatoes. I use to go weekly several years ago it was the place for great coffee- desserts & sandwiches.

I get that this place literally translates to "with bread".... And I love my carbs, but they are really not doing themselves any favors by having literally nothing else on the menu. It's all sandwiches, slices of bread, and pastries. I went with some friends this afternoon after kayaking at liberty Station. We were totally starving. I ordered the half sized portion of the "almost grilled cheese" sandwich and asked for a bit of jam on the side. The sandwich had nice flavor with the melted brie and Gorgonzola, but the cheese to bread ratio was really off in my opinion. Would've absolutely slayed with a cup or bowl of some sort of soup on the side or a small salad. My man got a half roast beef sandwich that looked good but quite basic. It also had a large amount of red onions on it, which was a bit of overkill. So basically, after eating bread with more bread for lunch, which I love, I went home and was automatically already hungry and had to make myself something additional to eat. I'll know for next time this isn't really a place for me that I get a meal, it would be more like a coffee and a pastry spot. We also went for the cinnamon roll that was highly recommended by the girls working at the counter. That was super tasty. The cappuccinos are nice. They use Cafe Moto, I always love it when they use one of the local roasters. The ambience was just OK for me. The place is very busy and being fast casual. I appreciated that they came around, offering to bus our table throughout the meal, but it kind of came off like they were trying to rush us out of there. We had two other people in our party so the bill for our table of four was more than $100 after tipping. read more

My friend and I met at 10:00 AM for a nice visit. We were happy to see that we didn't have to wait in a long line and our orders were delivered to our table promptly. I had to decide between savory or sweet and I chose the half veggie Cobb on sourdough with a coffee. I enjoyed every bite, and love the mung bean sprouts crunch and the salty dried tomatoes. Would have like more avocado though. It's always nice when sandwiches have a generous filling instead of being skimpy. My friend went for the orange roll and the dark chocolate and date scone. Both were tasty and ample and her latte was hot and delicious. We enjoyed our brunch outside and a good time was had by all! read more

The pairing of a hot Americano with a cinnamon roll is a go-to for me. It is a way for me to determine if this is a place I would visit again. I walked into Con Pane with the plan of ordering an Americano and doing some work. When I saw the cinnamon roll I had to go for it. Busy vibe, obviously a popular place as the line was long but it went quickly. When I ordered my cinnamon roll I was asked if I wanted the one with raisins. Not sure how I feel about that. It almost feels blasphemous but I will reserve my judgment until I return and try this potential abomination. You never know, I may be converted. Outside seating was pleasant as it was a beautiful sunny day. The Americano was fine. I would give it a 6.5 out of 10. I'm not against bitter coffee but there is a limit. The cinnamon roll did not disappoint. Warm with a good balance of firmness and gooeyness. I do like the middle of the cinnamon roll to be extra gooey, just on the edge of raw. This one was consistent all the way through. The icing was just sweet enough. It did not make me seek out insulin. 8.5 out of 10. Will I come back? Definitely. I have to give that butterscotch latte a try next time. read more

Like I said in an earlier review, bakery is the theme this summer! Looking for a new place to walk, I didn't realize how big the park was at Liberty Station. And this bakery/cafe is right there! After Cako and I finished our walk, I went in and started ordering! I ordered a cinnamon roll, plain croissant, chocolate croissant, dark chocolate cookie, apricot ginger scone, and a loaf of the rosemary olive oil bread. Oh and the pesto foccacia and the tomato foccacia. Everything was really good! Especially that rosemary bread! The interior is large but a bit cozy and they have a great outdoor patio that I'm sure Cako would like. The only issue I had was the line for bread and pastry. The girl was working alone and not only rang you up but went and got your order too. I had to deduct a star because she forgot my apricot ginger scone, and since I live far away, I wasn't going to go back for it. Other than that, this place seems really popular with the senior community! I can see how it can get really crowded for breakfast and lunch! read more

During the week life takes over, work, stress, everything at once. I just take a breath and tell myself: wait for the weekend. I grab a chocolate or almond croissant and a latte from Con Pane and walk to the park. The croissant is still warm. It breaks into delicate flakes and the steam carries that deep baked-butter smell that feels like a hug. The center stays soft and rich. Then the latte follows and settles everything. My brain finally shuts up. For a few minutes, nothing needs fixing. Is it the weekend yet? read more

This location is open with outdoor and indoor seating. Staff are friendly and everything looked delicious. It was a cozy place for studying, working, or meeting friends. After grabbing coffee with hubby this morning, I stopped by here to pick up some sourdough bread. I wasn't sure how early they sold out so I wanted to get there as soon as they opened at 8:00 am. From a recommendation of the kind elderly lady in front of me in line I grabbed a Point Loma Sourdough baguette. I also added a Sourdough Boule (I asked to be sliced) and a Butter Toffee Peanut Butter cookie for hubby. Hubby came back from working and we came here for lunch around 11:30 am. Good thing I bought my bread this morning because they were already out of sourdough boules and baguettes. We split a whole Italian Salami sandwich on sourdough and a bag of chips. Even though they cut the sandwich in half, our halves could've been cut in half again. That is how huge the sandwiches were! I'm not a salami sandwich person but the ingredients were flavorful and went well together. Hubby loved that there wasn't any mayo in the sandwich. The flavored basil pesto infused oil and the pepperoncini were so yummy. The bread was light, soft and had a chewy crust. We will definitely be back for more sourdough bread. Plus, I want to try their Bread Bakers Plate and homemade granola! read more

Truly a bread lover's paradise. We flew into SD early one morning and a friend picked us up and brought us here for breakfast. The delicious smell of bread wafting everywhere and the giant displays of gorgeous loaves makes you want to order everything. We got a trio of bread and spread to share, and it was literally three whole loaves of bread. I thought that I would be stuffed after a few bites, but the bread is so airy and delicious and the spreads complement them so well that you find yourself eating more and more until only crumbs are left. Rosemary Olive Oil and Gruyère & Chive were amaaazing. Their coffee also comes in giant mugs. A huge -- pun intended -- plus. And don't sleep on the orange sugar bun. They looked so tempting by the register so we got one on a whim, and it was. so. good. My carb dream come true. The patio is a great place to hang, but you'll have to endure loud airplanes overhead, so if you're having a serious convo, you might want to take it inside. read more

Always looking forward to Con Pane for my favorite Turkey with sun-dried tomato sandwich. I don't even mind the price increase over the years. From $10.95 to the current $14.95 but skimping on the turkey while increasing the price is not a good business practice. I barely get like two slices of turkey in this huge sandwich. The bread and service are still great tho. I no longer have the urge to drive 30 miles for bread. read more
