Baked goods
Liz G.

Took a little walk on the beach today and I wanted coffee. I ordered the caramel cloud cold brew from their June drink menu, and it was amazing. The perfect balance of strong coffee with caramel drizzle and sweet cream cold foam. I also had the most delicious cinnamon roll. They offered to heat it but I wanted to take it home to eat later. It was so fresh and pillowy and perfectly sweet! I highly recommend this place. All of the staff members were fantastic, and they sell the cutest stickers, olive merch, and other Pacifc Beach themed items. It's a great looking baking company in the perfect location!

My wife brought me to this place she said she was watching someone named Flakko talk about how good the cinnamon roll was so we pulled up. When you step inside it overwhelming because their are so many good looking items but we had to keep it cute and just grab a couple of items we got the cinnamon bun and too egg sausage jalapeno kolachis. I wasnt paying attention or I wouldve got the banana bread latte but life goes on. The kolachis were great seasoned and warm the jalapenos weren't crazy hot but added flavor, the cinnamon roll was good and I like that it was made with sourdough the tang that is added gives the bun a nice balance.

I've been to Olive for breakfast many times over the last 10+ years. This was the first time I walked over to the bakery. There was plenty of outdoor seating available around 10 on a Saturday morning. I ordered coffee and cinnamon roll. If you want something a bit more grab and go, this spot is easy. It's also right by the boardwalk, I was able to walk with my coffee. There are also lots of cute gifts inside the storefront as well.

So many tasty options it's hard to decide what to get. Huge Cinnamon Rolls, kolaches, croissants....they're all good. The staff are always friendly and polite as they serve up your order. Inside there are souvenirs, honeys, jams and other neat items to purchase. Always busy but you should be able to grab a table outside to enjoy your delicious treats.

Sourdough Bread

Great spot to stop on a morning stroll. They offer fresh bread, pastries, cookies, coffee, and more importantly cinnamon rolls. I tried a sausage egg cheese kolache and boy was it tasty!! I also grabbed an ice coffee with croissants and sourdough for the road!

$3.50 - Vegan 5/5
Janessa H.

Great location to grab a coffee, tea, or baked good while walking around the beach. I was craving banana bread and had a hard time finding some, so crazy! All of the banana bread here is Vegan & $3.50. It was delicious! I loved the big walnut pieces on the top. Would definitely be back for a slice of this and try out their coffee, the prices seem fair!

Jalapeño, sausage, and cheese kolache

I am absolutely OBSESSED with these kolaches. When I first tried them it was genuinely life changing. The bread is so doughy and soft and the cheese melt is perfect. I dream about these. Not to mention this bakery is in a great spot, right next to the beach. The staff is very friendly and kind too. All of their other baked goods look delicious and they have some great sourdough you can take home. I recommend their banana bread latte too.

Raspberry flavored Italian soda
Jennifer V.

Prices are better than comparable places, but the Italian soda I got was only okay. It tasted a little diluted. They do have small business jams and honey sold here. Conveniently located near Pacific Beach. Outdoor seating available. A little dark inside. Employee was super efficient in taking our order and getting us our drink.

The presentation, variety, and creativity of their baked goods really stood out. Two items in particular completely won me over: the Chocolate Almond Croissant and the Bibimbap Croissant. The Chocolate Almond Croissant was everything you want in a pastry. Buttery, flaky layers with a delicious combination of chocolate and almond. It wasn't too much of one flavor but a smooth balance of both. Such a great balance of textures and flavors. But the Bibimbap Croissant? That was the unexpected star of the show. I genuinely don't think I've had anything quite like it. The savory beef filling paired with the flaky croissant, Korean chili sauce, and pickled cucumbers was such a brilliant combination. The contrast of savory, spicy, tangy, and buttery flavors made every bite interesting. It was creative without feeling like a gimmick. Honestly, as soon as I finished it, I said, "I miss it already." That's how good it was! I love when a bakery takes something familiar and turns it into something completely unexpected. Izola's does exactly that. Whether you're looking for a traditional pastry or something adventurous, there's clearly so much creativity happening here. Already looking forward to my next visit. Do yourself a favor and get the Bibimbap Croissant!

The only challenge here is finding parking…read more There is a paid parking lot south on Union street and that is only a 5-minute walk including the wait at the stop light. This place sells itself. If you want to have an amazing dessert experience this is the place! There is another location north of this location about a 7-minute drive but there are not as many tables. The same inventory but the parking is even more limited. The ordering workflow can be confusing at this location but here's how it works. The line on the left lets you view the dessert display that line will get you to the cashier but patrons think the line starts at the cashier. It does not, it can be confusing. I recommend having one person in your party stand in line near the register and have another party stand in line near the dessert display case on the left side. Swap places with your party if they want a better visual of the desserts. The coffee, tea and lemonade are good here, just be patient with your order it's a process here but the wait is worth it. Enjoy!

For a place that is supposed to be about enjoying beautiful desserts and having a nice experience, the quality of the service completely ruined our visit.

We ordered a bunch of desserts to share at work so I got to sample a good selection. Pricing is in line with other fancy dessert places. Presentation is beautiful. Some items were to my taste, others not so much. Creme brulee cheesecake - The brulee is very slight, not enough to form a sugar top or anything. More just like a good slice of cheesecake. Cookie - This was my favorite, strong vanilla flavor from the icing, a pretty densely baked cookie. Very large, worth the $4.50 in my opinion. Carrot cake tres leches - Not for me, the cinnamon was overpowering and I would've liked to taste more of the other spices. Pandan cake - The texture is slightly different, almost bouncy like some tapioca or rice flour was used. The pandan flavor is very present; I enjoyed it, reminiscent of some Southeast Asian desserts. A bit on the sweet side. Mango cupcake - Very delicate whipped frosting, overall good but nothing standout to me Passion fruit tart - Very good. Can be a bit sweet for some, I think some of my coworkers didn't enjoy the gritty sugar in the center filling, but I thought the flavor was excellent. Coconut cake - Also not very popular among my coworkers; for me it was a little sweet but also a little one note. Not my favorite. Hojicha cheesecake - Good! Strong tea flavor which balances out the sweetness, and possibly the most unique flavor out of all the desserts. If I were to return here for something, it would be for this. Pavlova - The eggy smell is too strong. Least popular item among my coworkers. The custard inside is decent and the dessert itself is beautiful, more of an instagram dessert.

The bakery is a haven for local artisans showcasing lots of local bakers and purveyors on a rotating basis, and is even woman owned! We popped by shortly after opening and had our choice of goods, I went with a cinnamon roll and it was absolutely divine! Pillowy, fresh, a little crisp on the edges, and legit perfection. We got a few cookies to go and our partners absolutely enjoyed them as well. Not a bad bite to go around! Additionally, we scooped up a few cold brews that were on pop-up, and as expected, delightful! Service was friendly, welcoming and fun. We chatted with the team, talked all things current rotations, got recommendations and spent a few minutes talking all things local. The space is cool, and definitely special. Really glad we caught it open and no busy on our walk! Definitely worth a stop by!
