Fresh baked pastries baked on premises daily. Small area to sit outside. Best croissants in downtown. I love the cinnamon buns. Owner very helpful and friendly. You can put in large orders for next day. read more

OMG LOVE, LOVE, LOVE!!! Was in the area of of course I had to search for a new place to try. I love that I was able to text to preorder for the next day to pick up. I of course had to order several things to try especially the mochissants. Here is my order below: 1 Black sesame croissant, 1 apple lychee croissant, 1 Hawaiian sticky roll, mochissant 1 of each flavor (strawberry, blueberry, chocolate, plain), 3 Portuguese egg tart, 1 ube egg tart, 1 ham and cheese croissant, 1 chocolate croissant, and 1 mango & sticky rice kouign Amann. I ordered a lot since I'm not close and wanted to try all the goodies on the menu. He said that they freeze well so if I didn't get to all of them I could put it in a ziplock to freeze and just heat in oven when I wanted to eat it. He was so friendly and nice. Seriously great service. I wanted to add a cinnamon roll to my order last minute this morning but he apologized that they already sold out. When I showed up to pick up my order, he said he saved a slice of apple pie for me on the house. So nice of him. I can't believe it's just him baking and running this place with these amazing pastries. The cafe is located on the corner of a one way street. Parking situation is a little complex but that's for all the places in the area. It wasn't too bad though as we were able to turn at the follow light to loop around and find a parking spot on the street. Places in this area, I think are more intended to walk to and enjoy the outdoor city vibes. Which the outdoor seating is perfect for where you can enjoy your pastry, read or people watch lol Anyways, definitely recommend checking out the home of the mochissant!! So far I've only tried the strawberry one and it's flaky on the outside with that soft chewy mochi on the inside. I am a fan of mochi so it definitely hit the spot for me. My kids gobbled up the chocolate croissant and ham and cheese croissant. I got a small bite of the ham and cheese. That was delicious too. Can't wait to try to the rest. read more

Since Cako and I were downtown, we thought it would be great to stop by here again. I really love their mochissants! The crispy outside and doughy mochi are a great combination! This visit, I ordered the...the..I'm just going to call it the Hawaiian sticky bun...pineapple and coconut, and not overly sweet! Of course, I also had to have a plain and chocolate croissant for the next day. But again, it's all about those mochissants. There are a number of other pastries to choose from. I guess I'll just have to eat my way through them! As always, the staff is very friendly! read more

Really yummy! We tried the apple lychee croissant and the mango sticky rice kouign amann. The apple lychee croissant is what you'd expect, but still really good; lots of apple slices, a little cinnamon, and some lychee mixed in. The mango sticky rice kouign amann was the standout! Fresh mango filling and a thin layer of sticky rice inside the pastry. Would definitely get again. They were sold out of a good amount of pastries by 1:30pm (as expected since they close at 2) so we'll definitely need to stop by again to try their other goodies! The owner was super sweet and kind as well. read more

I have never had baked goods like this before and I mean that in the best possible way. Our family visited on vacation and after trying some, they were so good we bought bough to last us several days breakfasts. Mochissants are perfect! Mango sticky rice kouign amaan, just... wow. The owner Bruno is a humble genius and honestly I don't understand why this place doesn't constantly have a crazy line out the door. It's that good. read more

Really delicious pistachio croissant!! The employee (owner?) who waited on us was very helpful and friendly! When we walked in they were almost sold out and he added a little biscuit to our bag as an extra treat. Look forward to coming back early another day to see a larger selection of baked goods! read more

Rolling Out Cafe - Exterior - Bakeries Near Me - San Diego, California

This downtown corner suite used to be the longtime home of a chain sandwich shop. With roots from the Bay Area, Rolling Out Cafe is the new business that has taken over the space. If you can't find a nearby curbside spot, then perhaps park across the street within the structure at Ralphs and walk over. Some tables were placed outside on the sidewalk for seating, however the inside was only large enough to order and take your food to go. On the awning were the words "Home of Mochissant." It's the signature product and was made up of laminated layers of mochi and pastry dough to form a croissant. I arrived late in the day so the choices of baked goods were not as plentiful as during the morning. Several types were on display behind the plastic shield at the service counter. Menu boards were posted high above listing other offerings such as breakfast and lunch sandwiches, pot pies, and coffee. Three Mochissant flavors were available... plain, chocolate, and strawberry. I chose the last one for my order along with a Mango & Sticky Rice Kouign-Amann which was also a laminated pastry. The Mochissant was slightly chewy compared to a traditional croissant, but that was the point of including mochi into the mix. A strawberry slice was included inside the product. I loved the mango and sticky rice combination in the second item which was sweet but not cloying. The worker who assisted me looked like the owner as he was running the shop all by himself while I was there. The prices were reasonable given the quality of the products. If downtown parking wasn't so challenging, then I would return more frequently to try other stuff like the egg tarts, cinnamon rolls, and Hawaiian sticky rolls. My experience at Rolling Out Cafe was an easy four star rating. read more

A bakery that became popular in SF has migrated to SD! The cafe itself is no frills but the pastries speak for themselves. They are all fresh made and reasonably priced. Super flaky and buttery but my favorite was the coffee mochisant. Such a unique concept of combining mochi textures in a croissant. I loved that none of the pastries were too sweet. Great for the Asian palette and you can tell people are noticing it too because I believe they are still operating through their soft opening and it was quite busy! read more

Came here while walking the dogs, and decided to get the mochi strawberry croissant, and it was the perfect mix of the flakiness of a croissant and the squishiness of mochi 11/10. It was also just the right amount of sweetness. But for the size, it was a bit over priced. I expected it to be bigger. Though the food tasted amazing, I removed a star because the place is a bit messy and needs a decor revamp. I know they just opened within the last 2 months, so I'm sure they're still figuring out some things, but the ambiance needs some work. I would love to come back to try out their mango pastry. read more

Rolling Out Cafe - Mango sticky rice danish, ube egg tart, mochi croissant, and black sesame croissant - Bakeries Near Me - San Diego, California

One of my friends who lives downtown recommended this bakery, and I was drawn in by the Asian menu and reasonable prices, so I took the first opportunity I got to try it. I am so glad I did! I was so pleasantly surprised by the large variety of items which is impressive for soft opening. I had a hard time deciding and picked a large variety of items to try. Favorites: -mango sticky rice kouign amann: we loved the sweet and tart mango flavor and the actual pieces of glutinous rice in it. -chocolate and strawberry mochissants: the mochi stuffing inside makes sense and provides enough texture difference between the crispy buttery croissant which makes for a pleasant experience -black sesame croissant: there is so much black sesame filling in it and the croissant is so buttery and tasty -ham and cheese croissant: I thought it had a good amount of ham and love that the ham and cheese are baked into the croissant rather than stuffed after baking Needs improvement: Ube egg tart tasted like a plain egg tart. Overall, everything looks sweet, but actually they're not too sweet at all and are perfect for Asian palate. That's the best Asian compliment that not too sweet-- meaning you can enjoy the underlying natural flavors. Can't wait to go back and get more pastries! What an amazing bakery to come to San Diego read more

Came here on Thanksgiving morning to try new Asian-inspired pastries combining mochi with flaky, buttery croissant layers, recently relocated from SF. I think their specialty is the mango sticky rice kouign amann so made sure to get that but their other offerings were so tempting (and reasonably priced) that I couldn't resist! Overall, I love the combinations of textures and how the pastries are not too sweet :) Parking is limited since it's in Downtown San Diego. Chairs and tables are plentiful outside. read more

This place just relocated from the Bay Area and we heard about it from a friend. It's located in downtown on the corner of 1st and G street. There's only street parking and there's no indoor seating. It's just a pick up and go bakery. The staff was very friendly and answered all our questions. We got there around 10am on Saturday and half of the baked goods were already gone. We bought almost one of everything and pretty much loved almost all of them. Compared to other Asian inspired bakeries nearby, these baked goods are far superior in taste and quality. The croissant is flaky, buttery, with plenty of filling. The mochissaint actually has a mochi center! The kouign amann had a mild mango flavor with actually bits of sticky rice in it. The ham and cheese croissant could use a bit more ham and cheese though. For the price, we definitely recommend this bakery! read more

The ham and cheese croissant was our fav (see pic for center). The Mango sticky rice kouign aman was so delicious, krispy edges and great flavor. The texture of the strawberry and blueberry mochissants were also great (I wish they were a tad sweeter for me). Service was friendly and quick and prices were fair and didn't break the bank! Street parking and there are a few tables outside with umbrellas. I'll have to go back for the ube tarts which were sold out when we got there mid morning on a weekend. Clean shop and they have grab and go drinks and coffee too. read more

This bakery has recently rolled into downtown San Diego. I came in for some croissants but they were already out of the ones I wanted so I settled for a slice of zucchini and corn quiche for $7. I found the corn inside the quiche to be interesting but it worked. Both the zucchini and corn were abundant in the quiche and tasty. My favorite part of the quiche was the pastry crust. It had that great texture and flavor. The egg portion was well seasoned and baked. They offer a variety of pastries and baked goods, including a mix of croissants, cinnamon rolls, sausage rolls, sticky rolls, biscuits, and much more. They also offer breakfast sandwiches. There is some outside seating, but none inside as of yet. The service was welcoming and friendly. read more

Wow ! What a great find! We are visiting San Diego and are staying in downtown. As we head out to LA day trip today, we drove by and saw a sign for mocha croissant and mango sticky rice croissant, Portugese egg tarts. We pulled over right away! We were greeted by a very friendly guy dressed in a muscle tee and an apron! We could tell this is the master mind and the one baking all these wonderful treats! We had the Portugese egg tarts, mango sticky rice croissant, and the apple lychee croissant. They were THE ABSOLUTE BEST thing I've ever had! The croissants were perfectly flaky and soft inside with a sweet crispy on the outside. The flavors are very unique and Asian inspired. Let's say we finished it in 15 min and wanting more already! We will be be sure to bring some back to share with family at home! read more

Rolling Out Cafe is a hole in the wall bakery that offers unique pastries, such as their signature mochi croissant. I tried an assortment of items including their mochi biscuit, strawberry mochisant, hawaiian roll, and black sesame croissant. My favorites were the mochi biscuit and mochisant. The mochi gave the pastries more chewiness, and I found them to be less dry than typical biscuits and croissants. I got there around 1 pm on a weekend. While there was no line, they were out of many items already, so I recommend coming earlier. The gentleman who helped us with our order was very kind in walking us through the items available. Im already planning my next visit to check out their mango and sticky rice kouign amann and ube tart! :) read more

Phenomenal. Super creative, extremely flavorful, and perfectly executed. The Hawaiian sticky roll was soft, gooey, and addictive. Further, the mochissant, a mochi + croissant hybrid, mine being strawberry is a genius idea. It's trademarked but this absolutely needs to be available everywhere. Crunchy on the outside/crust and then you get the chewy interior. This place is legit. Service was friendly and immediately welcomed me in. read more

Grabbed a lil bit of almost everything they offered, they did not disappoint. Everything was absolutely delicious. Mochi croissants were flaky on the outside, chewy on the inside side, so addictive. The crust on the tarts were to die for and the filling was flavorful and creamy. Hawaiian cinnamon roll were soft, perfectly sweetened. Their mango sticky rice kouign amann were chefs kiss. We also got their sausage roll, ham and cheese croissant and a spinach corn quiche that was pretty amazing. read more

Come to Los Angeles!! Was visiting for a conference and was happy to see such a well-reviewed spot close to my hotel. I rarely leave reviews but these pastries w/ a spin on traditional croissants and other bfast favs (the Hawaii roll looked insane) are so lovely and perfectly flavored and lightly sweet. The sesame croissant is delicious, the Portuguese egg tarts are delightful, and the mochissant makes me want to find a similar item in LA! The "deli sandwich" with turkey was also yummy with fluffy bread and fresh veggies. I think the bread is made in-house- it was a nice surprise. Delectable and unique concept. Loved it. read more

the man working here was soo sweet. i just maybe wish i would've come here for pastries instead of the vegetarian sandwich! their homemade bread is yummy and fluffy but its large so i just wish the filling of the sandwich was spread out more, otherwise a lot of bites are pretty much just bread. there was only one very small piece of avocado. the cilantro sauce was good. the eggs (might be microwaved?) are a small disk that you only get in a few of the bites in the middle, the sauce also only in the very middle. but he was so kind, the pastries looked and smelled amazing! the sandwich was just missing something. read more

Mochi croissant is such a great idea! Loved the chocolate one. The ham and cheese was huge and delicious. Will be back!

By the time I got there it was an hour before closing, and almost everything was sold out. From what was left, I got the ube tart, Portuguese egg tart, and the mango sticky rice kouign amann. Get the Mango Sticky Rice Kouign Amann! You will not regret it! Sweet mango custard with small mango chunks on top of sticky rice mildly flavored with coconut cream in a sugary crust. Yum! The ube tart didn't have much ube flavor to me. The Portuguese egg tart was sweet but not too sweet. Both had a nice buttery crust. Looking forward to visiting a bit earlier next time to have more variety to choose from. read more

Woooow. My first time here and I walked out with several pastries: mango sticky rice kouign amann (the last one!), pistaschio croissant, mochi biscuit, and sesame croissant. I got there at around 11:30am on a Sunday on Mother's Day and half of the display case was gone :( Seems like Ube was really popular so I'd have to grab that next! They also had quiches, a beverages case, too and seating outside. I just finished off the mango sticky rice kouign amann and it was excellent! Definitely returning. read more

Loving this new addition to the neighborhood, I highly recommend stopping by here! Most of the pastries have Asian inspired flavors and everything I've tried so far has been amazing (black sesame mochissant, egg tart, cinnamon roll, mango sticky rice kouign amann to name a few...) I was even able to sample the sandwich bread one day and that's also another bakery item to not sleep on. They've even started baking pumpkin pies, so I'll definitely be ordering that for the holidays! read more

So happy to have this new bakery in the neighborhood! Everything we tried was excellent, starting with the ham and cheese croissant--perfectly flaky, buttery, and generously filled. The chocolate croissant was just as impressive, with rich chocolate and a light, crisp exterior. The egg tarts were a standout too: creamy, perfectly baked, and not overly sweet. On top of the great pastries, the owner was incredibly kind and personable, which made the experience even better. You can tell there's real care and pride behind the baking. Prices are very fair for the quality, especially for a brand-new spot. The shop was very clean and tidy too. I'll definitely be back and highly recommend checking it out! read more

So sad Rolling Out left SF, so had to stop by when we were in San Diego! I've been craving their Apple lychee croissants so badly. Quick service and a nice outside area to sit and eat. We would've grabbed more but we had to head to the airport. Will definitely be stopping by Rolling Out for every San Diego trip. FYI the street that it's on has no parking but we just parked a few blocks down, across the street from Vons and had no issues late morning on a Sunday. read more

Now you listen to me! Go here now! But seriously, the Portuguese egg custard tart & Chocolate mochissant are enough to recommend a visit. They also have quiche, comfort food, Irish sausage pastries, and a variety of other delectables. Stop by for a coffee and a pastry, you won't be sorry read more

I ordered a selection of croissants for the office, and they were incredible. The classic croissants arrived warm, perfectly crunchy on the outside, and irresistibly soft and buttery on the inside--exactly how a croissant should be. We also tried the chocolate and strawberry mochissants, and they were truly to die for. Flaky, flavorful, and just the right amount of sweetness. Everyone in the office absolutely loved them--there wasn't a single pastry left by the end of the morning! Highly recommend if you're looking to impress a group or treat yourself to something exceptional. Will definitely be ordering again! read more

Our breakfast experience here was fantastic. The man working behind the counter was quick and very nice. The food looked good but even tasted better than it looked. We split the B-G-T-A and the Ham & Cheese Croissant and both were so good! The croissant was perfectly flaky and fresh and the combination with warm ham and cheese inside was delicious! And the B-G-T-A was so good! I'm not sure how there weren't more people there. Way underrated place. Highly recommend. read more
