    Shoreside Bakery is a cute, yet sophisticated charming family-owned gem in downtown San Diego. They offer a fantastic selection of sourdough sandwiches, European pastries, and high-quality craft coffee. The atmosphere is incredibly friendly and relaxing, with great options to sit either inside or outdoors. It's the perfect spot whether you're a tourist exploring downtown or a local looking for a unique coffee drink and a chill city vibe. I highly recommend the Juice: A total must-try--so yummy and unique! The cafe mocha presentation is beautiful and truly inspiring. Jason was super welcoming and friendly. I highly recommend the turkey sandwich, and if you're into chocolate, they make an amazing thick chocolate filled cookie that's oh so delicious... among other yummy, unique European desserts. I was pleasantly surprised and so were my taste buds!!!

    Great place for breakfast or lunch at Downtown San Diego. Yummy cakes and very nice atmosphere! Service was 10/10

    Stopped by Shoreside Bakery and got the Napoleon cake - absolutely amazing. Perfect layers, fresh taste, and not overly sweet.

    Amazing experience! I've been wanting to check this place out since they opened and happened to be near by today. Breakfast wrap was amazing, the cakes were fresh and not too sweet( which is a main criteria for me)... ahh and the coffee! Their coffee is just soooo good ! Everyone was super friendly and positive. I will be back!

    Food here is superb, every bite feels homemade, full of flavor, and made with real care. You can truly taste the quality. The ambiance has a cozy European charm: warm, inviting, and effortlessly genuine. The team greets you with a smile)) Yes, even at 6:30 am -- I checked!... lol You feel right at home from the moment you walk in. The coffee, pastries, sandwiches, and friendly service make it all come together.

    Mango passion fruit cheesecake & an americano
    Abigail L.

    I have season tickets to the symphony in the afternoon and usually arrive downtown quite early. It's become my routine to stop in here and get an americano and a slice of something. The atmosphere is lovely and the service is always kind and prompt. I order to eat there and they give you the nicest mug and tableware I've had at a small cafe. I've tried the honey cake (fantastic!!) and most recently the mango cheesecake. The cheesecake itself was just fine but the fruit gel on top was texturally off to me and very bland. I was excepting a punch of flavor, it being named mango passion fruit and all. But it had almost no flavor aside from the coconut sprinkles. The coffee is always good! I think I missed the mark in ordering the cheesecake. I'll continue to go as it's just around the corner from the symphony hall and is actually open on Sunday afternoons unlike a lot of places downtown. I haven't tried their breads but they look phenomenal and they even sell sourdough starter! I've not eaten any of their savory foods but they also offer sandwiches and such if you're wanting lunch. Definitely worth stopping in if you're downtown.

    Prosciutto and mozzarella toast with fig glaze (to go)
    Danielle S.

    Love this spot! They have a great little menu. It's gourmet fur sure. I haven't tried the gourmet tuna with caviar toast yet but that's next on my list. I was craving their prosciutto mozzarella toast with fig glaze again. So delicious! The freshly baked bread is to die for! For those who are gluten free, they have that too. There are lots of sweet treats - I've never even seen a Dubai cheesecake until today. I'm going to need to try that to! Can't wait to try everything on the menu. The people are great here - very friendly and make you feel really comfortable. The ambiance is beautiful - the music, the decor. It's just a perfect little spot.

    Ukrainian Borch! 10/10

    This bakery is the cutest in all San Diego! The inside is gorgeous! Very bright and clean. The owners are very sweet and friendly. The staff were amazing and accommodating. Restaurant quality service. The food? Well you'd have to come in and see for yourself! ... a 10/10. We waster no time digging in! I'd definitely come in bright and early for the bread which sells out fast!

    Breakfast Wrap really good and the salsa that comes with it awesome

I told my friend the food was worth the wait. After an hour we got sat at the bar and our first server was friendly. There was a transition of servers (not sure if he left for the day or went on lunch) and the new server would check on everyone at the bar except us. My water remained empty for most of the meal. The bartenders in front of us were clearly having a conversation and I didn't want to interrupt. My friend claimed her Irish coffee was sour? And didn't realize cheese came on a side of eggs (she should've checked when she ordered but the server never clarified either). We weren't checked on during the meal until the bill came and by then we just wanted to leave. I ordered the fluffy pancakes and found an egg shell inside. The cracking of eggshells in my mouth made me loose my appetite. We paid (still tipped of course) and left. It was great the first time and mediocre the second time. I prefer consistently in service, especially if I'm waiting an hour to be seated.

We had spent most of the day around Bankers Hill and decided to grab an early dinner at Books & Records. Getting reservations was easy, but from the moment we walked in, the ambiance alone already had us sold. The place was still pretty quiet when we arrived, and to our surprise it was happy hour, so naturally we ordered a bunch of items off the menu along with drinks. Everything was ridiculously good. Not one miss. What really stood out though was the attention to detail. The host brought us a complimentary glass of champagne after hearing we were celebrating our anniversary. Small gesture, big impact. Stuff like that matters. As the night went on, the restaurant filled up, live music started playing, and the whole atmosphere just came alive. Our waiter never rushed us once, which made the experience feel even more intentional and relaxed. We were able to actually enjoy the moment instead of feeling pushed through dinner service. Good food is one thing. Great hospitality is another. This place gave us both. Next time we're in San Diego, we're absolutely making it a point to come back. Lovely spot. Lovely experience.

Dennise seated us and was so kind, she even shared a few of her favorite menu items since it was our first visit. Our server Anelle was great as well.

Cramped and loud, but nicely decorated and serving solid authentic meals. Mexican Latte-9/10: Pretty straightforward. A solid, nostalgic spiced coffee. Mazapan Latte-10/10: A novelty menu item, both nostalgic and tasty. With a sweetened condensed milk rim and mazapan dust, this sweet coffee is a must order. Chilaquiles-10/10: Cocina 35 knows how to throw down the best Mexican breakfast item: the chilaquiles. The Verde was good but didn't pack much heat. The Salsa Secreta was our favorite; a creamy 3-chile salsa with an artichoke flavor, this one packs an enjoyable amount of heat. The Chipotle was another yummy and creamy option, making your nose run but still very enjoyable. Frijoles Puercos-7/10: They were pretty standard. I've definitely had better. They served their purpose as a good side. Concha Rellena-7.5/10: Another creative menu item. Whipped cream and whole strawberries sandwiched between two french toast-style concha halves and drenched in cajeta. It was sweet and warm, but would've been more enjoyable with fresher and/or sliced strawberries. Fun to order, but a regular concha is better suited for enjoying with your coffee. Service-6/10: Again, Cocina 35 gets packed, so service isn't as attentive. Our party had to order and wait for water, ask for refills, call the server over for more orders and again for the bill, and wouldn't speak to us in Spanish. I witnessed other tables be spoken to in Spanish, but upon ordering I'd only be responded to in English. I know I'm a white Mexican, but native tongue is nice when I make it clear I'd like to order in Spanish. Overall, a fun spot with solid menu items. The samplers are pricey but probably the best bang for your buck. They do the classics very well, and are very much worth your visit!

The gravy was also soooo good, just like my mom makes. The sausage in it was also cooked so well and juicy. I've never tried mashed potatoes with the biscuits and gravy but it worked very well! Orange Juice: Not a fan really, not pulpy enough and I wasn't a fan of the flavor. Overall this is definitely a must visit! I will definitely be back.

"Over medium" eggs came barely cooked, still had clear egg gel floating around. The table next to us had the same issue. The fried chicken, which is beautiful looking, was strangely flavorless. Another table was also talking about this issue. Bacon was way overcooked as well. I also really dislike when food timing for a table is way off. I rather it stay in the kitchen under a heat lamp and come together rather that spend 5 minutes staring at my food being polite. So, for a fun "wow that's a ton of food" experience this is it. But I much prefer quality ingredients and attention to detail and flavor over unfinishable portions at a premium price point ($100 after tip for 2 ppl).
