Cinnamon roll
Michelle K.

I first discovered David and the Sourdough and Moore name at the Mission Valley farmers market. His bagels, small loafs and regular loafs are all delicious. They have a great crust and are soft and chewy on the inside. I've gotten the spicy jalapeño habanero cheddar, rosemary garlic, roasted garlic, caramelized onion, original - you really can't go wrong with any choice. Already a big fan of his breads, I love the addition of pastry options at the storefront. The cinnamon roll is huge and fluffy and filling. This time I decide to try one of the sandwiches, which was on a sourdough baguette. I was really excited for the one I picked (the Sicilian, which had eggplant, turkey and other yummy fixings ) only to be sorely disappointed when I opened it later to find out they had given me the wrong sandwich despite being rung up for the one I had asked for. I'm sure an honest mistake, but a reminder to check your order before you leave! Otherwise, a great place. It does get busy on the weekends. Like others have said, it's delicious but be prepared to spend a penny! It's worth it!

No line around 11 am on a Fri, and plenty of breads and pastries remained in this small storefront. We chose the parm & artichoke small loaf, the lemon herb large loaf, an apple cider donut and a giant peach cobbler cinnamon roll. The rosemary lemon sourdough had an assertive flavor whereas the parm/artichoke mini loaf was rather bland and could have benefited from a more pronounced tang. The cinnamon roll was loaded with sweet icing as well as peach and cinnamon flavor - it was fairly moist. The donut was decent, not really memorable.

Daddy-daughter breakfast dates are becoming a tradition, and this spot was a W!! My daughter grabbed the strawberry split croissant and that thing was MASSIVE crispy on the outside, soft and dense inside, and she was loving every bite. I went with the OG sourdough cinnamon roll. I took it home, threw it in the air fryer... LORD HAVE MERCY!!! Crispy edges, warm center, and everyone in the family kept sneaking bites. I should've bought two. The shop is tucked away in OB, wasn't too busy when we went, had plenty of parking, and the service was awesome. If you're a sourdough fan or just want a legit pastry, don't sleep on this place!!

Came here for the first time to see if it was worth the hype. In summation: all solid and tasty but oof be prepared to pay a pretty penny. We went on a Saturday around 10am. There was a line but it went by pretty fast. Don't think we waited more than 10 minutes. On the way in are shelves that feature some of their baked items you can take home such as focaccia and bread loaves (small and large which is cool as I haven't seen mini versions elsewhere). They also had premade sandwiches and baguettes in the case up front along with their baked goods. From bagels, croissants, donuts, etc looks like they had a bit of everything. We tried their chocolate chip cookie (6 dollars) first. This was my least favorite as it's super decadent and sweet. Every bite I had I thought I was biting into chocolate not cookie dough sprinkled with chocolate. Not my favorite type (but that's just preference) but chocolate lovers will adore this. Then we got gluten free brown apple cider doughnuts (5 for one). This was my favorite thing we got. Ooey gooey and very flavorful, although small. We also got one of their cinnamon rolls as I was told it was one of the best ones in SD. You can ask for them to warm it up for you so I highly recommend doing that. It was HUGE, fluffy, and tasty. The frosting was REALLY sweet so you should definitely share this with 2+ people. Was it the best I've had in SD? No but it was hella good and top 5. We also got a loaf of their sourdough bread. We asked them to cut it and they did that which was great. The exterior was a bit crunchy and the inside was dense but on the softer side. We enjoyed it with sandwiches as it had structure but if you want super soft and fluffy go with a different option. But my favorite was the focaccia we got. Fluffy. Savory. Sweet. Olive oil-y but not too oily. 15/10. I started to wonder what I could make to compliment it instead of it being a compliment to a main dish. The interior is super small with only a few tables. They have utensils over the trash can so I think this place is meant for a grab and go to the beach type of joint. It's OB so that's the right vibe. It looks like at one point they did coffees but it was crossed out when we went. It's on the main drag so there is parking but as the day wears on note that that becomes more time consuming. I'll def be back for the focaccia and maybe a loaf of bread but the portion sizes (and super sweet tooth-y-ness) and the fact that everything is expensive as hell may mean that's all I get on my return.

I remember first trying Sourdough & Moore at the Civita Farmers Market. They stood out because they make small, mini sized sourdough loves. For a small household, these are absolutely perfect and the best way to get your bread fix without knowing you're going to waste half the loaf. I'm so glad they transitioned to a brick and mortar location in OB that's popping! They still serve up their classic sourdough loaves in all sizes. I love the variety of flavors and that they also make the loaves of all sizes in the various flavors as well! Beyond the sourdough loaves, they are serving up some mega delicious sweet treats! At this point, you've had to have seen the viral cinnamon rolls. These giant cinnamon rolls are so delicious! Each bite is moist, soft and perfect! Great frosting to roll ratio. They also have a whole spread of other sweets like croissants, cookies, banana bread and babka. Everything is excellent! They also sell coffee drinks with some indoor seating available to enjoy. Well worth the visit!

The famous cinnamon rolls

Met a friend here to catch up and was pleasantly surprised there wasn't a massive line after reading all the reviews. Service wasn't the best not much of a warm welcome. The cashier was pretty much going through the motions. I ordered the breakfast tile. I thought they would have warmed it up when I ordered it or even offered to warm it up but nope just shoved it in the bag and moved on to the next person. Kinda disappointing. The tile itself was good. I enjoyed the sweet and saltiness of the ingredients. The sharp cheddar was a nice addition, it would have been nice melted a bit. The space itself has a small sitting area and a couple tables in the side walk. Overall nice spot to check out but the pricing and service isn't worth it for me.

Best to get here early on Sundays!

OK second visit to this brick & mortar store today. They open at 7 AM, we got there at 6:55 AM and there was already a line of people! That's how you know when something is truly legit. Getting here early is definitely worth it. They had such a huge variety of pastries and breads, so much more than on my last visit. I still think it's crazy that they were running out of everything before noon but I guess now I see why, when they've already got a line at the door before they open. We just got a couple of standard sourdough flavors, but the variety of pastries available blew my mind. I'm trying to cut out simple sugar for the next couple weeks, but as soon as I am eating pastries again, I will be there at the crack of dawn. That raspberry and white chocolate, scone, the guava and cheese pastry, and the Caprese pastry tile were all singing to me.

Farmers Market Selection :)

I got to check out Sourdough and Moore at the Mission Valley farmers market and even had the opportunity to meet David Moore! He was running their bread tent, and his counterpart was running their bagel tent. Both were so sweet,, and when I asked about their story, they couldn't help but get excited and want to share about their journey. As for the goodies, we ended up trying their ube sourdough bagel (yes! They use REAL ube) and rosemary garlic sourdough bread. Ube sourdough bagel - I wish I could capture this scent in a candle. It was surprisingly fragrant with those coconut, vanilla notes but not overpowering. Rosemary garlic sourdough loaf - I mean how can you go wrong with this combo. Very fragrant as well, nice sturdy crust, soft interior ... delicious! The only thing I wish they had at the farmers markets were their cinnamon rolls. I'd love to see a sourdough cinnamon roll!

Bread

All I'm sayin is that as advertised, this place has great sourdough bread. I'm a big fan of making sandwiches, and sourdough bread is hard to beat when making them, went to this place yesterday and I gotta say it didn't disappoint, there is such a wide selection of different sourdough bread here which surprised me, and was such a cool thing to see, I personally got the lemon seasoned one and it was a banger choice, if you want some quality sourdough bread this is a top choice place.

Raspberry White Chocolate Scone
Ashley M.

Literally the best sourdough bread I've had in San Diego. You have to order the Rosemary Lemon Zest sourdough loaf; it goes with everything. My other favorite is the Dark Chocolate Walnut loaf. Warm it up and put some peanut butter and/or banana on it; you'll thank me later. The coffee is not great, but the bread and pastries are so good that it doesn't matter. Get to the storefront early; a line builds quickly and they sell out fast.

Sea salt bagel
Soo H.

I read Sourdough & Moore had a 100 year old starter and was interested in tasting it.  There is a good variety of baked items to choose from. Rosemary Lemon Zest Sourdough Bread had an interesting combination of flavors.  I liked the outer crust which was harder than Hawaiian bread but not as hard as a baguette.  It contrasted with the silky insides.  A really good bread. Butter croissant had a thin crunchy outer layer and silky smooth inside.  Loved the buttery flavor. Baguette was quite different than the French baguettes I'm use to.  The crust didn't have a crunchy layer and the flavor was light sourdough.  Very tasty. Sea salt bagel is the first sourdough bagel I've had.  Texture was dense like other bagels I've tried.  The sourdough flavor with the light sea salt combined to result in one of the best bagels I've had.  This is my favorite treat here so far. Small round sourdough had the same delicious flavor as the baguette.  I do prefer the crust of the baguette. Staff was nice and efficient. In the old days my mom and brother would take me fishing off the Ocean Beach Pier a couple blocks away.  Sadly the pier is closed and scheduled for replacement.  Would have been great if Sourdough & Moore was around back then.

Sourdough loaves!
Diane S.

Talk about consistency!!! This bakery has it all...exceptional baked goods from their signature sourdough loaves to cookies just the BEST food for the soul! Every item is watched over by well trained sous chefs. The line moves efficiently and with a smile! It's a small cafe space but taking items home or to sit at the beach and enjoy with an espresso drink is a mini vacation all by yourself! Prices are so fair for what you get! Ocean Beach is fortunate to have David Moore the owner living close by and so are we!!

I completely understand the hype that is Sourdough & Moore. Before my AM workout, I came to Sourdough & Moore, I had seen that there were really long lines but I was actually really lucky. The cafe just opened and I was probably within the first 10 people in the cafe. I was a little taken a back on the costs, especially in OB but I thought it was worth it. I ended up ordering the original cinnamon roll, chocolate babka and ham and cheese croissant, my total was a little over $30 but was it worth it yes. My husband and I didn't get to try the pastries until after I got back from the gym and it was the perfect little morning treat. The ham and cheese croissant was perfectly flaky and butter so good, the chocolate babka was tender and not too sweet, I really appreciate that. The star was definitely the cinnamon roll, my husband is the center kind of guy and I a definitely the outer kinda girl so it was really easy to share. I definitely want to try the carrot cake version, I love carrot cake but their OG cinnamon roll is the best I have ever had! Definitely would come back, I would suggest coming really early in the morning when there is ample parking and less of a line.

I'd give Blue Palm Coffee Shop a solid 4/5. I really enjoy this place--the staff is great, the food…read moreis delicious, and the service is consistently excellent. I'd love to give them that fifth star because the overall experience is really good, but there are a couple of things that could be improved. Investing in a proper central cooling system would make the space much more comfortable, especially during warmer days. I'd also recommend addressing the fly issue, which has become pretty noticeable and takes away from an otherwise great experience. Aside from those concerns, I genuinely love this place and will definitely keep coming back!

Blue Palm Coffee -- Absolutely Worth the Wait!…read more Had a great experience at Blue Palm Coffee this morning! I had the pleasure of talking with the owner and found out they use Onyx Coffee, which tells you they take their coffee seriously! My wife ordered an oat milk latte, and I went with the pour-over. WOW! Both were excellent, with amazing flavors. If you appreciate quality coffee, this place is definitely worth checking out. Great coffee is worth waiting for, and Blue Palm delivered! I also ordered the breakfast burrito, and it was fantastic! Packed with flavor and a generous portion size. It was the perfect addition to an already great morning. Between the quality of the coffee, the delicious food, and getting to chat with the owner, this place made a great impression on us. Definitely worth the wait, and we'll be back! Highly recommend Blue Palm Coffee to anyone who appreciates great coffee and a delicious breakfast!
