Could barely stop myself from buying everything in the display because they all looked so beautiful and tasty. Was hesitant about rhubarb flavor as I have never tried it before but their rhubarb cruffin and tart was so flavorful and surprisingly sweet. The lox toast was fresh and the bread was toasted perfectly. The apple and brie toast combination made for a unique yet delicious balance of flavor. Will definitely be coming back!

Strawberry & goat cheese danish, tomato danish, pb&j croiffin

This was a recommendation from a friend of a friend who lives here and it very much feels like the "if you know, you know" type of local spot. We got there around 9am on a Sunday and there was a short line that moved quickly. Everything in the pastry case looked delicious. We got a tomato danish, a strawberry and goat cheese danish, and a peanut butter & jelly croiffin. The croiffin was the highlight of the show, the peanut butter cream wasn't dry at all and the pastry was crispy but not too flaky! There are a few seats inside and small tables outside, but I think it's mainly a takeaway spot.

Amazing pastries at this small bakery! They sell out fast, so make sure you come early. They have pastries that are staples and others that are seasonal. We loved the fresh fruit added to the pastries! The service was great! A customer accidentally dropped their pastry and they were nice enough to give them another one. Restrooms are sound back. Plenty of parking in the area.

This bakery is so cute and everything is so fresh. We came on a Sunday morning and there was a line, but that's how you know it's good. They have classic pastries/desserts but also some unique ones like basque cheesecake, yuzu & matcha pavlova, flan, and more. The store is small with a few indoor and outdoor seats. I would love to come back to try their pizzas on a Monday night! ig: @cravingswithcat

Almond croissant, chocolate eclair, and mushroom danish

We had high hopes for this bakery and we weren't let down. Good flavor and lamination on the almond croissant. The chocolate eclair was good, but not mind blowing. The real stand out is the mushroom danish!

Cinnamon Roll, Mushroom Brie Danish, and Espresso

This is our absolute favorite bakery in SLO County and there are tons of good ones around here! We love everything we've had to date whether it's sweet or savory. Their pastries, chocolate, and other baked items are always balanced with the perfect amount of sweetness and hand made to impress from a visual standpoint as well. We've always had friendly service when we've dropped in. Smaller space that they do a good job of keeping the line moving at. Special shout out for their coffee offerings and pizza Monday's as well. The pizzas we had were superb with a phenomenal crust. Always worth the trip to Los Osos to head here for literally anything they make! Thanks Tim and team.

These were the flakiest croissants I've ever had! The almond croissant was my absolute favorite - perfectly balanced with just the right amount of sweetness and a delightfully crisp, golden exterior. The service was equally impressive - friendly and welcoming. After this experience, I completely understand why there's a line out the door.

Danishes

The best bakery in the county, if not the state. Period. The line out the door speaks for itself. The staff are happy and kind. Try literally anything seasonal, it'll blow your mind! And great pizza on Mondays. If only they were open 24/7...

Butter croissant
Tian W.

A solid croissant, but my favorite by far was the canelé. I loved how much structure it had while still keeping a custardy interior! No crazy flavors or anything but a solid canelé that is the best by default. A bit out of the way but well worth the drive if you're passing through the area.

Fig & Walnut Danish

See all

Everything I've tried here has been exquisite. The pizza is amazing and the salmon breakfast toast was sooooo good.

Caliwala - Inside the bread shop

Came in on the weekend and barely missed the growing line. Cute little house store-front and small…read moreshop inside. Tables and seating outside if you wanted to enjoy your baked goods there. I purchased the pain au levain, in lieu of a baguette, for $12. The price is pretty steep for a loaf, but seems to be the going rate for these smaller boutique bake shops. The bread itself was warm when I purchased it, which was awesome. Enjoyed it with my coffee, but did find it to be a little doughy on the inside. Good flavor, but not something I would come back for. I'd rate it a solid 3.5. I also purchased the chocolate chip cookies. I think I completely went brain dead when I bought these, because I did read they were gluten-free and vegan, but still bought the pack of 6. Man, they looked like chocolate chip cookies, but didn't taste like chocolate to me, at all. For a regular chocolate chip cookie lover, it's a 1 star. For someone looking for a gluten-free and vegan cookie, this could be a winner. Maybe.

Hello! You had me at absolutely charming!…read more First of all, I've never been to Morro Bay and it was probably the only torrential rainy day in a Century. Being from Seattle, I'm nothing but used to the rain. But this little visit to the bakery warmed my heart. As we drove to the bakery we stopped at Morro Rock, , so I could actually see the amazing 23 million year old monolith. So fun to see the surfers out there! As we started driving into a neighborhood to get to the basket, I was like, "What? Am I going to Gramma's house?" And then, we pull into the freaking cutest little beach house with a garden that made the bleakest day make you feel like sunshine and rainbows. Upon entry, the baked spices and smells blow your olfactories! Yummm! We felt the young lady was very overwhelmed with all the baking!! And maybe our dumbfoundedness was overwhelming. Or maybe I was overwhelmed with so many amazing options and goodies!! She had just pulled something out of the oven. We ordered lemon curd and raspberry tarts, brownies, curry croissants, ham and cheese croissant, french onion soup croissant and some other cookie that someone snuck in on the sly. Sadly, there was no seating there, so we had to take everything to go. Luckily we were only 10 min away. Everything was epically delicious. Especially the flaky curry croissants!!!! They really know how to do it!!! If we had more time we would try their bread. I can't imagine what this place is like when it's peak season but it must be crazy! It is a must visit!!!

They are so sweet! We visited Morro Bay for the first time and I was so pleased with the food, we went back 3 more times!!! Everything is super fresh and the flavors were great! Coffee was delicious!! I highly recommend and I will tell you, now we have a regular place to go when we visit because WE WILL BE BACK!! We had the breakfast croissant sandwiches, the lattes, the fresh homemade soups (wow) with the fresh baguette!! So delicious! I literally took a dozen little red velvet cake pops and little cakes home with me... just delicious!! It gets packed in there but the service is great and well worth it!

I will be back to try the cheeseburger!! The Apple brioche was beautiful but way too big. The Blackberry Cream Cheese Danish was messy and hardly any cream cheese. The Chocolate Croissant was good. Iced Mocha was OK. Turkey sandwich on croissant was really heavy, not much to write home about though. Caramel Oatmeal cookie good. Raisin Oatmeal was really good. Chocolate Chip Oatmeal crumbled. Almond Oatmeal was OK. Friendly folks, got a handicapped place right in front. They are open until 3:00.
