Wayfarer Bread & Pastry
5525 La Jolla Blvd, La Jolla, CA
Crema's Take
“Wayfarer Bread & Pastry is a beloved La Jolla bakery where the pastries are so exceptional they've reportedly inspired life-changing decisions—think chocolate croissants and kumquat cream Danish so good they justify relocating to San Diego. The independent spot earns its stellar reputation through meticulous craftsmanship; reviewers rave that pastries taste even better the next day, and the weekend selection is particularly worth the inevitable wait. Fair warning: parking is tricky and mornings get genuinely crowded, but locals and visitors alike consistently agree the quality makes every minute in line worthwhile.”
What to expect
Specialty coffee. A slow-sit spot, outdoor seating. Pastries and light food on the menu. Family friendly.

I went to try it as it is recommended as one or the best bakery in San Diego. On the weekends it is very crowded so I went during the week. There were pastries and veggie sandwich. I chose cinnamon loaf. I paid 8.64$ . The loaf was not too sweet. There was nice amount of…
We’ve been here several times, and the best selection is definitely on weekends. Yes, you’ll likely have to stand in line in the morning - but it’s absolutely worth it. Amazing almond croissant, a bun with their signature passion fruit jam, and a really solid matcha ❤️ One of…
