Rolling Out Cafe
690 1st Ave, San Diego, CA
Crema's Take
“Rolling Out Cafe is a hidden gem where pastry chef Bruno crafts uncommonly good croissants and inventive laminated creations like blueberry mochissants that taste far better than their modest prices suggest. Recently relocated from the Bay Area, this downtown spot blends Asian-inspired bakery items with traditional café drinks in a casual, no-fuss streetside setting that invites lingering with your coffee and something flaky and perfect. The devotion in reviews speaks volumes—people don't just return, they plan their San Diego trips around it.”
What to expect
Specialty coffee. Slow-sit spot. Pastries on the menu.

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…
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…
