I really don't have anything negative to say about this place... oh wait, I do have one small thing – it's a bit too far from me! 😁😁😁 But whenever I'm in the Hillcrest area, I always make it a point to stop by. Their bread 🥪🍞🥪🍞 is just always so fresh and delicious!

Bread & Cie is truly a local gem! I don’t know how they do it, but every time I walk through the doors of this place I feel like all my problems melt away. They’ve got amazing breads, pastries, and desserts, but I’ve recently loved coming in for a hearty lunch. I love the half sandwich/half soup option they have. The tomato soup is amazing! Their chicken salad sandwiches are also one of my favorites. They have plenty of seating whether you’re solo or with a larger group. They also have a parking lot in the back that offers one hour free while you’re in the restaurant which is great.

Locals love this place, so I checked it out. There is a line on Saturday mornings. I love the Saturday special -- fougassé for $8.95, which can be shared by 2-3 people. I also like my home-squeezed grapefruit juice. Highly recommended. Definitely going back.

My friend and I came to Bread & Cie for breakfast today. I’ve been here once before but it was years ago. We ordered an imported mozzarella sandwich, avocado toast with poached eggs, and orange juice, and a watermelon lemonade. Everything was really fresh and used high-quality ingredients. The sandwich bread was soft and pillowy, and the olive tapenade and mozzarella played off of each other perfectly. The avocado on the toast was perfectly ripe and super tasty. The watermelon lemonade was amazing! It was so good I want to make it at home. They bake their own bread here, which explains the elevated bread on their plates. The store is busy, a bit loud, and the surrounding parking lots are paid (one is $2/hr, another $6/hr). But it’s still a worthwhile spot, since they take so much care making their dishes and drinks. Totally recommend!

Great breakfast/Brunch options in the heart of Hillcrest, parking might be trouble, however well worth it. The seasonal berry crepe was really good, and the Ham & Eggs Benedict banquet hit the spot as far as taste and volume. And service was very fast.
