Izola - S San Diego

We traveled from the California-Oregon border to spend a few days in the San Diego area, and our experience was truly impressive! We ordered our food online, and it didn't take long for it to be ready. We dined in and enjoyed exceptional service, along with the best croissants we've ever tasted! Every aspect was positive! We tried the blackberry chocolate croissant, chocolate almond croissant, everything croissant, morning bun, and the Tahitian vanilla knot, and we were absolutely over the moon with delight!

I can confidently say that this is one of the best bakeries I've ever visited. Their pastries are exceptional, and they offer a wide selection of sourdough breads. My favorites were the plain croissant, which was incredibly buttery, and the morning bun that reminded me of a cinnamon donut. The ambiance is stunning, with plenty of natural light and live music performances. To skip the line, I suggest pre-ordering your food online.

My first visit to Izola was in April, and since then, I've been exclusively getting croissants from there. The freshness of each baked item is truly remarkable, and I've never been disappointed. I love the bakery's open layout, which offers plenty of seating, making it a great spot to enjoy a coffee and pastry, whether alone or with friends. I usually prefer to place my order a few days in advance and pick it up, so I appreciate the designated line for pickup orders, and they also offer the option to have your order delivered to your car outside. I recently discovered that there’s live music on Saturday mornings, so I’m excited to visit again and experience that. If you’re a fan of pastries, especially croissants and sourdough bread, Izola is definitely a place you shouldn't miss.

The best croissant I’ve ever had!! Its so crispy outside and so soft inside!! I went to try croissant once and had to go back everyday I was in SD. I tried the everything croissant and Moroccan Black Olive Chocolate Croissant and they were both so delicious. I also took sourdough back home with me which was also so good! I can’t wait to try it again when I visit SD!!

Absolutely loved it! To start off love their store the ambience is unique very big city downtownish vibe. Very bright and inviting. Staff is friendly. Laid back atmosphere great for hanging out. And finally the croissants.... yes amazing!! Must try for everyone in San Diego. World class croissants. But be sure to ore order because many are sold out on the same day so pre order online day before to ensure you get what you want. Ofcourse as with most speciality restaurants these days expect to pay a hefty price for the croissants :
