Champagne Bakery - S San Diego

The best bakery in the area between Poway and San Bernardo. They serve coffee by the cup, something rare. The staff is very polite and attentive.

Sitting in a window seat, bathed in the afternoon sun, enjoying the yummy mixed fruit tart and coffee, was a great experience. Parking: Parking depends on the hours. There are quite a few small shops around, on site parking might not be available. There is a large parking lot a few steps away for trader joe's.

They have good food, although not all of it is great. For instance, they rotate specialty items like Ahi Tuna salads, Dungeness Crab sandwiches and salads. I highly recommend sticking to the more simple things like their turkey sandwiches, and other basic menu items. This isn't the place to be getting seafood. The kitchen there is very basic and there isn't a 5-star chef doing the cooking. Stick to regular menu items and anything in the pastry case, and you'll be fine. The service here is just sort of ok. They don't seem to have a great passion for what they are doing. Although, they do seem to expect tips.

Ordered a tuna sandwich to-go. The bread was stale, lettuce was brown (nearly spoiled) and tomatoes were soggy. Ordered potato salad as a side they were out. And didn’t have any forks for the order; they they’ve been out since the weekend. Bummer experience overall.
