Bread & Cie Bakery & Café

HILLCREST / BALBOA PARK. Start the day at Bread and Cie with a bowl of homemade granola, or a blackberry-banana muffin and a cup of gourmet coffee. At lunch, the humble sandwich goes upscale, with combinations like roast beef, horseradish cream, watercress and orange-marinated red cabbage on sourdough, and pesto, gouda, tomato and arugula on levain. Regulars return for sweet treats, too, like brownies, lemon-ginger or pecan-apricot scones, and chocolate chip or oatmeal walnut cookies.
