I'm so glad I decided to enter this place two years ago. I definitely found the best bread in town. It is also remarkable the friendliness of the employees and the coziness of the new cafe area. I said goodbye to Starbucks ever since I tried this place!
Delicious bread, tasty & unique sweets and pastries, fabulous coffee, friendly and helpful staff, very relaxing and peaceful ambiance
Wow! The cookies, scones, and muffins here are fantastic. The muffin was moist. The cookie was crumbly on the outside but soft and chewy on the inside. The scone was the same, nice and soft on the inside. Everything was so fresh and tasty. It’s now one of my favorite breakfast spots in PB.
I orginally came to Charlie's Best Bread for my never ending search for the best cinnamon rolls. I had heard many people rave about them. I will say their cinnamon roll is amazing but I don't love their icing. I wish they would make a cream cheese icing option! I've been back to try other baked goods. Muffins and cookies. All good but yet to have tried something that I just can't wait to back for. It is always busy and the staff is super friendly! Overall a great bakery just waiting patiently for cream cheese icing 😉

My goodness. I stumbled upon Charlie’s after stopping by the UPS store (next door).
I walked into carb heaven. I was warmly greeted by Milan and let her know it was my first time in. I asked her for her recommendations on sandwiches. She shared a few options but said, “The Tuna Melt is my favorite.” We’ve known each other for at least 30 seconds, so we’ve built a great level of trust. I went with her recommendation and as she prepared the sandwich, my mouth was watering as I was surrounded by mountains of sourdough and amazing jam.
Milan handed me the sandwich and salad. We thanked each other and I headed to my truck. I sat in the parking lot and decided to eat my sandwich there… OH MY GOSH!!! As a carb and sandwich connoisseur, I do not take what I am about to say lightly. This was the best damn sandwich I’ve ever had!!!
The thick-toasted sourdough had the perfect crunch factor while still being soft. The combination of quality tuna and melted Swiss was perfection. The chipotle mayo complimented the sandwich so well adding gentle spice and flavor.
I believe a tear of joy fell out of my eye while enjoying the work of art in my truck. After I finished, I paused for a moment and thought about sharing this experience with my grandkids one day (my kids are still in middle school).
I got out of my truck and walked back in to Charlie’s to share my experience with Milan and the staff. I felt like Buddy the Elf when he congratulated the coffee shop in New York for having the worlds best cup of coffee, (I did see Cafe Moto in Charlie’s which is always awesome).
This was seriously the best sandwich I’ve ever had. I am forever grateful that Charlie’s Best Bread exists. I am thankful for Milan-the artist and the rest of the team for the wonderful service and experience. I will surely be back so you can feed my soul and my stomach.
Keep up the amazing work.
Forever grateful,
Jesse V.
I love the bread and baked goods here! I’ve had several different things here. A few of the things that I’ve had are the cinnamon rolls, the chocolate Biscotti and some cookies as well. The cinnamon rolls are soft and fluffy and are probably the only cinnamon rolls that I don’t mind without some type of icing. The cookies are delicious and my coworkers said that the white chocolate cranberry cookies (not pictured) were the best cookies she’s had anywhere. The chocolate chip cookies are great too! When I went to visit Charlie’s Best Bread yesterday, there were very few cookies in the display case. The reason was they were just coming out of the oven! It was a great start to my day and I look forward to eating their treats. The customer service is also awesome and everything is always clean and organized. Special thanks to Stefanie who has been helpful and friendly on every visit. People like her make a good business great.
Probably the best cookies on planet earth. And they have all sorts of artisan breads, pizza, and sandwiches. Amazing quality , and organic ingredients I believe. Highly recommend
I stopped by last week and they were closed!! Even though it was prime mid morning and they are normally open each day of week! I cannot speak enough good things about this little community coffee/bread place and they even survived the pandemic!! The Challah bread made here and their huge cinnamon rolls and grilled croissant sandwiches that I normally get for my kids for an after school snack are sooo delicious!
When I came last week a security guard told me you had been closed for two weeks already… To the owners what’s happening ?!! Please DON’T close for good! Your raisin challah bread is why I’m here all the time! We miss you!
My favorite hidden gem of PB, you have to get the turkey sandwhich and any of the pastries they make. Have yet to try the challah bread but that's a local favorite. Cafe moto coffee here so quality and properly prepared. Love the staff, Charlie is great and so is his family. Support local!
Humongous and delicious cookies, French pastries and bread. Its one of the best bakeries in PB.

Oh, Charlie's Best Bread, you cheeky little bakery, you had me at 'Hello, would you like a baguette or croissant with that?'
I have seen the promised land, dear reader, and it's located on a charming street in Pacific Beach. Charlie's Best Bread is not just a bakery; it's a symphony of dough, yeast, and a whole lot of baking love.
Now, let's talk about the pièce de résistance – their Sourdough Whole Wheat Loaf. This thing is so dense and hearty it could have its own gravitational field. Eating it is like shaking hands with Mother Earth herself, with the wholesome flavor of whole wheat playing a concerto on my taste buds. The balance of sourdough tang and the comforting, earthy aroma of whole wheat? Perfection.
And croissants – oh, the croissants! They're so flaky, I swear you could tell them a secret and they'd never keep it. I once heard a whisper from the golden layers, "Just surrender to the buttery goodness." So, I did, with each bite a silent oath to my undying love for their crescent-shaped delights.
And the sesame baguette? I've had dreams about this baguette. Each bite gives a satisfying crunch, followed by the comforting hug of fresh, warm bread. The sesame seeds add a final touch, like a well-chosen accessory, elevating the entire ensemble to the runway of gastronomy.
The only problem? Well, Charlie's Best Bread may have ruined all other bread for me forever. Every time I walk by, I hear the soft whispering of the sourdough loaf, the enticing call of the croissants, and the siren song of the sesame baguette.
Dear reader, I tell you this – Charlie's Best Bread isn't just a bakery. It's a breadtopia, a croissant castle, a baguette bonanza! So, go forth and make your day a bit more dough-lightful at this Pacific Beach gem. You won't regret it.
Until the next loaf,
Your fellow Carb Connoisseur

I drove 34 miles to get some challah bread and I was not disappointed. You can also buy round challah if you order a day ahead. Nice shop, perfect bread and outstanding customer service.
