Got a grilled cheese and vanilla latte. The cheese was poor quality considering the price of the sandwhich and the latte was powdery. Would not recommend this place. Don’t have any plans to return.

Humongous and delicious cookies, French pastries and bread. Its one of the best bakeries 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 ????

I got a “Real Sourdough” loaf and, firstly, most of their loaves are pre-sliced in 1/2”slices (-1 star) and the bread tasted like dry white bread, like it wasn’t even trying to be sourdough (-1 star). 3 stars because I am nice & their scones look real good (but maybe also too big?). Not sure what this place is but a confused bakery and my disappointment in San Diego bread lives on… (so far Hommage is the best on the coast between OB & La Jolla but always sells out early).

Most of the staff are very nice and the coffee is amazing, I really like their pizza slices and croissants. However I can’t leave the full 5 stars one of their newer staff members attempted to charge for a little extra half and half splash on coffee the coffee is decently price above the average price for a regular brewed coffee cup. I been to many coffee shops and none of them ever charge to add a little extra half and half. She look at me expecting me to settle for that tab but I wouldn’t and was ready to take my business to Starbucks where they gracefully add and steam the extra halt and half at not additional charge. She eventually change my tab but look upset for not being able to enforce her additional fee which none of the other employee have previously charge in the past. I believe better customer service should be acknowledged because I get more for my money at chain businesses but I like to support local family own businesses.

Charlie's is simply the best. The service is always helpful, quick, efficient, and kind. I go there 2-3 times/week and never am I waiting longer than 10 minutes, even when it's super busy.
In terms of the product. The real sourdough bread is my go to and I have tried sourdough from multiple bakers in the area and they don't touch charlie's. Now onto the Scones, these things are delightful. Filling, fun to eat, not too sweat. Just perfect. Finally the Oatmiilk Latte. I will drive past 10 coffee shops all that I have tried for Charlies. Another product they just do better than anyone else around this area. Love this place. Keep it up Charlie's. I appreciate 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!

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.

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.
