Welcome to Charlie's Best Bread, where quality and craft meet in every loaf. Founded in 1988 by Charlie Hugenbothan, our bakery started as a small storefront in Bird Rock before finding its permanent home on Garnet Avenue in Pacific Beach, San Diego. Our delectable aroma attracted local customers, leading us to expand our reach to grocery stores throughout Southern California.

For nearly three decades, we have been satisfying our loyal customers with our heart-filled and organic breads. Our dedication to using only the most wholesome ingredients ensures that you're receiving the best quality. Bread has always been a universal staple, and our loaves continue to bring people from all backgrounds together.

To meet the growing demand, we opened a larger facility in Logan Heights, producing a variety of fresh bread daily. Our Pacific Beach location houses a wide selection of customer favorites, including Real Sourdough, Nine Whole Grains, and Honey White loaves, as well as various cHallah breads. Indulge in our mouthwatering Almond Tart, Blueberry Banana Muffins, White Chocolate Chip Fudge Cookies, and Raspberry Cream Cheese Scones, all while enjoying the best espresso in town.

As an equal-opportunity employer, we take pride in our diverse team. Our café in Pacific Beach, managed by a Russian native, provides a welcoming environment for everyone. With free WiFi, outdoor seating, and a state-of-the-art coffee bar, our cafe is not just a place to buy bread but a place to connect, make friends, and unwind.
