"Stopped by for brunch with a friend. The menu is just big enough to not be overwhelmed while also offering a great variety of sweet and savory items. We got a pistachio croissant, mango cheese danish, almond croissant, and jalapeño turkey croissants. No complaints regarding the pastries as they were flakey, fresh, and not too sweet! We also got the breakfast croissant which was perfect to share. The sandwich itself was yummy though a tad heavy from the garlic aioli (I would get it on the side next time). We also got a hot chai latte and a hot rose chai latte since we heard the chai was made in-house. I would not recommend either of these drinks as they mostly just tasted like milk. Service is notable and wonderful. Seating area upstairs has a nice and welcoming atmosphere."

"@obriensbakerysd has such a cozy vibe that perfectly matches the holiday season. The food was delicious—I loved my avocado toast, and the idea of offering three different kinds of toast is such a fun touch. Highly recommend stopping by if you’re in the Poway area!"

"Perfect spot for breakfast or brunch, whether you’re coming alone or with friends. The menu offers plenty of creative dishes that will keep you delighted, all enjoyed in a spacious and beautifully decorated setting. The selection of baked goods and desserts is endless—tempting treats that are almost impossible to name. Morning cocktails, tasting flights, specialty coffee, and a full range of beverages make the experience even more complete. On the second floor, where the main dining area is located, you can watch the team bake their signature breads. There’s ample parking, and the outdoor dining area with tents creates a relaxing atmosphere for sunny days. It’s also a great place for remote workers or digital nomads: plenty of comfortable tables by the windows, perfect for working without feeling bored. A house coffee paired with one of their signature pastries or cakes is the ideal fuel for productivity."

"We visited our kids who live in Poway and found this place on Labor Day. It's a gem! We were surprised to find this place next to all the office buildings. All the breakfast / brunch items were really delicious. Their pastries look inviting (apricot, mango danish, and croissants). We also liked the high ceiling seating area."

"Had to post a huge THANK YOU to O'Brien's for our Thanksgiving meal. This year we decided to buy the holiday meal from them, it came with very clear instructions, beautifully packaged, and I have to say, one of the best turkey dinners and sides I've had in my long life. Turkey was moist, the whole house smelled of rosemary. Yams, mashed potatoes/gravy, brussel sprouts, stuffing, rolls. It was the best pumpkin pie I've ever tasted (I'm not a pumpkin fan but I had to try it). The extra apple pie we ordered was amazing. We weren't sure on our head count with schedules, which was why we decided to try this meal. We thought maybe 7, but ended up with 11, but it was enough and we had leftovers. This was going to be a one time decision, but the food was so delicious we are talking about doing it again next year. 😁 If so, we get extra mashed potatoes and stuffing in case we get extra people again. We go to O'Brien's for their breakfast (they've got a good burrito) and espresso scone. They have great desserts. Just wanted to post a thank you though on the EXCELLENT holiday meal. It along with the incredible San Diego weather with great people made this Thanksgiving especially wonderful."
