Our Story

Baked from scratch,
served with soul

The Rooftop started with a simple conviction: that the best bread is made slowly, with the finest ingredients, and shared generously. Nestled in San Diego's vibrant Little Italy neighborhood, we've built a space where the aroma of fresh sourdough meets a thoughtfully curated market.

Every morning, our bakers arrive before dawn to shape loaves, fold butter into laminated dough, and prepare the pastries you'll find on our counters. We partner with local farms for our dairy and eggs, and source specialty grains and pantry staples from producers we know by name.
