NOT JUST BREAKFAST
Somewhere along the way, people decided croissants were just for mornings.
We politely disagree.
Lunch at IZOLA is where things get a little more unexpected.
The Bibimbap Croissant — filled with bulgogi beef marinated in all kinds of good stuff like Asian pear, onion, garlic, brown sugar, and sesame oil. We add fresh vegetables like daikon radish and zucchini, all brought together with our housemade bibimbap sauce. This is what takes it over the top — the punch from kimchi, sharpness from scallion and garlic, a little heat from gochujang, and just a touch of sweetness from maple syrup. The croissant somehow holds it all together like it was always meant to be this way.
The Carnitas Croissant — slow-cooked, deeply savory pork with bright, citrusy notes that cut through the richness just right. Finished with chopped onions, a charred lime, and a dash of Cholula, it hits the spot.
The Muffuletta Croissant — inspired by the legendary New Orleans sandwich, layered with three types of pork, provolone cheese, and that signature olive salad — briny, bold, and unapologetically satisfying. All wrapped in our black Beldi olive croissant. It’s like a charcuterie plate tucked into an IZOLA croissant. Yum, yum, yum.
And the Everything Croissant — sesame, poppy, garlic, onion...simple on paper, but somehow exactly what you’re craving.
It’s flaky, it’s messy (in the best way), it’s deeply satisfying.Not quite a sandwich. Not quite anything else.
Just lunch, the IZOLA way.
And now that the Easter and spring break rush has passed, there’s a little more space to linger. Sit outside in the warm San Diego sun, share something across the table, and let the morning stretch into afternoon.
If you like to plan ahead, pre-ordering is a great way to have your favorites ready and waiting when you arrive. In a rush? Just give us a call and we’ll bring your order out to you — we call it IZOLA Drive By.
