QUALITY CHECK!
Here we are at the end of a 4-day journey for our croissants. As our croissants are coming out of our amazing Salva ovens, our superstar Bake team will perform a Quality Check (QC) on the bake. The team is looking to identify any croissants that might be undersized, improperly proofed, or don't meet our aesthetic requirements. Our QC cards empower our team members by removing any subjectivity from the check - they can size the croissant against the sizing chart, check for a color match on the bake, and they'll also cut into random samples throughout the day to check the proof.
This chocolate croissant looks perfectly proofed with its lacy, honeycomb interior. Mmmm.....Pillowy delightfulness!
Did you know that our croissants and sourdough bread are always served hot from the oven? That means we bake in small batches the whole time we're open, so you can experience the freshest croissants and sourdough, no matter what time you visit us. A croissant still hot from the oven?? Life changing.
OPEN 7 DAYS A WEEK
7a - 2p
In a rush and have a pre-order? Just call us at the bakery when you arrive, and we'll bring your order out to your car with a smile! We call it IZOLA Drive By.
Thank you to Gareth for stopping by IZOLA and featuring us in his compilation of some of San Diego's bakeries. Gareth and I had a lot of fun eating pastries and telling stories.
We're extremely fortunate here in San Diego to have so many innovative bakeries. In the East Village, we have ASA Bakery and Hinar as our neighbors, and soon Relic Bageri too. Let's create an official "Bakery District," complete with a bakery crawl.
We love the video and all the new people who learned about IZOLA from Gareth. If you stopped by this Memorial Day weekend and got caught up in the throngs of people visiting us, sorry for the line down the block and for running out of everything. We loaded our proofers with absolutely everything we could make.
We had a couple of sell-out days, and to those who may not have had a chance to try our croissants and sourdough, thank you for your understanding. I hope you'll visit us soon. The pro tip? Place a pre-order ahead of time, and we'll have it ready for ya. (and the pro-pro tip: use the promo code "FAMILY" for 20% off your 1st preorder.)
And thanks to our absolutely rockstar IZOLA team for pushing hard... our team fulfilled one order every minute this Sunday.....for 7 hours straight! 🤯 You're bringing so much joy to our community, thank you team!
