Mi Pan Artisan Bakery opened its first storefront at 6435 Mission Gorge Road, with a grand opening starting Oct. 7 that includes extended hours and a full menu, Times of San Diego reported. Regular hours are daily from 8 a.m. to 2 p.m., or until sold out.

Husband and wife Alejandro Gomez and Alejandra Ruelas run the bakery. Gomez began baking in 2020 after losing his job, and the couple sold sourdough and banana bread at farmers markets in Little Italy and Chula Vista before moving to a commercial space. San Diego Magazine reported on the Mission Gorge location earlier this year.

The menu centers on French-style baking, including almond croissants, sourdough cookies called Las Cukies and canelés, with seasonal items such as pan de muerto and Italian panettone. Times of San Diego says Oaxacan mole sourdough and Argentine medialunas are planned.
