"Expert baker Crystal White leads this small-batch bakery in Bird Rock with iconic bread and pastries, starting the first batch at 3:30 a.m. every morning. Sandwiches are served daily (its popular breakfast sandwiches are available for weekly pre-order), pizza is available on weekend nights, and a taco pop-up is available on Tuesday nights. Don’t leave the counter without tasting Wayfarer’s legendary salted chocolate chip cookie. The space, while small, is still ideal for a quick daytime meet-up with friends." - Candice Woo, Helen I. Hwang, Eater Staff
"Known for its stellar breads and pastries, this Bird Rock bakery’s take on pizza is equally terrific. Find a monthly meat-topped pizza and a seasonal vegetarian pie offered alongside classic cheese and pepperoni; due to demand, pizzas must be pre-ordered for pickup between 4:30 p.m. and 8 p.m. on Fridays and Saturdays, To round out the meal, take home a salad made with local greens and some pizza-friendly wine, beer, or cider." - Darlene Horn, Candice Woo
"When it set up shop in the quiet coastal community of Bird Rock in 2018, Wayfarer brought the beach its first real-deal bakery. Established by owner and master baker Crystal White, the takeout-only spot has become a destination for its flaky pastries sweetened with local produce and sturdy-crusted loaves made from heirloom grains." - Candice Woo, Helen I.

"This Bird Rock destination bakery focuses on small batches of artisan bread and pastries. Working with ingredients from Chino Farms and other local purveyors, the menu changes regularly with the season. Almond croissants and chocolate cherry scones are must-tries." - Helen I. Hwang, Candice Woo
