About Us
A Family Bakery Built on Love & Flour
From our kitchen to your table, every recipe tells a story of family, tradition, and the joy of baking.
Our Passion
Baking Is Our Love Language
At Auntie Lu's, baking isn't just what we do — it's who we are. Every morning before dawn, our ovens warm up and our kitchen fills with the intoxicating aroma of fresh sourdough, golden pastries, and carefully crafted cake pops.
We believe that the best baked goods come from the best ingredients. That's why we source locally whenever possible, using premium flours, real butter, farm-fresh eggs, and seasonal fruits from San Diego's finest suppliers.
From custom wedding cakes that take your breath away to our signature sourdough that keeps customers coming back week after week — every item leaves our kitchen with the same promise: it's made with love.

Ingredients That Make the Difference
We're picky about what goes into our baked goods — because you should be too. Every ingredient is carefully selected for quality, freshness, and flavor.
- Locally-sourced flour from California mills for the perfect texture
- Real butter & cream — never margarine or artificial substitutes
- Farm-fresh eggs from pasture-raised hens
- Zero preservatives — everything is baked fresh to order
What Drives Us
Our Values
Made with Love
Every item is handcrafted with care and attention to detail, just like Auntie Lu taught us.
Quality Ingredients
We source premium, locally-sourced ingredients. No shortcuts, no preservatives, just real food.
Community First
From school fundraisers to local events, we give back to the San Diego community that supports us.
Joy in Every Bite
We believe baked goods should make people smile. That joy drives everything we create.
Community
Proud to Serve San Diego
San Diego isn't just where we bake — it's home. We're proud to be part of this vibrant community and give back whenever we can.
From donating baked goods to local shelters and schools, to participating in farmers' markets across the county, to sponsoring little league teams and community events — we believe in being more than just a bakery.
We've had the honor of serving weddings at the Hotel del Coronado, birthday celebrations in La Jolla, corporate events downtown, and countless family gatherings across every San Diego neighborhood. Each one reminds us why we do what we do.
