About

Combining a specialty bakery with a full catering and bartending operation, CJ's Catering runs out of a Voltaire Street storefront at 4879 Voltaire that previously housed Stephanie's vegan bakery. Custom-baked quiches in jalapeño, spinach-mushroom, and gluten-free formats anchor the catering menu sent to OB private events including hosted gatherings at the Ocean Beach Woman's Club a few blocks south on Bacon Street. Pecan Sandies, chocolate-dipped peanut butter cookies, baklava, sweet potato pie, and blueberry-pecan pies fill the bakery case for walk-in pickup and pre-order pickup orders. A Wednesday booth at the OB Farmers Market on Newport Avenue serves as the operation's weekly retail outlet, with the kitchen producing fresh quiche and pies for direct-to-public sales. A morning bakery program that overlaps with OB neighbors like Christy's Donuts keeps CJ's in the local breakfast-pastry tier, though the catering side accounts for most of the kitchen's volume. Full-service event catering including bartending — combining the bakery's pastry output with savory hot trays of lasagna, potatoes au gratin, and fresh fruit for weddings and private parties — runs as the operation's most complex revenue stream.
