Bread and Cheese Eatery And Breakfast Burritos Expanding to Santee

Grilled cheese experts Bread and Cheese Eatery And Breakfast Burritos are getting ready to expand with a new location is coming to Santee at 9470 Cuyamaca Street, Suite J .

The company recently submitted documents to open a second location in a busy Food4Less-anchored shopping center across the street from a massive outdoor complex that includes a Sportsplex USA and Cameron Family YMCA. Co-owner Justin Frank tells What Now San Diego that they expect to open the new location around September 2024 . When it opens, it will be a dual-concept restaurant where Bread and Cheese Eatery And Breakfast Burritos will operate under the same roof.

The expansion is impressive for Justin Frank and his business partner Devin Gneitling , who started as a food tent at the North Park Farmers Market in late 2017. The two were inspired to launch the company after seeing vendors doing well at a music festival and launched the business three months later. During the time that followed, the duo saw a lot of growth and started 2020 with two brands, five mobile operations, and two brick-and-mortar locations before COVID-19.

Unfortunately, COVID got the best of the two brick-and-mortar restaurants, but Bread and Cheese came out stronger in 2021, landing the concessionaire contract for the Moonlight Amphitheatre from the City of Vista. In October of 2023, they opened a dual-concept restaurant in Oceanside at 1904 South Coast Highway, adding a breakfast concept that focuses just on breakfast burritos called “And Breakfast Burritos.” Today, the owners are looking to expand their brick-and-mortar locations while continuing to cater and, eventually, franchise.
