Tartine Bakery

This is a cute and small bakery located in San Fransisco where they mainly serve croissants, cold and hot sandwiches and desserts such as tarts, cakes, and pies. This was my first time experience and I absolutely loved it! I ordered their spicy turkey sandwich (which wasn't spicy) which was served with a pickled carrot. It tasted delicious and was filling. The cafe also has paintings hung on walls which can be purchased. The cafe seems to be quite popular with the youth, they can be seen hanging out with their friends over a cup of coffee. Highly recommend if you're visiting!

Baked bread and pastries mecca with a well deserved reputation for exceptional quality. The croissants are out of this world and pretty much exceed anything Europe has to offer. The ham and cheese croissant is superb with real French Gruyère cheese and applewood ham in generous quantity that almost make a complete meal. Best I’ve had in the last 40 years, and devoured 2 for a thorough analysis. Chocolate croissants are elegantly laced with 2 bars of Valhrona semisweet chocolate that offer a rich confectionary taste bud experience. Yep - ate one of those too on-site. These perfectly flakey, multilayered, buttery pastries were accompanied by a delicious cafe latte expertly prepared by Aaron who patiently listened to how I wanted it prepared while smiling kindly - and delivered a home run. Aaron pushed the service rating into 5 stars as the other employees provided average level experience. The premises are cramped, lines are long, parking difficult. Would I go back - you bet your applewood! Thank goodness I purchased 6 more to take home as writing this review caused my stomach to growl and dig into the bag. Too bad Aaron doesn’t do house calls. Vive Tartine!

After having started my own sourdough journey with Tartine's cookbook, I was excited to try their bread in person! I opted for simply bread and butter and it was absolutely phenomenal. My only suggestion would be to serve 2-3 thicker slices rather than 4 thin slices. After toasting, I wasn't able to enjoy a soft+chewy crumb I was hoping for.

I really enjoyed the pastries from this bakery especially the morning bun which was amazing. We also had the lemon tart which was good - a little expensive for a small tart, but thats on par for places in SF. It was pretty busy when we went, but the line moved quickly. Not a lot of room to sit, but they do have tables outside as well. Definitely stop by for a morning bun

Ordered a Frangipane Croissant. This had an almond cream filling and brandy. You can taste the smooth brandy in there and the buttery (sometimes crispy) flakiness of the exterior. Cute shop with very delicious looking pastries and fragrant fresh goods. Very quick line as they help you get your order ready. Seating fills up quickly and is very busy, still calm enough to carry a quiet conversation. Employees are friendly and corner location is convenient to find just a few blocks away from Dolores Park.

Came for morning breakfast. Luckily the line was not long and there was seating outside. We got the Banana Chocolate Tart (MUST TRY) and their turkey croque monsieur with latte. I would say pass on the coffee, there are better options within walking distance (Four Barrel and Ritual). It was amazing baked goods for a gloomy morning!
