Tartine Bakery

This is a must stop if you’re looking for fresh pasties and bakery items.

We had to try a few things and none of them disappointed. The quiche was so delicious and the carrot was a surprise to. It must be pickled or something as the flavor has a little kick to it.

I would highly highly recommend coming here. Be prepared to wait. There was a line out the door! They do have options to order ahead and pick up.

They offer coffee and cappuccinos here as well.

Awesome bakery with nice people! A cozy outdoor space by the street and very tiny indoor space for seating. Their hop sandwiches are big and shareable if you are not very hungry. Their pastrami is the best. Their hot drinks are great, too! Their breads are awesome! Visiting SF? Then you must check this place out!

If you are staying afar and are wondering if it’s worth the trip, wonder no more. Great coffee, great pasties, croissants done right. Do try the morning bun, you won’t regret it.

If you are a first timer, don’t expect to get seats right away. Be flexible to share tables and chairs.

I was told the croissants are amazing so I took a walk to find out. I bought plain croissants in order to have the true experience without added pizazz. I bought coffee as well. The coffee was good. The croissant, tho? It was the best croissant I’ve ever had. Lots and lots of other pastries as well. Ran out before I bought more!

Just adding to the thousands of previous reviews of how awesome Tartine is.

Things to note: prepare for long lines. You can order ahead and skip the line for pick up. No seating or eating indoors right this moment.

Pastries:
- I fully recommend the Almond Croissant and the Lemon Tart. The Almond Croissant is made so right - crunchy outer crust, stuffed with almond paste filling and topped with toasted almonds. Can't compare a true almond croissant to the machine made stuff you get from places like Starbucks. The Lemon Tart was a pleasant surprise because I don't usually like tart things but this tart had the perfect balance of tartness and lightness and creaminess. It was not overpowering and the texture was just so right.

- The Morning Bun was just OK for me. Looked and sounded better than tasted.
- The Jam Bun was also OK. I did like the cream in the middle but wish there was more of it.
The Hot Chocolate was OK - chocolate flavor was mild and not too sweet. The temperature was luke warm so I wish it was a bit hotter.

Still, a perfect start to my day.
