Tartine Bakery

Fabulous pastries! Morning bun was exceptional. Would recommend to give this bakery a visit. We did a take out and walked to nearby Dolores Park for a relaxing picnic. Quick but important note – we took a bus from union square and it passed by Mission district which felt very unsafe. Would recommend to take an Uber or drive if possible.

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!

We tried $70 worth of bread (plain croissant, morning bun, frangipane croissant, ham & gruyere cheese sandwich, chocolate cake, banana cream tart). My husband fell in love with their chocolate cake and banana cream pie five years ago.

The sandwich was pretty good. We enjoyed the sourdough bread and the whole flavor was put together nicely. Banana cream tart was not bad, but I’m certain it tastes better if you make it yourself at home. I hate to admit that the other goods were not that exciting…

For their price point, we should be able to expect better products. None of our friends in the bay recommended us the Tartine Bakery and I think that means something.

So, so busy. Decent pastries, sandwiches, cakes and whatnot, but the location is so cramped and packed that I’m not sure it’s worth it.

They get so much traffic and half the people ahead of me were ordering the week’s worth of carbs. Added a lot to my wait even though I only wanted a heated croque monsieur. Wish there were a way have two queues: one for people who are looking to enjoy a pastry and another for the toilet paper hoarders.

On the food: the croissant was fine, but the croque monsieur was bland. They also added a random cold carrot onto the plate that served no purpose. Would not recommend wasting $15.75 on the croque monsieur.

All-in-all, the pastries were acceptable, the location is horrible and skip on the croque monsieur. Great spot for buying your week’s worth of bread but would pass if you’re looking for a chill spot to enjoy a pastry and coffee.

Outstanding by any measure. The bread was unreal, as were every bit of everything sold out of the cafe. The team of professionals behind the counters killed it also! So so very good
