Tartine Bakery
A famous Mission District bakery where the country bread and morning buns are wildly popular, making it a local go-to brunch spot.
Tartine is one of San Francisco's most famous bakeries, with AAA describing its country bread as near-legendary. The bakery fresh-bakes its morning buns daily, featuring rich caramel and orange zest aromas, and the pain au chocolat is also highly recommended. The country bread costs about $8.95 for a half-loaf and $14.95 for a whole loaf; it is baked later in the day, so call ahead to confirm availability if you want to buy one. Lines can be long on weekends, with some guides noting a wait of about 20 minutes on Saturday mornings, so arriving early is recommended. Average spend is about $15–$25. Located at the corner of Guerrero and 18th Streets, perfect for grabbing pastries and walking to nearby Mission Dolores Park for a picnic.
