General Notes
A delightful bakery right in the heart of Noe Valley. A more "American" style bakery, elevated and done really well. Their pastries are delicious and they offer a really wide variety of treats. We tried to get a little bit of everything but there are still so many more things we haven't tried -- especially their cookies (which I've heard great things about) and their cupcakes.
Dishes Tasted
- ★★★★ Artichoke Savory Tile -- artichoke, ricotta, pepper. This pastry is absolutely delightful. I love marinaded artichoke on its own, but it goes so well with the ricotta and puff pastry.
- ★★☆☆ Sticky Bun -- Great flavor but slightly unpleasant to eat; the caramel hardened as soon as you take a bite of it and it sticks to your teeth a bit too much.
- ★★★☆ Morning Bun -- These are delightful. I love the non-uniform texture, which gives it plenty of crisp edges and a beautifully soft interior. Rich, buttery, and full of cinnamon sugar just as promised.
- ★★★☆ Fruit Tart -- a solid fruit tart, you really can't go wrong with this
- ★★★☆ Orange + Currant Scone -- Buttery on the inside, delightfully crisp on the exterior. The orange and currant flavors are pronounced but well balanced.
