Boulangerie Bay Bread




Bay Bread specializes in boulangerie style bread, pastries, and cookies. Friendly and ever-so-slightly disorganized, it is always fun to visit. Making some of the best croissants and pain au chocolat in San Francisco, you can taste the goodness and purity of the ingredients - translation, real butter. Flaky and layered in texture, a Bay Bread croissant is one of the life's simple pleasures. It is too bad that there is no space for a cup of sit-down coffee; otherwise it would have made a perfect breakfast spot like Vincent Dallet.




A wide selection of macarons, flavored cream sandwiched with crunchy shells, is another attraction. The flavors are clearly articulated, if not intense. Part of the fun in buying macarons is selecting the flavors to try – or you can do what I do, buy one of each. No Pierre Herme, Bay Bread still makes the best macarons in San Francisco and, besides, you do not have to look fabulous to visit the shop.
