Tartine Bakery
Shatteringly good pastries worth the Saturday morning line
Tartine is the San Francisco bakery where the morning bun and croissant have earned their legendary status through pure craft—caramelized sugar, citrus zest, and that dramatic contrast between shattering crust and pillowy interior. The line wraps around the block on weekend mornings, but regulars say it moves fast and the buzzing, butter-scented energy makes the wait feel like part of the experience.
