Tartine Bakery

For anyone who can’t resist the siren song of fresh-from-the-over bread, Tartine Bakery in the Mission is a required stop. Owners Elisabeth Prueitt and Chad Robertson masterfully churn out the freshest breads (which are used for the construction of insanely good sandwiches) and pastries (best washed down with freshly brewed Blue Bottle coffee). They also do some pretty great cookbooks.
