I found a parking space in front of Tartine (SF)

I hadn’t been here in several years and couldn’t pass up the parking.

Alas, somewhat unaffordable.

Personally I think the breads are a whole level above the pastries, and a lot cheaper too (relatively).

Doesn’t this statement apply to the Bay Area (maybe even the entire West Coast) as a whole? :laughing:

I’ve never tried their bread; there was a gorgeous baguette sitting there, about $7 but I’d just been to Rainbow and had bought an Acme sourdough baguette!

In all fairness … Tartine is far superior and less expensive than many other places in SF now.

Just a little sticker shock since I hadn’t been there since before Covid! Also am trying to live within my means.

Next time I want the smoked salmon/cream cheese bagel and morning bun. Would like that Coconut Cake for a special occasion!

The friend I was with got the ham/cheese/jalapeño croissant and the tiniest macchiato, about 2-3 inches tall, I sampled both.
