    Every good day starts with Tartine's bread pudding. It's magical. Also don't miss the morning bun (sugary goodness with a little orange flavor) and the perfect croissants. Just get one of everything.

    Tartine's morning buns are worth the wait. Lighter than a cinnamon roll, sweeter than a muffin, and fattier than a green juice, the buns are a perfect compliment to coffee — or to another bun. Read more

    Lemon tart oh lemon tart, you were amazing. Pair with a Counter Culture cold brew, it's a match made in pastry+coffee heaven!

    Bread, tarts, cookies, cakes, and more fill the rest of the saliva-inducing display, all of which make the perfect pairing with people watching in the outdoor seating area. Read more

    The morning buns and the lemon tart were perfect! Completely worth the wait. The brownies also make for a nice little gift.

    Seeing as bread is kind of an essential ingredient in a grilled cheese sandwich, it is unsurprising that Tartine makes some damn good ones, considering their bread is more or less the best thing ever. Read more

    Although people are going crazy over the Banana Cream Pie, the unsung hero is the Coconut Cream Pie. Best pie I've ever had! And everything else is amazing too.

    Yes there's a wait but what awaits you inside is the absolute best that any bakery, anywhere, any time of day has to offer. In particular, if they have the fresh berry tart, you're in luck!!

    Everything in tartine is insane. So incredibly good! Specially the bread pudding and the coconut cream pie. Here you can't go wrong with anything.

    These pastries really are some of the best in the world. Don't miss their outstanding Morning Bun and Frangipane Croissant. WinstonWanders.com

    Complaining about a French bakery not offering more vegan items is kinda like bitching that your local adult shoppe doesn't carry your favorite version of the bible.

    Over-hyped bakery. Loooong lines. Crowded. It's almost impossible to get a table. Very good pastries in a town with a lot of excellent bakeries.

    Tartine is all about locally sourced ingredients like free-range California eggs and European-style, high-fat butter shipped from nearby Oregon. Come early to snag a sticky bun straight from the oven. Read more

    Line is long but moves quicker than you'd think. Currant buttermilk scone is AMAZING; they use 2x the butter and cream so obvi it'll be light and crumbly. Muesli is hearty and worth trying!

    Everything is amazing. The bread pudding is delish with fresh, seasonal fruit. Chocolate pudding so rich and yummy, makes you just want to smack someone!! Go in the evening to avoid long lines.

    Nothing is more iconic than baker/owner Chad Robertson's country bread. The tangy, perfect crumb inside is surrounded by perfectly blistered crust, making it ideal for butter, jam, or on its own. Read more

    Banana cream tart is bomb! Chocolate hazelnut tart is a bit dry. The frangipani croissant tastes great but don't like the mushy texture in side. Quiche is incredible! Eclair is very rich in cream

    Almond-lemon tea cake, mexican wedding cookie, walnut butter cookie, hazelnut biscotti, shortbread, and almond rocher are good. Pass on the hazelnut chocolate tart; it's like a too intense brownie.

    The tres leches cake was gone in an instant from how fluffy and light it is.. But the real star is the banana cream tart. The BEST I've ever had. Flaky crust, flavorful filling, perfect texture.

    Come at 430 and get fresh baked bread. Any panini is amazing, fantastic, truly masterworks of the sa which biz, and they're huge. Who doesn't like huge pieces of masterworks.

    Don't be afraid of the line, it's worth the wait! We tried a little of everything - but the tarts and cookies were delicious. The Gruyere bread was perfect for those more interested in a savory treat!

    The bread is famous, the morning buns are famous, the pain au chocolat is famous, but if you want the perfect combination of aesthetic cuteness and something fresh and tart, get the lemon cream tart. Read more

    My most favorite is the bread pudding with fruit with just the right amount of sweetness. The bread pudding was sold out yesterday so I had the fruit tart (photo) instead.

    Tartine can do no wrong. Putting whole-grain rye flour in its chocolate cookies, somehow gives them exactly the right texture: dense and fudgy, with a complex chocolate flavor. Read more

    Eat everything. Morning buns, croissants, and breeding pudding of course, but the sandwiches and savory pastries with ham and cheese, too.

    Expect an hour wait to get to the counter but so worth it. Ham and cheese croissant is hearty, warm, buttery and so flaky. Morning bun is so subtly hinted w orange. Everything we tried was delightful

    Order your sandwich to go and eat at Mission Dolores Park for some excellent SF people watching. Better than being smooshed into a communal table. Also, save room for ice cream at Bi-Rite Creamery.

    Keep meaning to try the recommendations but I keep getting distracted by everything else! LOVE the "gougére", the perfect savory snack. Must try all of the desserts. ALL OF THEM. 😋

    Best bakery ever! If there's one thing you get, it's their croissant - sooo fluffy and crisp! And those chocolate-based cakes - simply beyond scrumptious. Do yourself a favor and eat something here.

    Best carbs on the West Coast, arguably in the US. Famous for morning buns, snag a baguette after 3:30pm if you can!

    Bread, croque monsieur and morning bun are delicious!!!!. Desserts were underwhelming. We tried 5 different desserts and didn't love any of them. Definitely worth the visit for the bread!!!

    Everything here is amazing. Go early if you want the almond croissant (we missed out!) that everyone talks about. The Croque Madame and Frangipane are both phenomenal.

    Tartine is so cute and busy! But way worth the wait for their morning buns! If you don't know what to get, get a morning bun AT LEAST! Loved it! When I visit again, I'll be back here!

    Best bakery I've been in the USA, no doubt. They have superb almond croissants, which you can pair with delicious coffee. A must visit if you are in the area.

    The Coconut Cream Tart must have come out of an angel's bakery because it was heaven. PHENOMENAL. The bread pudding on the other hand tasted like ****. Oh yeah, the Money Picked Oolong tea is WOW.

    Best bakery in the Bay Area, hands down. Always a line and it's always worth waiting for. Morning bun, pain au jambon, pain au chocolate, croque monsieur are all excellent.

    Buy a half loaf of sesame bread and go for a walk with a friend. Rip off chunks of bread while you walk and eat the whole thing before you get home.

    Rating is exaggerated. Their breads (with different toppings) are definitely tasty. Still, the deserts have too much sugar and fat in it. The coconut macarones were too dry (inside & outside).

    Everything is stellar, but if you want a good start, the croissant is distinctly perfect, and a loaf of country bread is the definition of good artisinal bread

    The Gruyere gougère is crisp and soft and delicious. Their standard croissant is near perfect. And try the lemon cream tart instead of the popular bread and butter pudding

    The Rochers are often overlooked, but not to be underestimated. The most affordable item at the bakery they are sweet little treats, crunch on the outside and soft on the inside. Chocolate Nib...

    The long line outside is worth it for their scrumptious dishes, mostly made with organic ingredients. The three cheese sandwich oozes with goodness, and the brioche bread pudding is simply delectable.

    While the basic concept is simple, the perfect pain au chocolat is a work of art, and Tartine's version is so popular that the bakery sells 400 of them each day. Read more
