All that you could ask for in a bread bakery. Each loaf is given special care. The pan de mie are soft and slightly sweet. The walnut levain has a dense, malty crumb inlaid with chopped walnuts. Read more

Love how they have all the different types of bread on displayed. Tried the broccolini focaccia and almond croissant and would recommend both.

grab a loaf, go next door for a wheel of Mt. Tam cheese at Cowgirl Creamery, and find a secluded/scenic spot for a picnic ... one of my favorite meals/experiences in the city!

Tons of amazing bread. All different kinds freshly made. Had to buy a sourdough while in San Fran. You can't go wrong. All fairly priced and if you don't know which one you want very helpful staff

Best bread bakery in the city; their French baguettes, kaiser rolls, ciabattas and multigrain are second to none. Excellent cookies & pastries as well.

I’m very particular and can confirm this is excellent bread. Pain de Epi is a wonderful French style loaf that pairs well with cheese. Highly recommend.

Best way to spend less than a dollar. Go get a yummy, fresh roll. Olive or raisin for savory or sweet.

Favorites are cranberry whole wheat raisin walnut and pain de mie (great toasted with jam). Cash only!

Take it from an NYC bread snob - this place makes the best sourdough I've ever had. Just the smell of the rising dough outside is phenomenal.

I call this place bread heaven ;) rustic sweet baguette, teeny roll, olive roll, and pain de mie!!! love love love them~

Try a sampler by getting bunch of little rolls then grab some cheese next door at Cowgirl Creamery + bottle of wine then go have a picnic!

No trip to San Francisco is complete without some sourdough, and Acme is a great place to get your sourdough fix.

Herb Slab and Sweet Rolls are the way to go. Croissants are awesome too.

Toast a slice of their sweet loaf bread and slather on some creamy European style butter from the Farmer's Market here. Golden!

The cheese sandwich with fig jam is tasty. Smaller portions, but super high quality stuff.

The whole wheat levain is my favorite bread on the planet.

Challah bread is baked only on the weekends and sells out quickly! Get it while you can... you won't be sorry.
