The Best Bakeries to Visit (and Pastries to Eat) in San Francisco | Bon Appétit

"Everyone (and by everyone, I meanCarla Lalli Musicand all the people waiting in the line with me at 3 p.m.) goes toArsicaultfor the classic croissants.BAnamed itthe best bakery of 2016 for that one flaky confection alone! I skippedle classiqueand ordered a chocolate-almond croissant (it’s chocolateandalmond—how could I pass?) as well as a kouign amann (why stop now?!), which had an untraditional flat spiral shape instead of the usual flower and was absurdly glossy and caramel-colored. I couldn’t fit these into my body that day, but do not worry: Unlike regular croissants, these were still flakey and light the next day—seriously! It was magic—and among the best pastries I’ve tasted in recent history. While it’s good to get there to Arsicault in the morning, don’t be daunted if can’t make it at the crack of dawn—there were plenty of pastries when I arrived mid-afternoon and the line moved quickly." - BySarah Jampel
