"On my first morning in San Francisco, I happened upon this quiet café in the Castro. Not too buzzy, trendy, or bright, it seemed like the perfect place to linger over coffee and a treat. Of all the sandwiches, breads, muffins, scones, and croissants to choose from atThorough Bread and Pastry, I snagged a brioche tart with raspberries, pastry cream, and coffee streusel. It was like a glorious piece of toast in a neat little package: feathery bread with a divot of sweet cream and tangy jam. I finished it in all of three bites. (This was just the first of many brioche tarts I saw over the weekend—New York, get on that!)" - BySarah Jampel
