"Dianda’s Bakery might not be as buzzy as some of the city’s newer bakeries, but, honestly, does SF need Mayor Breed betting a meal from a baker that might decide to bust out of town tomorrow? Since 1962, Dianda’s has sold some of the city’s best sheet cakes from its 2883 Mission Street storefront, as well as 35 different kinds of cookies, over 20 different types of pastries, and other baked goods with roots in a multitude of cultural traditions. The unionized bakery’s (employees are members of BCTGM Local 24 San Francisco) rum torte is especially popular with East African customers, and was characterized by local food writer Ruth Gebreyesus as “a bittersweet reminder that someplace like home can exist here too.” Enough said." - Eve Batey
