"The French Spot is a bakery that has taken over the former Mr. Holmes Bakehouse location on Larkin Street. It is known for its croissants, including the original croissant and the trademarked Ube Mochicro. The bakery is run by husband-and-wife team Vincent Attali and Maria Zapata, who have a background in high-end restaurants and pastry shops. They offer a variety of baked goods and custom cakes, and their Ube Mochicro is a standout item, praised for its crisp, moist, and buttery texture with a sweet ube mochi filling and eye-catching purple glaze. The bakery has a close-knit team and also supplies baked goods to numerous hotels, restaurants, and coffee shops in the Bay Area." - Antony Fangary
