"Vincent Attali and Maria Zapata’s French Spot is one of the heralds of the Tenderloin’s baking scene. In the former Mr. Holmes Bakehouse space, a big hit for 2010s-phenom cruffin, this cafe and bakery rolled out the purple-glazed ube mochicro alongside Red Bay Coffee and custom cake orders. Pull up here for the artsy space, too; Zapata painted all the vibrant signage and artwork." - Paolo Bicchieri
