"The bakery on 18th Street originally opened in October 2020 with just a takeout window and is now allowing customers inside to sit for the first time; it reopened on March 29, 2025 after about five months closed while building out the revamped space. There are to-go items and a suite of little chairs and tables. The shop is well-known for its passionfruit almond tart and caneles, with gluten-free buckwheat brownies on deck, too. Beyond the expanded room and seating, the bakery is introducing Viennoiserie thanks to Hernandez’s second outpost in Potrero Hill — that means croissants, specifically the pistachio orange blossom croissant, that are "already doing numbers," per Hernandez. There's also a bonjour bun, described as a tall lavender rose spiralized pastry. The reopening is significant for folks in that few-block radius, which has not much else in that area for these kinds of treats." - Paolo Bicchieri
