"The Mission bakery is the original location for the award-winning bakery, which has added locations and struggled with worker issues in the past couple of years, though there’s still a line out the door. First timers usually go for the morning bun, a knot of croissant laced with cinnamon and orange zest. But the sourdough is a big deal, ushering in a new wave of natural bread baking in San Francisco, and now imitated across the world. Bread, tarts, cookies, cakes, and more fill the rest of the saliva-inducing display, all of which make the perfect pairing with people-watching in the outdoor seating area." - Lauren Saria, Eater Staff
