"Not only is San Francisco a carb lover paradise, but the city is home to some of the oldest, most unique, and innovative bakeries in the country. Sourdough is, of course, a local specialty, and no one has done it better — or for a longer time — than Boudin Bakery, which has been using starter dough cultivated 150 years ago. And Loquat, a Jewish cafe and bakery opened in 2022 by Tartine Bakery alumni, has become a local favorite for its Middle Eastern specialties like babkas and bourekas." - Dobrina Zhekova
