"SAN FRANCISCO Butter & Crumble in San Francisco is a palace of all things pastry. And everyone knows it—the block-long lines of butter enthusiasts gather daily for impeccable croissants. The ones here are light and crackly, with inner layers so thin they’re transparent. Know that a visit here is null and void if you don’t order the pistachio cardamom croissant: It’s dusted with sugar and piped full of velvety pistachio cream you’ll want to eat by the scoop.
