The Baker Next Door

The Best Restaurants In Redwood City - San Francisco - The Infatuation

"The long, white-and-green-checkered counter at this popular bakery gives the airy, sunlit space a subtle but welcome old-school diner vibe. This spot is known for its bread and pastries, and for good reason—do not miss the pain au chocolat, with its buttery layers and generously filled chocolate center, or the flaky kouign amann, topped with oven-caramelized sugar. But the breakfast and lunch offerings shouldn’t be ignored. Go for the decadent mortadella sandwich with stracciatella on focaccia or the breakfast sandwich with a runny egg and bacon on crusty ciabatta. There’s no wifi, so it may not be the best spot for getting work done, but it’s perfect for settling in with a friend or a good book." - Gabi Moskowitz
