"There are a lot of difficult choices to make at Thorough Bread. Always beckoning you from behind the display case are slices of cheesecake, chocolate-drizzled cream puffs, and of course loaves of the country sourdough. The latter, you must get. Each boule at this French-style bakery-cafe in the Castro has built-in ridges on the outside that almost require ear plugs when you make a slice. While it may be difficult, resist the urge to sprint home to have your first piece and consider spending a quiet moment on the back patio with a café au lait and blueberry scone.
