"Once famed for their taco-croissant fusion pastry, aptly named, “The Tacro,” (which you can still order) Vive La Tarte’s less cross-bred options are why you should visit this Noe Valley bakery and cafe, especially their loaves of sourdough. They have a milder zing than others in the city, but the light and chewy texture makes it easy to tear this loaf apart by hand and eat it by the fistful. There’s plenty of indoor and outdoor seating for you to sprawl out on while eating pastries like turmeric monkeybread, cheesecake, or a seasonal croissant pretending it’s not a dessert." - Patrick Wong
