"Butter & Crumble built itself up as a cake pop-up, but after a trip to Paris to further her baking skills, baker Sophie Smith has become one of the better croissant makers in town. Smith offers a number of croissant options, but the favorite is the bacon, egg, and cheese with a soft egg yolk at its center. Make sure to check out the seasonal croissants, such as a Father’s Day number that incorporated mustard, carnitas pork, honey ham, and Swiss cheese. It’s a pop-up for now at this Fillmore Street address, but already Smith has locked down a lease on a bakery in North Beach, so her croissants will soon be a permanent fixture in the city." - Dianne de Guzman, Becky Duffett
"Sophie Smith's bakery, Butter & Crumble, is known for its vegan and gluten-free cake options, and has recently launched a viennoiserie program featuring puffy croissants dressed up in both savory and sweet flavors. The bakery operates out of a kitchen in a former Patxi’s Pizza location, now owned by Marina bar Westwood. Some of the notable items include a cross-laminated pecan pain Suisse, cinnamon pains au chocolat, a pistachio cardamom sugar croissant, an everything bagel ham and cheese croissant, and the standout bacon egg and cheese croissant. Walk-in pastry purchases are available, and cakes and pastry boxes can be pre-ordered for weekend pickup." - Dianne de Guzman
"The flaky crust was dusted with a just-right amount of superfine sugar and pistachio bits." - Paolo Bicchieri
