Day Moon Bakery in the Outer Sunset serves crusty baguettes, seasonal scones, and stellar coffee in a chill spot perfect for a slow morning by Ocean Beach.
"Even if you’re coming in for a quick pastry to go, Day Moon will have you making small talk with strangers for hours. Time slows down at this minimalist bakery, which perfectly aligns with the Outer Sunset's no-rush energy. Just take a seat at an outdoor bench and strike up a conversation about organic dog treats or the surf forecast. A trip here isn’t complete without trying their tangy sourdough baguettes, tart upside-down cakes, or a simple butter and Toma cheese sandwich on a seeded roll." - julia chen 1, lani conway, ricky rodriguez, patrick wong
"Day Moon is technically a new addition to the Sunset bakery scene, having opened a new shop this spring on Irving Street. But it’s been a staple of the Clement Street Farmer’s Market for quite a while. Expect crusty, toothsome baguettes; unique items such as rye porridge bread; and small loaves perfect for a household of one or two." - Dianne de Guzman, Becky Duffett, Eater Staff
"This Sunset spot is a haven for all things baked. The sourdough baguette, which is wrapped in a brown paper bag and often still warm, is the overachieving class valedictorian. The insides are squishy and fragrant, and slicing into one elicits an audible crackle and an avalanche of crumbs. They’re also available in sandwich form, with rotating fillings like roasted broccolini or white bean hummus." - julia chen 1, patrick wong
"The permanent location for Day Moon comes after years of popping up at farmers markets in tandem with fellow Sunsetter Yo Tambien Cantina. The shop pours Linea Coffee, whips up apricot scones and porridge loaves, and now plays host to fellow bakers including Berkeley’s Year of the Snake." - Paolo Bicchieri, Dianne de Guzman
"The level of luxurious quality at Day Moon, found in both the Linea coffee drinks and the little treats — whether a peanut butter cookie, a sesame bun, or a peach scone — is only matched by the downhill stroll to the expansive and gorgeous Ocean Beach. It’s tough to top as far as new bakeries go in San Francisco." - Paolo Bicchieri, Lauren Saria
