Jane on Larkin

"Jane the Baker has a plethora of wonderful spots, but there’s something special about the Tenderloin location. Another spot where most everything is not gluten-free and vegan, but keep an eye out for the gluten-free snickerdoodles, chocolate chip cookies, and banana bread — all for $4.25 or less." - Dianne de Guzman, Paolo Bicchieri

"The end of the tour is an emotional experience. We’re deep into our caffeinated madness, sure, but Jane the Bakery brought up different memories for Alkhanshali. He grew up running down Cedar Street to get produce for his mom and to see such a colorful and vibrant shop next door to where he once picked up asparagus is a bit of a trip. Now he can order an elote turnover, oozing with cotija and lime, on the very same block where he once got jumped. The store features Equator Coffees — touted as California’s first queer-woman-owned roaster — and has a sweet, brightly lit dining space filled with laughter and music. Gentrification doesn’t seem to cross Alkhanshali’s mind. He’s too busy smiling and wondering about how more of his people from the neighborhood can get a taste of this surge in activity. “I’ve seen so much violence on these streets,” Alkhanshali says. “Having bitter moments allows you to enjoy sweet moments.”" - Paolo Bicchieri

"I’d start my day with coffee and pastries at Jane on Larkin Street." - The MICHELIN Guide

"Like its sister spot on Fillmore, Jane on Larkin serves some of our favorite lattes, granola, breakfast sandwiches, and avocado toasts in the city. The baristas are friendly, and if you feel like hanging around for a few hours and ordering lunch, too, you won’t be making a mistake." - Taylor Abrams
