Jane The Bakery

"The Geary location of Jane is the biggest, and it’s where you can have an unobstructed view of the sourdough loaves coming out of the oven before picking something from the fully stocked pastry case. The takeout-only bakery has picnic-ready loaves and is there for you when you need butter and sugar in the form of a perfectly puffy croissant. As an added bonus, there’s also a free parking lot." - julia chen 1

"Out of all the Jane bakeries, this one on Geary is carb central—it’s where you’ll find the most pastry options and an assortment of bread, from fragrant loaves of sourdough and ciabatta to cinnamon raisin pan bread. They also make fantastic croissants, morning buns, and very moist coffee cake. Jane is a pretty simple operation with limited seating: walk up, order at the counter, and be on your way. And for anyone who's ever wasted time parallel parking on an incline, there's a dedicated parking lot." - julia chen 1, lani conway, ricky rodriguez, patrick wong

"Jane has locations across town, including a constantly packed cafe on Fillmore, a smaller outpost in the Tenderloin, and a dessert shop in the Richmond. Their main production facility on Geary, though, is where serious bread-heads should go. It’s a to-go operation, with trays of just-out-of-the-oven pastries and cookies. Swing by for the classic sourdough, which is sharp and deliciously chewy, or for a more unconventional version like the chocolate hazelnut. " - julia chen 1, patrick wong

"Jane The Bakery hits all the classics for both the High Holidays and the fall with a Rosh Hashanah menu that includes apple brandy cake, honey cake, two kinds of rugelach (apricot and raspberry, plus currant and walnut), and, of course, round golden raisin (and plain) challah. Order ahead with Table 22 for pickup at specific Jane locations between Tuesday, October 1, and Friday, October 4; a delivery option is also available for Wednesday, October 2." - Dianne de Guzman, Eater Staff

"Excellent baked goods await at Jane The Bakery, the home base and supplier for the other Jane outposts throughout the city. The Fillmore to-go counter has its own small parking lot for the revolving door of carbohydrate-lovers—drive in, order a baguette or a slice of extremely moist coffee cake, and be on your way. There’s no seating, and while we fully endorse eating your treats immediately atop the hood of your car, we also like to take them to nearby Alta Plaza Park for a picnic." - julia chen 1
