Asian-inspired pastries like ube salt bread & cream puffs






















"An ultra-popular bakery with a permanent residence inside Paper Son’s downtown location, this spot delivers Isaac Taitano’s Korean salted bread, mochi cookies, and legions of cream puffs filled with crowd-pleasing flavors including lemongrass and passionfruit; go Wednesday through Friday when Tano is on-site." - Paolo Bicchieri
"One of the city’s most line-inducing bakeries this year, it is serving Guamanian-inspired coconut candy dark chocolate chip cookies as part of Ghirardelli’s National Cookie Day collaboration, available through Sunday, August 10." - Paolo Bicchieri
"Referenced together with a nearby spot as a 'young gun combo,' this establishment is positioned as part of the filmmaker’s ongoing survey of San Francisco food and beverage makers; the intended films center on the people and processes, letting the subjects describe their craft while the filmmaker remains out of frame and focused on visual storytelling." - Paolo Bicchieri
"Tano is responsible for the hour-long lines inside of Paper Son in SoMa every Wednesday to Friday. This pop-up bakery makes delicious Asian pastries that aren't available anywhere else in the city. Korean-style salt bread verges on exploding with ube cream, paper-thin choux balloons with hojicha-infused cream, and a salted egg focaccia has a slight kick. Their hours are limited, so plan ahead and set a calendar reminder like we do. (And make sure to follow Tano on Instagram to see what’s on the weekly menu, and catch any updates about when they’ve sold out)." - patrick wong
"Thanks to Tano, there’s a near-guarantee of a line at Paper Son in SoMa an hour before doors open. This pop-up bakery makes delicious Asian pastries that aren't available anywhere else in the city. Korean-style salt bread verges on exploding with ube cream, paper-thin choux balloons with hojicha-infused cream, and a salted egg focaccia has a slight kick. Tano is only open Wednesday through Friday, so we suggest putting a recurring morning block on your calendar to improve your odds of scoring a good position in line. (Showing up at least an hour before opening is the best move.)
