"Where the Castro meets the Mission is Thorough Bread and Pastry. The French-style bakery is where we like to eat our body weight in croissants (specifically the almond ones), rustic fruit tarts, and other sweet treats. Get a few, or, more accurately, a lot of pastries, and sit out on the lovely back patio. And because this place is one of the best bakeries in town, expect a line." - lani conway, julia chen 1, ricky rodriguez
"This lowkey bakery on the border of the Castro and the Mission is where we like to post up and sip on a cappuccino while we eat our body weight in warm croissants. The plain ones are our favorite: they’re light, airy, not too buttery, and have just the right amount of crunch. Get a few, or, more accurately, a lot of pastries, and sit out on the lush back patio." - julia chen 1, ricky rodriguez, patrick wong
"Where the Castro meets the Mission sits Thorough Bread and Pastry. The French-style bakery is where we like to eat our body weight in croissants (specifically of the almond variety), sticky buns, gougères, and apple galettes. Get a few, or more accurately, a lot of pastries, and sit on the relaxing, plant-filled patio out back. And with any place that’s achieved baking mastery, expect a line, especially on weekends (be sure to grab a baguette to go as well)." - julia chen 1, lani conway, ricky rodriguez, patrick wong
"The next time you’re in the mood for breakfast but would rather attempt to scale Coit Tower than brave the bottomless brunch crowds, Thorough Bread and Pastry in the Castro is here for you. We stop by this bake shop for an almond croissant, a sticky bun, and a cup of tea, and then make our way to the patio. It's nicely spaced out and teeming with flowers." - julia chen 1, lani conway
