Hand-Twisted Bagels and Sourdough on Vallejo Street
Pick up panini and pastries at Tony Gemignani's bakery for a date with an earlier start.
🥯 Bread Before Dinner
Make this a morning date at Toscano Brothers, the bakery from Tony Gemignani at 728 Vallejo Street. The bread selection runs from naturally leavened sourdough to freshly made pagnotta, batards, and baguettes. Pick a loaf together, then turn your attention to the savory side of the counter.
The bagels are hand twisted and baked on burlap wrapped pine boards through the Dago Bagel operation. They finish in an imported Italian Cuppone panettone deck oven, a detail for anyone who follows the baking as closely as the eating. Focaccia and pastries sit alongside mortadella and prosciutto panini, with Cafe Trieste coffee rounding out the choices.
Plan around Thursday through Sunday from 8 AM to 3 PM, or until sold out, with Monday through Wednesday closed. Put this one on the calendar for an early rendezvous, with bread to bring home after.
