Tartine Bakery

Tartine centers on an old-soul baking approach, turning out loaves with an interior so preternaturally moist and chewy that it shimmers in the light. Beyond the bread, the counter spans sweet and savory craft: gougères with a crusty cheese exterior and soft aerated bread, breakfast egg sandwiches on buttermilk loaf, custardy bread pudding, and slices of passion fruit lime coconut cake. Even with occasional busy-hour service snags during peak rushes, the kitchen's precision shows in every detail, right down to the airy honeycomb interior tucked inside each morning bun.
