San Francisco is renowned for its exceptional pastry culture, particularly its croissants. This article highlights the city's top six bakeries, emphasizing the unique flavors and baked goods they offer. Arsicault stands out for its delightful almond, chocolate, and ham and cheese croissants, known for their texture and flavor. Butter & Crumble offers a lighter take on croissants, with innovative options like pistachio cardamom. For a cozy experience, another recommended bakery provides simple yet exquisite plain croissants, perfect with a cappuccino. Each location promises a memorable culinary experience, warranting the wait in line.
Arsicault needs little introduction. At this point, you, your neighbor, and your neighbor's cousin from Ohio have all done time waiting in line at the Richmond bakery. The croissants, especially of the almond, chocolate, and ham and cheese variety, are flat-out masterpieces. Caramelized bottoms, warm layers, flaky bits that get all over your shirt-there's really nothing better.
Butter & Crumble has mastered the art of croissants that won't make you feel like you have butter seeping out of your pores. The North Beach bakery is phenomenalâand everyone knows it, so prepare for a line.
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.
