Jane the Bakery

What you need to know

Jane the Bakery opened on Geary Boulevard in late 2016 and bakes several dozen breads in-house every day, plus laminated pastries, sandwiches, and salads. Jane’s classic sourdough is the most popular item and the loaf most people first taste here.

The Food

The sourdough is the headliner. Country loaf, walnut levain, and seasonal varieties rotate alongside it. Laminated pastries (croissants, kouign-amann) come out fresh each morning. Sandwiches use the house bread. Salads and packed lunches round out the case.

Jane is part of a small SF chain (Jane on Fillmore, Jane on Larkin) but the Geary location is the bakery itself, where the bread is actually baked.

The Space

Bright, modern, with limited counter seating and outside benches. Mostly a grab-and-go spot. Geary Boulevard isn’t the prettiest stretch but the bakery is worth the trip.
