Tartine Bakery
The Verdict
"Get the morning bun. It sells out first."
What you need to know
What to Order
Morning Bun: The signature pastry. Orange zest, cinnamon, and sugar in croissant-like layers. Sells out first.
Country Bread: Chad Robertson’s naturally leavened sourdough with a dark, crackling crust. The fresh loaves come out at 5 PM. The afternoon line is mostly people waiting for it.
Croque Monsieur: Hot, melted, substantial enough for lunch.
Seasonal Fruit Galette: Whatever’s ripe, baked into buttery pastry.
The pastry case rotates through the day. What’s there at 8 AM is different at 2 PM.
The Space
The original is small. Glass case along one side, a few tables in the back, the open kitchen filling the rest. Most customers order to go.
Tartine Manufactory on Alabama Street is the larger sibling location, a full restaurant with a bigger menu and more seating.
