This small storefront bakery lights up the Mission with sophisticated French pastries and artisanal loaves.

In Short
The modest storefront is full of glass-fronted cases showing off elaborate pastries. A handful of tables provides seating for the lucky few. Highlights include feather-light croissants, buttery brioche with figs and cherries and lemon-cream tarts topped with rose petals. Afternoons, piping-hot country and walnut loaves come out of the oven. The crusty bread is featured in hot-pressed sandwiches, such as traditional croque monsieur or foie gras with peach jam.
