Pina Colada Choux
Opened in 2023 by the owners of Saint Frank Coffee it was on May 19th of this year that Juniper swept the “Best Croissant in San Francisco competition,” and since that time the Cafe on Polk Street has been prone to lines and sell outs long before their stated 3pm closing time.
Originally known for their Choux, currently highlighted by a combination of Pineapple Puree and Coconut Milk Diplomat inside a crunchy yet yielding shell, it is from the hands of San Francisco Baking Institute graduate Amy Chen that guests can find Viennoserie both traditional and as far reaching as Black Sesame Kouign Amann.
Featuring their own Beans in a variety of drinks, plus vibrant green Matcha Lattes, limited seating sees diners lined up along a counter to enjoy freshly toasted housmade Whole Grain Bread beneath Avocados and Lemon Oil or a laminated Cinnamon Roll kissed by Orange Peel.
Named after a follower of Francis of Assisi, his generosity and hospitality renowned, customer service far outpaces the likes of Nico or Craftsman & Wolves while choices such as the Gluten Free PB&J Blondie fair nearly as well as buttery coils with a delicate crumb that crack briskly before falling on the table and floor.
