On my recent trip to San Francisco, the basic plan was as follows: Light bakery breakfast, small\/moderate lunch, and fancy dinner. The first of these breakfasts was partaken at Tartine bakery and given the glowing reviews and Beard awards the expectations were admittedly high. Arriving at 8:15 on a rainy President\u2019s Day morning there was no line and we actually drove right past the unmarked building on first pass. Once the venue was located, parking was a snap and a mere $1 at the meter. <\/p>\n

Entering the bakery the smell is almost perfection defined; vanilla, cinnamon, coffee, and warm chocolate waft through the air as a light soundtrack plays in the background. Browsing the selections quickly it was easy to say what looked good \u2013 everything, but nearly impossible to decide what looked BEST. After a few moments my group decided to get a number of items to share around, 2 coffees, and an orange juice. Service was prompt, albeit a little aloof, and prices were on par with what one would expect in the Midwest \u2013 not California. Seating was readily available, though I can definitely see how this might become problematic as more people arrive, especially on weekends. <\/div>\n
