To go review. Sausage and pepperoni pizza was pretty good! Easily made a dinner for two not very hungry people. The toppings were more than I expected for a $13 pizza. The pepperonis was plentiful, the sausage less so but the Peppadew peppers were the star of the show. Delightfully sweet yet within a hint of spice. Only remembered to take a photo at the end, when sadly only a corner piece was left and it was very small. read more

I ordered a loaf of bread through Uber Eats and picked it up in person. It was ordered sliced. When I got home and opened it, it was unsliced! I took it back a couple of days later to have it sliced. The lady told me that's against policy to slice the bread after it had left the store. We went back and forth for a few minutes and she finally put it in the Mac and sliced it. How would I know that's not sliced so it was sealed in two bags, paper and plastic with a tape! read more

Sourdough 5* The best & most accessible sourdough bread in SF. If you want more crust per slice ratio, order a long loaf. Simply delicious with butter. CC Cookie 3* Ok if you crave a cc cookie while at the shop. Very soft & too sweet. No crisp exterior. Clam chowder 3* Too salty read more

A historic location - the first Boudin! There is a plaque outside to note this location's 100+ year legacy. There are baked goods in the case, but you are here for the famous sourdough, which you can get in baguette, rolls, or bread bowl form, among other options. They also sell clam chowder, which tasted fine but wasn't my favorite compared to Fisherman's Wharf or Seattle Pike. The other big thing is the sourdough crust pizza here. This one is only a grab and go location, so there's no where to sit and enjoy your food. You have to get it as takeout. No big deal, but be prepared. There's no where to park, save a 15 (10?) minute parking meter right outside where you have to keep refreshing the meter if your time runs out. Still worth visiting if you're a Boudin fan or want to see a bit of SF culinary history. The sidewalk outside has the names of the previous chefs etched out into the concrete. read more

The sourdough bread was soft. The roast beef and pesto paired well together though I wish there were more pesto spread throughout the sandwich. read more

Boudin - Roast beef - Bakeries Near Me - San Francisco, California

Boudin Bakery is the oldest continually operating business in San Francisco, founded in 1849, and this branch on 10th & Geary has been around over 100 years! Very reasonably priced, I ordered a half turkey and avocado sandwich with clam chowder to go. Service was laid back and efficient. It's a grab-and-go place where regulars grab a coffee or meal, so we're here for the bread, not the atmosphere. The sandwich was ok, but I love their creamy clam chowder. read more

This location is classic and very friendly. It's small with take out only and street parking. The bread is delicious. My complaint is the amount of air holes in this bread. It appears that an experienced bakery knows how to avoid this happening. Sourdough is great but the excess yeast is causing a problem. Maybe the process needs a reset. read more

Boudin - Bakeries Near Me - San Francisco, California

I'm disappointed. Many moons ago I came here as a kid, and wanting to give it another try, I stopped by. Inside, the store is a little cramped; it has a decent selection of baked goods including various loaves of bread and some pastries. Seeing that they were selling sourdough pizza, I ordered the bruschetta. It came out within less than 10 minutes, which can be either a good or bad sign, this time it was the latter. Outwardly, it looked like a bigger version of a Lunchables pizza with a similar taste but without the nostalgia. The undercarriage was soft without even the slightest crispiness. The cheese was bland and the tomato sauce, had that signature canned bitter taste and there was not the slightest taste of bruschetta. The only slightly redeeming feature was the sourdough crust, which gave it a small ounce of flavor. I have had tastier frozen pizzas in my life. For fourteen dollars, this is really not it Boudin. read more

Boudin - dubai chocolate croissant - Bakeries Near Me - San Francisco, California

I was very excited to get myself a Friday treat on the way to work. Boudins used to have the best chocolate croissants. The one I got was cold, dry, and had almost no chocolate in it. I got a latte too. It's supposed to be a double shot. The milk wasn't warmed up and it's extremely watery. Absolutely not being going back to ever again. With tip it was $11.38. That's completely unacceptable for the quality of the product that I got. read more

Went to purchase some sourdough bread around 8am. I guess it was too early in the morning for the cashier. (Heavy tall built white dude with glasses and gelled-up hair). He was snappy and irritated throughout the service. It ruined the entire experience at Boudin! I would rate this a zero star if there was an option! read more

It is classic San Francisco sourdough - that's almost all that needs to be said! Dear Hubby and I were passing through The City on Monday and made the pilgrimage to Boudin's in the Avenues. He was able to grab a parking place out front while I dashed into their retail take-away space. A full complement of various types of sourdough filled the baker's racks. They were all nicely labeled to make it easy to see what varieties were ready for purchase. I was interested in the olive bread, but went with classic sourdough. Purchased two loaves - one I had sliced as we were taking it to our grandson as a gift. The other I asked to be placed in a plastic sleeve to preserve the freshness to bring home to SoCal. It arrived in great shape! This retail bakery space is small but mighty. Not fancy, but not just utilitarian, either. It has a modest vibe, and the stars of the show are the bread loaves. A very friendly gentleman was handling the orders and elevated my visit with our brief conversation. It's not just a taste from my childhood, it's also a connection to all the wonderful flavor journeys that sourdough evokes. Long live Boudin! I wish them endless years of continued success. It's really helpful to have locations in multiple places to be able to enjoy the goodness of their baked breads and pastries. read more

4 stars because I ordered 2 clam chowder bread bowls, but they forgot one of the bread bowls... Good chowder though. They also perfected sourdough bread. The clam chowder was good - more viscous than I'm use to, but I'm from SoCal, so I'm not sure if that's how they make it out here or not. 7.8/10 for me! This Boudin is just a store front, so no seating available and all orders were to-go. The inside of the store was very small, but cozy. Felt warm and homely, nice vibe. There were maybe 4 people ahead of me in line, and my food probably came in about 20ish minutes. Not the fastest but I'd wait for it again. read more

Very nice source for Boudin's delicious sourdough, sandwiches, baked goods, etc. My wife and I have dropped by a couple of times recently, and enjoyed turkey sandwiches on sourdough rolls. Friendly service, and good prices. The selection is a little smaller than some other locations-they don't have the turkey cranberry sandwich. read more

Fresh bread and pastries. The coffee is already great, the way i like it, strong. The ladies behind counter are always pleasant.

Great sourdough bread! Small hiccup with our order, but they took care of it very well.

Got the crawfish bowl and regular one. I prefer the regular one, the bread is good not great. Definitely a chain if you were looking for authentic, you might have to try elsewhere. read more

Used to live in the neighborhood a few years ago and visited Boudin Bakery often, and it was very good. When my wife and I were in the neighborhood a few weeks ago, and we went to Boudin's on 10th Avenue and bought 3 loaves of bread...sourdough and olive. We gave two loaves to our neighbor who loves Boudin's sourdough, and he always buys a few loaves when he visits SF. But, all 3 loaves were stale, and not worth eating! Our neighbor agreed. We paid twenty something dollars for stale bread that we used to make croutons! That's really poor, Boudins! Never again! (BTW...don't bother to reply unless you agree to replace your stale bread!) read more

I'm fortunate to have a bakery of Boudin located in the Richmond District of San Francisco. My visits number 1 or 2 times each month depending on how quickly I go through Bread, and if my schedule allows multiple visits to pickup a large oval of sliced Sourdough. The shop has a great fresh bread selection, and the loaves can be requested sliced. If you are local make sure to use their mobile application, this will reward you with a monthly bread credit. As for parking it's very easy in the morning or on Sunday. read more

Boudin - Clam chowder in bread - Bakeries Near Me - San Francisco, California

Boudin in San Francisco is famous for its sourdough bread, which pairs perfectly with their clam chowder served in a bread bowl. It's an iconic experience, blending rich, creamy soup with freshly baked bread. If you enjoyed the clam chowder, you might also like their other soups or sandwiches served with sourdough. The bakery's location at Fisherman's Wharf offers a great view and the chance to watch sourdough being made! read more

Loooooong time customer- for the obvious reason- best bread in SF ! But I don't understand the unhappy unfriendly staff. At least the women in the morning ( opening shift). Too difficult to say good morning? Hello ? !! Small talk seems to be a lost art. FYI: you get better tips when you're friendly!!! read more

4 stars because the bread is the best...don't think I'll order sandwiches here though anymore....had the turkey and avocado on sourdough...aside from the bread being good the sandwich had no flavor..would have been better with oil and vinegar,etc. If they had it I wasn't offered it...other than that great service and excellent pastries..it can get tight in there so you may have to wait outside. Parking is another story ...good luck if you go later in the day or around lunch..try calling ahead read more

Caesar salad with bun, under $10. Where can you beat that price? Garlic crunchy croutons , or am i dreaming? Generous portion of chicken. Two condiment container of yummy dressing. I'm going to call it two salad meal. Way too big for one seating. The ladies are fast with the order. The lemon bar was just ok. More crust than lemon. While waiting, three different customers came in to order coffee at 3 pm! Must be good organic coffee. This is the best Boudin! Thank you! read more

Pretty abysmal service. I tried to redeem my coupon for a free cookie on my birthday and they wouldn't accept it. Even though it was my birthday and I had an email from them. And this was on my birthday. So on my birthday, this place actively humiliated me in front of the other people in line, by making me give the cookie back. They wouldn't help at all try to troubleshoot what was wrong. The low point of birthdays for me in recent years, all thanks to the boudin bakery on 10th Avenue. What a shame. Don't go here; the people working here suck. I also reached out to Boudin before writing this review. I got a reply from their corporate office saying they'd forwarded it along to the manager at this store. Never heard a peep from the manager. So not only is this store managed by a jerk, but but a cowardly one at that. read more

Boudin is quintessentially San Francisco. I used to love their clam chowder but now it's more like potato chowder. I don't get their pizza concept at all, I feel like it's overpriced. I do like their sourdough breads though I try not to eat too much carbs nowadays. Anyhoo, 3.5 stars. read more

Love coming here. This place has the best assortment of breads of all the locations and therefore my favorite location. From what I understand, the breads are made here and then distributed to the other locations. Prices are cheaper here as well. Always incredibly fresh and tasty. Staff for the most part are usually helpful and friendly. Small location so, only a few people allowed at a time. Plenty of metered street parking available. read more

I can't believe it took me this long to write a review for this place! I was visiting SF back at the end of May and I heard tales of amazing local sourdough. Some quick research led me to the historic Boudin Bakery and I knew I had to give it a try. I was up early to make my way down the PCH for a day of hiking in Big Sur. I knew I needed something substantial to keep me full throughout the day of driving, sightseeing, and walking. Boudin Bakery was exactly what I needed! Although they have several locations, this one was the most conveniently located to my hotel. Street parking was a breeze in the morning and I managed to snag a spot right across from the entrance. When I was there, the store was careful to only let one customer inside at a time per Covid-19 precautions. I thought that was very smart considering it is a small space and it certainly made me feel more comfortable. I ordered a turkey sandwich with lettuce, cheese, and mayo on the famous sourdough roll and a medium coffee. After I placed my order, I couldn't help but look at all the sweet treats in the display too... I just HAD to order something else. The cashier was kind enough to ring me up again for an almond croissant - normally I would expect someone to get a little annoyed at my indecision but she remained friendly and patient. As she poured my coffee, she made sure to ask me if she was leaving enough room for cream and she carefully poured it to my liking. As someone who can be picky about my coffee, I loved the fact that she took her time to ensure I was getting my coffee the way I liked it! When I got in the car, I immediately unwrapped my sandwich to reveal this gorgeously huge sourdough sandwich. No wonder they're so famous for it! I ate half in the morning and another half at lunchtime on Pfeiffer Beach. It was enough sustenance to last me the day and it was delicious! I will certainly be back at Boudin Bakery the next time I'm in SF. read more

This little Boudin location opens at 6am. Perfect for an early snack. I had their ham cheese croissant $4.25 and a cup of clam chowder $7. The croissant is not bad. They don't heat it up though; you know, to melt the cheese. The clam chowder came with a little piece of sourdough bread to dip into the soup. Quite frankly, the clam chowder at Safeway had more clams. I did enjoy this cup of chowder. There are much better clam chowder throughout the city. Boudin is good if you are in a hurry and don't want to sit down for some soup. Service is excellent (if you know about the one person in-store policy.) read more

Over-hyped, the chowder was thick and tasted over processed. The bread bowl was super hard. It was nice to have a warm place to wait out of the rain. Our server was really stressed out by the number of tables he had. The bloody mary wasn't tasty at all. It was a very expensive lunch mistake. It's rushed and you are nothing but a paying customer here. Get in and get out. read more

As much change as takes place in a city, it's still reassuring that some things, some institutions, abide. Such is Boudin. At least for now. This here is an OG of OG, one of the bakeries San Francisco proudly claims its own. I and millions others have loved their sourdough, from the moment we ever tasted it growing up. Chewy, crunchy, tangy, aromatic.. just a wonderful emperor of breads. The Richmond District bakery location was around long before the chain launched its way into mall and shopping plazas. You have a real city sidewalk here, with a rather unassuming store-front. Inside is a continual supply of the most glorious of baked savoury loaves that will have those of you keto culters questioning your life/diet choices. The success of Boudin is borne out in the presence it has in many suburbs and shopping malls dotted around the Golden State. Even in some rough economic times, which eventually pass, our golden sourdough state of existence has never been better, thanks owed to San Francisco and the legacy of Boudin. read more
