Banana Cream Tart
Emily W.

Came here on a busy morning waited in line about 20 minutes. While waiting in line, I see a few every table has the banana cream pie so I got one and it is absolutely the best pie I ever had. Inside is a buttery banana slice covered with cream outside with a crunchy tart at the bottom. My second favorite is the morning bun. No wonder it is so popular everyone in line all gets it and the price is $1 dollar!! absolutely amazing, It is very airy buttery dough with cinnamon sugar toppings. The second pastry I got is the tomato fillings with croissant pastry. It is a seasonal dish at that time. The server recommended for me to try and it is a good savory dish. Lastly the chocolate croissant is buttery and flaky. It is pricey, but it's worth it to treat yourself once a while! Or just get the morning buns!

A staple for bakeries and love this place. Their tres leches cake is amazing. Moist layers of vanilla with coconut milk and chiffon, not too sweet. perfect for any celebration. Corner spot with interior and exterior seating where you can enjoy your coffee and pastry. Service was excellent as the employee gave me a bag to hold the cake. The small things that make each experience good here.

Comfy little corner bakery/cafe with some outdoor seating with a good selection of baked goods /lunch sandwich /salad! Prices are reasonable for the bay area and portion are sharable! Love the mushroom cheese croque monsieur loaded with so much mushroom and gooey cheese Their sourdough bread are delicious with a great amount of chew !! Their simple cheese sandwich does not disappoint too! One thing I do have to recommend is adding a bit more chocolate baton/piece to the chocolate croissant, it was just not enough chocolate inside them ! Staff was attentive and friendly ! I even grab a loaf of bread home to Sacramento

Tartine Bakery is well-known and now about to open another location in FiDi. This Guerrero location is their original flag ship bakery. The OG, the one that started it all. Known for amazing morning buns, country bread, croissants, and long lines on the weekends. I really like their Ham & Cheese with Jalapeno croissants in this location. One of my fav! Tastes amazing. Located on Guerrero and 18th St.

Turkey sandwich on sourdough.
Debbi P.

Fabulous bakery and sandwich shop!! Famous for their sourdough sandwiches, coffees and fresh pastries. Long lines that move quickly and only add to the anticipation. The sandwiches are truly delicious but it's the bread that makes them so special. Don't forget to get a fresh loaf to go. Tables inside. Friendly staff.

A friend recommended this place after we had lunch nearby. I walked in and saw an eye-dropping amount of pastries behind the glass, but I was concerned that there was a huge line. But my friend assured me that the line went by pretty quickly. I was just picking up some pastries, so I got one of the chili and cheddar scones and the chocolate rye tea bread. Both were really good. I actually think the chocolate rye tea bread was amazing. I wish I had gotten two of them. This spot was really busy on a Sunday afternoon, and I saw a bunch of people enjoying delicious treats. The lunch menu looked good as well. I would try this again if I were in the area.

I am so glad to have found this spot. My husband took some banana cream pie tarts, tres leches slice and croissant to go for us; and omg the croissant is so flaky, buttery, delicious! Their banana cream pie tart is divine; though their tres leches cake was dry and just okay; the other items just knocked it out of the park! Love, absolutely love their croissants! Good croissants are flaky, buttery, and delicious and these fit the mark!

Rae W.

Lovely corner bakery in the Mission with French pastries and a coffee bar. All the pastries look and sound delicious. Picked up a variety of pastries including a morning bun, frangione croissant, a raspberry rose geranium Danish and a banana walnut muffin. Who can resist a pastry called a raspberry rose geranium danish? There was a line out the door, but it moved. Prices are steep and reflect the reputation and clientele.

Tartine absolutely lives up to its reputation. We tried the chocolate chip cookie, turkey sandwich, fruit tart, and corn salad, and everything felt thoughtfully made with high-quality ingredients! The chocolate chip cookie had crisp edges, a soft center, and plenty of rich chocolate without being overly sweet with the salt touch. The turkey sandwich had soft bread, quality turkey, and the chicken skin is unique and provided a balance would love to try a panini next. The fruit tart was beautiful and incredibly fresh, with perfectly ripe fruit and a light, creamy filling that wasn't too sweet. The corn salad was a pleasant surprise too and maybe a favorite with bright herby bites that complemented the richer bakery items. Everything tasted fresh, and you can tell Tartine focuses on quality rather than overcomplicating dishes. Expect a line, especially during peak hours, but it's worth the wait. Whether you're stopping in for pastries or lunch, it's an iconic San Francisco bakery that's easy to recommend.

Pain Au Jambon, Croissant, Morning Bun, Banana Cream Tart
Elisa L.

Had to come by to try the famous Tartine Bakery and I have to say it's one of the best in SF! We placed an online order for a Sunday morning and it was ready by the scheduled time. There was no line to order when we arrived around 9:30 am but a line constantly formed after. There's a few tables indoors and outdoors and we were able to find a table. Sizes are pretty big but prices are on the higher end. -Croissant (4.5/5): tasty and nicely crispy, flaky, and moist -Pain au jambon (4/5): flaky and crispy croissant with ham and cheese, savory but a bit salty -Morning bun (4.5/5): my favorite! Tasty, crispy and moist with a good amount of sweetness -Banana cream tart (4/5): crispy flaky exterior and moist creamy interior! Banana cream wasn't overly sweet and tasted like real bananas

Ham & Cheese Croissant ($7.75), Croissant ($6.25), Banana Cream Tart ($11.50), Morning Bun ($6.50)
Allison L.

They truly deserve their title as one of the top pastries in SF! Was concerned about the line so we placed an order ahead for a Sunday pickup the morning of, and it was ready at the scheduled time. We shared 4 pastries for 4 people and were satisfied. A little pricey but it all tasted fresh and high quality. Interior is pretty tight and crowded but we luckily found a table ro eat at Morning Bun (4.5/5): one of the best morning buns I've had! Perfectly sweet and zesty Plain Croissant (4.5/5): had a nice crunch and was buttery Pain Au Jambon/Ham & Cheese Croissant (4/5): savory and not overly salty Banana Cream Tart (4/5): banana flavor wasn't overpowering and I liked the fresh banana pieces inside. Was very filling and surprisingly not too sweet

Double Pain Au Chocolat and a Lemon Cream Tart
Cody D.

A local we met on the ferry to Alcatraz told us about Tartine, so after lunch we headed this way. It was late afternoon so they were sold out of some things, namely the almond croissant, but we made due. The lemon tart was amazing. If their other pies are half as good as this tart...holy cow. We wished we had come in the morning, but it was still worth the Uber trip to the area to try this place out.

Avocado tartine with bacon and egg
Amanda M.

The first time I came here, I didn't love the breakfast sandwich on a potato bun. I came back recently and ordered a tartine, and it was great! Of course, the toasted bread is delicious. They were generous on the avocado and I liked the seasoned nuts for a little extra texture and salty flavor. I added bacon, which was nice and thick, and a fried egg that was cooked perfectly. Despite coming on a mid-Sunday morning with a line out the door, were seated and had food in front of us probably within 30 minutes. They've definitely got their process down! I wasn't sold the first time, but this last visit changed my mind!

Ask the Community - Tartine Bakery

How many people does the 6 inch devils food chocolate cake serve?

For me, ONE! :). But I think it's officially up to 6 -- or 8 if you are watching your waist!

Can I order Mille feuille cake for pickup?

Are you selling the gingerbread tiles yet?

Is this a good spot to work from (noise level, wifi speed etc.)?

It's not a good place to work from.

Are they still accepting online orders?

No!

Is this place dog friendly?

No it's not

How much for big banana cream tart?

$56.00

Do they usually have Banana cream tarts in early morning?(when they open)

Yes , they even had some at closing time on a Saturday!! You can call ahead too!

What does their baker's choice mystery box contain? How many pieces (how many people will it feed)? What is the value? Sweet or savory or both?

Do they make a banana cream pie and if not do you all know a good place that does thank you so much?

The banana cream pie is the best!

Is everything sold out by late afternoon/evening?

No, but the popular items like morning buns do sell out early at times. I've had luck at various times for many different items.

Will the morning buns still be good if I purchase them one day in advance?

not as good but we put it in toaster oven on low baking 200 degrees and it was reasonably revived. You have to keep the bun airtight so it doesn't get too dry.

Do whole cakes have to be preordered?

A necessity? No. But if you see the way they fly out the door you'll absolutely order in advance!

East bay distributors?

Ha! You wish :-) Not that I know of. I could be wrong but I've not seen or heard of Tartine distributing anything outside of their restaurants. They're opening in LA. soon.

I have a friend in town this weekend. Any recs from Tartine?

It depends what you guys like. -If you like fruit, get: Strawberry Mousseline Cake (similar to… 

Will they slice the bread for you (if you're buying a loaf)?

Yes

How long is the line on mondays?

Sorry, we passed through on a road trip. I can't even remember what day or time we were there but they are efficient in keeping the line moving. Whatever you do be ready to order when you get to that point or there will probably be a riot.

Which is better: Tartine's morning bun or B Patisserie's Kouignn Amann?

Eventhough Tartine kills it with their pastries, cakes and pies... this one goes to B Patisserie's Kouignn Amann!

What are the top 3 items to order here because I know I will eat more than 1?

I just want to reiterate: banana cream tart should be on the top of the list. In fact buy two. But… 

How long is the line at 9am on Saturday?

It's probably a 30 minute line right now.

Having heard nothing but rave reviews for AB, I finally tried it for myself and now understand why…read morethere's always line. Due to scheduling, I wasn't able to arrive until an hour before closing on a Friday which meant many of the items were sold out. When I arrived, there was a line so I had my buddy drop me off while he found parking. In retrospect, I should have had him drive around the block a few times as the line moved fast and there wasn't much to choose from. Since we both didn't know how quick the transaction would be, he figured out the metered parking, which was a feat in and of itself, and when he was walking over to the bakery, I was done with pastries in hand. Only one customer is allowed in the narrow shop at a time while the other customers queue up waiting to be signaled to step forward. As for seating, there is none so no one hangs around. Of the croissants remaining, I ordered all of them: Chocolate Almond Croissant - full of almond paste and chocolate, you could share this one, but why? This was my favorite. Almond Croissant - very good Kouign-amann - good sized While you can't enjoy the warm croissants with coffee at the shop, my buddy and I tucked in as soon as we got into the car. Good thing we carry a vacuum to clean up all the crumbs.

So good! Definitely one of the best croissant bakeries in SF. We went on a Sunday morning close to…read more11 and there was a long line. It took about 20 minutes to get to the front, which wasn't too bad. We had the potato mushroom, caramel apple, pistachio and plain croissants. The croissant had a nice flaky crust and had all the pockets you would expect from a good croissant. They were all delicious but our favorite was the apple and mushroom potato. The mushroom potato was one of the best savory croissants we have ever had. The Apple croissant tasted like apple pie. There is no seating in the bakery. They do sell cute merchandise worth checking out. Everyone was very nice and friendly. Would highly recommend a visit!

Would I wait 2+ hours for any baked goods? Probably not…read more I've done it before and I realized nothing is worth the wait. That's why I decided to take my chances around 11am when the line was significantly shorter. I waited maybe 15-20 minutes. Downside was I didn't have too many savory options left to choose from. I had only one savory option left: the butternut chorizo croquiche. Only thing I wish they did was separate the savory from the sweet because when we bit into it, pieces of chorizo fell onto the dessert-y pastries. Reminded me of that Friends episode where Rachel made a beef trifle for dessert. *I wasn't supposed to put beef in the trifle* I think the savory pastry was the best. We also had the chocolate chip cookie (not my fav, too crumbly), the banana pain au chocolat and the lemon vanilla bean filled cruffin. I'm having vague memories of that last one. I just remember it was really messy when you unleashed the cream. Among the sweet desserts, I liked the banana chocolate croissant the best! It wasn't overly sweet. I also got the salted maple pecan latte and I really enjoyed their housemade whipped cream! And the latte wasn't too sweet either :) I expected to spend a pretty penny on 4 pastries and a latte. It was ~$40 overall. It was less sticker shock and more quiet resignation. Anyway, I would still happily try their pastries again as I know they have a seasonal menu, but you won't find me in line at 7am.

Heard about this place and I'm so glad it was open today! Usually there's only one item for sale…read moreon any given day, and the menu item for today was Moon Cake. I hadn't had a traditional one yet this year, so that was a plus for me. Normally I'm not crazy about the nut moon cakes, but this one was terrific! It was the best moon cake I've had in a while - regular lotus seed with yolk and nuts. The lady at the bakery reminded me of an "auntie" and she was super friendly! Even though today was moon cake, I took a chance and asked if she had any wife cake (Low Po Behng). Unfortunately she didn't, but we had a nice little conversation in Cantonese and it brought me back to childhood and Chinatown in L.A. back in the day. Some people might not like that it's closed (I think that's when she runs out or isn't baking that day) but that's just how it goes. It's nothing personal if someone drives a long way and it's closed. It sounds like sometimes the lines can be long (There was no line for us today - score!) but it's everyone's choice if they're willing to wait or not. It's a little place and you order through the door. To me, that just adds to the quirky adventure of it all. Next time I hope she has Low Po Behng!

FINALLY able to try the egg tarts from Golden Gate Bakery after numerous attempts. The hours are so…read moreunpredictable, and we honestly wouldn't have realized it was open if there wasn't a line on the sidewalk because the gates were still drawn. Took about 15-20 minutes to get through several people. We tried both the egg tarts ($3.50/ea) and the white lotus paste double egg yolk mooncake ($13). They don't use lard, so if you're vegetarian, snack away! Egg tart shell was super flaky and thin; custard was *very* egg-y. It was a little more like egg souffle than egg custard, and not as silky as I personally like. Still delicious though, 8/10. Mooncake was pretty solid and the filling had some surprise macadamia nuts in there, which added a nice texture. The skin wasn't my favorite, but I think that's just personal preference. Not too sweet. 7/10. Would come back to grab an egg tart if I ever happen to catch this place open again.
