California Bakery
719 Taraval St, San Francisco, CA
Crema's Take
“Tucked into San Francisco, California Bakery is a warm neighborhood gem run by a lovely older couple who treat every customer like family. Their showstopper is an impressive lineup of French donuts and hand pies that come out constantly throughout the day, alongside excellent banh mi sandwiches and savory pastries that keep locals coming back. It's the kind of place where a quick coffee grab transforms into a lingering sit, especially when you're biting into something freshly made and genuinely delicious.”
What to expect
Classic coffee drinks done right. A slow-sit spot, quick-grab. Pastries and light food on the menu.
