Perched on a corner in the Mission, no sign or awning to give away its location, one could easily drive past without noticing they’ve missed one of the best bakeries in the city. Luckily, the constant line of patrons pouring out the door of Tartine Bakery helps draw the eye, and by constant I mean, rain or shine, expect to see some sort of line. While I was waiting in line to order, I couldn’t help but appreciate the dated decor that’s changed very little since the sixties, exuding a sorta hipster charm that has come to define the Mission district for some.
This is one of my favorite places for buttery/flakey croissants, amazing morning buns, scones, and freshly baked loaves of French bread. I love their macarons, which make a nice gift if you can manage not to eat them first. The chocolate souffle cake is extremely rich and should advisably be consumed with one of their oversized lattes, which are served in a bowl. For those looking for something savory, try one of their pressed sandwiches or the croque-monsieur. |Tartine Bakery|

Located on the corner of 24th and Castro in the Noe Valley district, Subs Inc. combines choice deli cuts, freshly baked bread, tomatoes, crisp iceberg lettuce and onions, all to create a satisfyingly delicious sandwich.
A good sandwich always starts with the bread, and Subs Inc. has some amazing Dutch crunch. Try it with their roasted turkey and cranberry sauce or their hot pastrami. The meatball sub is also delicious, perfect on a sweet roll. For dessert, there’s plenty of ice cream to sample.

Owned and operated by the Bosco family since opening in 1929, Lucca Delicatessen has been a Marina staple, satisfying local cravings for gourmet Italian sandwiches, premium deli meats, homemade pastas, and focaccia for generations. Lucca roasts and ages many of their own meats; their homemade ravioli, gnocchi, tortellini, and bread sticks are all worth sampling.
It should be no surprise to see the line extend out of the door and down the street, because crafting a great sandwich takes time. Here the meats and cheeses are sliced to order, the tomatoes, onions and pickles, are all cut that day, and their signature red pepper spread is house made. Fresh bread is just as crucial to make a great sandwich, and I love that I can come here and get my sandwich on a Acme rosemary roll that was freshly baked that morning. Sometimes the wait in line does have its benefits; a few visits back I was next in line to Speaker of the House and SF native Nancy Pelosi, who was very friendly and approachable. I believe she recommended the Prosciutto. |Luccadeli|
