"Rather than spend 20 years waiting in line at the original Arguello location of this well-regarded French bakery, it’s easy to drop by the McAllister Street outpost for world-class croissants and breakfast sandwiches. Nestled between Civic Center and the Tenderloin, this shop is perfect for kouign amann, which are on the rise in the city; they go for $4.50, and dark roast coffees costs just $2.50." - Paolo Bicchieri
