"Tartine—ever heard of it? San Francisco’s most famous bakery in the Mission has gone global. There are locations in LA and Seoul, cookbooks, and spin-offs like Tartine Manufactory. At the heart of what makes their influence so far-reaching is their legendary bread. The Tartine team has nailed it, and you should absolutely experience one of their rustic country loaves at least once in your life. You’ll stand in line for it, so make sure to pair the bread with standout chocolate croissants, morning buns, and eclairs while you’re there." - julia chen 1, lani conway, ricky rodriguez, patrick wong
