Known forCrab cheddar bread bowlRustic tomato bread bowlTurkey and avocado sandwichChocolate chip cookie
A San Francisco institution at Fisherman's Wharf famous for clam chowder served in a sourdough bread bowl. The bakery excels at fresh bread, pastries, and cookies, with a split layout offering self-service on the ground floor and a more relaxed upstairs dining area. Fair warning: while the bread and signature soup are excellent, other menu items like chili can be disappointing.
