My nephew took me to Tartine, and his advice was excellent. The pastry was wonderful, the place cozy, although the temporary art on the walls a touch edgy. Nothing could take away from beautifully prepared flakey, wonderful baked goods. A must! more

Perhaps I need to go back and actually order something from the Bakery because the pastry's are all the rage. I went for lunch and ordered a prosciutto sandwhich, decent but I prefer cold prosciutto not warm. The mini spicy pickled carrots were a nice touch. Will return for some sweets next time :) more

Maybe we were there at a bad time, but this place had a line going out the door and an indifferent staff waiting to serve you once you got to the counter. Their wares were poorly lit and displayed, and once we tasted them, unremarkable. Take the trip the Citizen Cake instead. more

My husband and I try to make it here at least once a month to treat ourselves. There are so many delicious pastries and treats, I can't choose just one favorite. Go with whatever tickles your fancy, you seriously can't go wrong! Wonderful coffee, too! more

The breads were incredible, the cheeses we ate were at their freshest and I had, hands down,... more

We had dinner elsewhere, but we are glad we chose to save room for dessert at Tartine! We tried a little of several things. The Dark Chocolate Cookie was so good we got more to take with us; then we came back the next day for more to bring home. more

Wonderful of selection of excellent France inspired baked goods, combined with non pretentious San Francisco attitude! Great food, atmosphere, staff and patrons. Tough to get a table, but that is a clear indication of the quality of this place. Why travel to France with this place on your door step? more
