This bakery makes probably the best Focaccia bread in the world outside Italy. Its not only the bread, buying it is an adventure! :) You say the sort you would like, the "bread-women" gets it, you put 5 usd on the counter, take the bread and leave. If you say something, comes too late etc; then it is "no bread... More

They always sell out before you think they might, but it's well worth getting up and out a little early to make a purchase to enjoy all day long. Best EVER.

If you're in North Beach stop at the Liguria Bakery and grab a focaccia square to go! It's so delicious, as greasy as it should be. Every bite reminded me of my summertime vacations in Cinque Terre, Liguria. Just go with the plain, no need to add extra flavors.

The only thing special about this standard bearer of the Italian Flag is the focaccia and despite the plain exterior, interior or the brusque acknowledgment that you even exist, you indeed are there just for that, the focaccia! While in San Francisco, I wouldn't miss a visit there for anything. It manifests childhood memories and those of the Sonoma vineyards... More

I still buy their foccacia when I am in the neighborhood. It is wonderful. Forget Mama's in three years of living there I never bothered with the wait I went to Curley's. Yes they may have the attitude that they do not need you but that is because they don't. My wife worked with a woman who lived in their... More

This wonderful bakery is accoss the street from mama resturant where you will be in line a hour. Get a piece of Foccacia to share from Liguria in seven varieties. My favorite is jalapeno and cheese or Pizza!! Simply the best you will ever have and you may just pig out and skipped the hour wait~~~

Nestled in the Italian section of San Francisco (known as North Beach), Liguria Bakery offers authentic Italian baked goods and treats. Their breads and foccacia are very popular and often sell out. This place is categorized under restaurants on Trip Advisor, but it is just a small bakery. Delicious food and pleasant service!

It's all you get. And it's all you need. Owner was cute- i told her about her ranking and her reply was I'm never on the Internet. I believe it! Old school applies here. And I'm sure it's what makes it so good, 103 year old business. Cash only.
