This place serves the best croissants in San Francisco, possibly the country. It is tiny and only open mornings and early afternoons. There always is a line, but it isn't as bad as a line in the Mission (this is in the Inner Richmond). Everything here is good. They only have coffee, croissants, and morning buns (and the like).

This is probably the best bakery in San Francisco. It is connected to the San Francisco Baking Academy, so it is especially French. Everything is highly recommended, but especially go for one of the bread puddings (they always have 2: 1 is savory and 1 is sweet). They're delicious and will make you re-think bread pudding.

Go here for the tacos. They make the tortillas fresh and on-the-spot for your order with fresh masa. If you want to watch, walk towards the back on the left hand side of the restaurant (opposite the cashier) and the masa and tortilla grill is in right there for you!

This is the oldest Burmese restaurant in San Francisco, and this is the only location. Unlike the local chain Burma Superstar, this place is not trendy. However, we think the food is much better, the owner is always there greeting guests, you have real Buddhist alters, the decor is quirky, and the food is better. We always bring our personal guests here when they visit! Get the tea leaf salad and the somusa soup for appetizers. We highly recommend the mango chicken and Burmese special noodles.
