Far Breton Bakery

The questions are how quickly will I be back and how often! Good food and service make me smile. Walking in for my first visit, I was greeted from someone appearing from the baking area. She was friendly and enthusiastic about describing the goods for my first visit. So good, that I ended up with three baked goods all for me! They may have a giant Jersey cow out back grazing on sugar cane for all the deliciousness in each item. The quiche may have been the creamiest I have ever had tucked into to a flaky crust. The day old cardamom made a great afternoon snack. Each bite’s flavor profile was a mouth party. The Kouign-amann is decadent.

Where do I start. I had high hopes given the reviews but what I received was a complete opposite of what I was expecting. The pan au chocolate was the densest piece of bread I’ve ever had in my life. Completely lacked yeast and butter it appeared. What was this supposed to be? Unclear. It sunk in my stomach I had to wait hours to recover. Then on to the Kouign Amann—one of my most favorite pastries I’ve had in San Francisco. Again a total brick with limited lamination. Unclear this is the correct dough recipe? certainly unusual for a bakery. The flavors are there but unclear they are supposed to be this heavy and unproved. I’d give this place another try but not sure what to expect.

REALLY fresh bakery & DELICIOUS! Very nice woman took care of us early morning on 10-18. She took the time to explain what everything was. We probably bought more than we needed, but it was worth it!

An absolute delight! The pain noir are one of my favorite pastries in this town, and it's a gift every time they're available! But if you go in and they're not there, everything else is absolutely outstanding. 😊🌈 Low on cash? No problem! Grab some of their day old bakery items, toss them in the toaster oven for a minute, and they are still an exceptional joy. Kind staff, lovely space, highly recommend!

This bakery is adequate, but they sold me burnt croissants. At $5.00 per croissant, the public deserves better. I won't be a regular customer here.
