It’s hard to pinpoint one reason to love Tartine: Is it the flies-off-the-counter fresh-baked bread; the buttery morning buns; the ooey-gooey breakfast bread pudding; the giant, steaming lattes; or simply the people watching out the cafe’s corner windows? The answer: all of the above.

This Mission gourmet scoop shop and bakery dishes seasonal ice creams year-round. Flavors include salted caramel, ginger, and roasted pumpkin — served in organic cones. Other treats (house-made brownies, toffee chip cookies, cakes, and pies) beg to be taken home.
