Tartine Manufactory

Tartine Bakery is one of the most famous bakeries in San Francisco.
It’s a twenty year old bakery which makes breads and pastries with the traditional technique but also with new ideas.



There are three Tartine bakeries in San Francisco.
Tartine Manufactory is one of them and located on the Alabama street, in the area with the industrial / hip atmosphere.

Parking is not easy around there but this day we were lucky to find a parking spot near the bakery and bought three goodies.





Pain au Jambon
This is Ham and cheese croissant.
Its texture is rich for croissant than being flaky because of the very generous amount of cheese.
The size of the croissant itself is quite generous too.
It’s a pricey pastry but makes you feel full.

Crumb cake
Moist cake and crispy crumble melted together in my mouth.

And today’s main event: Country loaf!
Beautiful color. Just looking at it makes me smile.
Nice sourdough flavor. Crispy outside, chewy inside.
When you toast it lightly, it becomes so soft!




To honor this bread we made an anchovies platter and had it with Château Maillard Graves 2018.
I thought that red Bordeaux might have been too heavy for the food but actually it was a good choice.
