Tartine, Inc. Reviews

Amazing pastries, but the to-go coffee cups can't be trusted. The union between the cup and the lid is such that it spills out the sides as you walk, and leaks out onto you through the same union as you try to drink.

Crazy wait for little better than an average bakery. I guess wait is a norm in SF.

Usually a pretty long line that moves rather quickly. Worth the wait! Everything is so crazy delicious

Be ready for a wait- but well worth it! Make sure to take some bread home with you. The morning buns are to die for

By far the most amazing bakery I have ever been to!!! I had the best croissant I have ever tasted !!!

Good bakery, but the long lines makes the wait a bit too much for me.

The first time I came here they were out of the banana cream tart. *sighs* so I got the passion fruit lime Bavarian rectangle. Ehhhhhhhhh. I thought it was just ok. Definetly did not understand the hype of tartine just based on that item.

BUT THEN I came back and tried the banana cream tart. WHAT. THIS is what people are talking about when they come to tartine. There's a reason it's one of their most popular items, it is BOMB. It's surprisingly light, but you can taste the layers of dark chocolate, caramel, and the crust. SO GOOOOOOD.

There's usually a line and it may be hard to find a spot to eat. BUT WORTH IT.

You may not know it, but when you dream of pastries, this is the place you are dreaming about. There is a constant line out the door and down the street, but the long wait is worth it. The scents coming out of the place torture you as you wait in line until you finally get a glimpse of the goodies waiting for you inside.

Very delicious baking room, you will see that the most people queue up from a distance.It is quite inconvenient to queue up to find a seat for internal use.Although there is a place outdoors, the seat is still far from the crowds. Even the famous park suggest that you can buy it and eat it while enjoying the scenery.It is especially recommended that the lemon tower is really delicious.It is definitely the top three lemon towers I have eaten in life. The flavor goes to the next level!

One each savory and sweet scone. Excellent. So many other things I wanted to get.

Cons: the music was too loud (employees couldn't hear customer's orders) and they got my order wrong for the croque monsieur (ham instead of turkey).

Pros: Absolutely hands-down THE BEST pain au chocolat I have ever had in my life, and I've had it in France, Austria, and Switzerland. From what I smelled and saw the quality of this patisserie is high caliber. Visit it for a guaranteed quality treat!

I'm giving it a 3 because of the bad customer service that I've received. Got some attitude from the cashier. He also seemed very impatient as I was asking a question. Overall product was good. I got the Ham Croissant.

A nice shop in line. Bread pudding shines other tarts are really delicious!

The croissants and the banana creme tart. Honestly, this place would get a four because it's such a pain to find a place to sit, but the pastries get a six, so it balances out.

Fantastic flavours in our food! My husband had the savoury mushroom Croque Monsiuer and I had the sweet Bread Pudding flavoured with lovely fruits. The coffee was really good but only available in a small size.
The decor and seating is basic but the food is delicious. It's a bit pricey but we'd definitely eat here again.

Would recommend the mushroom croque monsieur as well as the bread pudding. Morning bun is okay but not the greatest thing ever. Lemon tart (pictured) is good but, again, not spectacular.

The chocolate cake is not the former, but the crumbles are too sweet and the lemon cake is the real lemon. I do not have the lemon food. I always eat the fresh lemon tea lemon bread. ..... ah ....... too much left .... This photo is left to eat. Why is lemon used? Why?

If I lived near Tartine, I'd be there everyday. Unreplicable ambiance. Friendly and quick service. Even their customers are friendly! Love the artwork too.

The only question here: is it a great bakery, or the greatest bakery? This question has stumped all of our greatest philosophers, since time immemorial. Upon eating his first croissant, Plato himself fell silent and, dumbfounded, exclaimed, "Eureka, I have found a delicious treat. May I have a Triple, Venti, Half Sweet, Non-Fat, Caramel Macchiato with which to wash down this delectable comestible?" I walked him to the nearest Starbucks, and then immediately returned to Tartine, for it is that good.

This place is always packed. It's created the phenomenon that you see on that Portlandia episode where the line to a particular breakfast place goes on for blocks. I'm not sure how they did it. It's good food, but a danish for $5 seems crazy. You'll have fun, though.

Overall this place was delicious. What my friend and I ordered was a bit pricy but I would pay a higher price for those items again. The top dessert was the lemon tart, which was super tangy but balanced with the meringue on top. The bottom dessert was a banana cream pie. It has a super flakey crust with a bottom caramel layer, bananas, vanilla bean pudding, a mountain of whipped cream, and chocolate shavings. I will be bringing friend and loved ones here when they visit.

Great bread and pastries. Fresh bread arrives around 16:30 to 17h There's always a line, so plan accordingly.

So far, quite tasty. Wow! No wonder their sour dough bread is world renound. Wow! Everything i ate i loved. Really!

Tartine bakery is the best! Love their bread pudding with seasonal fruit and all their pastries. If you stop by in the afternoon, it's a must to grab one of their prized baguettes

Coconut cream tart and croque monsieur are perfect!

Great place to spend half your weekend in line listening to the hipsters waiting in front of you. Seriously though, the bakery is legendary, they're just a victim of their own success.

Their lemon bars turn into sludge after a day left in no heat and this is after being told that it was fine in room temperature. The employee I talked to about it was really flippant and rude, acting like I was dirt at the bottom of her shoe. It seems like they thought they're the one that's famous, not the bakery. While not everyone there is like that, that's still not a good sign...

If you have a sweet tooth, Ariscault has the best best chocolate almond croissant. If I have to, I would open a line of credit to eat here. If you go on a weekend past 8am then there's going to be a line but the line moves fast enough so stave any hanger issues.

The morning bun is amazing. Actually, everything here is amazing.

Awesome bread! Yeah, the line was long, but it was absolutely worth the wait. Me coming from Germany, I am always looking for decent bread, and here it is! Beer and book are also very good.

Just a few tables in this cozy corner coffee shop. Awesome coffee and food. I always go to this place when I visit SF.

Long lines but great pastries. It's a bit overly oily though

Excellent bread and pastry. One of the best in the city. Many times there are people lining up for this place.

The food is really good. The best croissant ever. The bad is waiting in the long line and not explained things. They receive a lot of tourists but don't explain or present the products, so my tip is, ask everything. Furthermore, they need to speed up, stay in line 10 to 15 minutes to get a croissant isn't good. The country bread toast with butter and jam is unbelievable.

Perhaps I was expecting too much; I was very disappointed in my experience at Tartine. My friends and I waited in line for a half hour to try their renowned tarts and pastries. I sampled the Lemon Tart, the Pain Au Chocolate, and a Fruit Crumble.

The Pain Au Chocolate was not crispy and flakey as I expected it to be, the Lemon Tart too heavy and buttery, and the Fruit Crumble was bland and again, overly buttery. While the ingredients that they use are fresh, the pastries were far better looking than tasting and the atmosphere all around too chaotic. I am not sure that I would visit Tartine again.

Quiche, morning buns, and bread pudding are all excellent.

There are so many pastries and cakes to choose from and the coffee and drinks are very nice too. Great food for lunch or breakfast

Great baked goods, service is slower than you would ever expect from a bakery, but I guess having a line at all times is good for business.

Mixed feelings when I went there they were closed down because of an infestation of some kind

great recipes, organic strauss cream, best ingredients. if you don't rush to work the line is fun too.

Came 30 min before closing. They were very rude. Saying we are closed. Food was ok.

Amazing deserts and lunch, definitely a place to stop if you are in sf. Fun wine and drink selection.

Amazing pastry options. The banana creme is loaded and to die for!

The pain au jambon was awesome, a bit expensive but worth it.

Best thing to do is order 3 days ahead for pickup. Lines are super long on weekends and if you're picking up you can slip the line.
The baked goods are delicious. Best croissant I've ever had and the lemon meringue cake (not pie) is wonderfully tart.

The best tarts in whole SF! Real french style pastries, bread and cakes to die for, and a very cute setting. Gets very busy in the afternoon when they are baking new batch of bread though.

Not sure what's the big deal considering there are so many better bakeries in the city with just as good pastries for far cheaper. Did not get to try the bread.

Good pastries, long lines, and very pricey. Good for first-timers and baking enthusiasts. Plenty of other great bakeries in the city, though.

Kudos for the Frangipane Croissant and the Morning Bun. The frangipane was excellent and we loved the caramelization on the morming bun. The Pain au Chocolat was not exceptional though. The coffee was just there, nothing noteworthy.

To die for, the pastries and bread is surreal. I suggest everything lol.

Simply amazing. Most classical pastries like scones and croissants are available in a sweet and savory version, with the latter combining excellent mixes of cheeses, mushrooms, or meats which complement each other very well. The scone dough had that nice soda bread taste. The croque monsieur had a local ham that only got better with toasting. The hazelnuts in the hazelnut tart were the freshest I've tasted in years. Don't miss Tartine if anywhere near around brunch time!

If you're look for pastries, obviously you're at the right place. Overall experience was okay. Sandwiches were large and decent but staff was not helpful. I felt rushed and unorganized.

Tasty but rich. Try the lemon squares, lemon custard, banana cream tarts (with chocolate), brownies to go.

This place is so good there s usually a line out the door! Monday afternoons are pretty easy to get in!

This is where you get real pastries,the line is worth the wait. The best of the best

Come here if you're a baked good snob, and even if you're not. Pretty much everything is very good, and I find myself salivating and becoming very indecisive as I approach the glass case. Bonus for the ~cool Mission vibes~

Too much hype, too pricey, too crowded. Not worth it.

If you're going to go, and you should, get there early to avoid the lines. The sourdough loaf is amazing. The bread pudding is amazing. The cakes are decadent. The sandwiches are heavenly.

Incredible bakery with so many incredible things to try.

The only downside is that there is usually a really long line. It's best to go at off-peak hours.

LOCAL TIP: Did you know you can subscribe to get weekly bread and then you can pick it up without waiting in line?

Amazing pastries and tarts. Yes the interior is not fancy and service is not really there much. But honestly, you can t get it all!

Best sourdough bread I've had in SF! And I've had Boudin sourdough as well. The pastries are also amazing! My only issue was that the sandwiches had bread that were a little greasy and overly toasted and too expensive for what you get. Some vegetarian options, no vegan food options.

Worth the long wait. Loved the croque monsieur and the morning buns.

It s actually rare for me to try freshly baked bread. Definitely a treat trying the baguettes and the sourdough bread here. Was only able to try the almond croissant but they were all a treat to have. Parking as usual is difficult but worth the try after you find a spot.
