So…Lisa and I ventured to a few bakeries in the city…Boulangerie on filmore street and Tartine Bakery in the mission district. The Boulangerie was amazing. The store was so cute and their pastries were outstanding. They had samples of their cream cheese danish out…seriously..the best danish I have ever had! It was so buttery in flavor and crispy but still light. Yum! I tried their macaroons also..which I wasnt so impressed with..and brought home a palmier…which didnt have enough sugar on it..but…I guess you cant be the best in everthing:)
tNext we went to Tartine Bakery and we met up with Jen and Gaby there. They got a lemon tart and something else that escapes my mind(must not have been that good!). We got it to go and went to the park just up the block to enjoy. There were SO many people there…and they were all so different. It was great people watching…which I love! We hung out til it started to get dark..and then went to delfina for pizza. Their pizza was amazing! It was crispy neopolitan style pie…with a great flavor and charcoal crust. We were sitting outside along the sidewalk..and seriously…everyone that walked by said “this place has the best pizza in the city” as they walked by. I ordered my own margharita pizza and took leftovers home! I definitely recommend visiting brite market just up the block from the park and next to delfina. They are a local, family owned market specializing in local products. They also opened an ice cream shop across the street that had the best salted caramel ice cream I have ever had!

Hello, I found your site while searching for culinary schools in the Bay area. You have a great site (though the neon lime green burns my eyes :-p ), and it’s helping me get an idea of what culinary school will be like. I’ve been to San Francisco a few times and the food and scenery there is incredible. I’ll be sure to check out Delfina Pizzeria and the Brite market the next time I visit. Thanks for the interesting insights, and keep up the great work!
