Tartine Bakery

Pin It Now!
So everyone knows that Tartine Bakery has some pretty delectable pastries and desserts, but their bread is amazing too.  It's only offered Tuesday through Sunday after 5pm.  If you can't make it down there, you can preorder it up to three days in advance.
Even late in the afternoon, there's still a line!
#24 -Loaf of Bread straight out of the oven at Tartine Bakery - 7x7's 2012 Top 100
The bread is offered in full and half loaves and they sell them straight out of the oven so the loaves are hot when you get them.  I've never been lucky enough to get my hands on a fresh loaf until today.  Usually I get fresh loaves at Acme Bread (see post HERE).  Tartine's bread has a chewier crust with a slightly sour finish.  Acme's bread has a fluffier texture and feel versus Tartine's is springy.  I don't think one is better than the other, but they are different.  Tartine's fresh tasting bread is probably best served with just a pat of butter and lightly toasted to appreciate its simple clean taste.
