Thorough Bread & Pastry

Pin It Now!

It seems like every good bakery in the city always has a line out the door.  It made me a little hesitant to find no line and not one pastry sold out, but Thorough Bread & Pastry must still be one of those hidden gems waiting to be discovered by the masses. 

A stunning array of pastries, cookies, and cakes.  One of the nicest things to discover about this bakery is the cute backyard patio with outside seating to enjoy your pastries.

Almond croissant at Thorough bread & pastry-  2013 7x7 SF's Top 100 Eats

The almond croissants at Thorough Bread & Pastry are buttery and flaky.  Topped with slivers of almonds and an almond frosting, they are one of the bakery's signature pastries.  Its softer with a subtle taste of almond.  Tartine Bakery's almond croissants are still the winner in this category for me, but the no waiting for a still stellar croissant makes it a nice substitute.
