Common questions
What is the best cinnamon roll in San Francisco?+

Tartine Bakery in the Mission is SF's most famous, and while the line can be long, the cinnamon roll earns it, built on their landmark country bread dough with exceptional crust and crumb. For something more accessible without a wait, Jane the Bakery and Loquat are both excellent daily options.

What time does Tartine Bakery start selling pastries?+

Tartine opens at 8am Wednesday through Friday, and 9am on weekends. The cinnamon rolls and morning pastries go fast, so arrive within the first hour to get full selection. The afternoon bread bake (around 4–6pm) is a separate draw.

Are there gluten-free cinnamon rolls in San Francisco?+

Jane the Bakery and Hayes Valley Bakeworks both offer gluten-free options and are among the city's more accommodating spots. Mariposa Baking Co. is SF's dedicated gluten-free bakery, worth knowing about if that's a priority.
