📍@thoroughbreadandpastry in the heart of the Castro district may be underrated compared to more famous San Francisco bakeries, but it’s an iconic hidden gem beloved by locals and those that are in the know 😉 

🇫🇷 Founded by French native Michel Suas, who has a rich baking pedigree including a stint as head pastry chef at a Michelin-starred restaurant in France, the bakery aims to bring authentic French-style pastries to the Bay Area

🥖 Michel also established the San Francisco Baking Institute in 1996, which has become a leader in artisan bread and pastry education

🥐 Known for its legendary flaky croissants and creative seasonal tarts, everything at Thorough Bread & Pastry is made from scratch daily using high-quality, local ingredients

☕️ This cozy spot offers a welcoming atmosphere perfect for enjoying a pastry and coffee, as well as a vibrant community space also hosting fun movie nights, making it a must-visit for pastry lovers seeking exceptional quality without the crowds— and the gem of a patio in the back is a plus! 

👀 in honor of Halloween, peep the skeleton made of bread at the end! Hanging in their front window
