Sandbox Bakery, San Francisco
My friend Sumi and I went to
Sandbox Bakery in the Bernal Heights area of San Francisco. The owner, Mutsumi Takehara was trained at La Farine and Chez Panisse...with time at Rubicon and Slanted Door. With that past, I knew it would be delicious.
The bakery has a lovely display of yummy pastries. They sell single drip coffee as well as some savory foods too. See the
full menu here (prices I quote are from a January 2013 look at the
website menu).
Ginger scone. If there is a ginger scone in the bakery, it is going into my bag. I love ginger scones. This one was very light and tasty. I would definitely buy it again. $2.00
Top: Melon pan. This is a very light, sugar topped brioche. I could probably eat a dozen of these...but they are brioche so that probably isn't the best idea :) $2.25
Bottom: Curry pan. Oh, this is yummmmmy. You can find a curry pan at many Japanese bakeries and it is an easy way to get a bite to eat. $3.00 (online menu, but from the photo I took, it looks like it is more than $3.00 now - anyway, worth it)
This is the Negi-Miso Kashi Pan. It is challah bread with miso paste and green onions inside! Challah and Japanesey flavors? Lovely, and my favorite item from our little visit. $2.25
If you are in the Bernal Heights area of San Francisco, be sure to try out Sandbox Bakery!

Yum! I live in San Francisco and still love learning about new places to try -- adding this to my list. :)
I've been there a couple times! It's a little gem in an up-and-coming neighborhood.
Thanks for the tip. My wife and I want to go up to San Francisco to eat at chris Cosentino's restaurant, stopping at Sandbox would be a great way to start the day.
Is that piroshki I spy in the bottom right corner of that 2nd picture?
so cool that this bakery has asian, polish, french, and english pastries!
