Golden Gate Bakery in San Francisco: photos, reviews

About

Golden Gate Bakery in San Francisco is a delightful spot that has earned a loyal following with its highly recommended egg custard tarts. With a thin, crispy crust and a creamy, moist custard filling infused with just the right touch of shredded coconut, these treats are well worth the price and inevitable wait. This cash-only bakery operates on its own schedule, usually opening around 11 am and closing when the tarts sell out, at $3.75 each or $45 for a dozen. Although seating isn't available, the nearby outdoor areas and great location make it easy to enjoy your treats on the go. Pair your tart with selections from a diverse menu featuring savory options like meat sandwiches and pasta or grab a refreshing lemonade or coffee. Friendly staff and convenient parking options enhance the experience at this reasonably priced culinary gem. Whether you're planning a casual lunch or an informal wedding treat, Golden Gate Bakery's offerings cater to all, making it a must-visit for locals and tourists alike.
