Arsicault Bakery

Named America's best bakery by Bon Appétit — and the croissants are worth the hype. Flaky, buttery, perfect. Also has ham-and-cheese croissants, almond croissants, and morning buns. Tiny shop so expect a line on weekends, but it moves fast. Grab pastries and walk to the Presidio or sit in the little parklet outside. The kind of simple, perfect food experience kids remember.
