Mission, San Francisco · shop
Fifty-four years in the Mission and still doing it the old way. Grab a plastic tray, pick your pan dulce from the case, pay cash, and go. Bolillos hold at thirty cents, the conchas have that layered interior with a properly caramelized crust, and the bigote de piña pulls regulars from across the Bay. Opens at 4:30 AM with no website and no social media. On brand for the oldest panadería still standing.
