San Francisco: Neighbor Bakehouse
On my way to Aina, I passed an impressive-looking line. I couldn't tell what all the people were waiting for, so after I met up with my sister, we pulled up Google Maps and used our detective skills to figure it out.
Turns out the line was for Neighbor Bakehouse:
Curious, we got in line ourselves even though we'd just finished a full brunch at Aina.
The interior was essentially the kitchen with a counter:
When it was our turn to order, we asked the staff person whether he would recommend the ham and cheese morning bun or the chorizo potato turnover. Without any hesitation, he made a face and told us he didn't like the turnover, so the morning bun for sure.
Alright then. Morning bun ($4.50) it was:
There was no point in asking about the ginger pull-apart ($3.85) because we were certain we wanted it:
Buttery and flaky deliciousness. Both of them. The candied ginger bits in the pull-apart were especially delightful.
It was obvious that Neighbor Bakehouse is a popular neighborhood joint. As we sat at the picnic tables outside, we watched people continue to get in line. People came with their friends, their significant others, their kids, and even their pets.
I get it, I really do. The atmosphere is relaxed and friendly and the baked goods are scrumptious. But dude. It ain't exactly cheap. Definitely not a place I can afford to be a regular at. Not on my salary at least.
Nonprofit life, yo.
