Boudin Bakery & Cafe

Service is always nice even when they have a full house. This place has a good atmosphere. Food is similar to a cafe in Indianapolis I loved.

Great place to stop by when visiting SF. the soups are delicious but come on! It’s barely a cup of soup. Once you dig in you realize there is almost no soup

This famous bakery and café in the heart of San Francisco at Fisherman’s Wharf is always busy. Clam chowder in sourdough bread is a-must when visiting the Bay Area. People in long queue waiting patiently to get delicious clam chowder, sandwiches and soups. Always worth the long waiting though always crowded with lots of tourists. They also sell other stuffs. The shop has unique items for household and souvenirs you can get but quite pricey. They have take-out counter for freshly baked breads available daily. Hard to get a table though, especially during peak month season. During summer they have seats outside but always crowded. You got to have patience coming here staying in long queue to get something delicious, always worth it!

We visited both bakery cafes on Pier 39 and the one on Jefferson Street. The latter one is the nicer one with the bistro upstairs and museum. The museum is very nice and definitely worth a visit. As far as the food is concerned: Loved the bread and chowder in a bowl. Btw, food is pretty much the same in both places

I am not a big fan of sourdough bread but I think that clam chowder served on a sourdough bowl is a good combination. Try to scrape the fluffy part of sourdough bowl and mix it with clam soup. Another suggestion is that you may have a beverage and bakery there. People are also interested in it but I still don’t know why.
