The new sought after bakehouse in the city known for their cruffins! You might ask what the heck is a cruffin? It's a hybrid of a croissant, a popular French pastry and a muffin. They only make 200 each day, so you need to be there early because they are usually sold out early in the day. If they do, don't worry, they also sell a lot of other delicious pastries!

If you like ramen, this is one you must try! Mensho Tokyo is one of Japan's most acclaimed ramen bars. They chose SF to be their first expansion outside of Japan. It just opened in February 2016. Lines have been crazy, so be prepared to be there early and wait in line but it's totally worth it!
