đ„ Home to San Franciscoâs Best Croissant! đ
In 2023, Juniperâthe visionary behind Saint Frank Coffeeâopened this charming bakery, and it didnât take long to make waves. On May 19 this year, Juniper swept the "San Francisco's Best Croissant" competition, and since then, this Polk Street cafĂ© has been the talk of the town! Lines form daily, often selling out well before the 3 PM closing time. đđ¶âïž While originally famous for their cream puffs, itâs the croissants that are now stealing the showâespecially one standout filled with pineapple jam and coconut milk, crafted by Amy Chen, a graduate of the San Francisco Baking School. Each croissant boasts a crisp, flaky exterior with a tender, airy interior. But thereâs more to love here: Classic viennoiserie like buttery brioche Bold flavors like the Black Sesame Amann Freshly baked whole-wheat bread served with avocado and lemon oil đ„ Cinnamon rolls wrapped with fragrant orange peel đ â The drink menu is just as thoughtful, featuring: House-roasted coffee beans Vibrant matcha lattes đ The cafĂ© is named after the followers of St. Francis of Assisi, known for their generosity and hospitalityâand that spirit is alive and well here. The customer service shines, surpassing even popular spots like Nico or Craftsman & Wolves. And for those with dietary preferences, the gluten-free PB&J Blondie is a must-tryâalmost as delightful as their iconic butter rolls, with a delicate crumb that cracks beautifully before melting in your mouth. #JuniperBakery #BestCroissantSF #AmyChen #ArtisanPastry #SanFranciscoBakeries #GlutenFreeGoodness #FoodAward
