Day Moon — Restaurant in San Francisco

Updates: The chocolate chip cookies are actually so good that I have daydreamed about getting them again since I finished my first one. I like them so much I've been planning my week around getting back to Day Moon to get another. The baguette is really top notch. After getting it and devouring it for the second time, I've decided that we need to buy them two at a time in our family -- one for the drive/walk home, and one for later. Tried the cocoa carrot cake and it was very surprising and good.

Original review: Home-runs that I'll be daydreaming about for a while: Baguette: It was warm and delicious. We devoured the whole thing on our walk home. The crust had the perfect crisp/crunch and the inside was soft. I think it was whole wheat sourdough. Strawberry scone: It was a totally different texture than the scones I'm used to. Instead of being buttery, sweet, and kind of dry, it was gooey and delicious. I think they used fresh strawberries, which helped add moisture. The top was dusted with sugar, but the scone wasn't overly sweet. Great scone! Chocolate chip cookie: Incredible. Great texture and flavor. Not too sweet. No notes.

Also very delicious: the cheddar spring onion scone.

Things I tried but probably wouldn't order again: PB cookie: It was better than most. I think almost all PB cookies are too dry though, so I probably wouldn't get this again unless I was craving PB. Lemon bar: The flavor was a little bitter and not sweet...

Unpopular opinion…. But I didn’t love the baked goods. We got two scones, a coconut rhubarb cake, and a peanut butter cookie. The flavors were good, but the textures, not so much. Everything tasted like it had gluten free flour. I think the scones were cornmeal and the cake was some type of coconut flour? Not sure, but didn’t taste like wheat flour. Signs did not say gluten free so I was expecting a traditional wheat flour taste and texture.

However, everything did look beautiful and the shop itself is very...

Hip and popular small bakery and coffee built out of a remodeled house, adding to the Sunset’s wealth of good bakeries and patisseries. I showed up right at 9:10am, basically at opening, and there was already a small line. Within 5 minutes, the line grew quite a bit.

All of the hype is certainly deserved as Day Moon can bake both good bread and pastries. I had a Pear Hazelnut Cake and a plain Sesame Bun and would undoubtedly get both again, but I definitely want to try their full loaves of bread next...
