Food- lunch spot in SF -Boudin Bakery-favorite🥖

My son and I’s favorite lunch spot in Fisherman’s Wharf is Boudin Bakery. We like sitting outside, right now in the winter there is a big covered tent. The covered outside area is also dog friendly and child friendly! As we sit outside, we can see the view of the San Francisco Bay and see the seagulls flying overhead. We hear the live music not far away. We enjoy a glass bottle of Pellegrino, and two soups in sourdough bread bowls, one clam chowder and the other tomato basil. It is almost impossible not to feel content in such a bungalowicious environment! Plus, sometimes we take home sourdough for later! My son’s friends like the shaped sourdough bread in shapes such as teddy bears, dinosaurs, etc. Visit www.boudinbakery.com Call 800.992.1849

Archaeologist and medieval historian Alexander Langlands reaches as far back as the Neolithic period to recover our lost sense of craeft, combining deep history with detailed scientific analyses and his own experiences making traditional crafts.
