San Francisco morning bun · San Francisco

San Francisco's signature pastry: a croissant dough rolled in cinnamon-sugar with orange zest, twisted in a muffin tin, dusted with more sugar after baking. Crisp shattered exterior, custard-soft buttery interior.

The morning bun is a San Francisco pastry tradition that grew out of the city's croissant scene in the 1980s. Tartine Bakery in the Mission popularised the modern Bay Area morning bun under Elisabeth Prueitt and Chad Robertson in the early 2000s, with B. Patisserie in Pacific Heights and Arsicault Bakery in the Richmond now serving the city's most-cited versions. The morning bun is uniquely San Franciscan: it does not exist with the same definition outside the Bay Area.
