Tartine Manufactory in San Francisco opened 9 years ago in 2016, a natural outgrowth of the ridiculously popular Tartine Bakery, where lines regularly extend down the block. For anyone too impatient to wait until they get home (or back to a hotel room) to sample their Tartine goodies, Tartine Manufactory is an excellent bet–if you remember to reserve it in advance, particularly for weekend brunch.
.
Tartine Manufactory Location and Hours
Tartine Manufactory is located at 595 Alabama Street in the Mission, about a 15 minute walk east from the original Tartine Bakery at 18th and Guerrero. With such amazing pastries courtesy of Tartine founder Elizabeth Prueitt, breakfast and brunch is a natural time to visit Tartine. Breakfast and lunch items, including breakfast sandwiches, omelet, french toast, yogurt, and tartines (sandwiches) are served 8am-4pm daily (no reservations taken), while dinner is served Wednesday-Sunday 5:30-9pm, for which reservations are taken.

Tartine Manufactory Brunch Menu and Food
Here's the current breakfast and lunch menu as of our April 2026 visit.
.
First to come out were the pastries, since they were already prepared. A morning bun is a must: we've tried others, but we still think Tartine makes the best morning buns we've ever tasted, thanks to the orange zest:
.
We also had an almond croissant, which was very good, and one of the better ones in San Francisco, but the exterior was not quite as crunchy as I like.
.
Our savory items came out next: my husband and I both ordered the breakfast sandwich (he added bacon to his) and these are more filling than you'd think given the size. The potato bun is fluffy, there's a generous portion of egg, some sharp cheddar, and plenty of arugula, which provides a welcome fresh contrast to the richness of the egg and cheese. I will say that I think this could be elevated if fresh herbs were part of the egg, similar to the herbed eggs in the Grovbirkes sandwich at Kantine.
.
Our teen got a new item, a Soft Scramble Tartine, which in addition to the scrambled eggs featured white cheddar cheese, smoked trout roe, horseradish, and labneh (somewhat similar to Greek yogurt) on toasted country bread. It was nicely garnished with fresh chives. He demolished it in about two minutes, so it was apparently fantastic.
.
We finished off by sharing Yogurt and Housemade Granola. Tartine's yogurt is wonderfully creamy (presumably full fat), and this time it was with strawberry preserves. The granola comes in large chunks, which you can either break apart and crumble into the yogurt or munch on alongside, like a cookie.

My omelet was tasty and accompanied by a fresh salad and toast, but too small given the $16.95 price; I'd have expected it to be 50% larger or so.
.
As on prior visits, we also ordered yogurt with fruit preserves (blueberry) and housemade granola, which comes in block form that you can crunch on or crumble over the yogurt.
.
The bread pudding was good, this time served with pineapple and coconut, but I've preferred other fruit varieties in the past, such as with peaches or berries.
.
From past visits, we've really enjoyed morning buns and other pastries. While it's hard to pick favorites when it comes to Tartine's pastries, we highly, highly recommend the morning buns. Not only are they just the right balance between crispy and gooey, the orange zest provides just the right counterpoint to the sweetness. They're rich, however, so since we were sampling other things, we split one among the three of us, saving the other one to take away.
.
Next to arrive was my husband's Breakfast Sandwich, to which we added avocado and bacon. I tried a bite, a welcome bit of savory in all the sweetness. It was delicious, although I will say the bacon could have been crispier and the sandwich seemed a bit pricey for what it was.
.
I thought the kitchen might have forgotten the yogurt, but it did come out at last, and was well worth waiting for. I can't remember when I've had yogurt this good, and it was nicely complemented by the homemade granola (which came in large hunks, artistic for the photo, but best crumbled by hand over the yogurt) and perfectly ripe strawberries, as well as honey
.
The Verdict
Breakfast or brunch at Tartine will likely seem pricey if you're not used to San Francisco restaurant pricing, but it's high quality. We especially recommend the morning buns, breakfast sandwich, tartines and bread in general, and the yogurt. The bread pudding has gotten a bit too cloyingly sweet for our taste.
