San Francisco, FiDi. August 2025 Walk up to Paper Son Coffee in FiDi on the Wed/Thu/Fri and you will see a long queue to order and all the seating taken up by people having a drink and stuffing their faces with colorful pastries. Congratulations. You've just found Tano bakery. This is technically a pop up working out of the Paper Son Coffee space. Owner Isaac Taitano is there three days a week. The weekly menu, usually 10-12 items, is posted every week on their Instagram page but the actual daily menu may vary slightly. The pastries are plated and displayed on brown parchment paper. Expect things to fly out the door and sell out quickly. As a result, each customer can only order up to one each of five different pastries. The buzz starts with Isaac Taitano's Ube Filled Salt Bread. This is a black activated charcoal salted croissant filled with a purple ube choux. Yes, this is a Japanese Shio Pan, Korean Sogeum Ppang, Filipino Pan De Sal riff in a San Francisco familiar croissant shape. Try it. There are rotating cookies, scones, and another must try, whatever the daily cream puff is. You'll notice an emblem of a coconut palm on a shore with a sailboat on the water. This is the seal of Guam. Taitano is of Filipino Guamanian background. Tano is both part of his name, and the connection that CHamoru people have to their land and heritage. Paper Son Coffee + Tano. A great way to start an Aloha Friday. read more

Finally got to try their pastries at a Sunday pop-up. Really lucky that the line was not too long and they still had almost everything available 1.5 hours after the event started. It was my first time having salt bread and while it was very good and worth trying, I don't know if I prefer it over regular croissants. Overall everything was creative and well made, just a little pricey. Plain salt bread - it was buttery and crispy, like a crispy dinner roll Ube salt bread - prob our favorite, ube cream is not too sweet Garlic cream cheese salt bread - the cream cheese was really rich, I actually ate it alternating bites with the plain salt bread to balance it out Kabocha salted egg focaccia - the topping tasted like salted egg yolk chips with fried basil. I think it would be more appropriately named just "salted egg focaccia" since there wasn't a lot of kabocha Kimchi chorizo scone - also not sure if kimchi or chorizo is the right name. Had some gochugaru flavor and tiny bits of chorizo Sesame toffee cookie - solid cookie, not sure if it was only sesame on top or if there was other sesame flavor in it read more

The baked goods were yummy but would be better warmed. The salt breads were really buttery which can be a good thing but personally the bottoms being soaked is a little too much for me. The cookie and scallion/Chinese sausage scone were delicious but the butter mochi was lackluster as the mango flavor wasn't really pronounced. The coffee was good but nothing special. The storefront was small but clean and service was standard. read more

Line was super long but went by pretty quick. I'd say like 8 ppl out the door was a queue duration of 15-20 minutes. Salt bread was rich. One could probably make most people feel full. I didn't get to try the plain but the other flavors were delicious. Ube was definitely my favorite. Can't say it's like the salt bread I tried in Korea but definitely delicious in its own way! read more

Got an order in advance and it was definitely the move. I have heard many people spend up to 1.5 hrs waiting in line. We got to try the passion fruit mochi cookie, kinakao butter mochi, earl grey banana bread, and kimchi chorizo furikake scone. We got lucky because when we arrived to pickup, they allowed us to buy a pistachio salt bread. My partner and i agreed that the sweet pastries were better than the salty ones. Also without the pistachio pastry, the total was $34 which is honestly a great price compared to some of the other well known bakeries in the city. Our favorite was the earl grey banana bread and passion fruit mochi cookie. Overall i highly recommend and i definitely want to try their salt bread next! read more

I came here on a Saturday at 9am. They open at 10am and I was first in line. Even though the address is on 2nd st, the actual coffee shop they are using for their pop up is on the Folsom St side. By 9:30am there was only 12 people in line but it quickly got longer. By 10am the line stretched around the corner. They want to limit the amount of customers inside the shop so you wait in line till you are called in. They had 11 bakery items out. All beautifully displayed on parchment paper on the counter. On this day the only restriction they had was you can only buy 2 of each salt bread flavor. I got the following: Salted egg kabocha focaccia 4/5 - I liked that the focaccia was thick but soft and pillowy. The salted egg yolk flavor was mild. Ube salt bread 4/5 - Ube salt bread had a lot of cream which I love. It had a good amount of ube flavor. I liked taking off the bit of salt on top and sprinkle it onto each bite. Salt bread is not the same as senorita bread. This bread is on the tad denser side compared to ones I've had in Japan. Double baked pistachio salt bread 4/5 - The pistachio salt bread had a good amount of roasted pistachios on top to enhance the pistachio flavor. Again, bread a tad dense. I much prefer the light crispiness of croissants instead. Horchata sesame coconut cream puff 2/5 - I did not like this flavor. There was a good amount of filling but it was too cinnamon-y for my taste. The shell was delicate so this was one messy to eat as the cream was oozing all over. Sesame toffee chocolate cookie 4/5 - I enjoyed this one a lot. It was crispy, soft and chewy. Good flavor, not too sweet. Passion fruit mochi cookie 4/5 - Another great flavor. Mochi was soft, chewy and bouncy and the passion fruit was bright and tangy. read more

omg ube salt bread is actually SOSO GOODDD 10/10 my fav * jasmine lychee guava cream puff also good! very unique and i love jasmine so cream was yummy, but lychee was just like some jelly on top and a bit of lychee syrup? overall 8/10 * black sesame salt bread also yummyyyy but i like out of ordi sesame one better, it was more creamy than tano and i feel like tano one the salt bread wasn't as good compared to ube and ordi... 7.6/10 * mango sticky rice mochi cake was good! my mum added this to the order, good mochi cake texture and light mango flavor + sticky rice on top! 7/10 * red bean sticky toffee banana bread v moist! first bite me and my mum actually did not love... but after a few more bites it was pretty good we don't taste the red bean tho VERY YUMMY I WANT THAT UBE SALT BREAD AGAIN THE CRISPY BOTTOM WND CREAM SO SO GOOD would def come back!! (each person is only limited to one of each salt bread flavor tho ) was up early after getting back to sf, so got there at 8am, and was 5th? in line. waited till opening at 8:30 (bc friday) and got our salt breads/ orders by 9am! inside also very cute, part of paper son coffee. the seating areas and decor are very cute, and there's a bathroom there too! read more

The store was tucked next to a larger building. The interior was small and packed, but there were tables if you wanted to enjoy your meal inside. I ordered the Ube Cream Filled and Plain Salt Bread. The ube salt bread was so delicious. The cream was perfect and not too sweet. The bread paired perfectly with the cream. I loved it - Though it was a little expensive ($9). The plain bread was a little disappointing. The bottom of the bread was not crisp and it was not as soft as I would have imagined it to be. (I am comparing it a little bit to the salt bread I had in Korea though.) I would not get this again. All in all, I would totally get the ube bread again, but I am not sure I would wait in the medium length line (~15 minutes). read more

I came here around 740am on Thursday and there were a couple people in line already, but by the time it hit 7:55am the line got pretty long so definitely would recommend coming 745/750 for the optimal wait time. The original salt bread was okay... a bit bland. Definitely worth a try but I do prefer croissants. The ube salt bread was better but there was so much cream. I wasn't a fan of the earl grey banana bread but my friend really liked it. My favorite was the passion fruit mochi cookie - very unique and passion fruit flavor was good Overall, I'm not sure I would come back and wait in line for the salt bread, but I would be open to trying some of the other items like the cream puff or the savory option if someone else were already making a trip (FYI- they only allow one of each item per person up to 6(?) items.) read more

Would categorize this spot as try once and won't return again. The line is long mainly due to the slow service at the packing and check out station, there could be more urgency. Focaccia, as pictured, underbaked and didn't want to risk a mouthful of gummy texture dough so only half was edible. Dough may have been over fermented, had strong sour flavor. Ube salt bread, average milk break with saltiness and Ube cream in the center. The Ube cream left an artificial and greasy (waxy coating mouth feel) after taste, could be from low quality fat and use of shortening/heavy seed oils. Def had higher expectations for avg $9 a piece, compared to longer standing better bakeries in SF like Arsicault at avg $5/pastry. If compared to South Korea salt breads, Tano is far from meeting the marks. read more

This bakery has been high on my list in SF to try. I stopped by around 8:10 on a Friday and waited about 45 minutes for my pastries. The line actually moves pretty fast and even faster if you're just grabbing drinks from Paper Son Coffee, since you can order ahead using their QR code. I tried the mango sticky rice butter mochi, the black sesame salt bread, and the ube salt bread. The black sesame salt bread was a bit underwhelming since it lacked the crispy bottom and saltiness. Instead, it felt more like a soft dinner roll with black sesame cream. Surprisingly, the ube salt roll had the essence of a salt bread including the salt flakes, buttery taste and crispy bottom. The mango sticky rice butter mochi didn't have a strong mango flavor. It's topped with a layer of sticky rice and coconut, which made it feel a bit heavier. The shop itself is small with limited seating, but the staff are friendly! read more

My father lined up around 9:30 Am on a Wednesday and was able to get us pastries a little less than an hour. Shoutout to the gentleman in front of him in line who saw him eyeing the ube salt bread (which my father knew was the only thing I truly wanted from here) and told him he could order the last one. Ube salt bread (4.8/5)- the ube filling was light and airy and was delectable! The ube just oozed out of the salt bread and I love the bread to cream ratio. Passionfruit mochi (1/5)- unfortunately this was way too sweet for my palate. If you liked really sweet stuff pastries, then you may like this. S'mores chocolate chip cookie (3/5)- cookie was pretty average and did not really stand out for me. Would probably only come back for the ube salt bread again. read more

Yummy salt bread with fun fillings! My all time favorite was definitely the ube one - the ube flavor was so good and it had a perfect level of sweetness to it. My second favorite was the guava, which also had a nice flavor and sweetness. The other flavors were also good, but I'd recommend skipping the original since you might as well indulge in the flavored ones! Portion of each one was generous as well read more

Tano - Salt bread - Bakeries Near Me - San Francisco, California

Finally had a chance to checkout Tano on a Thursday morning - we arrived about 5 minutes before opening and were 8th in line, and got our pastries and coffee about 10 minutes after they opened. Tano is located inside Paper Son Coffee (which has excellent drinks). We were lucky to grab a table by the window since we arrived early, and it was a nice bright spot to enjoy our coffee and pastries while people watching. I was too tempted by the menu and got almost everything. The salt bread was a great texture, but nothing outstanding - the ube salt bread on the other hand was perfectly not too sweet and filled with a nice fluffy ube cream. The lime scone and black sesame cookie were surprisingly on the savory side, which was unexpected. My favorites had to be the passion fruit mochi cookie which had a wonderful mochi center and perfect balance of tartness from the passionfruit and the foccacia which was so bubbly and crusty - the salted egg yolk was a fun and unique touch. Overall, Tano has some great creative pastries, I'd say if you happen to have a chance to swing by right around opening time to snag some it's definitely worth a visit! read more

I was influenced from social media! But also, without social media I would not find a lot of the gems in San Francisco. Tano's owner comes from a Guamanian background (you can find the Guam seal on the counter!), blending Asian flavors into delicate pastries. I'm super happy to see Asian flavors being represented so well in pastries. We ordered and shared the ube salt bread, sesame toffee cookie, salt bread, earl grey banana bread, and the honeycomb creampuff. NOTE: Limit of 5 pastries per person! My fav to least fav: honey comb creampuff (so deliciously soft and not too sweet, a classic Asian flavor profile), ube salt bread, sesame toffee cookie, salt bread, then the earl grey banana bread. The earl grey banana bread was too dry for me, and the salt bread wasn't anything amazing. It tasted like a regular pandesal to me. Everything else was so good! Minus points for organization. Tano is located inside Paper Son Coffee on Folsom St and has a separate line from the coffee line. When I went, lots of people were confused by this. If you want to order pastries, you have to hop out of the coffee line then hop back in the coffee line. Hours are Wed & Thurs 8AM-2:30/sold out, Friday 830AM-230/sold out. If you are in the area and have time to wait in line and check out this small bakery, I would recommend! read more

My husband kept talking about this Tano popup and he's not a huge sweets person so I knew he must really want to try it! We drove up and saw a long line but decided to give it a shot. It wasn't too terrible of a wait, I think we waited a total of 15 minutes, but feels longer with kids. Most things were sold out when we got up there at 9:40, so I would say your best shot is to just come when they begin selling! It's located inside of Paper Son so you can get your coffee fix too. They do limit you to one of each item so that makes it last a bit longer. We were so sad when the person in front of us got the last banana bread! But luckily we got both of the salt breads (ube filled was definitely the winner) as well as a kinako honeycomb cream puff that was not on the regular menu! I loved the ube salt bread but that cream puff was amazing. Both of them were filled to the brim, no shortage of cream in any bite whatsoever! read more

best: ube filled salt bread -- ok: earl gray banana bread guava filled salt bread The ube bread was fire and had so much filling, I wish there was more breading The guava salt bread was not to my taste The earl gray banana bread was simple and a nice treat but didn't wow me. Vibe: Super busy and a small hub to sit and chat. Locations in a quiet area and the shop is homey. read more

Since our trip to Seoul SK we have been searching all over the bay for salt bread. When we found Tano, we had to go. Thanks to the Yelpers for providing important details like "only 5 pastries and no repeats" and open Wednesday to Friday from 8AM/8:30AM to sold out. So the two of us hopped on Bart on Friday morning to arrive by 8:15 AM to stand in line. (There were 10+ people already in line) After 30 minutes, It was our turn. Box 1: salt bread, ube salt bread, kimchi chorizo furikake scone, salted egg kabocha sourdough foccacia, earl grey banana bread. Box 2: salt bread, ube salt bread, horchata cream puff, sesame toffee cookie The 5 stars is for the salt bread and Ube salt bread. They were huge, light and buttery... very close to the OG in South Korea . The focaccia was fluffy and flavorful and the scone was surprisingly balanced of all the different flavors. The cookie tasted like a sesame rice ball "jeen doy". The banana bread and cream puff are a pass. I wish we could have gotten a box full of salt bread. Not sure if we would go back on a regular basis; but if you are in the area at the right time, it is worth the wait and price. read more

Took advantage of the late opening time on New Years, but there was still already a decent line 30 minutes before opening. Line does move fairly fast with helpful staff and nice packaging of pastries. Really enjoyed the salt bread flavors, especially the guava and ube. Nice and crispy even after multiple hours. Would probably skip the green grape tart next time. read more

Waited 20 minutes on a Friday, line wasn't that bad. I had some high expectations but was kind of disappointed with how dry the bread was. I thought it was because it wasn't heated and I didn't get the middle but even when I did it still was kind of dry. I've had other saltbread which had a crispier bottom and was soft still. Besides the plain salt bread, ube saltbread was decent, sweet & salty. Salted egg focaccia was flavorful and soft. I enjoyed the cream puff as well. Ambiance in the cafe was cute but not ideal for staying there to do work as there are so many people in line. Besides the taste, the pastries were very pretty. Service was also nice and helpful. Rating solely based on taste! read more

We went on a Friday at 8:48 AM so about fifteen minutes after the cafe opened! There was a line of about 20-25 people ahead of us and we were able to order about 30 min after! The limit is one pastry of each kind but only 5 pastries! We chose the choux, the kimchi scone, the earl grey banana bread, the salted egg focaccia which was my fav and the viral UBE salt bread (which was a little creamy for me but the flavor was very good) Overall I think it's a really nice addition to the neighborhood and wish they were open more days of the week! We love going to Paper son for coffee on a normal day too! read more

This was my first time trying pastries from Tano! Their opening hours are quite limited (not open weekends) so expect longer lines during weekday mornings before their opening time at 8 am. I waited about 25 minutes total on a Thursday morning and the line had already gone out the door at around 7:55 am. Note that like most other bakeries, they will close for the day before their official closing time once pastries run out. I ordered these before work and didn't try any of them until around 7 pm, but even then all their pastries are still good and only require a quick reheating in the toaster oven which is a testament to their quality. Ube salt bread: This has a decadently sweet ube filling inside that can be a very messy to eat, so I would make sure to have extra napkins handy. There is a very slight flavor of corn in the ube filling which was interesting but still goes well with the salt bread. This is one of their bestsellers so I would recommend trying this if it's your first time here. Earl grey banana bread: I didn't heat this one up, but even after several hours at room temperature the crust was still intact. The earl grey flavor isn't overly strong, so would recommend it for those who might not typically like earl grey flavored items. Kimchi furikake scone: This was a bit dry, but still very flavorful. It would pair well with actual kimchi and some bbq meat. Passionfruit mochi cookie: The mochi texture on this was smooth and soft even though I left it in the box for several hours. While the mochi itself is not passionfruit-flavored, there is a passionfruit jam underneath the mochi center. read more

Got one of each pastry that day, everything was very tasty! My favorite were the salt breads, limited 1 per flavor per person. The sweet cream and the buttery crispiness pairs very well together, I can't choose a favorite one. Makes the original seem bland. Pastries were decent, my favorite was the passion fruit cookie. The store is pretty small with paper son coffee. Tried the 2 seasonal drinks, was interesting. Would definitely come back for the salt breads. They have it down and line moves quickly. I arrived 5 minutes before opening and there were about 10-15 people ahead of me. Parking is a bit tough but we found street parking and wasn't too pricy for SF standards. They have public paid parking nearby but was closed today unless you had SpotHero. Met a lot of dog owners grabbing coffee, especially the cute pair of Pomeranians! Worth waking up early in the morning for! read more

It was my first time trying salt bread and Tano's salt breads did not disappoint! I tried the original, ube, garlic cream cheese, and their cookie collab salt breads. My favorites were the original and ube salt bread. The original was buttery and had a nice crispy bottom. I loved the color of the ube salt bread, and the ube filling was really good! I'd definitely recommend trying Tano's pastries! read more

Tried several items at a pop-up and was great. Line took awhile still but worth it. I tried the salt bread, garlic salt bread, kimchi scone, and sesame cookie. Loved the salt bread. Great flavors and soft and pillowy. I was quite full when I arrived at the pop up so tried most items the next day. The scone had good flavor, felt a little dry but could've been bc I didn't have it fresh when I bought it. The cookie was good, unique flavors, and good size. I'd definitely go back for the salt bread and to try some more items. read more

I just don't understand some bakeries nowadays. If a place can't meet the demand of the customers, how is that ok? I got here at 9am on a weekday. They're only open for limited hours from Wed through Fri. I was in line for a good 45 mins or so anticipating being able to try their salt bread. First of all, they limit what you can get. Even with the limitations, they ran out of salt bread. Doesn't make any sense. Honestly, it's frustrating and instead of the feeling of wanting to come back which they might be going for, I'm good. Don't care to try it anymore. read more

My friend and I came to the Tano x Kimi Matcha pop up on Sunday. We came around 9:30am and waited until 10:45am. We got the Garlic Salt Bread and Matcha Salt Bread. The Garlic one was yummy and good balance between salt and garlic! I enjoyed how they had a slab of butter garlic in the middle and garlic cream inside. For the matcha one, I didn't enjoy this one as much because I got more salty bits which I get since it's still salt bread but didn't hit for me! read more

A friend of mine posted a photo of this bakery and mentioned that the line might be long so I figured I'd try going early. No joke: I showed up on June 19th at 7:55 AM thinking I'd beat the crowd, but the line was already wrapped around the corner. I ended up waiting over 50 minutes. The bakery is located inside a small coffee shop with a few open seats and a bar table by the window. I stayed in line since I was already there and then walk to work after. When I finally reached the door, I saw a sign that was posted by the door stating it was a 5-pastry limit per person, which was a bit of a letdown since I had hoped to grab extras for my staff. I left with 4 items, and honestly, they were just okay: Salt bread: A bit bland and could definitely be flakier. Ube bread: Had more flavor but also needed more flakiness. Passion fruit cookie: Not bad--on the sweeter side. Yuzu cream puff: Probably our least favorite. Something about it just tasted off. Overall, I don't think I'd come back and line up again. I only did it this time because my sister really wanted to try it. read more

Tano lives up to the hype and worth the extra effort & cost. There's a 5 per person limit on baked goods. The salted breads are a must (the original and ube) as they're both extraordinary! Cream puff tasted as expected. Salted egg focaccia ($11) was the special when I went, it was great but expensive for the small piece. Toffee cookie was also good. The oat latte from paper son was forgettable. I will skip drinks next time. Tip: MUST come at least 15 minutes prior to opening. read more

Got here on Juneteenth (Thursday but a federal holiday) ~30 min after they opened. The line was out the door and curved down the block slightly, and I waited about 50 minutes to get to the front of the line. Unfortunately I wouldn't recommend getting there after they open because they were running out of a lot of items. After 30 minutes of waiting, I could see people still leaving with the ube salt bread, but it was gone by the time I got to the front. What was more painful is the person 1-2 people in front of me got the last OG salt bread. By the time I was at the front, they didn't even have five distinct items available (they have a 5 item limit, at most 1 per item). So I got one of everything, which included the last miso mushroom scone (literally off the display paper) and the 3rd to last coconut makrut scone. Surprisingly they had quite a few sesame toffee cookies left (maybe ~20 left?) and a handful of the earl grey roasted banana bread. Saw some reviews saying the earl grey was dry, but the one I got was pretty moist! Definitely can taste the earl grey, but it's not overwhelming. read more

Live close to their pop up at paper son coffee but never had the time to wait in the long morning lines, so was lucky to see they had a pop up on a Saturday. We got there later to find surprisingly almost no line, so ordered the following: - milk bread (3.5/5): not as pillowy as they claim, quite dense actually. Maybe these were sitting out a while, taste was light and quite simple - ube milk bread (4.5/5): outstanding, not too sweet with the ube filling inside. Similarly to regular milk bread, I'm sure fresh would have been softer - coconut makrut scone (3/5): dense and chalky - everything miso scone (3/5): overwhelming everything seasoning, ok scone We missed some other pastries but will be back to get more ube milk breads! read more

This is a bakery pop-up selling Asian-inspired baked goods inside the SOMA Paper Son Coffee location. They are open on Wednesdays and Thursdays at 8:00am as well as on Fridays at 8:30am. Despite having 2:30pm listed as the closing time, they often sell out shortly after opening. ***Visit #1*** I came by on a Friday morning around 10:00am in April. There was a very short line, but the only thing left was the Coconut Makrut Lime Scone ($4.50). +Topped liberally with shredded coconut +Permeated with makrut lime zest: Very refreshing +Crunchy on the outside -Very dry on the inside: I'm glad I ordered a coffee with this b/c it definitely needed a drink to go with it. *I saw the same scone when I stopped by in May and the price increased by $1.00, making it $5.50. ***Visit #2*** I came by on a Friday morning in May. I stood in line at 8:20am (10 minutes before opening) and received my baked goods at 9:10am. Unlike last time, they had limits of 5 pastries/person and 1 pastry of each kind. My order: Black Sesame Toffee Chocolate Cookie ($6.75): +I prefer cookies that are crispy on the outside and soft on the inside, and this was perfect texturally. +Normally when something has chocolate or toffee, it tends to be super sweet, but this leaned on the savory side of the sweet & salty scale. +Tons of sesame flavor throughout, with the sesame toffee bits, sesame paste and black & white sesame seeds. +Large and perfect for sharing *I was debating between this and the Earl Grey Roasted Banana Bread, and the cashier said she liked this one more. After tasting it, now I know why it's a staff favorite. Everything Miso Mushroom Scone ($5.50): +Topped liberally with black & white sesame seeds +Crunchy on the outside -Salty -I didn't see or taste any mushrooms. Adding some diced mushrooms inside the scone would amp up the mushroom flavor. Honeycomb Kinako Cream Puff ($7.00): +Honeycomb candy was crunchy and melted in my mouth. +Kinako diplomat cream was nutty and not too sweet. -Shell could be crispier: It was soft and fell apart. Salt Bread ($7.00): +Crispy on the bottom and pillowy on the inside. -IMO not worth it for the price. There's bread that tastes just as good (if not better) for the same price (or less). Ube Salt Bread ($9.00): +Crispy on the bottom and pillowy on the inside +Generously filled w/ube diplomat cream, a mix of pastry cream + unsweetened whipped cream. -Not much ube flavor in the bread or diplomat cream *If you want to try the salt bread, get this over the OG one. Side notes: 1.) Indoor bar and table as well as outdoor table seating: Keep in mind that seating is limited and you may need to take your pastries to go. 2.) Restrooms available for customers Verdict: Our favorites were the Black Sesame Toffee Chocolate Cookie and the Ube Salt Bread. After considering the flavor, price, and wait (almost an hour!), I don't think I'd come back unless an out-of-town visitor really wanted to. read more

Ordered ahead of time for a special weekend pickup! Finally got to try this place because their regular opening time is just too hard to get it. They definitely should do more of the regular pick ups. They are very strict about their pickup time. I chose 2pm pickup and while I was 20 minutes early, they asked me to come back. However, they were lenient in changing my original pick up time from 12 to 2pm. I order the original salt bread (4/5), garlic salt bread (5/5), and the kombucha focaccia bread (3/5). The last one wasn't really my preference but I really like the garlic salt bread and would get it again! read more

Paper Son coffee is near my office and a go to coffee spot for me, so when I saw they started serving new pastries (salt bread!!), I knew I had to check it out. As of right now, they are only providing pastries Wed-Fri. I showed up right around opening time before work (8 ish) with my husband and we shared a salt bread, everything miso scone, calamansi meringue cream puff, and a sesame toffee cookie. Everything was super unique and the flavors were spot on! The cookie was the perfect texture (reaaally chewy), the calamansi cream in the cream puff was bright and smooth and delicious, and the everything miso scone was a really interesting mix of savory sweet. I think the star of the show was the salt bread, which came out buttery soft and warm. My friend from work has tried the salt bread before in the afternoon and said it was cold, so I definitely recommend either getting it fresh in the morning or heating it up yourself later. I'm already planning on coming back later this week to try the ube salt bread and some of the other pastries! read more

My girlfriend and I arrived a little before 8am on a Friday (they open at 8:30) and the line was already 20+ people deep. Closer to opening a worker comes out and hands out colored tickets for salt bread so you'll know if they run out or not by the time you're in line. Once they opened the line moved fairly quickly. Inside there are only three small tables to sit and maybe three two-top tables outside. They limit 5 items per person and the day we went they had a total of 7 different items. I was able to get a salt bread, ube cream salt bread, matcha strawberry cream puff, earl grey banana bread, and an everything bagel miso scone. The salt breads were definitely the star of the show, crunchy on the outside and pillowy soft on the inside. The miso scone was a tad too salty for me and the earl grey banana bread kind of tasted like soap. I also ordered a guava cloud sparkling espresso tonic that was just heavenly. Parking can be rough but if you come early some of the side streets have 1hr free parking. read more

Tano happened to have a popup on Sunday, so I was finally able to check them out. After multiple trips to Korea, I always dream of salt bread. After reviewing what others have written, I wasn't sure if I could just get 2 original salt breads, but they allowed it! I also grabbed a sesame cookie too. Although I couldn't eat them immediately, the salt bread was still quite nice the next day (just warm it up for 10 seconds). The cookie was huge, easily shareable with others. read more

Tano - 2 salt bread and one sesame toffee choco-chip cookie - Bakeries Near Me - San Francisco, California

- Salted Egg Yolk Focaccia: hands down my favorite focaccia in the city - fluffy, umami packed (Frankly love anything salted egg yolk) - Saltbread: They've quickly made a name for this and it certainly doesn't disappoint. The exterior is crispy, while the inside is soft and buttery. Note: they've been selling out fast lately, so if you want to get saltbread you have to go before opening - Cream Puff: my second favorite item behind the focaccia. I love how they rotate the flavors weekly, makes for a pleasant surprise each week. Isaac, the owner and head baker, used to work at Jina Bakes, so it comes as no surprise that these cream puffs do not miss. - Black Sesame Chocolate Chip Cookie: underrated item on the menu - love the balance of chocolate and black sesame, all within a massive chewy cookie - Coconut Makrut Scone: Fragrant, tender scone - haven't found another like this in the city Although Tano recently opened, they've quickly become one of my favorite bakeries in the city. I love how creative their flavors are from the weekly seasonal cream puff (think calamansi) to their salted egg yolk focaccia. Isaac, the owner and head baker, has had a diverse culinary background having worked in Malaysian, Indonesian, French Korean, and Japanese kitchens/bakeries. This diverse background shines through his pastries, which often highlight the flavors he loves. Recently, they've been selling out very fast! You need to arrive around or before opening to secure pastries, but it's definitely worth the visit and revisit! Can't wait to drop by read more
