Few are the establishments you can go to and actually be in wonder the entire time, this place was one of those for me. From the line outside, the lack of a name on the building or door, the community tables, or the crowds of people waiting in pent up excitement - there was nothing that could keep from the beauty of the dessert case at Tartine.
This place as been covered on the Food Network, Cooking Channel and others, and I didn't even know that till after I'd been there (though it does explain the crowd). The pastry case is chalk full of eats like coconut cake, eclairs made with Valrhona chocolate, brioche bread pudding (made seasonally), morning buns (that morning covered with orange sugar), and croque madame in four varieties!

The very Double Pain Au Chocolate featured above, and I didn't even know about the feature till I got home, the only reason I was inspired was it was the last one at 9:00 AM and so it had to be good - and it was...exceptional. Soft, flaky, buttery, and full of dark beautiful chocolate.
Exceptional, from the latte's to the bread pudding (so moist)
— this is a new MUST - VISIT on my list from now on!
