Going upstairs was totally worth it! A lady that was eating downstairs told me they had to wait in line forever, and she recommended we go upstairs to eat. That was a great decision! We had amazing food, got away from the chaos, and had Oyster shooters while looking out the large windows towards the street and red and white fleet! We ate here while waiting for our cruise. Great food, atmosphere, and restaurant all around. Loved it!

Their soup bowls are not just hype; the sourdough bread bowl soup was simply fantastic. My family and I enjoyed the freshly made bread bowl, which had a nice, fluffy top and a crusty, crunchy outside. The clam, tomato, and crab soup had a delightful flavor combination that made perfect sense. However, I do wish they had more vegetarian options beyond just tomato-based soups; adding a mushroom option would be a great idea. The line was quite long, especially on the weekend, but we received our food fairly quickly. The place was buzzing with people, and despite that, I will definitely come back here on my next trip to SFO.

There is a quick bite, lower level area with food that is quick. That food was ok. There’s an upper area, sit down portion. The food was excellent up here. My kid had cheese pizza, my wife sausage, and I had crab cake sandwich. The pizzas were amazing. The dough was excellent, the sauce was great. My Crab cake sandwich was also very tasty and good.

Food was good, but watching the bakery in operation was the highlight of my visit! There’s a conveyor belt running overhead throughout the entire bistro, and that’s just for show, every loaf in it is a prop. However the bakery that is connected to the bistro is real, and you get to watch them make the bread. The machines and the people who run them are amazing!

We ate upstairs in the bistro not knowing really what to expect. It’s a nice place. The wait staff are dressed in black and white similar to a fine dining establishment. We ordered the clam chowder bread bowl (small) and fish and fries. The chowder was excellent and so was the fish! I didn’t particularly care for fries, since they were a little soggy and the coleslaw was not seasoned well but overall, we were extremely happy with our meal and service! We ate a late lunch around 3pm during the week so it wasn’t busy so we got a nice seat with a great view!

Fun place! On the first floor, you can even spot a conveyor belt with baskets of fresh Sourdough bread moving from the kitchen to the shop and back.

Boudin Bakery is probably the most famous bakery in the country thanks to their sourdough bread. They create a wonderful crisp bread that is as good as any other you’ll have. They also offer other breads like croissants but you’re not here for that. The sourdough can be eaten on its own, as a pizza base, in a sandwich, or as a soup bowl base. Seriously, order as much bread as possible. Prices on the menu will you about $12 for an entrée. Staff is nice but this is an incredibly busy and popular bakery so expect a line and wait.

We came across Boudin Bakery as strolling in Fisherman’s Wharf. The bakery items especially the sour dough breads were super fresh and tasty. Also, got to try the popular clam chowder in a sourdough bowl, which was delicious. The atmosphere was vibrant and cozy too.

Boudin is a must visit if you’re in San Fran. The bread was amazing. I got a small loaf of their sour dough that was shaped like a turtle and came back again a couple hours later to get another. Additionally, the factory itself is very cool. I would highly recommend if you’re in the area.

They have a simple but great menu, with a nice pistachio seating area where you can enjoy your food in a lively atmosphere. The sandwiches are good, and the chowders are delicious! The fresh baked bread makes all the difference.
