1. Arsicault
$ | Richmond |The search for the best, flakiest croissant in San Francisco ends at this tiny French bakery off Clement Street. Other popular items include an assortment of scones, cookies, and kouign-amann (a Breton pastry); coffee and tea complete your treat. Lines may be long but move fast and are well worth the wait.

3. Devil's Teeth Baking Company

Browse the bakery's selection of used books from local favorite Green Apple while you wait, and if you can't get a spot among the limited sidewalk seating, the beach is close by. A second location in the Outer Richmond (3619 Balboa St.) has the same crowd and delectable menu, but parking is much easier here.

The bakery stays open delightfully late.
