Tartine Bakery. San Francisco

The BEST bakery on earth! [even Mark Bittman agrees.] And the morning bun- a cinnamon roll for the gods- is the best-of-the-best. It is impossible to fore go them if you are in the Mission neighborhood. The lines are long and the service is sporadic, but it's all worthwhile.

This is one of the tiny buildings that is an attempt to replicate the actual structure. Go see for yourself. It is also one of the larger buildings. It is about 3-1/2 inches by 2-1/2 inches by 2-1/2 inches high.
