Boudin Bakery & Cafe: "We love their olive loaves" Boudin Bakery & Café Tip by Gypsystravels

Boudin is a San Francisco institution and has been around since 1849. They are known for the sourdough bread which are baked fresh daily and use the original recipe. There are a variety of breads with include the sourdough, Kalamata olive (my favorite), walnut, ciabatta and pain au levain.

I've been buying bread here for years and everytime I'm in San Francisco I try to bring home a few loaves. My sister and I love their kalamata olive loaf made with delicious olives. The bread is so yummy, hearty and can last a few days if you use it for toasting.

I've never eaten at the bakery, but it's always packed with people eating their signature bread bowl with clam chowder. The location at Fisherman's Wharf has a really large bakery, cafe and restaurant with beautiful large windows over looking the bay.

Favorite Dish: I love their Kalamata Olive loaf and take home a 1lb loaf everything I find myself down by Fisherman's Wharf.
