Boudin Bakery & Caf?e
Reviews
Tourists from all over come to Boudin for their famous clam chowder and bread bowl (unfortunately I can't attest to this, I'm not a clam fan). I work across the street from Boudin and have found it to be both a curse and a blessing. Boudin is one of the better, less greasy options on Pier 39 for lunch. They have decent grilled cheeses, tomato soup, and turkey havarti sandwiches with their dee-lish sourdough bread (come on, how can you come to San Francisco and not have some sourdough bread?). However, the prices are high for an everyday lunch and the menu gets somewhat tiring. I would definitely recommend this if you're looking for something easy in the area but wouldn't come back repeatedly.
Been here a couple of times, love their clam chowder bread bowl. Great on a super cold day. Very seasoned clam chowder, but they also have a lot of other different type of food. Sandwiches are ok, I would rather just go somewhere else for a better sandwich. The staff are nice and the service is really fast.
If you're visiting the area you must try Boudin's at least once for the best sourdough bread in the world. I've had the clam chowder bread bowl, sourdough pizza, roast beef sandwich and garden salad. All were above par except for the sandwich which was average. Decent beer selection. Fun place to walk around. Casual fast eatery downstairs and sit down cafe upstairs with more selection on the menu. There is also a museum upstairs which is well staffed and full of fun facts and exhibits. The bakery is at the center of it all so you can see how they make the bread. The downstairs is busy but they move customers through very efficiently. Recommended if you're In a hurry.
Soo disappointed. Ate there 8 years ago and it was good. Now, last week, dry bread, bad crab salad and TERRIBLE croissant!!! I will never return!
A truly fancy place! I love coming here and buying loafs of bread! The food is great, the wait isn't long and the location is ideal! Packed with tourists but what would you expect! It's a fun and nice place to be! Fig and Brie is always a great pick!
