Boudin Bakery

Opens early, only to-go is available in this bakery.
Clam chowder soup is thick and a bit on the salty side. But have it with their signature bread is nice.

We got a large loaf of sour dough sliced,a small jalapeno and cheddar loaf and a chocolate chip cookie. All were so delicious! My 9 year old said that's the best cookie he's ever had and I have to agree. If I lived closer I'd be stopping by once a week

This little Boudin location opens at 6am. Perfect for an early snack. I had their ham cheese croissant $4.25 and a cup of clam chowder $7. The croissant is not bad. They don't heat it up though; you know, to melt the cheese. The clam chowder came with a little piece of sourdough bread to dip into the soup. Quite frankly, the clam chowder at Safeway had more clams. I did enjoy this cup of chowder. There are much better clam chowder throughout the city. Boudin is good if you are in a hurry and don't want to sit down for some soup. Service is excellent (if you know about the one person in-store policy.)

Better than other places that serve clam chowder in a sourdough bowl. This bread was ultra fresh and the soup was a perfect consistency. Enjoyed the large Caesar salad as well. Thanks!!

A good selection of various sourdough bread and well as artisanal baked bread is available here. The Bakery is famous for the Clam Chowder or the Tomato Soup which is served in the hollow Sourdough bread. We tried the Tomato soup, it was served along with some croutons for garnish. One order is enough for two people. A must try place!!

The calamari was excellent but that clam chowder... Well, first my apologies to my Beantown peeps (I see you Atlanta Fish Company! 😆). I thought that I had experienced the best clam chowder ever back in Boston but the one at Boudin is beyond delicious and served in that sourdough bread bowl. Savory and unique!

Bread was insanely good (more on the chewy side which I like)

This is a no nonsense bakery, no seating, no tacky wall art to make for nice instagram pictures. Just very good bread at a very good prices.

Would highly recommend.

Had the tuna. My wife the turkey with avocado. Both in sour roll. July 30, 2023. Extraordinarily good. 😋 Short wait. Parking easy. Beautiful weather.

The bread was delicious. This was my first time trying a clam chowder bread bowl in San Francisco and I was not disappointed. I also got a focaccia. I would definitely come back here when in SF.

Amazing sourdough bread. A must while in San Francisco. They also have several locations!

Good bakery products, from very historic old San Francisco "sourdough bread" origins. Sadly this bakery has recently been shut down and the bakers were sent packing! 🤔 As of October 2018, the neighborhood retail store is still open - selling product from the Wharf location of Boudin Bakery. So are we to be seeing the beloved old building sold for new Condominimums complex in the Richmond District?? 😞.

I absolutely love this place. If I lived here, I'd go here all of the time. It's a small bakery. You can buy sourdough bread in many shapes and flavors. And they have one of the best clam chowders around and all for a very decent price. It's a definite guilty pleasure.

And best of all, since no one really knows about it, you can drop in quickly, grab what you need and not have to fight a crowd like at the fisherman's wharf or at union square.it is for us locals. Seems like it is really a location for the commercial bakery but they serve bread and chowder on the side. Yeah!!!

Fresh baked bread, sandwiches, croissants, pizza, and more. So fresh and delicious! The softest sourdough I have ever encountered. Great crust on everything.

Visiting SF and this place was recommended. The long loaf sourdough was perfect - crispy crust and soft interior with the sourdough flavor we were looking for. Also enjoyed a very flavorful Ham and Swiss croissant. Five minute wait, mid afternoon on a Monday. Worth it.

The best bread in the world. Turkey and havarti combo with clam chowder bread bowl. I just wish they would bring back the butter cookies with chocolate and sprinkles. I'm a Boudin baby, both my parents worked there when I was born but on Fisherman's wharf. This location has the locals prices.

Great neighborhood bakery. Full service applied by by friendly staff. Their sour doughs are legendary. I have a friend who needs to follow a gluten free diet and she fully tolerates their sour dough. She claims it's the "old" starter they use. Anyway, if you want some excellent FRESH sour dough you will find it here.

Picked up my chocolate rasin bread, always delicious and fresh

SF institution, friendly staff, and good prices considering the quality of the product

Yesterday stopped by at Boudin on 10th ave. All the times I have stopped in, your staff has been amazing and the customer service is why you are my go to for all my breads, cookies and food. Please thank your staff for me. Thank you!

Friends, if you're a sourdough lover, there's no comparison to getting it fresh from Boudin's. Store bought doesn't come close. Make a meal of the heavenly soft bread and get some butter! Have it with soup or salad or just eat it on it's own! I love it and you will too!
