Rosalind Bakery - Pacifica, California

Lucy

I took a class at the mill in San Francisco and they recommended Rosalind bakery. My friend and I ordered a bunch of breads. We had croissant and chocolate croissant, savory danish and a blue corn cookie. Everything was so delicious and their coffee was good too had a good time chatting with the owner and was impressed by how he started the business out of passion. I definitely recommend this place to everyone in the Bay Area. It’s a very chill vibe and fun place to have breakfast because you get to see how people work in a bakery and enjoy the view from Pacifica.

Oh man, I'm broken, I'm split, I'm divided, I'm crushed, I'm polarized. What's not to like about a bakery that's a 15 minute walk along the Pacifica cliffs? A beautiful way to start your day, that it is, my friend. A place where friendly waiters with heart framed glasses await your order and shower you with friendly ease as you make eye contact. A resting spot that exudes the industrialism of your local baker is a gentle reminder that while you were sleeping, squinting your eyes open for another gorgeous day on the Coast, here the busy workers were getting ready to get you ready.
I recently moved to the area and came to buy bread on a Sunday: a microdough, considering there's only one stomach at my new place. Some comments here complain that the crust was burnt and hard, and the inside lacked sourdough-ness. I beg to disagree. My crust was perfect as pictured. And it's true the flavor was not overflowing with sour notes, and that worked for me.
My eye caught a lonesome kouign-amann next to the cash register. I'm a sucker for kouign-amann, which also makes me a bit of a connoisseur. I was hesitant because of the yellowish dot but figured that maybe it's just an adventurous spin on the real thing. Oh how my heart sank! Sacrilege! This is no adventure, this is bringing the honorable kouign-amann down to donut hell! Cream filling! Oh my ... Please rename the "thing" or have a real, true to its origin, kouign-amann in addition. But this ... Non, mais alors quel gâchis !
Last word: it's a bit pricey.

I found this place thanks to the reviews and I loved it. I had a mushroom pizza bread for brunch, which was delicious, very filling and only about $7! I also shared a chocolate croissant because I couldn’t leave without trying the pastries and it was also yummy. They have a bunch of caffeinated and non-caffeinated drinks. I drank a capuchino and it was good. The atmosphere is nice, and it has seating options both inside and outside (in front of the parking lot). The is music a bit loud for working and I wanted to dance to the cumbias they were playing haha. It gets pretty busy around lunch time during weekdays, but most people didn’t dine in. The service was great, and they have clean restrooms. I can’t wait to go back and try more pastries and bread.

Blew my mind that this bakery opened up 5 mins away from where I used to live in Pacifica. Pastries, pizza, and coffee are all amazing. GET YA BREAD HERE MAYNE!

I really didn’t like the loaf of sourdough i brought home. Opened the bag, and the crust was extremely tough and burnt. I tried the inside and it was soft enough, but in my opinion did not taste sour at all. It just tasted like wheat bread. This was my first time here because my usual place closed already. Not sure if it was because i came in the evening. Nonetheless, the crust was burnt and tough. Plus it was $14, so that was disappointing.

quant and cozy bakery in pacifica, a good place to stop by before a hike. pastries do the job but nothing top tier. skip the coffee. loved the atmosphere and live music on sundays!!

ham & cheese croissant: forgettable but decent

asparagus ricotta danish: unique combo that worked well but pastry tasted a bit stale

Walked in without hunger or need for bread, lured in by the muffins in the window display. And boy, am I glad we did. We got the olive loaf and the brown sugar poppyseed muffin, and all I can say is that I’m going to be thinking of that muffin for a long time. We live in SF and there is no shortage of great bakeries in our neighborhood, but we might have to drive down to Pacifica soon just to visit Rosalind’s again. The texture, moisture, and sweetness level of the muffin is unmatched. Well worth the (somewhat hefty) price.
