Granello Bakery & Cafe winner of
Best Bakery in the Staff poll.
We love it for the ciabatta, the Italian peasant bread with a tough
crust and an interior that fights back when you bite. But owner Laurie
Steed's the real Bay area deal, so Granello's also is the place for
sourdough. Then there are the zuccotto, the St. Honore cake, the
gianduia, the pear-and-almond frangipani tart, the croissants filled
with hazelnut cream, the rum-soaked chocolate cake with chocolate mousse
and raspberry marmalade.
