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.
