While Marla Bakery has 'bakery' in the title, this brand new San Francisco restaurant boasts a menu that holds a whole lot more than just the standard baked goods. The Outer Richmond area eatery and retreat (photographed by Patricia Chang) is owned by Amy Brown and Joe Wolf and will eventually serve breakfast, lunch, brunch and dinner.
With morning menu items including candied orange pain au chocolat, cherry and lemon scones and cheese and freen onion turnovers, Marla Bakery is likely to be a hit with locals. They will also be serving their own bagels and making their own bread, like baguettes, levain and savoury walnut bread.
The charming 26-seat interior centers around a wood burning stove while the exterior has a beautiful patio area and garden.
