alumna Tiffani Faison makes fantastic barbecue at her Southern-style restaurant, but her gigantic, flaky biscuits — served with honey butter — are the real show-stoppers. The demand for these biscuits has been so huge that she recently added a second, biscuits-only oven to keep up with the lunch rush and deliveries.Photo Courtesy of Devil's Baking Company
Hilary Passman Cherniss left a law career to open her tiny Outer Sunset bakery in 2011. Located just four blocks from the beach , the bakery serves all manner of baked goods, but the breakfast sandwich is exceptional. The warm, flaky buttermilk biscuit topped with two scrambled eggs, cheddar cheese, and applewood-smoked bacon is the perfect post-surfing treat.
North Carolina native Seth Rubin was homesick for the flaky buttermilk biscuits of his childhood, so he decided to start making his own. His two cafes serve coffee and from-scratch North Carolina–style biscuits, including a daily flavor like Brie basil or pineapple sage. Don't miss the sandwiches and the decadently delicious biscuit cinnamon rolls.
