{SF} Things I Find Hard to Resist

August 8th, 2010 · No Comments · San Francisco, Sweet Spots, Sweet Spots

Puffsandowners

1. Two really sweet and friendly brothers offering up cream puffs made to an old family recipe.

Puffarray

2. Gorgeous, cumulus-cloud cream puffs with perfectly soft choux shells and satiny-rich fillings of vanilla, chocolate, or peanut butter (the weekend special). My friend and I polished all of these off – it wasn’t difficult, I assure you.

Sea-salt-caramels

Tendernob’s a little sweeter with the addition of Hooker’s Sweet Treats and their gloriously chewy-soft caramels dipped in dark chocolate and dusted with smoked sea salt.

Praline-caramel cookies and bread pudding warrant a return visit.
