Chocolate Chip Cookie at The Slanted Door

The Slanted Door cookie kiosk
Ferry Building Marketplace- San Francisco
$1

I was with my mom on a short visit to S.F. last week and by the time I found this nugget last Saturday, we’d walked probably 5 miles and tasted about 4 other cookies in the Ferry Building/farmers’ – all of them before noon. The day before that, we’d tasted about 3 others in the city. This was the most remarkable of the bunch.

Craftsman & Wolves
746 Valencia St. – San Francisco
$2.75*
