An Irish Charmer
Ever been walking along a street that’s super familiar and then you look up and notice a store, a café, anything cool and unique that 
you’ve never seen before? I love this about San Francisco. Every neighborhood is unique and different, and each boasts endless restaurants and shops that can always surprise. How it happens that you pass by something a million times without seeing it, I’ll never know, but I’m always happy when it eventually does. In my own neighborhood, the Richmond, this phenomenon is no different. The
Richmond, while not as trendy as the Marina or hipster as the Mission, boasts a laid back beachy vibe, regardless of the infinite fog. While walking to my local coffee spot a while back, I noticed for the first time this delectable bakery window filled with scones of every kind and pastries stuffed with fruit and crème and deliciousness. I had to go in! John Campbell’s Irish Bakery turned out to be quite the find. Everyone simply has to experience it. Besides scones and sweet breakfast treats, they have these breakfast sandwiches that are old world Irish and insanely delicious. Freshly grilled sausages, cheese, eggs, and bacon falling out of just from of the oven ‘bap’ – freshly baked Irish bread. Heaven. This place has a wonderful aura that invites you in on a lazy weekend day. Because it’s not very big, it’s not ideal for sit down eating, but, if you are in the neighborhood on the way to the park or live in the area, it’s the spot to hit for fantastic to-go fare. And, at under $10, you’ll also save some green… How very Irish.
