Most noticably, there are half a dozen references to Tartine, a small bougie bakery and café in San Francisco's Mission District. Customers queue up around the block and shell out upwards of $10 for some decadent pastries.
The James Beard-winning bakery is famous for its breads, made from locally milled organic flours, sea salt, water, and wild yeast, and baked on a stone hearth in-house. In April, Tartine merged with Silicon Valley's favorite coffee house, Blue Bottle, and announced plans to expand to Los Angeles, New York, and Tokyo within the year.
The Apple Watch website showers Tartine with affection in its screenshots of the product. Below is a reminder for lunch with Ken at Tartine.
Can't get enough of that Tartine.

Here's what it's like at Apple's beloved bakery. In the a.m., customers line up to get their hands on Tartine's signature breakfast item: the morning bun.

The menu offers both savory and sweet treats, such as the brioche bread pudding topped with seasonal fruits.

With Blue Bottle raising $70 million in venture capital this week, could Tartine be Silicon Valley's next biggest venture? Stop by 600 Guerrero Street in San Francisco's Mission District and judge for yourself.
