Customers queue up around the block for Tartine's famous morning bun.

Apple has a lot of love for San Francisco's hipsters. Earlier this week, BuzzFeed pointed out that the tech giant's Apple Watch website catered to their interests, with references to bicycling and street art.

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.
