Lulu Petite (San Francisco, CA)
A Ferry Sugary Beginning
As can be expected, one of the most important stops on my list for this trip to San Francisco was the Ferry Building. Having been renovated within the last few years, the Ferry Building has once again emerged as a cornerstone of the city. The building is now home to many culinary pleasures including restaurants, small eateries, shops, and wine bars. For this foodie, it was an outstanding place to go to and it did not disappoint. I could have spent an entire day here but we only had a few hours to spare.
We decided to start our morning at the Ferry Building with a light pastry breakfast. We grabbed three counter seats at Lulu Petite and placed our order. My and I started out with our usual coffee which was generic tasting. Dad ordered their specialty raspberry hot chocolate which was incredible. The raspberry flavoring was extremely bold and well balanced with the chocolate. Dad thoroughly enjoyed his apple galatoire. The sliced apples were plentiful and the pastry crust was light. Mom ordered a rather large dried fig and cherry scone. The scone itself was fairly bland and a little too dense but the fruit was excellent: moist and plentiful. I enjoyed my chocolate cherry brownie with white chocolate chunks on top. The brownie was moist and chewy although I was disappointed the white chocolate chunks which were surprisingly hard and bland. After consuming enough sugar to wake up a sleeping baby, we left the counter and continued our tour of the Ferry Building.
