Little Bee Baking

Former Chez Panisse pastry chef Stacie Pierce opened this tiny Bernal Heights bakery in 2013. She stresses seasonal ingredients and flavors, resulting in an inventive, ever-changing pastry cake. (Look for the rosemary cornmeal cookie first.) The packed case is a boon for lovers of baked goods, heaped with almond macaroons, gingersnaps, and chocolate chip, chocolate sea salt, brown butter pecan, and hazelnut chocolate chip cookies.
