Noe Valley Bakery

This neighborhood bakery has been in business for twenty years, peddling a nostalgia-inducing array of cupcakes as well as breads, pies, pastries and cookies. The cupcake flavors span Boston cream pie to lemon drop, but the perennial favorite is the "Most-est" cupcake, an oversized, homemade spin on the Hostess treat—cream filling and frosted squiggle included.
