Boudin Bakery (Fisherman's Wharf flagship)

Boudin Bakery was founded in San Francisco in 1849 and is widely associated with the city's sourdough tradition originating during the Gold Rush era. The Fisherman's Wharf flagship location at 160 Jefferson Street operates a demonstration bakery and museum that traces the company's history and explains the sourdough starter and baking process. Boudin's sourdough and its Fisherman's Wharf site have become iconic components of San Francisco's waterfront cultural and culinary history. The company continues to operate baking and retail locations throughout the city and region.
