    OMG the raspberry ring and cannoli are amazing - and the limoncello gelato is INCREDIBLE! A wonderful Italian family-run pastry shop in North Beach!

    Mara's Italian Pastry is exactly the kind of business San Francisco needs more of--it's owned and operated by a family (from Italy, even!) their offerings are fresh, authentic and unfussy (gelato and cannoli? Yes, please!). The prices are decent as well, you can grab a pastry and a real espresso for way under 10 bucks (then sit at a cute table outside to enjoy North Beach culture). My recommendation is Raspberry Rings. They're huge, like as big a a child's head huge and so good. Like so good you'll intend to "get one to share" and immediately regret having to give up even a crumb. You won't be able to finish it all in one sitting, but I guarantee you'll want to tuck it away "for later". Again, the fact that this place exists and thrives is everything I love about San Francisco..it endures. I love trendy places, food fads, pop ups and insta-worthy decor as much as the next person-but they come and go. Mara's is reliable, steadfast and truly good. It's also the oldest bakery shop in North Beach, so even if you don't believe me, it's the facts.

    Okay, so I've been to Mara's about 37 times now but oddly enough this is all the pictures I have. The best thing about Mara's is the visuals that draw you in. Nothing is as beautiful as a fresh array of pastries sitting in a clear glass window. Talk about marketing genius too. Establishing a few things off the bat. Yes it's too expensive and yes some of the items are hit or miss. The variety is great and there are some unique offerings you can't get at the other Italian bakeries. Will I ever claim this is one of the best bakeries in the city? No. But I feel loyal to Mara after the plethora of experiences we've shared. To judge this place is hard because it really depends on what pastries you like. Some things they do better than others. But as is life. This is my go to Italian pastry spot in North Beach and you are talking to a guy who eats a lot of pastries. (4.5 Stars)
