634793 Tue Jul 07 23:15:22 -0700 2009 14 1 San Francisco Bay Area 0 4838571 I'm looking for bakery bargains in san francisco...weekly deals, day-olds sold for cheap, or just plain something delicious that's sold for not too much money. While taste IS important I'm also interested in scope -ie, do certain neighborhoods have more bargains, do few have bargains, etc? Recession specials, if you will. So far I've got on my list: 1. Philz coffee sells day-old pastries for super cheap 2. That Takes The Cake sells reduced price day-old cupcakes 3. Maggie Mudd -Wednesday sales I know From Hollow in the Ferry Building used to offer pastry deals late in the afternoon after they'd stopped baking for the day but I know they've had some turnover and aren't sure if they still do that.

Fri Jul 10 16:02:59 -0700 2009 4838571 105235 wolfe 1 4848096 I haven't been in a while, but Citizen Cake sold bread at 1/2 price after 6pm. You might call them and see if they still do that.
