Judicious question post on Chowhound

"I am just curious to learn where everyone gets their chocolate (or plain butter) croissants from. So far, the best place I've been is Acme bread in the Ferry Buidling." [edited]

Here are some answers, usual suspects but also a remarkably good distribution around the bay

Tartine

(415) 487-2600

Delanghe
1890 Fillmore St, San Francisco, CA
(415) 923-0711

La Farine

Fleur De Cocoa - short review
39 N Santa Cruz Ave, Los Gatos, CA
(408) 354-3574

The French probably cringe at the idea of a "chocolate croissant" but I can deal with how that would be a name for our treasured "pain au chocolat". I'll have to get over to Tartine one of these days with the universal praise or what not (though my man Ced actually finds fault with the chocolate, "Tartine's chocolate croissant with scharfenberger chocolate in it: it is the only chocolate croissant that I cannot finish. It's just too much".. how he can trace the kind they use is beyond me), I can vouch for Fleur de Coca, very safe
