While the cruffin's flaky layers of sticky-sweet goodness would be enough to draw a crowd, Mr. Holmes has another secret weapon that has contributed to its speedy ascent to the top of Bay Area must-visit lists: it is so damn Instagram-able. From gold-lettered boxes and a neon sign that both display the bakery's cheeky slogan ("I got baked in San Francisco"), to the variety of delectable pastries behind the counter, the bakehouse is as pleasing to the eye as a cruffin is to taste buds. It's no wonder that after three months of business, the owners are already looking for a larger San Francisco location and a new spot in Los Angeles.
