1701 Church Street at 29th |
Before
it closed in the spring of 1998, Star Bakery on Church Street and
29th in Noe Valley was the oldest continuously operating bakery in San
Francisco. The bakery closed down after two years and a few months under
the direction of it's most recent owner, Laura Catapano. Catapano cited
the lack of parking and foot traffic in the neighborhood among reasons
for closing down. Star Bakery, an institution famous for its Irish soda
bread, catered to neighborhood customers and visitors from nearby St. Paul's
Church for 99 years. |
