When she’s not waiting tables at the tiny bistro, she works as a DJ, spinning at places like Pink (2925 16th St., 415-431-8889). Or, you may find her enjoying cassoulet at her other favorite restaurant, Le Petit Robert (2300 Polk St., 415-922-8100), or just generally making her life in SF a little more French.

The line for fresh-baked bread and pastries wraps around the block on weekends. It’s not unusual to see locals holding court at the communal table over steaming lattes in bowls. Morning flows easily into evening, thanks to a small list of wines by the glass.

Eats:What's on your menu.: <p>Flaky croissants and orange-scented morning buns draw a devoted crowd. The bread pudding, made with house-made brioche and seasonal fruit, is a true breakfast indulgence, and for lunch, a classic croque-monsieur with dressed greens is popular. It takes willpower to leave without goodies from the pastry case, such as a picture-perfect lemon-meringue tart or almond rocher cookie.</p> <p>MUST ORDER: A Morning Bun</p>
