Worth the Wait

Although lines are never fun, sometimes the payoff makes them a non-issue. We’ll gladly queue up for the food in these establishments anytime.

65 The Bovine Bakery This beloved Point Reyes Station bakery makes all its organic treats — from breads, croissants and cookies to quiche, soups and pizza — right on the premises, but even the savvy visitor knows to line up early for the scrumptious and gooey morning bun. savorcalifornia.com

66 Sol Food Finding a sizzling hot Puerto Rican meal with a very cool vibe isn’t hard in San Rafael, although avoiding the crowds of loyal customers might be a little more difficult. Just look for either of Sol Food’s two locations, where authentic flavors meet a modern lifestyle (natural beef, free-range chicken, vegan, vegetarian and gluten-free options) in a colorful and festive space. solfoodrestaurant.com

67 Sushi Ran Long considered a Sausalito favorite, Sushi Ran is also widely recognized as one of the top Bay Area restaurants. Choose the omakase, or chef’s choice, for the most innovative offerings or opt for the popular king trumpet mushrooms or vegetarian sampler and then top it all off with the mascarpone ice cream cocktail. Call ahead for a seat at the busy bar. sushiran.com
