Conchas that are fluffy with just enough density to feel substantial without tipping into sweet are Norte 54's calling card, and they're worth tracking down. This pop-up bakery rotates through Mexican pastries and desserts: buñuelos one week, tres leches cake the next, all rooted in nostalgia and sharpened by pastry technique. Catch it at Mission Mercado, Grand Coffee, or Nopalito, depending on the week.

Conchas
“pop-up Norte 54 is the frontrunner for best conchas ($5), which are fluffy with a bit of density and never too sweet.”
San Francisco Chronicle -
Buñuelos
“Options change frequently; one week you might encounter perfectly crisp buñuelos ($5; fried wheat fritters dusted in cinnamon sugar); another you’ll find absurdly moist tres leches cake ($5).”
