Short answer
Liguria Bakery sells focaccia and nothing else, so a first visit is about choosing flavors. Pizza focaccia and rosemary garlic are the easiest starting points, and going early matters because the bakery can sell out.
Liguria Bakery focaccia is the whole reason to visit: the bakery in North Beach, San Francisco, is described as a focaccia-only shop, so a first visit comes down to which flavors to pick and when to arrive. This guide is independent and does not take orders. It sums up what the public sources say, with the date of each.
What flavors does Liguria Bakery make?
Tasting Table (5 March 2026) says the bakery makes fewer than ten varieties. It names pizza, rosemary garlic, black olive, mushroom, jalapeno with cheese and raisin. Two more flavors appear only in older sources: plain focaccia (The Infatuation, 2018, and a 2009 profile) and green onion (a 2009 profile). Treat those two as unconfirmed for today.
The list can change, and the sources do not agree on every flavor, so ask at the counter what is on that morning.
Which flavor should a first-timer pick?
A 2009 profile called the pizza focaccia, topped with tomato sauce and green onion, the most popular flavor. That is a 2009 observation, but the flavor is still named by Tasting Table in 2026, which makes it a reasonable first pick.
| If you like | Flavors to look at | Source |
|---|---|---|
| A savory classic | Rosemary garlic | Tasting Table, 2026 |
| Something close to pizza | Pizza focaccia | Tasting Table, 2026 |
| Salty and rich | Black olive, mushroom | Tasting Table, 2026 |
| A little heat | Jalapeno cheese | Tasting Table, 2026 |
| A sweet piece | Raisin | Tasting Table, 2026 |
Buying two or three different pieces is a simple way to compare, since a single piece is a modest amount of food rather than a full sheet.
How is the focaccia sold?
Tasting Table reports counter service, with the focaccia handed over wrapped in paper and tied with string. A 2009 profile describes staff cutting slabs to order and wrapping them the same way. Older reports mention large sheets, and no recent source says whether whole sheets or halves are sold today, so ask if you want a bigger amount for a group.
How much does Liguria Bakery focaccia cost?
Tasting Table (March 2026) puts a piece at about $8 to $10. That is the only current price found. The bakery has no published price list, so this guide gives no price for individual flavors. A 2009 article quoted a much lower figure for rosemary garlic, and that number is out of date.
Tasting Table also says payment is cash only. Bring cash, or call the bakery at (415) 421-3786 to check.
What else is for sale?
Tasting Table says the bakery sells Neapolitan pizza dough for baking at home. No price was found and no source describes the size. Bread loaves, pastries, cookies and drinks are not reported, so do not plan a visit around them.
When should you go?
Google Maps lists Tuesday to Saturday, 7 AM to 12 PM, closed Sunday and Monday. Several sources say the bakery closes as soon as the focaccia is gone, and Tasting Table says it often sells out before 10 AM in the regular season. A first visit is best planned for the early part of the morning on a weekday.
The address is 1700 Stockton St, at the corner of Filbert Street beside Washington Square. The hours and location page has the full details, and the menu page lists every flavor with its sources.
