Chadwick's

Located in the heart of the Castro District, Chadwick’s offers guests distinctive, delicious, made-from-scratch baked goods and coffee. Specialty menu items include “Fun Buns” – Chadwick’s elevated rendition of the classic cinnamon roll – and “Dough Boys” – individual, focaccia-style pizzas.

Chadwick’s menu is the fruit of owner Michael Evans’ years of baking as a hobby, first inspired by his mother, who taught him to be fearless in trying new recipes. Decades of experience and learning have given Michael the expertise to utilize unique, globally inspired techniques in perfecting his baked creations.

Michael uses a method called Tangzhong, or water roux, to make moist, fluffy “Fun Buns” that stay fresh. Chadwick’s savory, salty, olive oil pan-fried “Dough Boys” feature a focaccia crust that is airy in the middle, crispy on the bottom, and full of flavor on its own, and his signature homemade pizza sauce. Chadwick’s is just getting started. There are many more items to come as Michael develops the menu and offerings.

Michael Evans, founder, and owner of Chadwick’s, moved to San Francisco in the late 1990s, encouraged by the city’s reputation as a welcoming place for LGBTQ folks. Michael’s love of baking and his desire to share the fruits of his labor with the neighborhood where he first found acceptance and friendship remains a constant.
