Marisa Williams of the pastry pop-up Sol Bakery is opening her first brick-and-mortar shop in the NoPa neighborhood, just one block from the Panhandle.\u00a0<\/p>\n<p class=\"paragraph-block article-body undefined text-left\">Though she\u2019s not ready to announce the address while construction is underway, Williams says she expects to start selling guava tarts and apple rhubarb puffs by early 2026.<\/p>\n<p class=\"paragraph-block article-body undefined text-left\">Williams wasn\u2019t actively looking for a space when a friend brought the vacant corner location to her attention. But for the San Francisco native, who grew up in the Haight Ashbury neighborhood, it was love at first sight. She walked over to check out the space in June, and \u201cit almost felt too good to be true,\u201d she recalls. \u201cEverything kind of fell into place.\u201d<\/p>\n<p class=\"paragraph-block article-body undefined text-left\">Fans of her seasonally inspired baked goods can expect many of the offerings that have made Sol Bakery one of the city\u2019s best-regarded pop-ups. That means cakes, cookies, tarts, brioche, and \u201cfocaccia, for sure.\u201d Down the line, she hopes to add a light option for breakfast (perhaps oats with homemade jam) and lunch (maybe a grain bowl). She plans to serve coffee made with beans from a rotating selection of local companies.\u00a0<\/p>\n<p><img alt=\"Round tartlets with half covered in smooth cream and half in a pink glaze, decorated with colorful edible flower petals and thin orange zest strands.\" loading=\"lazy\" width=\"2940\" height=\"3920\" decoding=\"async\" data-nimg=\"1\" class=\"block lazyloaded\" style=\"color:transparent;background-size:cover;background-position:50% 50%;background-repeat:no-repeat;background-image:url(&quot;data:image\/svg+xml;charset=utf-8,%3Csvg xmlns='http:\/\/www.w3.org\/2000\/svg' viewBox='0 0 2940 3920'%3E%3Cfilter id='b' color-interpolation-filters='sRGB'%3E%3CfeGaussianBlur stdDeviation='20'\/%3E%3CfeColorMatrix values='1 0 0 0 0 0 1 0 0 0 0 0 1 0 0 0 0 0 100 -1' result='s'\/%3E%3CfeFlood x='0' y='0' width='100%25' height='100%25'\/%3E%3CfeComposite operator='out' in='s'\/%3E%3CfeComposite in2='SourceGraphic'\/%3E%3CfeGaussianBlur stdDeviation='20'\/%3E%3C\/filter%3E%3Cimage width='100%25' height='100%25' x='0' y='0' preserveAspectRatio='none' style='filter: url(%23b);' href='data:image\/gif;base64,R0lGODlhAQABAAAAACH5BAEKAAEALAAAAAABAAEAAAICTAEAOw=='\/%3E%3C\/svg%3E&quot;)\"   src=\"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-ca\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/11\/1762956849_444_-S3840x5120-FPNG.png\"\/>Sol Bakery\u2019s guava tart. (Photo courtesy of Marisa Williams\/Sol Bakery)<\/p>\n<p class=\"paragraph-block article-body undefined text-left\">Williams launched Sol out of Outerlands on the west side in early 2024. She\u2019d just returned to San Francisco after a four-year stint in Copenhagen and then in Berlin, where she helped to open Sofi, a bread-focused bakery that uses local and organic grains. For the past year or so, she\u2019s been doing regular sales at Neighbor Bakehouse in the Dogpatch.\u00a0<\/p>\n<p class=\"paragraph-block article-body undefined text-left\">She has a few more pop-ups planned before the end of the year \u2014 fans can find her at Neighbor Bakehouse on Mondays in November, with mid-December dates to be determined \u2014 after which she\u2019ll wind down to focus on the new bakery. It\u2019s a dream to be able to bring her business to the neighborhood where she grew up and where her parents still live, she says.\u00a0<\/p>\n<p class=\"paragraph-block article-body undefined text-left\">\u201cFor a long time now, I\u2019ve wanted my own shop,\u201d Williams says. \u201cI\u2019m just trying to create a cozy neighborhood bakery.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Sol Bakery Date and timeOpening early 2026<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"In a few short months, anyone looking to grab a treat to take to Golden Gate Park will&hellip;\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":49593,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[30],"tags":[22660,414,2985,32122,8456,101,103,102,104,106,105],"class_list":{"0":"post-49592","1":"post","2":"type-post","3":"status-publish","4":"format-standard","5":"has-post-thumbnail","7":"category-san-francisco","8":"tag-bakeries","9":"tag-chefs","10":"tag-golden-gate-park","11":"tag-nopa","12":"tag-restaurant-openings","13":"tag-san-francisco","14":"tag-san-francisco-headlines","15":"tag-san-francisco-news","16":"tag-sf","17":"tag-sf-headlines","18":"tag-sf-news"},"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/49592","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=49592"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/49592\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/49593"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=49592"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=49592"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=49592"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
