About Sarah Bonar
Sarah Bonar is the pastry chef at Frances and Octavia. Her start in baking was atypical. Since her family didn’t have a lot of money for college tuition, she followed the lead of her father, a career army soldier, and joined the military. Honorably discharged as a sergeant after five years stationed in San Antonio, Texas, as a Spanish linguist, she attended culinary school on the GI Bill; after graduation, she landed her first industry job at Frances’s pastry station, working for chef-owner Melissa Perello.

Where I Go Out
Russian honey cake
$$, Café, Breakfast, Civic Center
"This cake is my favorite in the city. So much that we had it as our wedding cake! Moist, not too sweet and a nice ratio of buttercream to cake, perfect in every way."
Kimchi Toast
$$, Coffee Shop, Bakery, Breakfast, Dogpatch
"Not the sexiest pastry, but so delicious! I mean, I could eat a barrel of kimchi, so I may be biased, but I order this every time I visit...which is probably too much. Is there such a thing?"
summer squash
$$$, Chinese, Chinatown
"Literally everything we tried here was phenomenal, but the summer squash was a standout. Lots of texture and tons of flavor. A must order if it's on the menu."
