If you love pretty candy, delicious gourmet cakes, and gorgeous packaging then you will absolutely fall in love with Miette in San Francisco. Miette has several locations around town, but I especially love their shop on Octavia Street.
This stunningly beautiful store is a true feast for the eyes, as well as the stomach. From the lovely papered walls to the rows of sparkling glass candy-filled jars.
The displays are so whimsical...featuring lots of pretty cakes stands.
Miette offers many unusual and hard-to-find confections from all over the world. Each one prettily presented...
The beautifully decorated cakes look like they are straight out of a Thiebaud painting...
And the packaging is so sweet...
So, next time you are in San Francisco, be sure to check out Miette!

Ah that's funny, I used to work in a chocolate shop called 'Miette' in the Cotswolds, UK! I have always wanted to go to San Francisco ever since I was about 14 years old. Anyway, lovely photos and blog :)
