San Francisco's Destination Bakery Closed Over Severe Rodent Infestation

Health inspectors found live rodents, contamination, and persistent violations, forcing the Glen Park bakery to remain closed until issues are resolved.

• Destination Bakery, a Glen Park neighborhood staple since 2000, was shut down by the San Francisco Department of Public Health following inspections revealing severe rodent infestation.
• Health inspectors discovered live rodents, droppings on pie tins and cake boxes, gnaw marks on food storage bags, and contamination in food preparation areas.
• Efforts by the owner to address the problem, including repairing the garage door and attempting to vermin-proof the property, have not resolved the violations.
• The bakery's permit remains suspended, and it must remain closed until all health code violations are corrected and its permit is reinstated.
• The closure highlights broader rodent infestation issues in Glen Park, which also led to the shutdown of Canyon Market in 2022.
