About Us

Where did the name come from?

In 1982, SAN FRANCISCO PUFFS & STUFF, INC.
opened its doors as a full-service, all natural bakery, specializing in “San Francisco” style sour dough bread and fried sour dough “puffs”.  After only a few months, the bakery was invited to participate in a few special events.
Within a year, we became a full-service special event concessionaire and caterer.

SAN FRANCISCO PUFFS & STUFF will deliver all your event needs. Let us handle your food concessions; VIP catering and air show souvenirs. Whether it’s Hamburgers, Hotdogs and Chicken in a Pita or Caviar, Beef Tenderloin and Poached Salmon – We can fill all your culinary needs.
