    Has the charm of a local bodega, the swagger of a Whole Foods and the warmth you get from your favorite mom and pop shop. We wanted to move in. Instead we just loaded up on local artisan food stuffs.

    The most precious produce. They might give you the ugly/bruised stuff for free on a good day. Happy meats, French wine and house romesco and pesto sauces. Most $ per square foot, but I can't hate

    Love love this place! It's small but there's a great selection and yes, a tad pricey. Bi-rite ice cream...DELICIOUS!

    The pork bahn mi has quite a few jalapeños, so ask for less if you can't handle much heat; great place to pick up a sandwich if you're on your way to a picnic.

    Beautiful produce but pricey. Fantastic selection of cheeses and local breads. Find firebrand artisan bread's pumpkin seed pretzels and authentic bagel co.'s bagels here.

    Keep your eyes out for unusual fruits, Stumptown coffee, and on-shelf sample cups. In fact, speaking of samples: You can try not just their delicious ice cream, but also, amazingly: liqueurs.

    Always fun to walk through Bi-Rite. Get the fresh ice cream (they have hand-packed pints in the freezer section too).

    Among the best wine stores in the city for price and quality with knowledgable staff to walk you through the selection process.

    Some great sandwiches here. Try to ham and cheese with bechamel sauce. Finish that up with a salted caramel ice cream cone. The produce is generally good but the place can be quite expensive.

    If you can stand the hipsterism and priciness of everything here, they've got some really great produce and good deli sandwiches.

    THE best grocery store in SF. Today, I was buying a bunch of stuff and left a piece of ginger on the counter and the cashier ran halfway down the block to give it to me. That is f****** service!

    Ask at the counter for fresh-baked goods like scones and mini-brioche... Deli meats are outstanding! Customer service is out of this world!

    The produce is excellent here, like shopping the farmer's market. The Bi-rite brand products are just as tasty and well priced.

    While expensive, Bi-Rite provides fantastic selection, a great deli, and delightful service. Can't recommend it highly enough.

    Salted caramel ice cream was good if over-rated. 1 scoop of strawberry balsamic with 1 scoop of basil will rock your world though.

    What a sensible place - you can ask for half pints of soup. Perfect if you like soup and sandwich lunches!

    When I'm low on funds and can't spend $10 on a jar of pickles, I can just go across the street to Popeyes. Divis, you're the best

    "Fancy Chinese Pinenuts"... What sort of stupidity is this? 2years ago the Chinese are poisoning us with them on the cheap, this year hipsters are paying $50/lb for the privilege.
