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