Bi-Rite Market

It should be no surprise that the city ’s best gourmet grocery slings some truly excellent sandwiches . Every ingredient is top-notch, and are combined in delicious sandwich style. Try the Vegan Hippie ! Read more

The undisputed king of local gourmet groceries , their cheese department is hard to match. Tell them what you like, be it sheep, goat , cow, or a blend, and they'll be happy to give you a taste-tour. Read more

Aisles are a bit cramped but it's only because bi-rite is so chock full of amazing foods- everything is carefully selected and knowledgeable staff are eager to give wine , cheeses , coffee bean advice.

The perfect place to pick up sandwiches before you go out and explore the city . Try the Grilled Chicken or Fried Chicken sandwich .

Super super pricey , but they have an amazing selection of good food. Get a pint of bi-rite ice cream here if you don't want to wait in line down the street.

The sour cream chocolate cake (no frosting !) is the perfect lazy night at home treat (and pairs beautifully with a movie rental from Faye's across the street.

tasty prepared food and sandwiches , excellent ice cream shop located across the street. go here for sandwiches , walk down the block to Dolores Park . The view from the is one of the best in the city .

My favorite place to buy groceries . Gets packed and it's rather spendy, but the selection is incredibly well curated. Can't go wrong with their wine , cheese , chocolate , pasta , and especially ice cream

I love it, it's like shopping at a farmers market . All of the staff is super knowledgeable and hip . Sample everything, just ask.

This is an expensive place that sells very good food. Particularly good for pre-made meals, and great fruit , vegetables and cheeses . But really, if you can order from elsewhere, I suggest it.

Great local market ! Folks here know their stuff. Amazing selection of chocolate , coffee , cheese , readymade eats, seafood and meats. Love Five Dot Ranch esp rib eye . Fav sandwhich - achiote chicken .

Ian is the best. He will answer all your questions and brainstorm the perfect menu for tonight's meal. Plus he gets to know you by name and makes bi rite feel like family.

The place to go for local, organic , and sustainable snacks and groceries . Produce here is always fresh and there are lots of samples offered. They cater and have a seasonal deli with a changing menu .

Tuna nicoise sandwich : best summer sandwich you could ever get. Cold seared tuna , saffron caper aioli , olive tapenade , arugula , warm Acme bread . Done.

Great little market . Best part is, their famous ice cream which they sell in pints at the back of the store.

A small grocery store full of artisanal goodness and an easy way to skip the line at the creamery across the street, buy a pint and take it to the park .

You can get the bi-rite ice cream without the line cross the street! Tiramisu jar is so good. Also a great selection of cheese and wine :)

1) Get the Watson's lamb loin. 2) They'll vacuum seal anything for you. 3) While you are cooking, use Bi-rite as dial-a-cook. They'll dole out tons of advice. Think of high prices as part service fee.

If you can stand the hipsters and high prices, it's a great place to buy produce, high quality meat, and ready-made sandwiches .

You can ask to try samples of their wonderful selection of cheese . Don't forget to check out their ice cream in pints.

Get any of the awesome beers they have and chocolate mousse is amazing and head to Dolores park to chill

Awesome sandwiches and right next to Dolores Park , perfect on a sunny afternoon. The roast beef and cheese one is delicious.

Fresh food , tasty sallads and sandwiches . Grab something and have a picnic at Dolores park on a sunday.

Turkey Sandwich . Bi Rite’s sandwich game is close to as strong as its ice cream game. Get an ice cream after, probably.

if you love union market in LES (manhattan) you'll love this place a little more

Everything you need to enjoy an afternoon at Delores Park . Snag a growler of Magnolia-brewed ale .

You can buy plastic cups for a dime a piece at the checkout counter. Good with that bottle of wine you just bought for the park .

If you fancy a fancy sandwich , get the achiote grilled chicken . Always a good choice.

Friendly customer service is what keeps this awesome mom and pop market thriving. Their curry chicken salad and quinoa is delicious as well .

They carry Boquerones (fresh pickled anchovies ). And the chopped liver is great.

The epitome of a neighborhood grocery . You will never figure out how they pack so much into that little store. Family-owned and committed to supporting local farmers and producers. -Preeti Mistry, Top

They sell their famous ice cream in freezers in the back. If you want some now, head across the street to their ice cream parlor .

Take your time because every aisle is filled with treasures

Amazing spot for sandwiches , cheese , and ready-made food near Dolores.

Looks and feels like a proper European neighbourhood grocery store . Only wish there were more like that in SF!

Impossible parking , ridiculously crowded , amazing products. Worth the hassle!

Picnic essentials/or cocktail party nibbles: Bring your own bag and fill with: Smoked whitefish , baguette , the Fidel Sandwich (order behind the counter), burretta (w/bit of olive oil salt/pepper). Read more

Best Grocery in the world, you absolutely trust everything they sell there, everything is amazing!!!

The "creme au chocolat " is awesome. Fantastic service, this is the Apple store for apples and more...

Quite possibly the single most expensive grocery store in the world, but their customer service is awesome and they have good bread . Expect Hipsters .

Great grocery store ! Orcanic, local, gluten free , fresh.

Small, cute little grocery store with good quality produce. Pricey af though

They're the best at giving you tons of information and recommendations, especially on meats and cheeses . Love this place!

Super pricey but they have great quality produce and other groceries .

Get fresh bread from Tartine and Brillat Severin cheese from Bi Rite and die happy.

They have affordable bunches of wildflowers ($8/cornflowers). Snag a number to order sandwiches .

Ice creams & Prepared entrees, sides, salads are phenomenal (and not cheap ).

Every neighbourhood needs a place like this! Great produce! The whole store smells amazing!

The lines are sooooo long but of course it's worth it, and then head to Mission Delores for a picnic !

Acme Pain Au Levain is still sold for $5, a cheap bread price in an otherwise expensive store!
