Such a nice complimentary spot to Cafe Isabella next door! BTS (also good acronym) has a huge menu full of fresh healthy juices, smoothies and food. It's tucked away up on the hill, and parrots tend to hang out in the trees across the street. There are a few small shared tables outside, take a break in the nice weather and enjoy some healthy options! Keto, protein, and milk based options too. Happy to see this menu in the neighborhood.

A lovely place to hang out with friends. Cozy and comfortable. Foods are very delicious Especially the signature ramen. Very rich and the portion is huge. The store manager Eric is very friendly and helpful. I do recommend this place and I will come back for sure.

Great place to get a healthier version of food. The service was good. I enjoyed the avocado toast. It hit the spot. Great place to visit.

I love this little grocery store tucked away in North Beach. It has a great variety of foods,…read morebrands, and even a good assortment of personal care products (if you're needing something in a pinch). The guy working on the weekends (employee? owner? not sure) is nice and polite and always has a smile when we're there. We enjoy picking up unique beer and ciders from the wide assortment in the fridges in the second half, as well as finding interesting cheeses. It's also great for the one or two things you might need that evening or snacks for later. My only complaint is I wish I lived closer so I could go a bit more often!

This convenient little shop has an excellent wine selection and lots of upscale consumable options…read more Their wine pricing is also often less than the average prices listed on Vivino. It's a grocery store, but has a bit of a boutique and rich vibe. It's one of the few places to get Mary's Chicken in the area and I have to get chocolate every time I go in there. The ambiance seems very hygienic to me, so I feel drawn into the place when I walk by. The Nature Stop has nice stuff, but my review has to be in earnest... maybe 2 or 3 stars? It's annoying that through several iterations of ridiculousness, you have to expect encountering some unnecessary and incompetent problem during each transaction. Two different cashiers didn't seem to understand the concept of tare weight. They weighed the meat with the packaging and attempted to charge me for it, despite the fact that the weight of the meat was printed directly on the packaging. I've worked in a meat department before and I have never seen that kind of inept behavior. It's insulting to the customer. So at the present time, the 2021 Domaine Bousquet Malbec is $11.99 here. The cashier scanned it and it came up as zero. He joked that it was free, but then had the audacity to offer me the obviously more expensive reserve price of $16.99, like the reserve one right next to it, and laughed in my face. I passed as I knew that Trader Joe's has the exact same thing for $9.99. Tonight, the Elysian 'tiger beer', listed at $13.99, rang up at $17.99, the same as their space dust. I passed, but they should at least have offered to have honored the price they had printed out for customers to read. The Space Dust IPA at S&S Market, one block away, was $15.99, so I bought it there and got to pet their cat too. It's a bit of a first world problem, but I didn't notice until being at home that my $6.25 chocolate bar, which is more than I made hourly when younger, was comprised of the wrong variety. I grabbed the chocolate bar behind the front one, to avoid the most touched one. It is a berry chocolate bar instead of the ginger one, and it's great, but still, the employees should be better at recovery. I was one of about two people in the store and it was not busy. I recommend going to this place to get ideas. Double check all the prices and shop around, but they have great merchandise. My suggestion to the owner is to install a self-checkout. The guy stocking merchandise was very helpful tonight with my bags.

We were craving açaí bowls and went to our original spot: Bowl'D Açaí…read more Their bowls have a generous layer of tart açaí and the "These Nuts" bowls come with another velvety, thick, rich layer of homemade peanut butter, bee pollen, honey, granola, almonds, banana plus additional toppings for about $1 each (cocoa nibs, whey protein, chia seeds and more). I'm hungry just tapping out these ingredients. They have lots of other combinations including "Cheat Day" (mmm Nutella too!) FinnCinerator's had many times. Their green and blended smoothies and citrus and ginger shots are also terrific. Because I'm greedy I also ordered the "Great White" ahi bowl "piranha style" (spicy) that I could have later for dinner. It was a bit light on the ahi so I was slightly disappointed. It's such good quality tuna that I simply wanted more. There are other very good açaí businesses in San Francisco but Bowl'D Açaí satisfies like no other. I think it's the thiccc layers of ingredients and you just can't wait to dig in with a spoon! Bowl'D Açaí offers the kind of food my son's beloved swim coach calls "strong foods": Healthy foods meant to satisfy with enough carbs to power you through hours of working out yet not so heavy to weigh you down. Knowing this, Bowl'D Açaí is going to do gangbusters business once Fitness SF opens their beautiful new gym in November 2026 across the street in the Lombardi building. And good for them!

I love açaí bowls, so when I saw that they had a happy hour sign (10am-2:30pm daily) for $12.99, I…read moredecided to stop by to grab one for lunch! This location is really close to my work, which was great. I stopped by on a Tuesday at 1:30pm and there were only a few customers inside. I like the simple decor and the big menu on the wall, it reminded me of Hawaii. I ordered the original gangster and waited less than 5 minutes before it was ready. The açaí was not too sweet (just how I like it), and I loved all the toppings that came with it such as the granola, banana, blueberry, coconut shavings, and honey. The strawberry was a bit too tart but other than that, everything was great. I think I've found my favorite açai spot in the city. I can't wait to try other flavors next time I stop by.

DO NOT PAY FOR DELIVERY…read more We paid extra to have our order delivered to our hotel and used the restaurant's order-ahead option. We scheduled the delivery for 9:20 a.m., but by 8:40 a.m. the app showed it had already been delivered. The problem? There was no food at our hotel room. I tried contacting the delivery driver by text, but never received a response. It was incredibly frustrating, especially after leaving a generous tip. We later found out the driver had left the food at the hotel but never told the front desk which room it was for, even though they had all of the delivery information. As a result, our food just sat there until we eventually had to go down and get it ourselves. In the end, I paid for a delivery service that I never actually received. Instead of enjoying the convenience we paid for, we had to track down our own order. Based on this experience, I would not recommend paying for delivery. If you're ordering from this restaurant, save your money and pick it up yourself. I paid for a service, but I did not receive what I paid for. Then to make it worse the breakfast sandwich was just OK. Nothing to write home to mom about. To say the least we will not be ordering her again and would not recommend this restaurant.

I explained that my son really needed to use the restroom, but she insisted that the restroom was for paying customers only. I told her I would be more than happy to purchase something, but she refused to provide the code unless I made a purchase first. Meanwhile, my young son was desperately waiting to use the bathroom. I even asked my husband to come inside and purchase something right away, explaining that we were willing to spend money. Despite this, Ayana continued to refuse to help us. I understand that businesses may have policies regarding restroom access, but the complete lack of compassion and basic courtesy in this situation was unacceptable. This was a five-year-old child who urgently needed to use the restroom, and I was willing to make a purchase. There was absolutely no reason for the interaction to be handled with such hostility. Ayana was extremely rude, unhelpful, and showed zero empathy. Customer service should involve at least a little understanding, especially when a young child is involved. Based on this experience, I would strongly advise others to avoid this location. This was a very disappointing and unnecessary experience.
