Nice market in the neighborhood. Partnering with its ice cream shop on the corner, they provide everything you need with a smile. You'll pay higher prices overall but still competitive enough.

Hippy sandwich
Stephen H.

One of the vegan offerings.Hippy sandwich, served hot. $13 Interesting preparation of sweet potato in very thin strands deep fried to crunchy texture. Micro greens and guacamole were great compliments. Chips, had to have some kettle chips. Sandwich took a little while even though there was no line. Nice lunch in Dolores Park and a beautiful Saturday afternoon.

Came to this market on a Saturday afternoon to grab sandwiches for a picnic at Mission Dolores. We ordered at the deli, and the sandwiches came out fairly quickly. I got the Lone Mountain, and it was so good! The sandwich was well balanced, and I loved that it was served on focaccia bread. Highly recommend, and I'll definitely be back to try the other sandwiches!

Love the Bi Rite market- it's a bougie upscale market with some really good ice cream! their felt though has really good sandwiches. solid 8-9/10 but I will say that they're a little small relative to the price. still soooo good though!

Lone mountain sandwich
Gab G.

Adorable bougie grocery store that has a full sandwich menu. It came recommended by friends and I was in the area for their ice cream place anyway. There was a short line even on the Thursday we visited, but I got my sandwich within 20 mins. Lone mountain was awesome - no notes!

Interesting .I see these on the daily and all the time everywhere in SF

Bi-Rite Market on 18th street in San Francisco Mission District has always been a place where you can shop for drinks. I got very familiar with the Bi-Rite Market because three days a week during my Mission High School days and still a few times a month as an adult. Also my childhood friends lived across the street on the block or around the block and also behind Bi-Rite roof which was a good hiding place when playing hide and go seek( read my Bi- Rite Russian Hill review) .So many different waves of new San Francisco residents moving or hanging out around this area and every few years there is a new wave of people trying to redefine what this area means and even giving it different nicknames( most of the names are cringy). It seems that some people claim to be knowledgeable about everything but do not acknowledge that there is a landmark of San Francisco across the street of Dolores Park called " Mission High School" since 1890. After all these years I understand the changes and I always put Bi-Rite as the best place to shop for groceries if you are nearby Dolores Park. Bi- Rite has the best selection of drinks , fruits , and even ice cream by the pint. You can almost grab anything from alcohol, food, and even flowers for the flower child's . What still exist every Summer are the flower child's at Dolores Park enjoying the sun and fog as Dolores Park has always been a fun place ( it was where I played in the sandbox and swings as a kid). Today I like opening a bottle of my favorite alcohol with a Bi- Rite sandwich and laying on the grass enjoying the views of San Francisco skyline. The progression of Dolores Park I do like today as before you would get ticketed for drinking in public at Dolores Park now it's the new normal to bust out a wine bottle of Pinot Noir or six pack of beer from Bi- Rite without being harassed. Get togethers and picnics and the convenience of just going to Bi-Rite makes you appreciate San Francisco even more. All my life Bi- Rite on 18th street in San Francisco has been consistent and available. Bi-Rite and Dolores Park make the perfect and authentic "pair" go across the street in front of Mission High School where the mascot is the "Bear "pull out a blanket or a lawn "chair" and pull out a bottle and let down your "hair "and enjoy Summer of Love and enjoy the good vibes because you can feel in the "air " Grab some chips, berries and a" pear" and a bottle of Pinot Noir for sharing but I don't "share" and I don't "care" because the vibe here is strong on the weekends which is hard to describe and so hard to "compare "it is sort of a mix of a park block party and an unofficial Dolores Park street "fair "

Telegraph and lone sandwich
Carmen L.

A cute little deli/market nearby Dolores park. I got the lone sandwich which is highly recommended by yelpers. If you want to get a sandwich here I would recommend that also. I got the telegraph too, but it didn't really hit the mark like the lone. It was pretty dry and in combination with the bread, which was hard- ish, it felt lacking compared to the lone. The service was okay. Nothing spectacular. Having this sandwich at Dolores definitely enhanced the flavor and vibes. So walk the 2 mins and eat it at the park c:

i love this market so much. they have amazing sandwiches and i tried their poke bowls for the first time. they have very fresh food and always finding a new item to try.

Sandwiches!!!
Brannon Y.

Great Sandwiches! Ordered the Lone Mountain, Bernal Heights, Sutra, and Caprese sandwiches. All of them were delicious! Bi-Rite is one of those places where you can't go wrong with what you order. At the time I ordered, the place was BUSY. All our sandwiches came out within about 15 min give or take though. Good enough for me, and worth the wait. The vibe was very hustle and bustle. People in and out. It's a grocery market, so no seating area. Perfect stop before heading to a nearby park! Would recommend and would go again!

Roast beef sandwich
Matty E.

Step 1: order the Lone Mountain sandwich. Step 2: take it with you and walk a block to Dolores Park. Step 3: enjoy a perfect afternoon in the sun eating a damn good sandwich! Seriously though, one of my favorite weekend activities is grabbing an incredible sandwich from the counter and enjoying it in the iconic Dolo Park. The mart is tight and usually packed on the weekends, so be prepared to wait for a bit -- but I promise it will be more than worth it. Order a sandwich at the deli counter, pay at the registers in the front, and then wait outside for them to bring your made-to-order sandwich out to you. Easy! The Lone Mountain is by far the best one on the menu -- literally wouldn't change a thing about the sandwich, from the soft focaccia to the tender chicken and the warm sauce, it is perfection. The Telegraph (their version of the roast beef) is a bit dry for my taste, but if you're not a saucy person then you might really enjoy it. The tuna sandwich was clearly high quality (I mean the tuna just melts in your mouth), but it didn't have a lot of flavor. This choice would be good if you're looking for something light and easy on the palate. Overall, be prepared for tight aisles, a decent wait, and the best sandwich in SF (as long as you order the LONE MOUNTAIN)! Go on, get the sandwich and enjoy that afternoon in Dolores. You deserve it!

I love Bi-Rite Market. It's a one-stop shop for some of my favorites, from Wise Sons bagels to high-end butter. The customer service is superb.

Lloyd C.

Great little local market serving the surrounding community. Service is friendly, helpful, and polite. They have a butcher area with fresh cuts of meats and seafood. They also have freshly cooked prepared food. Refrigerated items, freezer area with items. Good selection of fresh vegetables and fruits.

I absolutely love Trader Joe's no matter where I am in the United States, so I was beyond thrilled…read morewhen we got to our hotel in San Francisco and realized there was one just a block away! We were in San Francisco for about a week, and having a Trader Joe's so close was a total lifesaver. We could easily stop in and grab breakfast foods, snacks, and, of course, our favorite peanut butter cups. It saved us from having to spend a ton of money eating out for breakfast every morning, and we were able to stock up on snacks that lasted us for the entire trip. This Trader Joe's was definitely a different experience than the one we're used to back home in the St. Louis suburbs. Since it was right in the city, you actually had to take an escalator down to get into the store, which was kind of fun and unexpected. I also felt like there was surprisingly more room in the aisles than I expected for a city location. The checkout line was a completely different story! It wrapped around the store, which honestly gave me a little anxiety because I felt like I needed to hurry and get everything because the line looked like it was going to take forever. But they had a ton of checkers working, and the line actually moved incredibly fast. Before I knew it, we were checked out and on our way. It was just really nice to be somewhere familiar while experiencing a totally different version of Trader Joe's in another city. Having one so close to our hotel made our trip easier, more affordable, and a little more fun. And yes, we absolutely stocked up on those peanut butter cups!

We had recently visited Japan and were interested to see if we'd find some of our favorite products here and were happily surprised were there. They have a large selection of prepared foods, including some incredible looking sushi (I wish we had bought some). The cold drinks had a great selection of options with some hard to find flavors and brands. From the produce to meat, seafood, and shelf stable items, it was overwhelming how much this store had. I loved the wide variety of candies and snacks. We picked up some new-to-us and some familiar items while we were here. I also picked up some spices and ingredients that are harder to find. The pricing on everything was very fair, and considering that a lot of these items are imported and not always easy to source, I was so excited! The staff was also friendly and efficient, since there was a festival going on the store was very crowded, but the check out lines moved quickly.

In fact, you can snag some good deals on produce and cheese here if you're willing to try something new. Speaking of produce, it's always beautiful here. I don't think I've ever seen an unappetizing leaf, fruit, or vegetable. I discovered this place after parking in front of it for the nearby library branch on the same day I listened to KEXP for the first time. I was prepping for an upcoming weekend excursion, and while I usually buy my groceries in the South Bay, closer to where I'm headed, I decided to change things up and get (mostly) everything in one fell swoop. I believe I got a prepackaged side dish that was delicious. And some fruits and carrots for the road ahead and the weekend beyond. I've returned a couple of times, and the people who work here have always been kind and helpful. It's a busy little place. Spend even a few minutes here, and you'll hear neighborhood acquaintances having friendly conversations about whatever. I got some really good cheese the last time I was here, after returning a book to the library. Are you sensing a theme?

From Diamond Heights you can see Downtown Financial District San Francisco skyline and from Pacific Heights you can see the Marina and the Pacific Ocean and from Sutro Heights you can catch a glimpse of the Farallon Islands and from Bernal Heights you can see the view of the Mission District. One place in Bernal Heights where you can see and find good drink and food is at the Good Life Grocery on Cortland Avenue. The Good Life Grocery has two San Francisco locations. The first one is in Potrero Hill ( by Loard's Ice Cream) and the second location is in Bernal Heights. Inside the Good Life in Bernal Heights you will see organic produce , coffee , ice cream, and seafood. This place reminds of a Bi- Rite/ Whole Foods Market but with a Bernal Heights neighborhood vibe. They also sell food to go like sandwiches ,salads , sushi, and wraps. This is a good place to pick up anything from drinks and food and then go and enjoy the views at Bernal Heights Park of the Mission District and the Downtown San Francisco skyline.
