Bi-Rite, I love you in so many ways. Next to the farmer's market, they have the BEST produce. They even tell you what farm it came from. It costs more than the farmer's market but they truly have as many local producers and growers as possible. They have weird stuff too. Need a limequat? An aged persimmon? A yellow raspberry? They might have it, if it's in season. They have really good sandwiches and don't charge you more for gluten free bread. They toast the sandwiches! The people who work here are very diverse and really nice, many of them have worked here for years and really know their stuff. The store is cozy and well laid out. Parking can be a b!$:h, so plan accordingly. read more

Good market with well selected fruits and vegetables, filled with interesting packaged food options and has been an important part of the mission Neighborhood for a very long time. My major advice to you, however, is do not plan on getting sandwiches there. The wait time seems aggressively long, particularly on weekends when the mission is crowded. The sandwiches are well made, but are not prepared in any particular hurry. If you're going to Dolores Park, bring your food from elsewhere or only buy the packaged/prepared sandwiches. read more

Great little market. Been having some trouble lately looking for decaf coffee. Lots of the larger grocery stores have very little variety and zero high-end brands. I with the assistance of one of the staff found three choices. I ended up choosing Sight-glass "Hunky Dory". The shop had a great selection of fresh items and the staff is really friendly and helpful. Great market for those who live near by parking is hectic read more

I reached out and they stood by their Certified Delicious guarantee. Really appreciate their taking the time to chat and make it right!

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. read more

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. read more

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! read more

I'm as basic as it gets and a huge sucker for speciality markets. Bi rite is just that girl. The produce here is consistently amazing. The strawberries over the past few summers have been the SWEETEST ever. The ice cream selection of their creamery is another treat of its own. Can you find other cheaper places? For sure! But coming here for me is a special treat, a pick me up, and just a general pleasant part of my day. read more

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! read more

This place is filled with toxins!! Awful place. They even have yellow 5,red 40, and blue 1 in food. Everything has seed oils. There's no gluten free or vegan options. It's overpriced while being cheap toxic food. I went in and immediately left after I saw how toxic the food all was. It's all processed. Stay away if are into health. read more

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! read more

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 " read more

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: read more

Small market/deli. Got a blt sandwich which was loaded with bacon! They do not skimp. Also got some canned alcoholic beverages and chips and took it to the park a block away. It is quite small though and it can get very cramped. read more

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! read more

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! read more

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. read more

I always walk by this spot, but I finally had a chance to take a look and I think it just might be my new sandwich spot if I'm ever looking for a quick lunch at Dolores Park. I got the prosciutto sandwich (#14?), and bought a small pack of burrata to add to the sandwich. Best decision ever, a little pricey altogether, but so worth it. The burrata cheese added some subsistence and great texture. Anyway, the shop itself is amazing full of so many different choices you wouldn't typically get from a general small store in the Bay. Beyond your regular produce and large selection of meats, there's a variety of hard-to-get options (from cashew milk, to ready garlic noodles, tin fish, fresh flower bouquets and an expansive selection of cheeses). A bit higher priced than your typical market, but seems to be worth it given the selection and quality. read more

My Happy Place. Beautiful grocery store with friendly staff, clean well organized spaces, fresh flowers and unique items. You will fall in love with this neighborhood mark read more

I'm thrilled that Bi-Rite opened on Polk Street. No longer do I need to drive across town to get the freshest produce, the best meat, the best of everything just minutes away. I've been shopping here for twenty-five years. Ever since I discovered the original store on 18th, I've been a happy customer. I've come to know many of the amazing staff members and even Sam, the gracious owner. It's wonderful feeling that you matter as a shopper. They even added a brand, Smart Chicken to the store, because I requested it. It's the best tasting chicken and it's eco friendly too. So, if you're looking for the best quality food, it's here. Yes, it's more expensive. But what better way to spend your money than taking care of your health and enjoying, to the max, each meal you prepare? read more

the hawk sandwich was amazing! bi-rite already has such a nice vibe as a grocery store, but i'm glad i tried their sandwiches as well. the turkey + pickled onion + pickles + cheese combo was unexpectedly perfect! the service is also great. i would definitely come back for more sandwiches! read more

I was visiting town and my friend suggested i come to this market because it was his favorite. It is VERY small. They seem to have good quality produce and my friend suggested i get their cookies. read more

This review is really just for the Furikake Egg Salad. Listen, I love Bi-Rite. It's like a NorCal Erewhon without the sketchy supplements or smoothies (I wouldn't mind if they had the latter). But this seemingly new-ish Furikake Egg Salad is so freaking good. I've bought it 3x in the last two weeks and it becomes the star of "picnic dinners" that usually involve this with Nordic Crisps (a newer cracker find at Bi-Rite that's also bomb), the Bi-Rite avocado chicken salad, some bread, and maybe a tin of fish or some cold cuts / cheese. But, again, this is the star. I do spiff it up with a pretty heavy hand of extra MSG, but it's great even before that. I hope they keep this as one of their packaged "salad" options forever! read more

I ordered on DoorDash a turkey sandwich with chips and they gave me a few days old sandwich. I opened it and noticed everything was rotten and then I looked at the date and it said it was best by almost 5 days ago.. Bi rite needs to throw out their expired products on time. Not cool read more

THIS SANDWICH WAS SO GOOD! we got it from a grocery store near dolores, and we were not disappointed! the pickled onions and aioli were such nice additions to the typical sandwich, and the bread (i think it was ciabatta) was a good decision. if i wanted a nearby sandwich by dolores park, this is the one! read more

Cute, small, market near Dolores. They have cool finds, healthy options, their own brand, and a nice deli area. Cool desserts! Great place to stop at before a picnic. This Sandwich was delish! Have the option to toast sando's. The deli ppl were great, attentive! Just a bit pricey. read more

i love bi rite but i've been increasingly disappointed in the quality and false naming of many of the Asian pre packed and "inspired" foods. i was looking forward to trying the kimchee pasta salad and was quite disappointed to find there to be no significant presence of kimchee. this feels like appropriation and does not, in my mind, live up to their motto of "act with integrity" or "lead with love" of the culture these foods are from. please just change the names if you do not plan on actually using Asian ingredients. read more

It took this store 45 minutes to make two sandwiches while 6 people stood around and did nothing and another handed out samples. This is a ridiculous way to approach a business and sadly all too common here. read more

When waiting for some friends, we were walking around and found this market. It's small, but boasts a lot of fresh, local produce, unique items, and even a deli counter. It's on the pricier side, but everything looks like it's great quality. We were starving so we decided to try the quesadilla (freshly made everyday) for $9. They'll even heat it up and bring it outside to you after you pay. Maybe because we were so hungry, but it was so delicious and even full of vegetables. It definitely curbed our hunger until we were able to make it to lunch. We loved to shop here more if we lived in SF! read more

Bi-Rite Market - Quesadilla ($9) - Specialty Food Near Me - San Francisco, California

At Bi-Rite you can only buy right, am I right???? Terrible jokes aside, this grocery store makes you feel more elevated than eating out. Find artisanal cheese, Che Fico sauces, Cascatelli pasta (iykyk), beautiful flowers, and more ... if you have the budget ..... Highly recommend their sandwich counter, though the bread is like 70-80% of the sandwich volume. The tomato Mozzerella sandwich is fresh, hearty, and lasts the next day :) the tofu bahn mi is a MUST. The tofu has a zesty marinade that makes the sandwich so yum. The cauliflower one is also really fresh and savory, but I wanted more filling - the grilled onions are divine. 4/5 for the cauliflower, but everything else was a hit! read more

Bi-rite Market is one of my go-to places whenever I decide on an impromptu trip to Dolores Park. It's a small store-front with narrow aisles packed with every picnic-goer's dream: fresh fruits, cheese, juices, crackers, charcuterie meats, jams, olives, a deli which makes delicious sandwiches, and of course, pints of Bi-Rite ice cream. The first time I came to Bi-Rite Market was a mistake; I had been looking for Bi-Rite Cremery just a little further down the street for a scoop of ice cream, but I ended up with an entire pint without needing to wait in the long line outside Bi-Rite Creamery. I definitely recommend coming here if you're okay with having a whole pint without a cone instead (they have napkins and plastic utensils near the door - definitely grab some on the way out if you plan on eating the ice cream at Dolores). I highly recommend grabbing one of the pre-made or custom-to-order sandiwches from the deli (you can also order online ahead of time to avoid waiting in line when it's busy); they look small and unassuming but are packed full of ingredients and are always very flavorful and filling, and are the perfect handheld food for a windy day at Dolores Park. The only thing you can complain about here is that it can get a little cramped and hard to navigate when it's busy, and prices can be a little high. read more

Service is so slow and chaotic. 20-30 to wait for a sandwich. AND 4 people behind me got their sandwich before mine came out, AFTER I waited over 10 mins just up order. Also salad tastes wilted and cucumbers are slimey. Not work the $75 lunch cost read more

Once again, these folks came through! There is just about everything one could want here, and the prepared foods are excellent. This year, we treated ourselves to a nice big brisket, and wow, what deliciousness that was. So much tender, succulent meat, and the juices were divine. Another slammer out of the park! Absolutely excellent! Enjoy! read more

Terrible management. Wouldn't recommend buying from here unless you're ready to sell your house (that's how expensive it is!) The food is meh, and again extremely overpriced. And I know for a fact that Deli doesn't stay on top of the dates for on their premade food. If I was gonna pay a huge amount for just a small portion of food you'd think they'd have it freshly made. The store is way too small you can barely walk around. On top of that they treat their employees like robots.. I've witnessed multiple times several of them being extremely overworked by management as long as the customers are happy. They brand themselves as a family owned neighborhood market but really they rack up millions just like any other big company. Will never be supporting this store ever again. read more

Before chilln in Mission Dolores Park, we stopped by this market to pick up a few sammiches for the homies. The one thing I really like about this market is the variety of goods they have; and if it wasn't for me refusing to grab a basket, I would have walked out with *way* more than what I came in for. As for our Twin Peak sammiches, I thought they were tasty for their price point, freshness, and overall flavor. Unfortunately, I had an allergic reaction to one of the ingredients (still not sure which), so I cannot give a better description of it. Though my friends would come by and order it again, so they give two thumbs up. read more

Very cute and charming market. The food is of incredible quality, and you can find some true gems inside. It is also one of the few places around that had a deli that will actually sell you its individual meats to make your own sandwiches at home (any meat on the deli menu can be packaged and sold, and it's absolutely delicious). The interior can get a little cramped, especially during high traffic hours, and the price at the end of a grocery run can definitely rack up, so I usually only use the market for important, high quality ingredients when I can afford them. Definitely give their wine section a look at, they have recommendations for different events, similar to a bookshop which is incredibly charming! read more

Cute little grocery store in a busy block of town! My sis in law needed to grab a few things before my brother's bday celebration, so we dropped by quickly. I breezed through the narrow aisles like a kid in a candy shop. This place has everything you need squeezed into every corner of its space. Prices are steep, but what you'd expect for its location as well. We were in and out of here in 10 minutes with all the supplies we needed. We had previously ordered a cake and didn't realize it needed to be picked up at their location down the street - so we checked out and headed over there next! read more
