I am very pleased with my Sprouts experience. Over the phone, I asked to speak with the dairy…read moreperson, and the store manager named Adrien answered and was more than happy to help with my questions about several products. He recommended Kefir Raw Farm, White Mountain Bulgarian Yogurt, Mother-in-Law's Kimchi, and Happy Eggs. Adrien was patient with me and made sure I understood the differences between certain products. I am so glad that he recommended those, and this morning I enjoyed my very first Kefir, which I surprisingly liked. I really appreciate Adrien taking the time to introduce me to these nutritious foods! Hopefully, this review will encourage more people to shop at Sprouts for these quality items because I am very pleased with them and the service I received. Gertrude

This store carries some interesting vegetarian products, but the shopping experience can be…read morefrustrating. Many items are frequently out of stock - the dumplings are almost always unavailable when I visit. A lot of products don't have clear price labels or English descriptions. You often have to ask the owner for the price or where items are located. The store is also quite disorganized, which makes things hard to find. I also noticed that some products don't have expiration dates on package? The store could do much better.

Love Vegefarm -- my mom has been cooking with their products since I was a kid and I was so excited…read moreto find out that they had a store in SF. It's difficult finding good, Asian vegetarian products if you're in the city (unless you have a car and can go to 99 ranch or elsewhere in the Bay) so this place is a huge blessing. They have all kinds of Taiwanese-vegetarian goods and soy products, as well as dumplings and zhong zhi depending on the season! The inventory varies a lot, I think depending on what they can import, so if I see something I like I just grab it first in case it's not there the next time. The owner is super lovely -- not vegetarian herself but is trying to adopt a more vegetarian diet, so I really respect that she runs a store catered to just vegetarians! Really putting her money where her mouth is. Really happy and grateful for this business so I hope it continues to stay for the long term .

I don't live super nearby to this Co-Op grocery market but my good friend does and she brought me…read morehere while on a walk, and I was blown away by the whole place! Firstly, it was my first time shopping at a co op and I really really really love that aspect of it. Anytime I can support a business like this, I want to! But beyond that, I was skeptical that the prices would be outrageous and was fairly surprised that they really weren't! Ok sure, some items were pricey, and that's true for any small store in this city, but for the bulk items and dry goods, the pricing was incredibly reasonable! I even found the same scones I buy at my local box box grocery store for cheaper here!! What?! I was also just blown away by the variety of choices.. they've got everything here.. produce, condiments, dry goods, chips, snacks, bulk items, tea, medicines and supplements, and a section of boutique handmade goods that was so awesome to look through!! I don't live close by but I will be back anytime I go to see my friend (which is often).

OA has a plentiful bulk section with all the teas, grains, and beans you could ask for. A few hard-to-find favorites are: dried boba, soba noodles, THAI TEA(?!) and all the liquids.

Oceana Market is a great neighborhood grocery store with incredibly fresh food and a surprisingly…read moreimpressive selection. Their beer, wine, and liquor section is one of the best around, and the cheese department is fantastic- there's always someone knowledgeable working there who can make solid recommendations. The produce is consistently fresh and delicious, and the hot bar and deli offer a lot of great options. We often grab the chicken parm and reheat it at home- it's always a win. That said, the prices here are definitely on the higher side. Because of that, we try not to do full grocery hauls and stick to specific items we know are worth it. The store itself is well-organized, always stocked, and easy to navigate. Customer service is consistently good, and the overall shopping experience feels clean and well-managed. If you're looking for quality and don't mind paying a premium, Oceana Market delivers.

Happy to have this wonderful store on ocean avenue! Great addition to the busy area…read more I shop there about three times a week Sometimes I'll go to stonestown depending on where else I need to drive to. but , this location on ocean has everything I need and it's about eight blocks from my home.

I love when the sales are up just the yellow bright tags attract me first ! Yay sales! so happy to have them.

When we cut into the cake , we found a long strand of black hair embedded inside the cake--not just sitting on top, but actually inside. Completely unacceptable and honestly pretty gross.

Ordering in person requires you to take a number and wait to be or you can order online. Menu has 15 total sandwiches to choose from and a plus is they do half sandwiches. Also have build your own and daily specials. Lots of meats, cheeses, sides, and locally sourced produce to add to your meal.

Bi-Rite, I love you in so many ways…read more 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.

Good market with well selected fruits and vegetables, filled with interesting packaged food options…read moreand 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.

Located next to Burger King at 280 Metro Center in Colma, The Vitamin Shoppe has had a location…read morehere for years. Very easy to find a parking spot, too! Inside, the store is quite big and has pretty-much every single vitamin and supplement you could ever ask for. Sometimes this makes finding something a bit daunting from their massive selection. However, usually there's a staff member who will greet me quickly and ask me what I need. By now, however, I know exactly where I need to go so I usually beeline it in, get my things, and head up to the counter. The Vitamin Shoppe sets up your account via your phone number. During registration, you can also give them your email address (I do since I like to have my receipts emailed to me). The other thing is that they have BOGO store specials almost permanently, which is a good thing. ;-)
