Matcha Latte
Grace L.

I'm a big fan of Gus's! This location in the Haight doesn't have good parking, but it's convenient and accessible for me by Muni. I mainly come for the deli, which is eligible for SNAP/EBT (as well as the cafe). My go-to's are the 1906 (The Quake) and the Gus's Special on Dutch Crunch. I'm intrigued by their daily and seasonal specials, like the crab sandwich, but haven't actually tried any yet. I love that they have a sandwich stamp card with double stamps on Tuesday's and a free 9th sandwich. I wouldn't recommend the matcha latte from the cafe though. You'll sometimes find fruit and cheese samples throughout the tight aisles. For other things I've tried, their sushi rolls are better than most grocery stores, but I'd recommend the poke bowls over the sushi. Their mini dessert cakes are pretty and nice, especially the mango mousse. They carry Coconut Cult, La Fermiere yogurt, and many of my favorite ice creams (Uji Time at one point, Marianne's, Humphrey Slocombe, and McConnell's). I don't buy my regular produce here though because it's a bit pricier. Gus's is an SF staple!

Where did one of the greatest if not greatest guitarist to ever live lived in San Francisco? The late Jimi Hendrix lived what is today is on top of a pet grooming store called Grooming and More and nextdoor there is the former Haight Street Market also known as Gus's Market on Haight street. Back on a Summer of Love strolling through the Haight there is a place which has lots of natural foods and lots of goods and a good place to grab drinks if you are headed to the Buena Vista Park, Panhandle or Golden Gate Park. At Gus's Market shop for groceries and you can grab take out foods like sandwiches called the " Valencia " ( can't escape it) , Hippie Hill, and Banh Mi . You can also build your own sandwiches and even add salad like, chicken, egg, and tuna salad. You may also add sauces like with 1000 Island sauce and Basil Pesto. They also sell bottled sauces like Fish sauce and Ranch dressing ( if it's from a Farm is it still considered Ranch ?) You will also find the other sauce with a good selection of wines like the Pinot Noir. Come take a Summer of Love stroll on Haight which is very "sedating "starting from the cross street of Clayton passing by people on their board "skating " across the street there is a Buffalo Exchange where used clothes be "trading "while on the same block one of the best pizza in the USA at Tony Gemignani's Slice House pizza is being prepared and the cheese is "grating "while people inside who are looking for a table are still "waiting " Inside Gus's people examine the mangoes and berries some are looking at imported goods and are price "evaluating "because the tariffs on some import goods have the prices "inflating" but people be coming back because they find the Haight street shopping experience is "fascinating "and that's why this place on Yelp for years has over a 4 star "rating"

Such a cute deli, they have everything you need and the store is clearly super popular as it was completely packed inside! They had tons of sandwich options as well as a poke bar and sushi. They have both premade and made to order sandwiches, and lots of other ready made food options. My only qualm was that they got my sandwich order completely wrong. I did the build your own sandwich option and the woman taking my order definitely had a hard time with it. She only repeated back the meat to me after taking my order and said the wrong thing but I corrected her. When I got my sandwich I was missing 3 of the items I asked for (one of which I paid extra for) and the sandwich had mustard on it which I really do not like. Unfortunately I did not enjoy my sandwich and couldn't even get through half. They really layered on the mustard so even after I scraped off what I could, it was still very strong. It would definitely be better if they had a paper where you could select the boxes for what ingredients you want on your sandwich, that way there's far less room for error. My sandwich looked delicious, and if you like mustard, I'm sure you would've loved it.

Got a banh mi and it didn't taste like one at all. I could barely taste the pickled carrots and the mayo just looks like regular mayo which is not authentic. The sandwich is big and filling but it just taste like a ham sandwich with mayo. It came out fast and in a timely manner. I would recommend not getting this if you're looking to want a good banh mi. They have many other options!

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.

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!

It's sad to see what has happened to the store this year. I don't blame the store but homeless people now go into the store, help themselves to the food/salad bar, and simply walk out. I once saw a security guard point to the correct door in which to leave thru. if you want a pint of Ben & Jerry's ice cream, you have to ask a store employee. The corner of the store at 4th and Harrison St., used to actually have a great bar that served craft beer. You could order food and sit there and watch tv and talk to folks sitting nearby. The Whole Foods on Market Street at 8th had to close to similar conditions that this store is going through. I'd hate to see this SoMa store close but it seems to be getting that way. Soma Wally

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?
