I've been to Pier 39 so many times, and I honestly don't know why it took me this long to check out…read moreThe Spice & Tea Exchange! Definitely a must-visit, especially if you love cooking, spices, and tea! We picked up different varieties of salts and peppers, plus a tea refresher and a full-size bag of tea after trying their samples. The staff made the experience even better! Huge thanks to Mauricio, Blair, Dariana, and Dustin for being so nice, accommodating, and taking the time to explain the products before we bought anything. Seriously, if you're a foodie, home cook, or chef, don't skip this shop when visiting Pier 39! I'll definitely be back to explore more. IG: @imajaaay

We also got a pumpkin chai latte and that wasn't the best either. Not worth what we paid. Service: (6/10) I have mixed reviews about this. Our cashier was a 10/10. He was so kind, nice and cool. The woman who made our drinks was very stand-offish and not exactly what I consider customer service friendly. The man who manages the place swindled us and I didn't appreciate that. He really sold us a story that him and his gf are the owners and that they made everything in house and on their own. We later found out that these are franchises and their stand alone shops exist in many places. We thought we were supporting a family-owned business and we bought spices and drinks to help him and his gf out. He may have been a great salesman but not cool, dude. Not cool. Ambiance: (5/10) nothing special. It's cool that you can smell a lot of the spices and teas though. Really helps you decide on what to buy. Additional Notes: the spices are pricey. A 1oz bag is $8

Aloha Seafood Noah's ark aquarium…read more Sustainable seafood West coast East coast 5/5 stars let's go! I was able to order through the phone and spoke to Jermaine. Super cordial and friendly and delivers to you wherever. He was also early to the meet up location @ Daly City which is always a plus! The fish , Salmon I'll tell you was a lot more HEALTHIER and VALUE than at Whole Foods, Costco, Seafood markets on Mission ETC. Aloha seafood has it all. Oysters , shrimp, lobster, scallops, Crab, and fish. There's more to discover, Just ask for Jermaine . Not only is the seafood here healthier and fresher but also more cost effective. No portion control sizes and no portion control prices. Why pay the middle man? Yeeeee Come straight to the source and taste the difference.

You can place an order via email or phone and they deliver within a ~2 hour window and text you shortly before, and they're super friendly to work with.

The whole ambiance of the store is such a vibe - my husband and I love it. Even down to the music being played. It passes the vibe-check as the kids say. lol. I've been in for their soft serve & cannolis - both so yums! You can never go wrong with soft serve! You can choose from either a cone or cup & they have a bunch of toppings - even the olive oil & sea salt which I have heard AMAZING things about but I am a plain-girly so I opted for a plain soft serve on a cone. EDIT: GET THE OLIVE OIL & SEA SALT SOFT SERVE - ZOMG ZOMG ZOMG, it's LIFE CHANGING! I would never think the combo works but it freakin' works! lol. TRY IT, you won't regret it! If you go here & don't get a cannoli, did you actually go here? Just asking. Cannoli choices: Plain, Pistachio, Chocolate Chips & Rainbow Sprinkles. My go-to is Chocolate Chips, it never fails! A great thing about their cannolis is that they make 'em after you order! Fresh & hot off the presses! They also have coffee but I have never tried it BUT it gives me a reason to come back!

Hidden gem specialty grocery store in the Marina. Was surprised to discover they even sell pastries…read moresourced from popular local chains like Tartine and Craftsman and Wolves. Great opportunity to try their menu without the long lines at the original stores. There's a cute patio area outside where you can sit by the sidewalk like you're in a European cafe. Loved the cruffin (croissant muffin). Make sure to get it heated so it's extra soft. The layers are so fluffy, and the cream cheese filling is amazing. Breakfast sandwich was also incredible. It was so fresh. It had a nice kick from the barbecue sauce. Other items are hit or miss. The proscuitto sandwich was so dry and salty I wasn't able to finish it. Would skip that next time. But overall very impressed by the quality of the pastries and friendly ambiance.

As a local, I thought this was a tourist trap and I was WRONG. We ordered the combo plate with two…read morefish, four shrimp, and fries. It was more than enough to feed two women (almost too much). In addition, each piece was surprisingly FRESH and you can tell. If it was frozen prior, then you sure did a great job making it taste as if you just caught it from the ocean. The fish was falling apart and thick slices/fillets, the shrimp was bouncy and the fries were thicc. The batter was light and there were no air gaps and it was not greasy at all (someone is a pro at the oil temperature I see you) I've never been defeated by a plate of food before but I do dare say it was almost too much for me. Highly recommend (may take a while for your food to arrive but it is worth waiting).

I'm always game for a road trip for some good fish and chips. I found The Codmother by chance…read more scrolling through Yelp. A good friend of mine and decided to spend the $8.50 to cross the bridge and head into San Francisco for fish and chips. I ordered a two piece fish with fries and my buddy did the same. He thought two might be enough and almost bought a three piece. He is glad he didn't. The fish were good sized, had a nice crunch to the batter, tasty batter, tender, flakey and fresh. The fries were the best ever. Nice and crunchy on the outside, soft in the middle and you could taste the potato. Fresh fries fried perfectly. I didn't get around to writing a review after my first visit and I took another friend recently. The fish and chips were just as good the second time around. If you are in the City and want some excellent fish and chips you have to hit The Codmother.

The concept of this place is absolutely wonderful…read more One of my coworkers recommended this place which is a courtyard of cooperative small businesses operating together collaboratively and thriving in one of the most expensive cities. After I received this recommendation, my other coworkers and I went (the person who recommended was working remotely that day). We walked there and it was an easy 10 minute walk from mid - Market street. We were impressed with the variety of options that were available to us. The smells that hit you when you first come in are so amazing and intoxicating. When my coworkers and I were ready to eat, someone saw us come in as a group and had a table prepared for us. The atmosphere felt like a bizarre. So full of life and so energetic. You could be there to either enjoy the food, or collaborate with your colleagues. There are so many options, worth coming back and trying something different each time. Definitely check this place out!

I loved the selection here. From kale chips, to teas, to energy bars, to many types of chocolate,…read morethey have a great variety of both healthy options and flavorful options. Excited to try everything I purchased today

Excellent food and customer service. I have never been to any place where I have been treated so…read morewell with such a gracious owner. We came almost at closing time. We placed our order and waited for about 20 minutes. After our server delivered our food, Steven whi is the owner came out and greeted everyone. He came to our table and check up on us and chatted. I was eating a hamburger and was taking food from other. Steven noticed I didn't have any utensils and brought out a new plate setting for me. When we have left over, he brought out extra buns, lettuce and tomato for us to put the extra steak so we can make a sandwich later. What a kind and considerate man. We ordered the Tagiota Burger. It huge and perfectly seasoned. The patty is crispy outside with all kinds of toppings. It is one of the best burger I have. The beef empanada is filled with beef and very filling. The milanesa is the Argentina interpretation of country fried steak. It has cheese, ham, and tomatoes layered along with perfectly cooked French fries. Portion is generous. Food 5/5 Ambiance 4/5 Customer service 5/5 Value 5/5. Can't wait to come back to try everything else on the menu.

Good to see you again Tanguito…read more I had the skirt steak with fries, and those fries were seriously good. Thick-cut, crispy, flavorful, and easily some of the best fries I've had in San Francisco. I could have eaten a whole second order. The skirt steak came medium. They didn't ask for a temperature, and I normally eat my meat rare, so I was a little nervous. But it was still juicy, tender, and packed with flavor. Argentina knows its beef. And then there's the owner, who made the experience even better. He was genuinely kind, and we ended up having a great conversation about his garden, his house in Buenos Aires, and his country Argentina. That kind of personal connection is something you don't always get when you're grabbing lunch. Great food. Great prices. Very welcoming. They've been here since 2008, and yesterday happened to be their anniversary. Happy Anniversary, Tanguito! I'm coming back for the choripán next time. That one is already on my list. A little food truck, a little Argentina, and some seriously good fries.
