These guys are really nice. They always are open late so whenever me and my brother need to get pregames, they're always open. Owner is a nice family man. read more

Natural Market - Convenience Stores Near Me - San Francisco, California

Very nice good customer service and good quality product wassim the best man in the job read more

See all

Semi-decent variety of semi-healthy products (I bought a packed prosciutto, packed grass-fed aged cheese, packed healthy guacamole, the kind of goods one can get at Trader Joe's), but the guy behind the counter has no sense or understanding of customer service: he got all angry at me, cursing the Arabic expletive زب (zb/zib), because I turned the counter's stand card reader towards me in order to tap my payment with my phone--mind you, the card reader rotates on its base so that customers may be able to use it. This man at the counter got easily angry at me simply because I wasn't cordial, then he flipped both of his middle fingers at me! But a dear longtime friend and co-worker of mine happens to live at the apartments above this establishment--she is a longtime customer of Natural Market, mind you--so she came down and asked him what happened. All he could state is that I was rude. That's it. Customer service is lacking at the Natural Market. The guy at the counter flips both of his middle fingers at me, just because I was not cordial to him, just because I turned the card reader in my direction. Unbelievable!! read more

Natural Market - a man making a peace sign - Convenience Stores Near Me - San Francisco, California

Yesterday, March 22 2020 in the midst of the Corvid-19 "lockdown" I was very grateful that Waseem kept his store open and stocked. I have been doing business with him since the date he opened That day I bought several items totalling $44.40. One of them was a jar of Laura Scudder smooth peanut butter. I took my purchases home and processed the peanut butter the way I do...with a hand mover and narrow spiral blade to mix the butter and the oil. The peanut butter was very hard and would not mix properly. It a actually broke the motor it was so hard. I then looked at the jar for an expiration date but could not find one. I went to the store and asked Waseem where the date was. He showed me a label on the back of the jar. I went home (just a block away) and checked the jar. It did not have back label. I took it to show Waseem. He immediately raised his voice and yelled "that did not come from my store!" I tried to talk/explain and he just yelled louder and louder. I know he has a video setup showing transactions and tried to ask him to check it out to see that jar had no back label. He just yelled and accused me of removing the back label. WHY would I remove the back label if it could prove the product was out of date? (I have often pointed out expired dates on Waseem's products and in the past he was always appreciative. So Waseem, look at your video dated March 23 2020 at 4:34:19 PM at the peanut butter aisle and at the register checkout. You should see the jar with no back label. I am also posting an image of my receipt. NOTICE it says CASH. I did not pay cash but used a charge card. If I wanted tot cheat you out of 5.49 for a jar of PB, what would stop me from telling my charge card company that I paid cash and getting the whole amount refunded? By posting this image and saying I paid by card I assume that prevents me from doing that. So Waseem, check your video. You should see the jar had no back label. Thanks. read more

Natural Market - Receipt March 22 - Convenience Stores Near Me - San Francisco, California

Having moved here from London, I feel like there is a total lack of stores like Natural Market, so I'm really glad it's there. They have pretty much everything you need for a weekend emergency to save you from HellFoods or Molle Stone's (toilet paper, salsa, beer, pasta, etc). read more

A corner store with everything you could possibly need. Beer, wine, liquor, milk, chips, cookies, candy, fresh fruit, soup, ice cream, pet food, string cheese - Natural Market has it. Prices are reasonable given its convenience, and the owner is very nice. read more

Natural Market - a hand holding a bottle of beer - Convenience Stores Near Me - San Francisco, California

See all

Best corner store in the city, don't know what I'd do without it. They have a robust selection of wine, beer and snacks. In addition they stock some good essentials like milk, cheese, bread and some fruit. One Fridays and Mondays they also offer a good selection of fresh flowers. On top of all of that the owner is incredibly friendly and good natured, so much so, that I choose to buy from them instead of major chains fairly often. I'd rather support a local business and the owner makes it an easy choice. read more

Simply the best corner store/market ever. And it's not just their stellar wine and beer selection, the wide-range of snacks, or the fresh produce- it's Wassim, his family, and his employees, who go above and beyond to just be great people. If I ever had to move out of the neighborhood, leaving behind the Natural Market would hands-down be the most difficult part for me. read more

sinews pulsating and muscles numb, i wipe the perspiration from my brow, descending webster street. my morning run often ends w/a cooldown-walk past natural market, and, amidst the bright, reflected sunshine off the storefront windows and general exhausted haze, i scan the interior for a figure... - - wassim is, quite possibly, the nicest and most genuine corner store owner you will ever meet. 'corner store owner' doesn't do him justice, and his establishment overshoots the classification of 'corner store' by 1,000 miles. there's such a variety of products to choose from!! natural market carries pet food, dried fruit, pasta (and i'm not talking about kraft mac and cheese), select fruits and veggies, milk, different kinds of nuts, wine... the list goes on. the thing that i'm most impressed w/is some of the gourmet-ish options that they have within categories like cooking oil and chips. ...usually, you don't get more than a selection of doritos, lays, and fritos at corner stores, but here, you can turn your nose up at those brands and purchase a fancy bag of herb and parmesan chips. also, the selection of wine is pretty decent too. there's more than just your run of the mill barefoot and red diamond wines. i've purchased a few bottles that i've never come across before, as well as a few that were pretty good for being priced under $11. this is a great place to grab a bottle of wine and some snacks and head over to alta plaza park to read a book or to watch the boats slowly slide by in the bay. ...all corner stores should follow wassim's lead! read more

Natural Market - a variety of food items on shelves - Convenience Stores Near Me - San Francisco, California

I usually just buy a bottle of wine on my way home but I made a huge mistake today. DONT BUY FOOD HERE. I bough an innocent frozen pizza and it is a block of mold. HOW DO FROZEN THINGS GET MOLDY!!!?? read more

Natural Market - Yep, that's a pure block of MOLD that cost me near $10 - Convenience Stores Near Me - San Francisco, California

This corner store used to be an empty space with bare shelves except for a few bottles of liquor. Why the owner didn't carry any merchandise is beyond me. Then he sold the store. The new owner has stocked the store with loads of quality merchandise like fresh fruit (maybe organic but not sure), fresh flowers, some good wines and even cowgirl creamery cheeses. I even ran into him one Saturday down at the farmer's market picking up fresh eggs. So locals to the area, if you're going to pay convenience store prices at Mollie Stone's anyway, how about checking this store to see if they have what you need and support the local guy? read more

What a great selection of food products for a little corner store. By food products I mostly mean ice-cream but they also carry a surprising variety of soups and dried fruit. Toiletries and home essentials are fair in price if you don't want to spend your entire paycheck 3 blocks down at Mollie Stones. I am not lying when I say that I once wanted to buy a cheap frying pan at Mollie Stones to cook dinner for my best friend. The same pan cost $ 15 at Target and $36 at MS . I am grateful for recession friendly shops like these. Also, the owner has a great personality and that is a big part of why my friend and I take the steep hike up California Street for a mint chip It's It sammy and a pack of smokes. read more

I just had to update and say Wassim makes the BEST, the STRONGEST, and most Delicious coffee every day...better than all the coffee shops in the area. And if that isn't enough, getting a cup of morning coffee at his place instead of Starbucks means you get to see his smiling face and start your day with the positiveness and sunny attitude he exudes. I love this guy. read more

Yes, I would second BernaDevious, in that the last business at this address (runned by a crazy little guy name Shawn) might have been a money laundering or what we suspected, a "Front", for a "delivery" business. ANYWAYS, Natural Market is a nice enough place. The couple that runs it is pretty friendly. They definitely cleaned the place up and added a larger variety of products. Prices are as to be expected, since businesses like these are essentially Costco resellers, with a couple of unique niche items. They have a great selection of Ben and Jerry's and Organic bananas. I stop in to grab a couple of things probably once a week. My favorite change the new owners added was an ATM. I hit that thing like clockwork. All things considered this is a solid convenience store for my hood. read more

I live a few blocks away and stopped by this corner store figuring they are a dime a dozen, so quick in and out, right? Boy was I wrong. I came in and realized the guy behind the counter actually lived in the neighborhood, and is one of the nicest convenience store guys that I've ever met! I only spent about 4 bucks, but he treated me like his best customer... simply put, I will be back to this spot next time I walk up Pine! read more

Greatest neighborhood corner store ever! I moved in the neighborhood last fall and usually stop in daily. They have a little bit of eveything. Ciao Bella icecream, B&J Icecream, organic produce, nice selection of wine, beer and liquor, fresh flowers, canned goods, good cheese selection, cereals, household items, etc...it's a little mini grocery. But the greatest reason to stop in is to chat with Wassim (the owner)! In the past year I have NEVER seen this man with anything less that a cheerful mood. It amazes me. He is the most positive person you will ever meet, not to mention a hard worker. read more

I go here everyday. People are nice, and they have a much better selection than most corner stores.

Wassim, his wife, and Mohammed are the nicest people. Once when I was sick Wassim brought groceries to my house. The flowers and fruit are always fresh. They carry just about anything you might need, including a great selection of wine and alcohol. If a customer needs anything special Wassim will happily order it for you. I just can't say enough good things about this wonderful corner grocery store. read more

I just want to say thank you to the nice man behind the counter who went out of his way to help me out today ...... nothing to do with buying stuff .... but he couldn't have been nicer. Thank you for getting a taxi for me read more

Seemed like a decent place except for the guy sitting behind the counter with his feet up playing on his phone. I wanted to purchase something which came to $1.25 but I apparently change for a $20 is out do the question. Get off your phone and walk to the bank man, will never come back here again. read more

This is what a corner store is supposed to be like; the store is clean, well stocked with items you need, the friendly owner remembers you and makes nice conversation, and you don't have to walk all the way to Whole Foods and pay $6 for an avocado. Ahhhh.....so nice. read more

I've lived a block and half from this market for the past three years and have seen it go through quite a transformation. Like other yelpers, I like to believe that the previous owner had to be using the business for shady undertakings (though his rather depressing story was that he lost all his money in the dot com burst and couldn't afford to restock the shelves). Since, Wassim has taken over and turned the store into a destination! All the fruit and veggies are from local farmer's markets, the flowers are fresh from the flower mart and his selection of Ben & Jerry's and other yummy ice creams is competitive with any supermarket (which I like to believe is somewhat attributable to my requests for variety). If there is anything you want, Wassim will order it for you. He is open to all suggestions and is the cheeriest guy ever! read more

This is the best corner store I've ever lived near! The owner (Wassim) is super friendly and always has something relevant to say to to me - he remembers little details of my life, like if my car was in the shop the last time I stopped in. I know that I can always find something yummy to eat/drink here, and even if it is a bit pricey you're paying for the convenience. And they're open all the time - much later than other corner stores! I love this place, one of the best parts of living in Pac Heights .... the other is the friendly folks at Peets on Sacramento and Fillmore. read more

Memories. I used to live right across the street and would pop in once and a while or wave to Waseem (Owner) while passing by . This guy is the coolest guy I have met to date in SF - though he is a bit of a Chatty Kathy. I need to make it back to buy some goods from him because this is a guy living the american dream with his family-run store. Go Waseem! read more

Wassim is awesome! He is like a neighbor to us, has funny stories every time we see him and even accepts packages for us! I think he works 16 hours a day to make this place open all the time...stop on in and say what's up! read more

Wassim's store has it all, not to mention he always remembers your name, and is willing to spark up a conversation any time. My wife Gena and I are probably there daily if not more - he's always wiling to help. We now live several blocks away, but still make the extra walk just to stop in. read more

This is best corner store ever! Wassim is so nice and goes out of his way to help out his neighbors. He is so kind and has anything you might need. The fruit is always fresh. read more

Don't let anyone charge you sales tax on uncooked food -- so don't buy food from Natural Market. Their selection isn't bad, but not being cheated is more important to me than conveniently-located snacks. read more

I often work up in the neighborhood, I'm always happy to come here. They're the sweetest and it's so nice to see the kids hanging out with their parents. It's very reasonable prices, always fresh fruit, flowers and staples for basic needs. This is a great place. At the last minute I'm a sucker for the plantain chips left of register! Super friendly and love them read more

I would say it is the best corner store in the city, but I am biased since it is about 30 feet from my front door. Regardless, the store has a little of everything; a great beer/wine selection, great snacks, and other stuff that I am too lazy to go to a grocery store for. The owner Wassim is a great guy, too! read more

Wassim is the GREATEST! He has changed this store and so changed the neighborhood and the community. The place used to be depressing... but when Wassim came in ... it is different he is so great! He introduces neighbors to each other, has great produce and it is lower priced than Mollie Stones! I can't say enough about this store and Wassim. I love giving him my business. read more

Waseem (The store owner) is the coolest guy ever!!! Yes, he does charge more than Safeway for certain things, but he's gotta pay the Pac Heights rent, can you clame him? Out of all of the corner store guys I've had in my life, both in San Francisco and New York, Waseem is the best! Now about the store, it's stocked with the typical corner store items. I've never gone in there an not found what I was looking for, and on occasion, he has things I didn't expect (like Brie). Thumbs up Waseem read more

Wassim and everyone that works there is so friendly! Waves when you walk by - greets you with a smile. Good wine selection and has all the essentials. Best corner store! read more

hey, this corner store guy has really spruced up this place and it has prices that seem competitive to what one might find at the huge corporate-markets. it just is a steep hill climb and no parking, so if you are doing your exercise routine some morning, check this place out. no crowds and he is bringing the light to the neighborhood. the owner/cashier guy seems to also have his share of fans in the neighborhood, which is generally a good sign. read more
