After a few searches, I found the San Francisco Wine Trading Company, preordered a few bottles, and headed right over. First of all, there was a wine tasting with dogs event in the back of the place so I already knew I was in the right place....had to mention that. After picking up my pre orders, I chatted with a few of the staff and convinced myself to grab a few other of their recommendations and I'm so glad I did! Now I have quite the collective of vermouth! Best of all, a bottle I have been hunting for a few years now, Partida Muz was available so I was super happy to get my hands on that. Great visit to San Francisco Wine Trading Company!

I walked in because I noticed so many fresh ingredients from the window. The shop has an old school vibe and kinda smells like cigarettes. It's very much a corner store type of place. I ordered a veggie sandwich and Gene absolutely LOADED it with cheese and THICK veggies. It had two different cheeses, lettuce, tomato, onion, cucumber, avocado and some sauces on warm toasty fresh bread. The sandwich is HUGE! Pictured is only half because I inhaled the first half before I could take a photo. Gene was a one man show today, juggling me and as the line grew longer I realized this place must be a gem I hadn't found until today. Lunch made quick, easy and absolutely delicious. I will definitely be back!

I LOVE THEMED BUSINESSES…read more This can be restaurants, cafe's, shops, and even liquor deli shops too. When I was looking on Yelp to check into the SF Zoo, I saw that George's Zoo Liquor Deli popped up too. Thank you based algorithm. I knew it was only going to get better after I saw the hand painted mural of the owner juggling all of his sandwiches. We were welcomed immediately and they had a playlist of reggae version pop cover songs which was really fun and set the seaside mood. I love the art that they have on the menu of the animals and the touches of personality throughout the shop (I DESPISE corpo minimalism aesthetics), such as the plushies, the photo of the owner, photo of Bill Clinton, and much more. They also have several of their own wines, surfboard wax, and coffee beans/grounded coffee for purchase. Decent selection of everything you can find in a liquor shop and they have a community wall as well. Sandwiches are crafted in house and heated for you and you can see all of the breads that they use there. I got a heated up corn dog (not bad!). We enjoyed our cold sandwich (we were going to take it to go enjoy before a concert at the Fillmore), which was the Zoo that came with ham, salami, turkey and our choice of cheese. All sandwiches come with mayo, mustard, lettuce, tomato, red onion, pickles and sprouts. I'm not the biggest fan of sprouts, but this was alright. Decently sized sandwich, not massive, but enough to share to tide you over. Definitely going to be a stop whenever we visit the SF Zoo.

Even though I had long been curious about Little Original Joe's, I had never felt super motivated…read moreto check it out given how underwhelmed I was by my visit to their location down in North Beach. However, after from my buddy about their $4 pizza slices of the day, I finally had all of the motivation I needed to come here. And now that I have (multiple times), I totally get why they almost always have a steady stream of folks stopping in! From almost the moment you step inside, it doesn't take long to see that this place has so much to offer, including a "market" stocked with heat-and-serve meals for your fridge/freezer, bread, pantry staples, even the famed Zanze's cheesecakes! Even still, the main thing that most people come into Little Original Joe's for is their menu, which is chock full of appealing options. In addition to the aforementioned slices of the day (lunch only), they've also got a terrific variety of pizza combinations, pastas, salads, entrees, sandwiches, cheesesteaks, wraps, and more. -- HAWAIIAN PUNCH - Rosemary Italian Ham, Pineapple, Red Onion, Pickled Jalapenos, and Chives Essentially a Hawaiian pizza, but so much better. The ham in this is so flavorful and the sweetness from the pineapples is perfect. However, what really takes this over the top are the pickled jalapenos, which add a bit of heat and tartness. -- GARDEN MARG & SWEET ITALIAN SAUSAGE - Mushrooms, Roasted Red Peppers, Roasted Cherry Tomatoes, Basil, and Black Olives Far more classic than their other varieties, but no less solid either. The veggies tasted really fresh and they certainly didn't skimp on them either. The chunks of sausage were tasty as well, but I wish the chunks had been a bit bigger. -- ITALIAN JOB - Sausage, Broccoli Rabe, Ricotta, and Chili Oil Of all of their pizzas that I've tried, this just might be my favorite. It's simpler and not quite as unique as some of the others, but I love how well the sausage and broccoli rabe complemented each other. I do wish there had been more of both, though. -- CALIFORNIA DREAMIN' - Smoked Gouda, BBQ Chicken, Pickled Jalapeno, Red Onion, and Cilantro I've never really seen a pizza combination like this, but, aside from the cilantro (yuck), it works! Between the chicken and the gouda, this had a nice bit of smokiness to it and tasted even cheesier. Delicious! -- HARRY THE GREEK - Tomato Sauce, Mozzarella, Rotisserie Chicken, Feta Baby Spinach, Grilled Artichoke, Pepperoncini, Kalamata Olives, and Sundried Tomatoes They all worked together relatively well, but, admittedly, this has a lot of different flavors going on. The pepperoncini, olives, and sundried tomatoes are all a little strong, but they're fairly classic and worked well with the artichokes and rotisserie chicken. -- CBR Wrap - Romaine, Rotisserie Chicken, Bacon, Cheddar Cheese, Tomatoes, Cucumbers, Green Onions, Chives, Housemade Croutons, and Ranch Dressing...$15 Pretty good, but part of me wishes I stuck with the Caesar Wrap that I originally planned to try. While I liked how this had so many different components that worked together, I think this might have been better with melted cheese and if it was warm (or not cold). -- FUSILLI PESTO with Rotisserie Chicken (+$5), Toasted Breadcrumbs, Parmesan, and Lemon...$23 The container made the portion look a little light, but this was actually heftier than I feared it would be. While the sauce was runnier/wetter than I would've preferred, but the taste of it was great, the pasta was perfectly al dente, and the rotisserie chicken was really moist. Another thing that I liked about all of the pizzas that I've tried here is how the crust is soft yet still has a bit of a crispiness to it. As far as service goes, the workers have always been really nice and do a good job of managing orders, even with so many customers and delivery folks coming and going. The one thing I would recommend, though, is to order ahead online, even if you're planning on just eating at one of the handful of tables they have outside. If you wait to order in person, you'll end up at the end of the very same queue, and your food will still come out in a to-go container, so you might as well get it in earlier and try to time your arrival to when your food will be ready. Considering how there are so many menu items that I've been wanting to try, part of me wanted to continue holding off on writing this until I get through more of them. At the same time, if I waited to try them all, this might not ever get done either! All in all, I can see why this place might be closer to a four for others, but for me, it wasn't hard to round up from FOUR AND A HALF STARS. Some of their dishes may not have been as good as they could be, but, if nothing else, they've only given me even more reason to keep coming back, especially so that I can finally try the likes of their Chicken Caesar Wrap, Chicken Parm, and Italian Panini!

Think of part cafe, part ice cream shop, and part corner liquor store. It is extremely clean, from the dining tables to the rest room. I was very comfortable sitting down here for a snack and a coffee. The baklava was excellent. Your coffee drinks can be made with espresso or Turkish style. We tried both. We have tried coffee at several other places within a mile of this place. I'm surprised that I haven't heard of this before. I will agree that this is the best coffee in the neighborhood.
