Great store. Good groceries. Great snacks and variety of food. Staff is always nice. One of the few places open late in the neighborhood.

Just a really cool neighborhood market. A few reasons why: the hours are convenient (open until 10:00 pm I believe), the selection of drinks and snacks is good, they almost always have free treats for dogs (they are intentional about having the treats) and the owners are nice and in a way that matters (I showed up at 10:04 pm one night and they unset the alarm and opened the store back up so I could grab a few things). A nice addition to the neighborhood. read more

Please shop here with caution or not at all! I was accidentally overcharged and have been in a battle with the mart for months now! The staff promised me a refund of the nearly $100 over-charge for a beverage purchase with no avail so I made a claim with my bank. Now, I discover that the owner provided false documents to "prove" that I was charged "accurately". At this challenging time when so many of us are trying to be supportive of local merchants, I'm extremely disappointed by this dishonest maneuver. Protect yourself, especially if you're a nonprofit worker like me. read more

Not open during posted hours. Specifically today, February 8, 2023 at 9:45 AM. Store located in somewhat of a grocery desert, so I had to go without. read more

Inside Third Avenue Food is a man named Tony. I think he is the owner, and his name is prominently featured on the deli board. Tony's Deli. Tony puts together sandwiches when you or I aren't looking, and you can find them in the refrigerated case. Tony assured me they are made fresh everyday. Tony also, upon request, will make you something fresh. In my case, I wanted a turkey sandwich on wheat with no mayo. Tony was all too happy to oblige. A few minutes later and just $5 out of my wallet, I was in possession of one turkey sandwich that was practically overflowing with turkey. Plenty of veggies, a generous slathering of mustard, all wrapped to perfection. It was a strong, strong four star sandwich. Tony's confidence, that he believes he makes the best sandwiches in the city, and says so with a humble smile, earns him another star. Yelpers, seeing that I'm the first, come prove me wrong. And if I'm right with my rating, enjoy. read more

Great selection of essentials and drinks. People who work here are very friendly and welcoming. Love this place!

Great roast beef sandwich prepared the way i like it with only roast beef provolone cheese lettuce tomato and pickles yummy. would have been better on a roll but they were out. read more

Third Ave Food Mart - yummy roast beef - Convenience Stores Near Me - San Francisco, California

I've lived across the street from this market for about a year now. This store is a lifesaver when it comes to selection. The true definition of a convenience store. The owner, Tony, is the most personable and friendly store owner I have ever met. Me and my roommates have become good friends with him and he is always making sure we are well taken care of. Not only does he have most of what you could ask for when it comes to groceries, alcohol, etc. but the food selection is amazing including fresh chicken, tuna and various sandwiches, pre or freshly made. His sister helps him make food for the deli and it is delicious! Overall, this mart has the best prices of similar stores in the Inner Richmond and the most friendly employees by far. The tv is always on and Tony is always up for a friendly conversation about anything from San Francisco to sports to some occasional words of wisdom. I recommend this store to any friends who visit and anyone who knows the area! Wish you the best, Tony! read more

My man Tony has completely turned the store over. He has changed the floor, the shelving, the inventory. I mean anything you need if it's not in stock, it will be the next time you shop. Tony makes the best sandwiches in the city! He'll always give you a great deal in his store. read more

I recently went here for the first time to grab something quick. I went to use my credit card on my one item, which was under $10. I asked the owner if there was a credit card minimum and he said yes, that is was $10. This is fine. That is the law. I was prepared to leave as I never have cash on me. Then he said that he had run it through anyways. He then proceeded to tell me he was going to tac on a $.50 cent service fee. I told this man that there was no sign, first off, that there was a $10 minimum in place. I also said that it was illegal for a merchant to surcharge a consumer at any amount. He did not care and charged me anyways. He has since been reported to Visa for investigation. This is foul business practice and he is violating consumer rights. Shame on this business. Everyone should educate themselves on their rights and whats legal.

I've shopped in here on various occasions to pick up s soda or water or a snack for my stepmother, who lives a couple of blocks away. I was in this weekend to pick up a couple of sandwiches for lunch. Much to my surprise, the guy behind the counter told me that he could not make sandwiches since "Paul" was on vacation and he was the only one there...not sure why that mattered. He suggested that I get some of the pre-made sandwiches in the case and said they were fresh and made that morning. Well, OK since I was in a bind. When we unwrapped the sandwiches I knew they were not fresh. The bread was squashed down to about 1/8" thick and was pretty damn stale. And the meat in my sandwich had these dark colored marks on it that I was able to rub off. Ink? Dirt? Motor oil? Who knows. It ended up in the trash. Maybe the sandwiches made to order are better, but I'm not going there again. read more

I only know the name of one convenience store owner. Tony. Always happy to chat about sports, movies, gadgets, whatever. He's great and always happy to ensure that his customers are satisfied. PROs: + Great owner/staff. + They always have what you need, or something like it. + Amy's Organic Vegetarian Chili... SO good and not something I see in shops often. + I pop in nearly every day for an Arizona Iced Tea or something... don't know why that's under "PROs", but I love it. read more

This is the best corner store in the city! What makes it so amazing is the owner Tony! He is the best! The guy knows everyone in the neighborhood by name and has that real great feeling when you walk in. I find reasons to visit the store! read more

Average prices. Good selection. Great staff. As this is the closest store to my girlfriend's apartment, I come here a lot. I buy beer, ice cream, wine, chips, random groceries, lotto, etc etc. Tony, the owner, has always been very friendly to me. I am shocked that others claim to have had such bad experiences with him. Another employee that is there a lot, an Asian guy (I never got his name) is also a good guy. The prices are pretty average for a convenience store. You pay a bit more for the convenience of proximity and everything being in one small store. Totally worth it. You can find just about anything you want here, from the usual snack goods to pasta, cheeses, good microbrewery beers, various imported chocolates, etc etc. You can also order freshly made sandwiches, which I have not actually tried yet. I have been back time and time again, and will be back some more. read more

This wonderful little market is now under new management (as of...early 2017? I'm not exactly sure). They get 5 enthusiastic stars from me for all of the thoughtful improvements they've made to the place, including better lighting, new floors(?), and an extra walk-thru space between the main aisles. The place just seems brighter and cheerier. Oftentimes, they'll be playing jazz on the radio (in place of the TV) and the guys behind the counter are all super friendly and helpful. They also upgraded the grocery selections...and, in addition, they make a pretty darn good deli sandwich! It always hits the spot. Well done, you guys! read more

Third Avenue Food Mart is a truly splendid place. The owner, Tony, not only creates magnificent sandwiches, but also connects the community. Most of the neighbors are on a first name basis with Tony. I used to live close, but had to move. I still stop by when I get a chance. Great deals on alcohol, excellent atmosphere, and awesome food. I highly recommend this place to all! read more

This is my first review on yelp, but that's because I like this place and the new guys who work there so much that I decided to download the app and give them an awesome review. The place just changed owners and is now better than ever. They have a fair selection of products, but the best part are their deli sandwiches. They just opened up the deli counter too, so I'm sure the quality of the sandwiches will continue to improve as they get used to making them more often. The guys who work there, Elias as Vitaly, are super nice and always willing to help find anything you're looking for. Don't forget to ask for their hot sauce when you order a sandwich! read more

I really like this place -- I think it has new management/ownership. I always bring my dog and tie her up outside and she barks incessantly until I come back out. The clerks always think this is *charming* even though it's actually more annoying than anything. This widdle store has anything you'd need at the last minute, and the staff is super friendly. read more

Hey folks, if your looking to get some good deals, and you want a nice bottle of wine and some last minute snacks for the house, well you found your place. A great spot located in a great part of town. I have been to several deli's accross the map and by far Tony makes the most screamin Pastrami and Cheese Sandwhiches. I don't even live in the area, but I just stop by just to see my main man Tony Dubz........ Keep up the good work read more

This is a great place to get a sandwich. Tony piles on the meat and cheese to make a great sandwich for which you will come back again. Great prices on alcohol compared to other places. Service with a smile!! read more

I'm updating this review because I have to tell everyone what happened to me the other day. I was about to get in my car (which was parked near Third Avenue Food Mart) to drive my son to preschool. I get in the car, and the battery is dead. Tony, who is the manager of the shop, happens to see me, and offers to jump my car. He then leaves his shop, goes and gets his car, pulls up beside me, and jumps my car. This was a busy time of day, and I'm sure he risked losing a few customers for the 10 minutes he spent helping me. I know this isn't really a review of the shop (I've written another review, see above) but it speaks volumes for the owner's character. read more

Sandwich heaven, and a sweet neighborhood place, best owner ever. Just making it clear that it's not some molecular gastronomy chic place. Five stars otherwise. Best pastrami I ever had, it's a special cut apparently, it's not just peppered roast beef : ) read more

Tony is very passionate about what he does. He takes pride in his sandwich making, groceries, and overall store appearance. My company was working in the city and went here for lunch. Best deli sandwich ever. Fresh everything and you could tell that Tony loved making the sandwich. Next time we are working in the city we will go out of our way to come back here!!! read more

I stepped inside third avenue old mart for the first time the other day. I needed to pick up some beer on the way to the GG Bridge and this was the most convenient place to do it. It's actually a pretty good sized store with a lot of useful stuff. The beer selection was great and there was a ton of stuff already chilled. read more

Excellent overall appearance and organization! Tony was very polite, attentive and professional. I will eat here again and he was right he does make the best Dennis sandwich I've ever had. We'll be back soon! read more

Love, Love, Love the staff. I come here about 1x / day sometimes twice for various items including hummus, veggies, popsicles and most importantly pinot noir. Always have a good chat with the crew, very friendly. Happy to have them as my local. read more

Third Avenue Food Mart boldly sets the standard which other corner stores in San Francisco should strive to achieve. I used to live just a block away and would frequent Third Avenue Food Mart. Its owner, Tony, is a neighborhood icon. In fact I don't even call it Third Avenue Food Mart, I call it Tony's, because I associate the place more strongly with him and his persona than the fact that it is a corner store. He is a real man of the community and is always willing to lend a helping hand. Just stop by sometime and you are sure to see his smiling face. He is always chatting with customers, throwing in deals or free trinkets for large purchases, and he loves baseball. The store is well stocked with a variety of beers, wines, liquors, snacks, sodas, foodstuffs, etc. all for a reasonable corner store price. Tony also has a small deli within the corner store where he sells a fantastic sandwich at a bargain of a price. Occasionally, on a warm Sunday, Tony will bring a charcoal grill and sell hot dogs as well. If you life around here and are looking for a go-to corner store that is fantastic, friendly, and family-run you need to start stopping by Third Avenue Food Mart! read more

As many have said, Tony's the man. He's really put together a fantastic little corner store, but not just a store; Third Avenue Food Mart is rapidly becoming a staple of the Inner RIchmond community. Hell, Tony even puts together a Sunday afternoon barbeque on the corner when the weather permits! Support your local businesses and shop here. read more

Elias is wonderful and so is the food! If you are in San Francisco you must stop buy and try the roast beef it is wonderful

Elias and Vitali are the new managers of this store and they have done a remarkable job of cleaning it up and restocking it. They are incredibly hard workers and always have big smiles for all of their customers. They are in the process stocking a deli section...today I had a turkey sandwich with everything on it and it was fantastic. Please stop by if you are in the neighborhood. read more

I can't recommend this place highly enough. It's a convenient place to get any food or drinks you need, and Tony makes the most amazing deli sandwiches I've ever had. And if that all wasn't enough, Tony is one of the nicest people I know. He really makes his store feel like its an integral part of the community. Do yourself a favor, come here, get a sandwich and introduce yourself to Tony. You won't regret it. read more

BEST place for sandwiches they are huge!! everything is fresh , great prices on everything. I consider this store my "mini safeway" except better prices and bomb ass sandwiches, not to mention the owner is great and will always try and make his customers leave happy. read more
