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. They have a large selection of prepared foods, including some incredible looking sushi (I wish we had bought some). 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! The staff was also friendly and efficient, since there was a festival going on the store was very crowded, but the check out lines moved quickly.

I love the convenience with easy parking, bus access and hey.. just plain walking over here to get whatever I need, as the selection is huge and the quality is high. The prices sometimes seem a bit more generally, but I love coming here for the Poke Bowls and loading up on dairy, fresh veggies and oh, there's a huge cheese counter halfway towards the back of the store. They have a full service deli counter with much higher quality than the big chain supermarkets. They have their own store brand items too, and always at least 3 cashiers ready to serve you when you finally check out. Picnic tables right outside to eat your lunch if you just gotta eat now! =)

Layout of the store was similar to the other Whole Foods I'm used to so it was easy to find everything I needed. Self check out was easy to use.

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

I was having a particularly difficult day. I have been betrayed by my old employers. They did not…read morepay me many months, they didn't keep good records (I had to reconstruct everything which took me a year). They took money from my retirement contributions. So far they are choosing not to solve the numerous issues and ignore my attempts to right the situation- it has been a year. I am having to move as a result though I welcome the change. I was going to have to do paperwork on the case during precious family time and dropped the box all the paperwork got disorganized when it fell. I took this as a sign to leave that alone for the weekend despite a deadline I had. I am leaving to a different side of the country far from my family. I was already distraught by the financial strain I was experiencing. I have my own healing business and care for many people so this has been hard to maintain my business from such a deficit of so many unpaid months of pay that I earned. It has created so many frustrations beyond this. I do have Grace in my life and have been born with many gifts that will provide for me. I went to The Good Life to buy flowers and items for my sister who had invited me to come for Thanksgiving. I was so low that I sat in my car out front and cried my eyes out. Kayren the owner noticed, came out and held my hand to supported me. I am an independent person and am in the business of helping people all over the world with both physical and emotional issues. I do not always experience support for me as a result of my own role. People in my life tend to count on me for support. She was so incredibly kind to me and asked if I'd like a coke for my drive. She went to get one. She then came back out with a beautiful bouquet too. She sad I must keep it for me and not give it away. I have always loved this health food store. I appreciate the warmness of the environment. I have shopped here for 25 years. Just want to let people know the kindness of the founder. I know everyone around here loves this place and a review is not necessary for their success. I am inspired by this much needed nurturing that I was the fortunate recipient of. I felt almost as if if I could no longer go on at that moment and I am incredibly strong. Let this be a reminder to all of us the power of spreading kindness!

Like many San Francisco neighborhood markets, it's overpriced, but relative to how overpriced…read moreeverything else seems to be in Potrero Hill, it doesn't feel *that* overpriced. 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?

She says "If you want.' I've never had to bag my groceries here so i say "i don't want to." Awkward silence and glares the rest of the transaction.
