The anchor of all natural food stores in SF. Huge bulk section, awesome specials area, sale produce and dry goods, organic everything. NO MEAT! 20% off when you buy $100 of supplements.
They sell some of the owner's art and just enough of everything to make it worth forking over another dollar or two instead of making a trek to the Haight or the Mission.
Family owned, friendly, with world beat playing all day long. Lots of health and beauty options and a variety of natural energy drinks, too.
This is the SF outpost of a Berkeley stalwart. The brilliant staff really knows their food.
Maybe you don't need ten varieties of Fleur de sel caramels, but it doesn't hurt to have variety to you $2/piece chocolates. The focus is on indulgence and ambiance.
THE go-to afternoon soup and salad bar in town. Lots of vegetarian and vegan options. Broad variety of chips, frozen deserts, drinks, and chips to top off your lunch.
Soooo cute. Nice to walk about the Castro on a Sunday and get an organic apple, orange, or banana for your urban hike.
I cannot resist this market's attempt to pull away from their chain parents: lovely bakery, a raw foods SECTION, kombucha in the impulse purchase area near the resigisters.
Two stores in the same block. One is an semi-open fruit market with indulgences like fruit flavor licorice and italian cookies. The other has tons of packaged and international foods. Lovely!
