Bi-rite Market - San Francisco

If I find myself filing for bankruptcy someday, it's a safe bet that Bi-Rite would be partially responsible. That's because I want to buy everything here, and that's because nearly everything is incredible here, both thoughtfully sourced and impeccably made, from fresh fruits and vegetables, to their meats, seafood, cheeses, and prepared dishes. Sandwiches are to die for, with my current favorites being the hot Roast Beef Sandwich and the Vegan Hippie Sandwich, but liableto change when the mood hits. The desserts, from their line-out-the-door famous ice cream to their sweet concoctions-in-a-jar, are also fabulous, with my runaway favorite being the strawberry marscapone pretzel dessert. You can?t go wrongwith the prepared food options either, from their delicious salads to their unerringly fantastic empanadas. The ONLY problem with Bi-Rite, as I alluded to in the beginning, is the wallet-burning price. Wowza it is expensive... but youabsolutely get your money's worth! My advice is to go elsewhere for the basics (e.g. eggs, tortillas, pasta), and come here for prepared foods or anything that needs high quality.

Really lovely market, their cheese selection is amazing and I love seeing where all the produce are from in local areas. The ice cream is honestly the best I?ve had and they have really interesting seasonal flavors that you wouldn?t expect. And the lines are way shorter here than the actual creamery!

Packed with good stuff and friendly staff, especially at the deli counter. Be on your toes when waiting in line to check out, or you'll get skipped.

Fabulous neighborhood market. Friendly staff great produce, meat, poultry seafood. A bit on the pricey side as to be expected

Bi-Rite offers unique diverse foods that you won't find in other markets. Superb quality and selection.
