Great cheese selection and helpful cheese dept. Cashiers generally seem to be rude. If you're part owner, then act like you care.

It's kinda pricey but everything is high quality
Christy CFebruary 15, 2013
Love this place . The only negative is the staff, some are rude.

What Whole Foods dreams it was.
AmberNovember 24, 2010
Glad there isn't more parking, otherwise navigating inside the store would be impossible! And they'd run out of delicious cheese samples.

Stocking inanimate inventory is apparently more important than assisting humans here. You pretty much have to help yourself. Bad customer service in the makeup department.

Best grocery store in SF hands down. You will find everything here fresh. Only problem- no meats!

For mimosa lovers, buy the Cristalino Cava for $7.99 and host brilliant brunch with friends. Salud!
