Walking through downtown San Francisco you can see the past glory of San Francisco and currently…read moreyou are facing the present day San Francisco which is still growing. Then you start to look at the future of San Francisco and you start to wonder and imagine how it looks like when it comes to food, people, and technology. The future isn't all technological when it comes to stores especially San Francisco corner store and markets. There is a place which you can see and experience flavor of the future. It's located on Sutter street and it's called Future Flavors Market. Walking downtown surrounded by buildings and alot of traffic I ran into something which would qualify as a corner market in most San Francisco neighborhoods but it wasn't located on a street corner. When you are in the middle of the FiDi in San Francisco and you are looking for something to grab to go with flavor to drink and eat there are few options available. I ran into place which is part grocery store slash smoke shop and jewelry store . I decided to check this place out. Inside you will see lots of chips which are savory and some real salty like some in SF like Samyang Buldak ramen instant noodles. You will also find some refrigerators full of cold drinks like Coke Zero Cherry soda. You will find lemon juice for those who are all about the sour. You will also find hair products like hair spray. This place is also a smoke shop selling things that make the air foggier. They also sell jewelry necklaces with some French famous fashion design initials emblems. This multidimensional store is the Future Flavors of San Francisco. When it comes to future businesses in San Francisco it has many different "characteristics" it is all about locations and city "logistics" and some technology promises aren't "realistic"but San Francisco is all about being a mix of classic and "futuristic" Predicting the future is uncertain like the weather in San Francisco which changes every week with different temperature "degrees" inside Future Flavors you will find chips flavored with "cheese" it's also a smoke shop for those who vape and those party people like this past Monday who smoke"trees" and for those who are sour heads there is Realemon 100% lemon juice for the tequila or food "lemon squeeze"

The guy working on the weekends (employee? owner? not sure) is nice and polite and always has a smile when we're there. We enjoy picking up unique beer and ciders from the wide assortment in the fridges in the second half, as well as finding interesting cheeses. It's also great for the one or two things you might need that evening or snacks for later. My only complaint is I wish I lived closer so I could go a bit more often!

This convenient little shop has an excellent wine selection and lots of upscale consumable options…read more Their wine pricing is also often less than the average prices listed on Vivino. It's a grocery store, but has a bit of a boutique and rich vibe. It's one of the few places to get Mary's Chicken in the area and I have to get chocolate every time I go in there. The ambiance seems very hygienic to me, so I feel drawn into the place when I walk by. The Nature Stop has nice stuff, but my review has to be in earnest... maybe 2 or 3 stars? It's annoying that through several iterations of ridiculousness, you have to expect encountering some unnecessary and incompetent problem during each transaction. Two different cashiers didn't seem to understand the concept of tare weight. They weighed the meat with the packaging and attempted to charge me for it, despite the fact that the weight of the meat was printed directly on the packaging. I've worked in a meat department before and I have never seen that kind of inept behavior. It's insulting to the customer. So at the present time, the 2021 Domaine Bousquet Malbec is $11.99 here. The cashier scanned it and it came up as zero. He joked that it was free, but then had the audacity to offer me the obviously more expensive reserve price of $16.99, like the reserve one right next to it, and laughed in my face. I passed as I knew that Trader Joe's has the exact same thing for $9.99. Tonight, the Elysian 'tiger beer', listed at $13.99, rang up at $17.99, the same as their space dust. I passed, but they should at least have offered to have honored the price they had printed out for customers to read. The Space Dust IPA at S&S Market, one block away, was $15.99, so I bought it there and got to pet their cat too. It's a bit of a first world problem, but I didn't notice until being at home that my $6.25 chocolate bar, which is more than I made hourly when younger, was comprised of the wrong variety. I grabbed the chocolate bar behind the front one, to avoid the most touched one. It is a berry chocolate bar instead of the ginger one, and it's great, but still, the employees should be better at recovery. I was one of about two people in the store and it was not busy. I recommend going to this place to get ideas. Double check all the prices and shop around, but they have great merchandise. My suggestion to the owner is to install a self-checkout. The guy stocking merchandise was very helpful tonight with my bags.

Walked out with a measly sandwich consisting mostly of bread, missing one of the major two ingredients. I was already a mile's drive away when I noticed the avocado wasn't in the sandwich. Decided to drive back because the sandwich was basically just a Dutch crunch roll without it. Guy gave me avocado on the side, but wasn't very kind about it and didn't offer any other compensation. One of the worse sandwiches I've had in the Bay Area and super expensive now. They didn't even give bag, napkins, etc. Oh and they don't have honey mustard. What sandwich shop doesn't have honey mustard? Take your business elsewhere.

Nick's Corner Store is literally a hole-in-the wall shop in the heart of North Beach (right in the…read moremiddle of a bunch of Italian restaurants and bars). If you're looking for late night booze, cigarettes, or potato chips to take home, then they've got you covered. That being said, this store ain't cheap. I came in recently to purchase a bottle of vodka for a nearby house party. The Svedka they sold me came out to be almost $20. Safeway sells the same bottle for $11. While I was there, a woman was purchasing a pack of smokes, and she was shocked to find out that the price was $12. I guess shopping in North Beach has its price. But still... that's a lot of money to pay for our vices. In any case, Nick's has been there for years. And I'm all about supporting local businesses. The Asian man who runs the place seems nice (he was hanging up Xmas decorations when I arrived). So if you're in the neighborhood and in desperate need of booze/smokes/snacks, this place will certainly meet your needs. But if you wanna save some dough, I'd recommend going somewhere else.

Le Beau Market: Where I Went Looking for Butter and Left With a New Favorite Market…read more I came to Le Beau Market, a fantastic little neighborhood market on the corner of Leavenworth and Clay Streets, and somehow ended up on a serious French butter mission. Yes, French butter tasting on a cheap Trader Joe's baguette. This is apparently my life now. And honestly, I highly recommend it. I found my favorite butter here: Isigny Ste Mère Beurre Doux AOP Extra Fin. Here's my highly scientific testing method: take a cheap Trader Joe's baguette, leave it at room temperature, put a generous amount of French butter on it, and taste. No oven. No fancy plating. No culinary gymnastics. Just bread + butter. And if the butter is good enough, that humble Trader Joe's baguette suddenly starts acting like it belongs in a little Parisian bakery. The Isigny Ste Mère is THAT good. I'm actually tasting different French butters this way to see which one can elevate the cheap bread the most. So far, Isigny is wearing the crown. And I have a strong opinion about this: butter this good should be unsalted. Let the butter shine! I don't want salt barging into the conversation and stealing the microphone. Give me beautiful unsalted butter on a baguette and let the dairy do the talking. Of course, put this butter on a beautiful artisan baguette or sourdough and things get even more serious. But surprisingly, the cheap Trader Joe's baguette is a pretty good battlefield for judging butter. If the butter can make THAT taste fantastic, you know you have something special. But Le Beau Market isn't just about butter. I also grabbed a Reuben sandwich with Dutch Crunch instead of rye, and it was very tasty. A satisfying sandwich from a market that feels genuinely local and unpretentious. The biggest compliment I can give Le Beau Market is that it gives me the same feeling I get from Mana Foods in Paia, Maui, another one of my favorite markets. It feels like being among friends. Amazing staff, fantastic neighborhood atmosphere, great food, and apparently excellent access to the kind of French butter that can make me stand in my kitchen conducting a serious tasting experiment with a $2 baguette. I came for groceries. I found my butter. I found a Reuben. And I think I found my new neighborhood market. I'll be coming often. I know it.

Back in the day, there used to be a giant Elvis portrait hanging way up high, thanks to the super…read morehigh ceiling. So, unless you looked up, you'd miss it completely. Being the huge Elvis fan I am, I appreciated this quiet tribute, & it was just another reason to love Le Beau. The other reasons to love them... Someone greets you when you walk in, will offer assistance if you're obviously seeking a specific item, & your cashier is ready with both a smile & a thank you on your way out. The deli. A sandwich from this deli is more than a sandwich, it's an art form. The sandwich menu (look up) has all the greatest hits. If their version doesn't include your favorite bread, don't be too shy to ask them to sub it out. You can customize your Sammy! If you want Dutch crunch, just ask for Dutch crunch! I'm partial to the Reuben. Old school & proper, on toasted rye, this is the best Reuben in the neighborhood. There's an assortment of potato chips to go with your sandwich that easily rivals any big chain store. Cape Cod? Miss Vickie's? Some Irish chips I'd never even heard of? (Delish btw) Somehow, even though they can't possibly have everything you need, they actually do. Missing an ingredient for that dinner you're about to make? Dollars to donuts it'll be here. Just ask my hubs, who has happily made the missing ingredient run for me too many times to count. Like an authentic NYC bodega. Only right here in San Francisco. Elvis has left the building, but they're still the best neighborhood market in Nob Hill. 5 stars
