This review is for Tamara, one of the managers at Bi-Rite. I was VERY fortunate I ran into her. She was clearly interested in giving me the finest assistance with my challenging question. If that had been anywhere else, I would have likely just been dismissed or worse ignored. But with Tamara she arranged to solve my bacon challenge. No shortcuts for Tamara. It was clear that Tamara wants to treat everyone who walks in their door as if their question or problem is something she is dedicated to solving. Tamara is a gem, but likely those running the store know this. read more

Came by for some groceries the other night and it was a phenomenal experience. Bi-Rite is a high-end grocery store with numerous organic fruits and vegetables. They also carry some high-end and local artisan bread. Some staff wear disposable gloves and some even wear a name tag. Bi-Rite ice cream is also s-tier! Parking is mainly street parking and can be tricky during peak hours. Staff were cordial! read more

Amazing selection of goods. Although the store was small, I was not disappointed. They had just about everything one would need, and so many niche brands that are on the healthier side. read more

One of the best places from the list of small, local businesses, Bi-Rite Market of NoPa never disappoints. If you're in NoPa, I suggest you head to Bi-Rite for some freshest produce in order to stock up as a way to prepare ahead of time. As long as its interior atmosphere is packed with normal vibes, it's best to make an excellent shopping list the next time you visit. Last Sunday afternoon before heading home, I'm thinking about buying a cold cut sandwich before my dental cleaning on the next early afternoon. Davidson, made with chunks of lemongrass tofu cubes, jalapeño shreds, cilantro, and carrot strips in a banh mí sandwich surely hits the spot! Having plenty of greens and plant proteins was a good way to get so much fiber needed. Bi-Rite Market will always be a welcome mat for all walks of life. As long as we treat each other with kindness and respect, that puts our minds at ease. read more

This place is filled with toxins!! Awful place. They even have yellow 5,red 40, and blue 1 in food. Everything has seed oils. There's no gluten free or vegan options. It's overpriced while being cheap toxic food. I went in and immediately left after I saw how toxic the food all was. It's all processed. Stay away if are into health. read more

Super fresh Sandos. I got the telegraph sandwich and the roast beef was beautifully marbled and bread had that fresh crunch. Cheese was high quality and they don't skimp on the fried onions. Pair with a fun drink, they have so many juice, seltzer, and kombucha options. It's a pricy market for sure but you'll get what you pay for which are some unique and delicious food items. read more

Bi-Rite Market - Telegraph sandwich - Grocery Near Me - San Francisco, California

I love browsing this small but jam-packed market to try interesting, fancy, special, and local foods, and even better, they take EBT! Their selection of goods is quite impressive from breads from Rize Up (ube sourdough!) to a nice selection of chocolates (Deux Cranes' matcha chocolate with caramelized sesame!), but I wouldn't do my normal grocery shopping here because it's pricey. It's so cool that they collaborate with local businesses to create unique ice cream flavors. This location sells pints only, not scoops. I tried their limited edition sweet ume plum ice cream in collaboration with Rintaro, which tastes like a tart, original froyo. I couldn't taste any plum flavor, but it was deliciously smooth and creamy. I can't wait to try more of their collaboration pints. I also stumbled upon Petite LaFleur's salted dark chocolate honeycomb here, and it's absolutely delectable! read more

This grocery store is still here ..boutique..banana cream pie ...bi rite to go ..on divisadero

Bi-rite has good produce but it is also over priced. My issue is that i end-up with very often a scammy experience. I go to buy 4 lemon and a salad and they will charge me 25$. It is always due to a mistake, sorry i charge you 12$ a lb for the salad because i thought, it was little gem, sorry i thought the lemon were 5.99 a lb instead of 3.99$... It happens to me nearly every single time (And i don't go there very often), i suspect they over charge fresh produce on every single custumer... read more

I ordered a sandwich here today at the counter. The guy asked me my name, and then proceeded to write an obviously different name on the order slip. If I hadn't been paying attention to what he wrote, I would probably have been standing around waiting an extra 10 to 15 minutes wondering where my sandwich was. My name is Pedro, not Pablo. Like wtf dude that's crazy. I know he heard me correctly; I enunciated and the place was not that loud. And I'm not about to correct him because he's preparing my food. Ultimately, really rude and terrible service, and I will not be returning. read more

Shopping at Bi-rite has been mostly a pleasant experience. I have bought a few items at this location, and most of them have been relatively good. However, today, I bought a garlic noodle salmon meal from the prepared foods section. I brought this item home to put in my air fryer, and eat it for dinner. As I was enjoying this meal, I had noticed a small black item that appeared to be a small black hair. I looked at this object for minutes trying to decipher what it was. I also searched the rest of this product to see if there were more identical objects. Unfortunately, that was the only lone-wolf. I did not want to believe Bi-rite would have this happen. I understand mistakes happen, but this place is too expensive to have a foreign object in their prepared food item. Sigh. read more

Bi-Rite Market is a small grocery store that has almost anything you are looking for. They have fresh fruits to milk, ice cream, pasta, and flowers. The market does not have their ice cream to buy by scoops but you can get their ice cream that is already packaged in the frozen section. I got the chocolate pie the other day and it is very tasty! It is perfect for anyone who has a sweet tooth. It is not big in size but it is really dense so it is enough to share with at least 4-5 people. The cashiers are also very nice and friendly. read more

Parking is on the street. Store is tiny. I came for the sandwich and it did not disappoint. It was absolutely delicious. I got the lone mountain and the bread was perfect. The content was also super neatly packed. It was really good. Wish I didn't live so far or I'd be here all the time. Can't really comment too much on the grocery part but it's small... so things are limited and it's just crowded. read more

Now more transparency in locally-prepared food! At Bi-Rite Grocery, SF champion of everything local and delish. Soooo delish- eat there all day every day if I could. "You can now see our full housemade ingredient list here: https://biritemarket.com/products/. Thank you for supporting us!" -- Shilpa at Bi-Rite, responding to my previous review. Thanks Shilpa! Massive undertaking I'm sure. Here's why Bi-Rite stands out on the transparency front. Locally-prepared foods are not required to list all ingredients, I've learned. (Same with synthetic fragrances in many consumer products labeled as "eco" or "natural".) So, most stores rarely offer full lists. Bi-Rite: "We... push the boundaries of responsible sourcing. We inform our guests about the true cost of food and advocate a positive impact on our food system". https://biritemarket.com/about-us/mission-values/ Sustainability statements here https://biritemarket.com/community/sustainability/ and here https://biritemarket.com/about-us/mission-values/bi-rite-family-of-businesses-product-mission/ Awesome. Pursuing fair labor practices too. How about items on Bi-Rite shelves from other businesses? Many locally-prepared brands still lack full ingredient lists. Next, how to know which items are non-GMO? Glyphosate-free? Sourced in USA? Or from animals raised humanely? Just a few examples. Natural grocery stores and eateries say higher standards would mean higher prices their customers would not want to pay. Understandable, especially with more tariffs hitting far-flung supply chains. Another reason for U.S.- sourced ingredients. Yet I'm willing to pay more for transparent **and healthy** ingredients. Because nothing's more expensive than chronic disease. I reversed my own physical health conditions by changing my diet. Never going back! I'm far from alone. More of shoppers are sharing similar stories, of transforming our health. Often while shopping! And reducing our dietary exposures to microplastics, PFAS and other hormone-disrupting chemicals. Thanks to leaders like Bi-Rite for advancing food transparency, safety and security! read more

Surly Check- out Register woman was rude for no reason. Asked if we wanted a receipt, we said yes and then she just stared at us. We asked again and she said "oh, you WANTED a receipt?!?" Like we had asked to run her over. Then continued to stare at us again without providing. We said, I guess not and walked out. read more

Local gem that I haven't visited in a while. I dropped by bc I was in the area and I tried the salmon salad which was fire. Most salmon salads I have had tend to be dry but this one was perfection. Perfect amount of moist. The sweet potatoe and kale salad was phenomenal. I could eat that for days. Great consistency and flavors. I also tried the banana pecan bread which was alright. I little dry for my liking but my friend liked it. The honey marshmallow was also a delight. Overall this trip reminded how much I need to keep comin back to bi rite. Service is always so nice too read more

For anyone buying one of their pre-made sandwiches (turkey/cheese) I'd suggest you don't. I never have good luck with this one as the bread is like mush. Today 7/26/25 it happened again. I've mentioned it multiple times to various managers but it keeps happening. Priced at $11.00 this shouldn't be happening. read more

Love this supermarket. They sell acme bread which I buy and apple wood smoked bacon and blue cheese which I love.

The food here is really fresh and they have unique options I can't find in Whole Foods or other healthier stores (at least in Sacramento). Highly recommend. read more

Great selection of: 1. fresh produce 2. cheese 3. Salads (salad bar) 4. Sandwiches/ misc. prepared food 5. Oil Meh: 1. No protein powder or collagen powder sold here 2. Bath/cosmetic products (it's a sad, sad section) 3. Chocolate (go to the Rainbow grocery store instead- trust me) 4. Mark-ups (by far the most expensive grocery store) Overall: I get my groceries from the Rainbow grocery store, Trader Joe's and Whole Foods read more

I hate spending so much money here but the quality of everything is INCREDIBLE and the employees are the nicest around. This isn't somewhere you should probably go to buy ALL of your groceries, but it's the perfect stop for a few things here and there. They carry all of the local specialty brand items that are a bit harder to find at places like Safeway or Lucky. I usually don't buy produce here because it seems to be significantly more expensive than the city farmers' markets. As far as ready-made items go, almost everything is delicious! I get fresh sandwiches from the deli here all of the time. The ham and cheese baguette is always a winner! They have really nice salads and bottled drinks as well. They have a super tiny space with a lot of shelving and people packed in. Definitely stay away if you are claustrophobic. During the day it's manageable, but at night it gets to be too crowded and uncomfortable. read more

Always reluctant to shop here because of the snootie people they employ. You work in a grocery store I understand many might not like their jobs. If I'm coming in to drop 100$ on a few items I would expect a smile and a greeting. Most recently, Walter waited on me as I checked out and I just felt rushed and uncomfortable the whole time. He wasn't pleasant and just seemed mad at the world. I'd rather go to Gus's and shop if this is how coming here makes me feel. Love the array of different items they have to offer, but the vibe is off. read more

Friendly and personable service. Had the pleasure of meeting the manager. She was very helpful on New Year's Eve day

If you're looking for fresh produce and ingredients for your deli sandwich, come to Bi-rite market. Popped in here for their sandwiches and it was made with such fresh ingredients right after I ordered! I also didn't even mind the wait at all because during the wait we just browsed around the market. There's many things to look at and study--their meats and produce all look high quality and fresh. The sandwiches were also really good, they were put together well. The only reason I give it a 4/5 would be that it just felt like a sandwich I put together at home if that makes sense. The ingredients didn't mesh amazingly well together into a really delicious sandwich, it was JUST good. read more

Great selection of wines, food, and they also sell amazing flowers. I purchased a bouquet of dahlias and the cashier did a great job gift wrapping it for a friend of mine. He was very polite, patient, and took his time wrapping the bouquet with tissue and brown paper, as well as a flower wrap string which added a nice touch. Very pleased with the service and I didn't feel rushed by him. My only complaint is I wish I would have taken a better picture. read more

First time getting a sandwich here after work yesterday morning. The lone mountain was made fresh by the deli counter guy, I didn't realize it was going to be a hot sandwich. Sandwich maybe small, but it's packed full of nom. Will probably get it again today after work again. lol read more

Bi-Rite Market - Lone Mountain. Literally the best hot sandwich I've had in years. Worthy of the price tag. - Grocery Near Me - San Francisco, California

Not the same as in store pricing on Instacart! I ordered steak for which I was charged $25.99/lbs but when I received it, the label said $19.99/lbs. That is a significant difference and not what's advertised in their pricing policy. Instacart says the MERCHANT determines the price of the products. It's supposed to be the average price of their stores - they have 2 stores - the price was not $6 more a lbs at one store. Give me a break. DISHONEST BUSINESS PRACTICES. read more

bi-rite sells good product at a high price. As a neighbor I don't have much to chose from other than bi-rite and am thus forced to strongly suggest that management have a conversation about common courtesy with the customer. Many of the cashiers are rude. It's about a 50/50 chance that the cashier I interact with will be rude. read more

The most gorgeous market. The employees are super helpful and nice. The best produce, meat speciality items and a killer wine selection. This store is my happy place read more

Whole foods on crack. So many amazing and delicious looking to-go options, and unique fruits! I loved browsing the store, it made me feel like I was the main character. Just don't look at the price tags :) read more

This grocery store is so darn cute! Their strawberry vinegar is so delicious that I tried to alMost mimic of how it was made. I figured it be just pouring some vinegar in some ice cream lol haha JK I was tempted to do so though. Anyways I wish this market was in other cities!! Like Marin county can use something cute like this. But then you will be competing with Good Earth. I love picking up their fresh bouquet of flowers from time to time. When I used to work in the city I always stop by here at least once a week to grab some lunch/dinner. Staff are always so friendly especially the ones behind the deli counter. I do wish it was a bit bigger and have more items though. This place is more of a grab n go kind of place. Mainly sell a lot of specialty items wine, cheese, crackers etc, items you may need for a picnic. Also there's a great selection of chocolates. If you are looking for a mini gift chocolates/cookies that is nicely packaged and some of the items are from locals of SF. Definitely try their chicken/veggie quesadilla it's so delicious and they really stuff those tortillas with some goodies in them. To me it's worth spending on because of the quality it is made and how it taste. read more

Simple perfect ice cream. Did not try the mixings, the simple straightforward ice cream was sufficient. Did the classic salted caramel and black sesame. Both were perfect blend of creamy and smooth. Complex and decadent flavours. A lot of thought and effort went into this. These guys know their ice cream and nonchalantly delivers. 2 scoops = very reasonably priced. Will have to comeback to try others. read more

Pardon my French but holy f*ck. Stop what you're doing and go get the salted caramel ice cream from Bi-Rite immediately. Lactose intolerant? Suck it up honey we all are these days. Intended to walk to Alamo Square park to sit and eat it but ended up inhaling it during the half a block walk there. Seriously probably the best I've had. read more

I absolutely love this market! If you know, you know. If you're looking for all the cool kids, hipsters, and locals shop for quick meals, groceries etc. this is where they are! Located down the street from the historical Dolores Park, Bi-Rite is always a stop I make when I'm in the area. The market is incredibly small, and yet, it feels like a bazillion amount of people will pack themselves in the store just to shop. The fresh produce section features locally sourced fruits and veggies that are priced for that silicon valley worker. You'll find some really cool and unusual produce, so it's definitely worth checking out Artisanal bread's and cheeses are my why. The store actually has someone that works in the tiny cheese section, but she is so incredibly knowledgeable about all of the cheeses, it's insane. I always look forward to trying a new cheese, and back in the day, they used to offer samples. They Artisanal breads are amazing, and I personally go for the crunchy lemon flavored bread. It's truly delicious when it's warmed with butter. They carry a lot of packaged foods that they packaged themselves and make in there in House kitchen and deli. The deli and the fresh meat/seafood counter I have some of the best cuts of meat that I've seen. Again, it's worth it if you were silicon valley employee because the price points are definitely up there. So what do I love about this market? Everything! You literally can find anything and everything you need even in the small it feels like New York spaces. The employees are always friendly and willing to help you find whatever it is you may be looking for, or make suggestions for other items that you may be able to substitute or use. They are the truly a fresh food market. I have indulged and purchased fresh meat and was not disappointed. The checkout lines may seem long but they go fairly fast, and if you're in the area, it's definitely worth checking out. read more

This review is mainly for the Bi-Rite ice cream, which is one of my top Bay Area ice cream shops. I usually go to the Dolores Park location but friends and I found ourselves in the market after running the KP race and pigging out at 4505 BBQ. Of course, ice cream was a must. I love Bi-Rite ice cream because of the awesome flavor profiles, smooth creamy consistency, and is made with the best locally sourced ingredients. My top flavors are honey lavender, salted caramel, and ricanelas (snickerdoodle). However, I love the seasonal flavors as well, like the Meyer lemon and orange cardamom that I tried this time around. Each bite is packed with flavor and is everything that I would want in an ice cream experience. Whenever I am in SF, I try to make it to Bi-Rite for a scoop or 3 of my trifecta flavors. Wish Oakland had one! read more

1/3 of just delivered raspberries were DOA. Bi-Rite's prices are too high for that. And now you're starting your own delivery service...promoting the type of shopping where the customer is unable to weed out bad produce. Doesn't sound promising. read more

I have been running around San Francisco today for a spice for a recipe. Online it said it was stocked at Bi-Rite. A very helpful person saw me looking all over and tried to help me find it. He couldn't either and went to get reinforcements. Another employee found it but it was solely used in their deli. They all went above and beyond and sold me the spice from the deli. Everyone there is so friendly and helpful. They made my day read more
