bffs don't write lengthy reviews about one another, they fist bump. FIST BUMP, J&H. read more

This place is great if the tall guy is working. If Ron is working, check your change because he's ripped me off $$$ several times as recent as today where I had to demand my change back from a $20. read more

Mediocre stuff with nothing special. Feels like a pit stop type of place. There's more drinks than anything else in this store. The employee who was working there at the time was very passive and rude. Wouldn't recommend. read more

This is a convenient corner store! It has many grocery and household items, but the convenience comes at a cost. The prices are high! I noticed the cost of ice cream is especially high! It does have reasonably priced wine though. This store is incredibly useful though if you live in the area and you're in a bind --- like you ran out of toilet paper, an item you need while cooking, or you need some more drinks for your party. During the high Mega Millions lottery, I bought a lotto ticket here like everyone else. It was quick and easy! This is an incredibly useful store for necessities and a nice location for those in the neighborhood, but I only come here if I absolutely need something and can't go anywhere cheaper. read more

Do most of my grocery shopping here. Yes that's right I do grocery shopping at a liquor store. WHAT?! I love this place. Its right next to my house. The staff is so friendly and happy all the time. When I moved to the hood there was a guy there everyday who wore a cowboy hat (every day) and talked to me about raves. He always had techno or 92.7 on. Then one day he disappeared. And he hasn't been back? Where did he go? Everyone else is still awesome and don't judge me for buying peanut butter a few times a week. I love you J&H! read more

My friend and I came by after eating at Hot Sauce and Panko across the street. We went into J&H Grocery because we had some extra trash we needed to throw out and we wanted to buy snacks and drinks. Upon putting our trash in their trash can, the employee behind the counter yelled at us to tell us not to put our trash in his bin. We immediately took it out saying "sorry we didn't know," and the employee says "why don't you take your trash and throw it in the Chinese people's face," while pointing across the street to the beloved Asian fusion chicken restaurant, Hot Sauce and Panko. He repeated this several times while rushing us out of the door. My friend and I were shocked and confused by his racist remarks and extremely rude attitude towards us. We decided to go to Hyde & Pacific Liquors a block down the street and enjoyed the much more pleasant service and wider selection of food and drinks to enjoy. The other reviews of J & H echo the same pattern of rudeness towards customers. Do yourself a favor and skip this corner store on your next quest for snacks, drinks and other essentials and pay the much more friendly and non racially charged corner store a visit. read more

J & H Grocery - J&H Grocery on Jackson and Hyde - Grocery Near Me - San Francisco, California

Please do not shop here. Just like the other reviews the employees are very rude and lazy. They overcharge on everything and some of their items are expired. The Tobacco products are all damaged. I have lived in Nob Hill for years and really never had a good experience at this place and will not be back. Please walk to Nob Hill Liquors to make purchases. Do not shop here. read more

One of my favorite parts of my current apartment is it's proximity to J & H. Great neighborhood corner store that carries all of the necessities (and then some). Open late (especially by SF standards) & kind staff. A bit overpriced, but you're paying for the convenience. Also- be sure to check the expiration date on your food items... I've come across a couple of things that are expired, so it never hurts to double-check!! read more

If you've lived on Russian Hill for a long time, you'll remember Peter and Angela, who ran the store for years and years before the new guys remodeled and very much upgraded it. You'll also remember that Nook used to be this awesomely ghetto tiny video store with moody, angst-ridden employees. But I digress. Yes, Fallopian, this is technically Nob Hill, but everyone still considers this corner Russian Hill. Anyway, If you live within a block or two of here, this is your store. The owner and the young guys he hires are always super friendly. The young guys are usually new to the country and struggling to get by, but just stoked to be there nonetheless. Yes, the beer is marked up an additional $1 over the usual SF markup. However, this corner market is a neighborhood institution. Come in there more than once a week and they will know you by name. As mentioned, a good wine selection for a small corner market, and they always have a a few wines for well under $10 that are totally drinkable. read more

Best corner store in Russian Hill. Surprisingly wide variety of groceries, wine, beer, produce for its size. New owner and employees are incredibly nice and seeing them everyday (I live on the block) makes me feel safe and they are fun to chat with. They also order specific foods by request- HUGE bonus. You tell em what you want, and they'll have it the next week! They are my "go-to" for everything- eggs, milk, bread, wine... Love it! In response to fallopian tube - 1)Nob Hill or Russian Hill, whatever, call it a technicality. Those who live in the hood consider it Russian Hill. 2) Le Beau is a full blown market, not exactly in the "corner store", but as long as you're going to play that card, you should see my review - http://www.yelp.com/biz/le-beau-nob-hill-market-san-francisco#hrid:MKmfQQLett6_VbxoYMkySA read more

Hooray for the corner store! I lived across the street from this place for about two years, and I swear I was in there at least 3 or 4 times a week. The selection of stuff there was incredibly random, some grocery items, a decent amount of cheap wine, cold drinks, random frozen foods, chips, cheap phone cards, etc. Since I've moved to a more suburban area, I have come to realize just how awesome the corner store really is. I was constantly in there to pick up little things like a bottle of wine, or calamine lotion, or cornbread mix. Now I have to go to all the trouble of driving to get that stuff. What a waste. I knocked off one star because their ATM is right next to the magazine racks, and they only sell porn magazines. I'm sorry, but sometimes I'm not in the mood for all that flesh when all I want is to get my money from the machine, you know? read more

I am loving a liquor/convenience store right on my corner! Perfect when halfway through cooking I realize I am missing some essentials... like a beer in my hand! or entertaining and refreshments are running low! It has a surprisingly large selection for its outside appearance, plenty of wine, liquor and beer choices as well as a solid selection of groceries. On my last visit the guy behind the counter was chuckling away while watching some TV, nice friendly atmosphere. read more

The store owners are extremely rude and unprofessional. Walked into his store with the intention of shopping, but we were rudely screamed at when we tried a throw away some trash away in the store's trash bin. The owners shouted at us, telling us to get out of their store and throw the trash in the "Chinese guy's face" instead. We apologized and removed our trash from their bin, but the owner continued to rush us out and say racially-charged things towards us. We literally tried to throw our trash away and were verbally attacked by the owners. We left so confused. Not sure if the owners are racist or have something against Chinese people, but we won't be coming here again and neither should you. There's a corner store down the street that we went to instead, which had friendly owners unlike J&H. read more

I love this store. I am there a couple times a week. Some highlights: -The guy that runs the place is awesome. He owes me a winning lottery ticket though! -They have a great wine selection. Try the Malbecs from Mendoza, Argentina. -He even stocked a favorite beer of mine just because I told him I couldn't find it anywhere else. This is my go-to spot. read more

This is an "ok" store. I started going here a couple of months ago. At the time, I was happy that it was clean, had a good selection, long hours and good prices. However, after tonight? Nah, I will only there now if I'm desperate for something late at night and nothing else is open. The prices were good a few months ago, but now it's ridiculously expensive. It's MORE EXPENSIVE than L&W on Clay and Leavenworth! I thought they were too expensive, but whoa, this place takes the cake. They want $3.99 for a tiny Odwalla! 85 cents for one orange! Anyway, whatever. The owner only seems interested in watching TV. Overall, I will only go here if absolutely necessary. Otherwise, I will skip it from now on. read more

i loved this place before, but i like the layout even more now that it's under new ownership... it's my go to when: a) the friend that is staying over has forgotten their toothbrush, and i'm not up to sharing mine! b) i've just poured myself a bowl of lucky charms and realized i have no milk!! c) i'm about to watch a movie but am in need of microwaveable popcorn d) i'm making dinner and forgot to buy a bottle of wine (or any other spirits since they now carry lots!!) e) my drink recipe calls for fresh lime juice! f) i need to take some cash out of the atm before i head out g) it's hot and i can't make it through another minute without an it's it ice cream bar! and the list goes on... the guys that work in here are SUPER nice, SUPER friendly and SUPER big on flattering me...does it get any better? read more

Day in and out, month after month, these guys continue to dominate my outgoing cash flow. There's good reason for this: I'm lazy and I'm usually pretty broke. But what the hell, they're nice there, I mean, really nice. Forget the Hyde Street Raw Bar or Le Beau or anything within spitting distance on Polk, I'd just rather walk half a block downhill and return to my sedentary dwelling with my lovely, low-light companion. We collect dead animals and toe nail clippings in old jars full of spit. read more

This place does not close at 2am. Sucks because people waste time and have to drive all that way.

So just leaving the store - I live in the neighborhood and shop here on a somewhat frequent basis. Well tonight I was accused of stealing. I always look at the Cannes wine selection to see if they got anything new - if fact - there has been more wine in a can since I asked if they could get other kinds. I looked at a few new one for the prices and decided to get beer instead. I grabbed two other items and proceeded to the counter where the clerk looked at me up and down and said "didn't you grab something from the first cooler?" I said "no...I just got this and pointed to my items." He looked at me suspiciously and rang me up. I felt there was obvious tension. And said "I don't steal." Then his response was "let me look in your bag". Ha! I see this clerk every night when I walk by going to work. Maybe he didn't recognize me but I don't need to steal a can of shitty wine and then pay for two items that are a lot higher quality and more expensive than a CAN OF WINE. So I was highly offended and disappointed and said "I shop here all the time and spend money here - you really thought I stole something! I'm not shopping here anymore and I want my money back." He then told me "I don't know how to do refunds. You'll have to come back tomorrow during the day and get one." What the actual F*#k - first I get accused of stealing, have to show that I didn't steal something, then am told that an employee who's worked at the store for years was never trained in how to do a refund? I've worked in enough places to now that's like one of the first thing you learn how to do. I'm never shopping here ever again. To the man that works Friday nights - I will be calling tomorrow to inform the owner about what happened. read more
