They even had a lot of pistachio paste though I had just bought some from Greece and Italy so I didn't need any.

Upon a closer look and after speaking with the lady in the counter, I found out that these are gelatin flowers. They come in different colors and designs and are priced accordingly to its sizes. I both one of each size. They were so adorable that I can't get myself into eating them so I decided to keep them as long as I can by storing them in the fridge. While I feel amused of these beautiful gelatin flowers, I was completely dumbfounded to learn the story behind La Cocina. I found out that all the products sold here were made by low-income immigrant women business owners. As they make and share delicious food, La Cocina gives them the opportunity to grow and be economically self-sufficient. The back story was so touching that I felt compelled to spread the word out there to patronize this small shop at the Ferry Building. There are so many ways to help. You can go shopping at the location or online. Or hire them to provide catering on special events. Or simply make a donation.

You really cannot go wrong with any of the vendors and there is plenty of seating. I just wish they had a courtyard or something to complete the vibe. My favorite stand is Estrallita Snacks, really good pupusas, I love mixing and matching from all the stands though. They even have Creole food with a New Orleans focus.

This business replaced Duc Loi, a family-owned grocery store that was around for many years…read more The current business has a decent selection of produce, dry goods, dairy, frozen, and the like. They also have cleaning supplies for the kitchen and bathroom. As an interesting aside, I found frozen strawberries from Egypt and, I believe, Morocco in their frozen aisle. They also had fresh strawberries from Mexico, but I ended up buying the organic frozen strawberries from Oregon that they had. Best of all are the prices, the staff, the location, and that the lines at the cash registers are almost alway short or non-existent, at least when I go there in the mornings. All in all, this is a decent neighborhood grocery store. Happy to give them my business.

My husband got the fettuccine with Parmesan cream sauce that had a delicate, subtle flavor. My son enjoyed his bolognese but needed a little more portion size. We added a classica flatbread sandwich but my son found it too salty. This no frills place has little inside seating and many more tables outside. It's probably not the kind of place to take your time with your meal and relax. You order and the counter, find a table, and they bring out your food. There's always someone waiting for a table.
