It costs more than the farmer's market but they truly have as many local producers and growers as possible. They have weird stuff too. Need a limequat? An aged persimmon? A yellow raspberry? They might have it, if it's in season. They have really good sandwiches and don't charge you more for gluten free bread. They toast the sandwiches! The people who work here are very diverse and really nice, many of them have worked here for years and really know their stuff. The store is cozy and well laid out. Parking can be a b!$:h, so plan accordingly.

My major advice to you, however, is do not plan on getting sandwiches there. The wait time seems aggressively long, particularly on weekends when the mission is crowded. The sandwiches are well made, but are not prepared in any particular hurry. If you're going to Dolores Park, bring your food from elsewhere or only buy the packaged/prepared sandwiches.

If you are short for time…read moreand only want to go to 1 store, this might not be the best option depending on what you are looking for but they do have the things you will need to make a tasty meal. Some things are definitely more than you'll pay elsewhere (most of the crackers for example). Pasta and canned goods prices were okay; in general maybe a bit higher than some places but not too much so. For vegetables, they do have some nice deals and stuff you may not find elsewhere (heirloom tomatoes, early girl tomatoes, variety of fruit and different vegetables). I felt like the tomatoes alone were worth the trip (grape tomatoes for cheaper than I saw anywhere else, beautiful heirloom tomatoes at a decent price, and early girl tomatoes which can be hard to find in the winter [I haven't had them yet but they looked fresh]). There aren't a ton of options for the meat counter but they are all quality items and the prices show. For example, the only chicken they had was Mary's chicken. The cheese selection was great especially for a small store and they had some nice meat, olive and peppers (homemade?) options for charcuterie boards. They also sell premade meals. Probably not the place you should buy everything you need but it's a good supplemental option and there were some gems. I guess they have a few locations so I would be back to this one if I'm in the area and would also check out one of the other stores if convenient too.

From Diamond Heights you can see Downtown Financial District San Francisco skyline and from Pacific Heights you can see the Marina and the Pacific Ocean and from Sutro Heights you can catch a glimpse of the Farallon Islands and from Bernal Heights you can see the view of the Mission District. One place in Bernal Heights where you can see and find good drink and food is at the Good Life Grocery on Cortland Avenue. The Good Life Grocery has two San Francisco locations. The first one is in Potrero Hill ( by Loard's Ice Cream) and the second location is in Bernal Heights. Inside the Good Life in Bernal Heights you will see organic produce , coffee , ice cream, and seafood. This place reminds of a Bi- Rite/ Whole Foods Market but with a Bernal Heights neighborhood vibe. They also sell food to go like sandwiches ,salads , sushi, and wraps. This is a good place to pick up anything from drinks and food and then go and enjoy the views at Bernal Heights Park of the Mission District and the Downtown San Francisco skyline. Good Life Grocery reminds me of the different city" Bi- Rites" they have a fine wine selection from local vineyards with reds and "whites"to pair well with some culinary "delights "the Good Life is open in the morning and closes at 8pm weekdays and weekend "nights " Then go to a park called "Bernal Heights" , and see the Mission District views and "sites " and on the other side of the park you can see the Bay Bridge and the Downtown "city lights" from a distance as you enjoy the Good Life's tasty drinks and "culinary bites"

It was a bit on the dry side but tasty as the sauce is tangy and flavorful. I liked that I merely covered the provided aluminum container with foil, baking it in my toaster oven. I also bought a plastic tub of Teresa's salsa (https://www.yelp.com/user_local_photos?userid=saJuyv784apZzH--psHZ3Q&select=X5p2lC9zT7SVczCrTKKD8A), a brand I've never seen (Santa Cruz) as well as a bottle of pasta sauce (https://www.yelp.com/user_local_photos?userid=saJuyv784apZzH--psHZ3Q&select=s6NOe6OuMYz0bk78rXr_lg). The salsa was okay but I liked that it was from a local business. I will try the pasta in the next couple of weeks. I have not visited Cortland Avenue for a number of years save an Elite event at United Dumplings during Covid. Coming on a Sunday morning, I saw a steady flow of people going in and out of this market with small bags.
