    Fantastic sandwiches with great flavor and toasty they have lots of options. The employees are very nice, friendly and helpful. They have great liquor option as well.

    If you're in the Fisherman's Wharf area and are near Ghirardelli Square and need a quick lunch, Michaelis is the joint! The sandos here are awesome and you can customize them any way you like. This spot is a corner store with a deli set up, so order your Sando at the counter then head down a block to the Aquatic Park for lunch with a view! Service wise, it's friendly and efficient! Jay's the man!!!

    I ordered the Ferris Bueller. The sandwich overall was a 3.5. The flavors were on point but the bread (dutch crunch) was dry. I would try a different roll next time. The owner was very friendly. He talked to me almost the whole time my sandwich was being made. The location is right across the street from Ghirardelli Square on North Point. Small store with good options. They keep it clean!

    Asked for a BLTA (bacon, lettuce, tomato & avocado) and they forgot the LT of the BLTA... :( Really nice people there just was not great to get home & have 2/4 ingredients

    I needed a big jug of Gatorade before the group workout at the wharf. It was a smaller mini mart and it had sandwiches and some interesting wine. Here's to cornerstores in SF. An old tradition like the Barbary Coast.

    Sad.

    Nice staff but for 12 bucks put some meat on the damn sandwich. Weak. My high school cafeteria put more meat on a sandwich.

    This is my first time trying this sandwiches and Omg they are so good. The bread is soft and crunchy and the meats are fresh. Really delicious. Whenever I'm around the wharf I must get one now. They're not your basic corner store sandwiches.

    Best sandwich I've had in a very long time!

    Best sandwich I have had in a very long time. Found this gem while looking for somewhere to get something quick to eat and was not disappointed! All the sandwiches looked amazing.

In one incident over a year ago, another customer verbally harassed me and threatened physical harm while I was shopping. Her child was left unattended and was knocking items over, which I reported to security. The guard failed to do his job and did not intervene appropriately. When a supervisor arrived, the situation was handled much more professionally. I should feel safe shopping in my local market. That guard no longer works there, but the experience was upsetting and difficult to move past. Unfortunately, in January 2026, I encountered similar issues with a new security guard. He has repeatedly followed me around the store without cause. Most recently, he approached me unnecessarily, stood uncomfortably close, and spoke to me in an intrusive manner while I was selecting items. His behavior showed poor training and a lack of respect for personal boundaries. These repeated experiences with security staff are negatively affecting the atmosphere at Woodlands. I am a respectful, regular customer and do not want to feel uncomfortable or monitored without cause when shopping. Proper security training and professionalism are essential for customer safety and trust.

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.

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.

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. Great that this place has modernized substantially with the attractive counters for the take and go, deli, and meat sections.
