Really great selection of beer over here. Local stuff like Bare Bottle, Faction, Laughing Monk, Great Notion, and Alvarado Street just to name a few. Also have good variety of energy drinks here too. I bought a can of Rainbow Sherbert Gym Weed energy drink and was just enough to keep me energized but not too wired. Love the nice and quiet neighborhood this corner store is located in too. read more

How did the guy know that my package is not there when he not even ask my name!! So unwelcoming and not friendly. You can tell the worker are lazy here...UPS point access is sucks read more

Helpful service and all the niche items I struggle to find at lucky. Regular and Vegan ice cream , mylk options are plus a vast array of snack, wine , beer. Open generally 30 minutes past lucky. It was nice to have when it was Nimers and now it's a great upscale market with fresh bananas and lots of grocery items to choose from in the small NoPa spot. So thankful for the change of ownership to becoming this neighbor delight. If you haven't been yet, go hang out and pick up whatever food you are craving. read more

Nopa Corner Market - Signage outside - Grocery Near Me - San Francisco, California

See all

It's no longer "Nimer's Market": It's "NOPA Corner Market" that changed hands a year ago. It's been revamped, restocked and made tidy by a delightful new owner who's put a lot of sweat equity into her business. Prices seem reasonable; you might be paying a dollar more here and there but that's to be expected for a convenience store (because you're paying for the convenience!) What I immediately noticed when I walked in is the cleanliness of the store and the depth of its stock. The owner clearly has pride in her business, from its dust-free shelves to its new, snappy, striped awning. To my eyes, NCM carries an unusually large selection of scotch (seriously, a giant wall of it behind the register!) as well as an impressive selection of chilled wine and beer. I was too scattered to note whether NOPA Corner Market carries selected produce; I'll take a closer look next time. They're not open until 11am- but they close late at midnight (or 1am weekends). read more

This market is such an adorable community resource. They're superbly stocked with niche items - that you often can only find at bigger grocery stores in the city like Bi Rite or Rainbow. If you want coconut oil baked sweet potato chips, vegan chocolates, cold brewed tea, coconut milk ice-cream, almond flour, kombucha, cold-brew coffee, and much more - Nimer's Market is your spot. They're also your go-to spot if you want your standard candy, cookies, and chips. My husband is a regular here and it's easy to see why. It's evident that the owners are passionate about curating a community store that appeals to everyone. Trust. read more

Surprisingly good wine selection -- particularly for moderately-priced French and Italian wines. Also a very good ice cream and chocolate selection. So that covers the essential food groups. read more

What a gem! If bi-rite and a corner store had a baby this is it but with a way better natural wine selection - and I mean excellent. I joined a natural wine club because I couldn't find their wine at retail and here it is just a few blocks from me. Great selection of natural foods and other unique items - kewpie mayonnaise, specialty Japanese bbq sauce, duck rillettes, my favorite mezze dips, the list goes on. The woman who owns it is super nice. I will definitely be coming by regularly!! read more

NOPA Corner Market is the best neighborhood shop in all of San Francisco. High quality, unique, lots of indie brands, and reasonably priced. Corner markets often charge airport prices so I was surprised to see bananas for 50 cents and Olipop for $2.99, which is the same if you buy from Olipop directly. The cold drinks section is a sight to behold. Seriously. So many interesting and fun options, both alcoholic and non-alcoholic. I also love their friendly, helpful staff. It's hard to find all these things in one place these days. Please join me in frequenting NOPA Corner Market and keep them in the neighborhood! read more

Kind and understanding staff. I guess yelp is making me write more characters to submit this post. read more

The market is on the corner of my street. It also serves as a UPS access point, except it's quite challenging to find and get packages from them. Today, their staff, Chris, that I see there on most days, didn't release my package even with my ID because it didn't have my name on it (the UPS person added a label with their name Nopa Corner Market over the label with my name which they often do). Also, at some point out of nowhere the guy starts yelling it's not his problem the name is not on it and that he can't release it (not true, verified with UPS, they are required to release the package with a verification of a name on an ID, no address is needed, they should see my name when they scan the package). After I tell him I understand it's not his fault the name isn't on it and ask him if he can see my name when he scans the label, he doesn't answer and becomes aggressive and yells something unrelated. At that point his speech is not even directed at me and I realize this guy either has some serious personal issues, is not in his right mind, or he's on something. Feeling quite unsafe I leave the store and I still hear him yelling minutes later from afar. Even in the past this guy was never helpful when I asked where to find certain products, he always made it clear he didn't want to be there (unlike the other guy I also see there sometimes who is super chill and always helpful). So I certainly won't be buying anything from the store again (and will use a different access point to deliver to) which is too bad because it's so close to my house and I like their selection. I was a frequent shopper at this market but safety comes first and with this crazy guy at the store it's certainly not safe. Thankfully, there are many other options around. read more

Christine is awesome! Super nice store owner -friendly neighborhood vibe. I choose NOPA over lucky's for my quick buys.

Lovely neighborhood market - they're really friendly and warm. I enjoy visiting this place compared to walking up the street to Lucky's whenever I'm looking for a quick bite or snack. A great quality about the owners - they always make an effort to remember what I like. For example, I suggested a brand of granola and chips that I enjoy and they made an effort to take note on both occasions! read more

It's a Thursday night and you're completely sold out of mint gum of all kinds? No Peppermit? No Spearmint? Not even any wintermint? Boooo read more

Funky vibe, nice employees, great alcohol selection across whiskey, wine, and beer. Also, the best prices I've seen on many high end whiskeys. I'm moving from the neighborhood, and this is a place I'll miss. read more

My favorite local corner market! Friendly, helpful staff. Great variety of products - from natural/organic snacks, baking needs, beverages, alcohol, etc! read more

My favorite neighborhood market. They carry so many lactose free treats like Coolhaus ice cream sandwiches. Great liquor selection. Great staff. Covid sage. read more

Mike, the often mentioned owner in the other reviews, is great. He is open until 2 AM - which is perfect to grab some things as the bars close for your after party. Not only that, but since he is always there he looks out for the 'hood. My sis lives across the way and I truly believe he is looking out for her and her building-mates. Jordanian Mike (Nimer is Tiger in Arabic) has everything - yes all the alcohol needs, but also frozen foods, milk and snacks. Perfect for late night munchies as well! Yes, things there are overpriced but have you ever been to a corner liquor store in SF that wasn't? FYI - when you need a deck of cards at midnight for more drinking games -- Nimer's is open and ready to fulfill all your needs. read more

I'll admit that I talked a lot of trash about this place before ever stepping foot inside it. Now that I've been here, I'll continue talking trash, but trash-talking isn't inherently bad. This corner store makes me feel unsafe. Not because I'm afraid of the people working here or that the rickety shelves might give way and I might be crushed under a rain of rusty tomato-sauce cans. No, I'm afraid of this place because it seems like an easy place to rob. Now, that kind of adds to its attraction for me because when I was in college I used to go to a 7-Eleven that was really dangerous, and I was always scared but also loved the feeling of pulling out of the parking lot without having witnessed an armed robbery. But what really makes Nimer's so special is that it feels like it hasn't changed at all since 1976. That includes the owner's hair. If you're nearsighted, do yourself a favor and walk into Nimer's without your glasses on. The benefit of the blurry vision is that you won't see the 2009 brands and prices all over the shelves. Then, when you get to the cash register, put your glasses on. You'll love the owner and thank John S. for giving you a fun and interesting Western Addition project. It just won't be all that safe. read more

It's great to read about the beer selection. I'll be sure to check it out. I'm here to write about late-night candy cravings. The store owner likes to crack a joke whenever me and my bf stop by after dinnertime. I assure you that this corner store has Nerds, Skittles and Dots. I took one star off because one time the store only had Tropical Dots (yuck!). Also, does not carry mouse traps. read more

Tigers & Beer I like tigers and I like having an amazing variety of beer to choose from. Nimer's has both so I can't argue with that. read more

I love Mike, err Monim, err Mike. He gives our dogs treats, and is bound and determined to teach my hard headed chihuahua how to catch a treat in his mouth. Good luck with that! Nimer's satisfied our late night need for boxed mac n cheese. It's where we bought our first bottle of red wine when we moved in. sigh, Nimer's you're always there for us when we need you. read more

This store has been cleaning up its act lately, which I appreciate. I like that Mike's family is around and I think that is nice for the corner. As for the name, I asked Mike when he bought the store if he would change it to "Mike's Store" or something and he said he didn't want to because he didn't want it to have his name on it. Didn't want everyone to know he was actually the owner, not just a guy who worked there. I do like the Tiger! read more

Nimer's is fantastic. Plain and simple. I don't mind that they don't open until the mid-afternoon (usually around 3pm, sometimes a little later, sometimes a little earlier - it all depends), because I only go there at night if I need a snack or a drink. Everyone in the family is really nice and they will remember your face if you are a regular in there (like we are) and if you ever see them outside of the business, they will always say hi. All in all it's a nice place, and they have a vast selection of alcohol and wine for you booze hounds :) Their prices can be a little high, but it is a convenience store and it is in San Francisco. Also there is a $10 minimum if you are using a credit/debit card. For those of you non Wamu users there is an ATM outside, but I don't know their fee and sometimes I do see that it's not working, but it's always fixed within a day or so. I love you Nimer's! read more

As a traveling pet sitter and an SF local, i love having these neighborhood markets that are open late and conveniently located near my clients should i forget to bring something from home or even if i'm just craving a midnight snack. Today my husband and I decided we wanted some chips and walked a block down to find they had a lot more than just that. Not only was there a large selection of higher quality chips and snacks but they also carry natural items, Dave's killer bread, cupcakes, natural soda's, kombucha, and plenty of other items you wouldn't find in most liquor stores. Of course, prices will be slightly higher for convenience but not many places that would carry items for the health conscious snackers stay open as late. The women at the counter was very friendly and even offered a snack suggestion I wasn't aware of. I also told her about one of my favorite snack combos in HS which is Flamin' hot cheetos dipped in cream cheese. This is one of the nicer late night markets i have visited and its been around a long time. read more

Nopa Corner Market - Grocery Near Me - San Francisco, California

Love the player, hate the game. Mike does a fine job running this market, which, while often priced considerably higher than the Lucky's two blocks away, still feels more welcoming and essential to the neighborhood. read more

One evening at midnight, a little more than a year and a half ago: (Already having downed some 12 odd jello and misc. alcoholic shots, Kate V. staggers into Nimers, a roommate holding her up on either arm). Mike: Hello! How are the beautiful ladies tonight?" Me: MONIM!!!! IT'S MY 21ST BIRTHDAY!!!!!!! (proudly displays driver's license and waves it around) Mike: Really! A very happy birthday to you! Roommate: (whispers) Uhhh, you know just called him Monim. Me: THANKS MONIM! I'll have a handle of Jack. (stumbles a little) Mike: (handing me the bottle of whiskey and a tray of baklava) And help yourself to some candy. Me: REALLY?!?! Mike, you are awesome! (starts grabbing snickers, kit kats, peanut M&Ms...) Roommate holding other arm: (under her breath, squeezing arm) Kate! He meant take one! Not a whole bunch! Me: Ohhh.... (sadly) but it's my birthday. Roommate: I know, but... Me: (slurring) Oh ok, you're right, you're right, I'll put some back. Mike: Are you having a party at your house? Me: Yes! OW! (brings out money to pay and notices a red throbbing spot on the inside of her finger) What the fuck happened to my finger? Roommate: You burned yourself while you were smoking a cig. Me: (laughing) Oh yeah!!! Monim, I NEVER smoke! But it's my birthday! Thanks for the free candy!!!!! Mike: Alright. Have a WON-derful birthday and a LOVE-ly evening! Us: (as my roommates quickly usher me out) Thanks Mike!!!! Have a great night!!!! Props to Mike for dealing with stupid people like me every night. He's a trooper! AND props to him for: - Working nearly 12 hours every day, all by himself, except for one friend who sometimes takes over and his wife and kids when they visit from Jordan for holiday (or was it Georgia?). They're awesome too! - Always remembering that I'm from Hawaii, even though I've had my CA license for over a year now and can't remember whether he's from Georgia or Jordan. He always asks me when I'm visiting home! - Scoring a 99 on Nimer's health inspection... go Mike! ****PS, at some random house party, someone really did tell me that his name is actually Monim. After 2 years, along with the Jordan/Georgia thing I'm embarrassed that I still don't know the truth. Does anyone else know?? read more

Nimer's is one of my two corner stores. It seems everyone has an opinion on Nimer's country of origin (most seem to think he's Eastern Euro, and I thought so too) but I asked him about a year ago and he told me he's from Jordan. It didn't really compute but there you go. North African. Anyway. I, like Martin C., recently had a purchase totalling $6.66. It was a bottle of Tisdale Shiraz and a packet of peanuts. Good meal, by the way! So, Nimer totals it up and I look at him with furrowed brows. As I contemplate whether to get another bottle of wine or another packet of peanuts, Nimer says, "I'll make it $6.65 to save you the bad omen." And on we go. Great selection, great service. I like Nimer. One star missing because on multiple cheese craving runs over the past year they have consistently failed to have any cheese that is not expired. But to his credit, Nimer refuses to sell the old cheese to me at a discounted price every time, citing health codes. Cheese. Yum. read more

All in all a pretty good corner store. If you're a beer geek and you live in NOPA this should be a stop for you. Great selection of Stone brews among other great breweries. The guy that runs it seems pretty nice and I have yet to run into any of the aforementioned problems with out of state ID's (He cheerfully swiped my Texas drivers license through the card reader and that was that). The only reason I'm deducting a star here is because the last can of beer nuts I bought here was FIVE YEARS OLD. Stick to the beer selection and you'll do just fine here. read more

Yes, a "pleasant evening", indeed, is all I've had after going to Nimer's Market to pick up some of their tasty beverages. This convenience store has a great, great selection of beer and alcohols.. better than your average liquor store even. Of course, they stock all the usual convenience store stuff too (cereal, canned goods, candy, etc.), but between the beer selection and the amiable proprietor (with his always dry, yet amused verbal delivery), this place is tops. Chops is tops! read more

DO NOT SHOP HERE!!! These people Profile and harass customers. I walked in, about 30 minutes ago and was deciding wether or not i wanted to purchase something, and decided i didnt. About 10 minutes after coming in i had a handful of things ready to buy. The woman working was rude and after she rung me up she said to me 'what about the beer?' I said 'what beer' she proceeded to insist she had me on camera stealing the beer. So i calmly e pied my pockets and said 'look i think theres been a mis understanding i dont have anything other than what i put on the counter' she said 'well i cant search you bag' and i said 'yes you can actually.' So i literally emptied all my shit on the counter and she got upset and kicked me out because she didn't catch me stealing as she accused. This place is awful and i enjoyed shopping here until this. Never again. read more

This is generally where I go for late-night stuff, because it's open and it usually has what I need. And the prices are pretty good, for a corner store. Also, I like the owner and his family. One or more of them are always there, watching TV shows in a language I don't know, looking up to nod and say hi as I walk in. Sometimes the person ringing me up barely looks away from the TV to do so, but somehow it never feels unfriendly or rude -- just casual and comfortable. Near my apartment, open late, decent prices, friendly workers. They lose one star for me because they run out of certain things too regularly (GIVE ME MY COKE ZERO, I NEED MY 2AM COKE ZERO), and very occasionally there are ONLY younger people at the counter (late teens/early 20s-ish) and they come across kinda hostile. read more

Guys, guys... It's "have a lovely evening". I once asked him how to pronounce the store name (my friend/neighbour argued that it was nImers over neemers, I am right btw) and he went off on a diatribe about how his family name means tiger in arabic or something along those lines. I had been getting my drink on that night so it's a little hazy. There are some beers here they don't carry at Albie's and he hooks me up with a lighter every here and there (a lot of the time he will give me shit about buying cigarettes, either telling me "No you cannot have them" or "you are not over 18" but he's just playing). I'm talking a star off because I've been going here 2 years but we still aren't close buds yet. And the Drum tobacco is always either stale as hell or out of stock. read more

Since Christine and Bobby took over this neighborhood corner store it's become the best place to buy beer or wine in the neighborhood. They have an extensive collection of both and are super knowledgeable about what to recommend for any occasion. read more

Mike, the owner of the joint, who I think is the Jordanian David Crosby, always greets me with a warm welcome and sometimes lets me have some things on the house which is much appreciated. His family that's usually always there as well are also very friendly. Big selection of beer and liquor. I mean you can go to any corner bodega, right? It really doesn't matter but Mike is a cool dude and he has personality. ....the only pain point I have to mention is that he doesn't usually open till the late afternoon so if you need something in the morning or midday you have to trek to Lucky or another corner store. Not a big deal but if it's a Saturday at noon and you're super hung over and need something to cure your parched and dehydrated self then having to walk the extra block or two can be painful. read more

Ah, Nimer's. How I fondly remember when you were my corner store. The dusty milk, the skunked beer, the 9.99 bottle of vinegar I bought unknowingly, all of which Mike (the Jordanian counter-dude) most graciously replaced for me when I complained. What can I say? It's the nostalgia talking. Also--it's fucking hard to compete with an Albertson's a block and a half away. Have to give some credit for that. read more

I used to live across the street and would use Nimer's as a second home. I can say with conviction, Nimer and RC were good friends and I miss them dearly. I like to drive by to see if Nimer is working and will stop and say hello everytime. Best. store. ever. read more

The staff could not be more friendly and amazing. Finally a neighborhood market that's open late with heathy snack options and funnel things to try. I love NOPA Corner Market my Halo Top suppliers read more

Great new inventory & ownership. Great service and interesting personalities. A lot of healthy choices in beverages & food. Convenient hours. Fun to go in. read more

This is the best corner store in the city. Huge selection of wine with some very nice labels including brunello and barolo. If you want more economical stuff they have that too. Super friendly staff and oh, let us not forget, this is a corner store that carries dom p, I'll leave it at that. read more

The new owners are great. Excellent customer service and I can tell they will make this market an amazing spot. I'm looking forward to the neighborhood getting the market it deserves. They seemed genuinely concerned with keeping consistent hours and carrying the the products their customers want and need. If I could give it six stars I would. read more
