The "Richmond Market" is a corner convenience/ liquor store in the Outer Richmond District of the City of San Francisco. This store was in the news recently due to a tragic event. A clerk was beaten by a shoplifter, and he lost his life. I was driving by, and decided to stop and buy something. My first impression of the store was that it's well-stocked, organized, and lacked clutter. I asked the clerk if they had packaged sandwiches. He said no, but then came around the checkstand to show me what they had. He pointed out frozen sandwiches that needed microwaving. He was very polite and helpful. I think I spent $13 on chips and cookies. Observations: - Liquor, wine, beer, sodas and other drinks - basic groceries. - large selection of ice creams - lots of chips and snacks - cat food and litter Misc: - street parking only - cute black cat roaming the aisles - flowers from recent memorial still in front of store. Nice corner store, run by nice people. read more

See all

Richmond Market is a great corner store. It has an impressive selection of wine and groceries. The prices are very reasonable and the staff is friendly and helpful. It's a great spot for quick, convenient shopping. Highly recommend! read more

This place has the worst customer service, and I've gotten items stolen here. Pls be weary. There are better stores up in front on balboa.

Really enjoyed my experience here. Staff was helpful and the place was really stocked; I found some fun new chocolate to try. Not my thing but I saw a bitcoin machine which is kinda cool. Overall, it has what you need and is way faster than going to a bigger place like Safeway. read more

There's a 20% service charge added for all cards that they do not disclose to you. They also will not refund you if you ask to pay in cash afterwords. Shady business practice and terrible customer service. read more

I want to support my local Bodega.... here's why I will stop going here: The older Asian gentlemen that works the cashier is possibly the worst cashier you could possibly hire to run your store I don't understand the owners hands-off approach...... this cashier has refused to give me refunds multiple times during simple misunderstandings or for over charging me which has happened over 10+ times since living here. Whenever I get milk from here on a pinch it's spoiled even though the expiration is fine, I think they forget to refrigerate. Also, they charge an INSANE amount of up-charge for cheap items and never have clear pricing, so it's easy for them to up-charge or "mess up" pricing. read more

Richmond Market carries a lot of stuff: soft drinks, wines, microbrews, convenience foods. beers not priced, snapples pricey. buys: pepperwoodgrove, pinot noir (7.99) -looked similar to bewmo one i had a while ago, nope, body slightly spicy, this ones from chile. . notes: -most items pricer than comparable stores. -many items available price+. 3.5 stores read more

I've been going here on and off since I was a kid. We used to get our goodies here. 4-stars for stocking Kinder Surprise Chocolate Eggs (they are the equivalent of Cracker Jacks. Toy surprise in the candy). These are sorta hard to find in the Bay Area. I also love their ice cream section. read more

This is a very small liquor store + market, a convenience store. Came here in a rush because the pharmacy was too far of a run, and picked up Pepto and some other over-the-counter medication for a family member. The cashier was friendly and prompt. He offered me a bag which I declined. I noticed they had snacks, drinks and other random things for sale. read more

This place is totally rock solid. They're everything the other liquor stores aren't. They keep regular hours, they take credit cards, they're always well stocked. I swear, the beer selection is HUGE. If you can't find seasonal beer like Pyramid Snow Cap at Safeway, they've got it. I usually just make a bee-line for the beer, but I took a good look b'around yesterday and they've got like twenty kinds of cheese, all sorts of good snacks in jars and can. Oh, the candy selection is off the hook! Try the mini gummy frogs. Or sour octopusses. And I don't understand how it's possible, but if I go a certain way, it's a downhill sk8 almost all the way. So when Big 'Toine up the street is being a little too shady or is just plain out of everything, this is where I go to get my Brass Monkey. Remember those from highschool? I had one yesterday, they're still delicious. read more

Be careful when you buy packaged products and always check for expiration dates. I got food poisoning from their expired chocolate.

If you are in the area and on the go and need to bring something somewhere,well you should stop here and check it out.I mean,decent selection of goodies like chips,beer and other crap.I mean good crap,I do.I appreciate neighborhood corner stores because there is not really a long wait like other places on a busy night and they guy who has been here working has always been nice. Parking can be a little tough if you don't live in the neighborhood. read more

You have to know what to buy in this place. I don't buy anything perishable like dairy or deli foods. I don't know if they're any good, but I leave that stuff to the big markets. I buy chips, soda, ice cream, cookies, cereal, etc. Basically, all the food I shouldn't be eating. Anyway, it's good for a pinch. The guy who owns the place is soooo nice. He's great. I told him it was my birthday tomorrow and he gave me a chocolate and told me happy birthday! He is always very sympathetic to my studying and lack of free time. Some stuff in the store is cheaper there than in the regular market, you just got to compare the prices. But most stuff is more expensive than the local Safeway, but that's expected. I don't drink alcohol or anything, but I can see their alcohol selection is great. But what keeps me going back is the niceness of the staff, especially the owner. He remembers me, talks to me, and asks me how I'm doing. He's always very supportive and has something great to say. It's that kind of service you can't get anywhere else and to me, makes it all worth it. read more

This place is okay. I usually only go here to get canned tomales. Sometimes I don't wanna go because their canned goods have dust on it, makes me question whether or not anyone else buys their food. Also, I bought an onion here once and half of it was already rotten. read more

Not only are some items on shelves expired, but this guy is illegally charging fees for debit card use. I purchased a bottle of wine for $7.99. Sales tax in SF is 8.75%. The register correctly displayed $8.69. I handed him my debit card. I was then charged, without my knowledge, $9.14. Credit card surcharges are illegal in California: http://oag.ca.gov/consumers/general/credit_card_surcharges Minimum purchase amounts are not allowed on debit cards: http://www.knowyourcard.org/glance/glance_credit_cards#toc_3 When I went back and asked him how the register suddenly charged me $9.14, he lied to me that it was correct. When I asked him if he'd just charged me a fee for using my debit card, he said no. I dislike liars. 1748.1. (b) "Any retailer who willfully violates this section by imposing a surcharge on a cardholder who elects to use a credit card and who fails to pay that amount to the cardholder within 30 days of a written demand by the cardholder to the retailer by certified mail, shall be liable to the cardholder for three times the amount at which actual damages are assessed. The cardholder shall also be entitled to recover reasonable attorney's fees and costs incurred in the action." Source: California Civil Code section 1748.1 http://www.leginfo.ca.gov/cgi-bin/displaycode?section=civ&group=01001-02000&file=1747-1748.95 What annoys me more than being charged a different amount shown on the register, is that I HAD CASH in my pocket. read more

I went into this neighborhood market for milk and ice cream / no prices posted for anything! The person working there told me a quart of milk was $2.99 and a small ice cream was $6.99! I only bought the milk or so I thought. He couldn't print a receipt he said. I checked my account when I got home and he charged me $10.39 for the quart of milk! Rip off- calling credit card company in the morning to dispute the entire charge. This was done purposefully- read more

Awesome selection of beer and wine. 10 min rockstar parking out front. The store is clean and well stocked. Owner is friendly, helpful, and laid back. CA$H is prefered. Credit is accepted. read more

Nice enough guys, they don't bother to remember you if your a guy so don't forget your ID. The beer selection is ok, but they haven't had a deal besides Pilsner U $6 for 6 in the 6+ months I've lived here. Oh wait, they have Sierra Pale on sale for $8 a 6-pack sometimes... Sweet! They do have Kindereggs and some european candy bars (not cheap but good) so thats a plus. read more

These are my people!!!!! What else can be said about your neighborhood convenience store? After coming here for over 10 years, all I have are memories with Richmond Market. However, great service and variety has extended beyond reminiscence and here I am today giving Richmond Market the rating they deserve! read more

Awesome Store! Has easy Parking out front and everything you can think of inside. European Chocolate, HUGE Beer and Wine selections, groceries, and produce! They have an ATM machine, they take Credit, tons of candy and a huge ice cream selection. Whenever I am in the area i drive a few extra blocks because they have everything i need. Family owned place (support small businesses) and they are super friendly. On Halloween they give out candy to kids in costume, and even once a little girl was crying in front of me because she wanted chocolate and they gave her a free chocolate bar. This is the kind of place that makes SF unique and i love it! read more

Regarding the Surcharges--- I paid with my debit/credit card, from my checking acct, after learning about the CC fee, and he still complained about it. after seeing how pricey the items were i should have just left. read more

I just bought a $5 lottery ticket and paid with a $20, but the older man working (not the person who has been at the counter other times I have been there) only gave me 5 ones back in change and when I questioned about the missing $10 bill, he showed me an old cigar box with some $5's and $1's and one $10 bill and argued that I had only given him the $10 bill. I heard the cash register open, but wasn't paying attention because I never expect anyone to steal from me, but I assume that is where my $20 went. I recommend to all you yelpers to watch for your change, and beware the old cigar box!! read more

my best friend lives near here, so we often go here on cheeto and ben&jerry runs. the owner is AWESOME! he always has been incredibly friendly to us and remembers us, since we do come in quite often. i thought it was sweet that he actually asked me, "how have you been?" since i know he doesn't see me and my bff come in together as much cuz i moved to NY for the time being. he also has asked us twice if we're sisters and we always say, "no but we totally wish we were!" i took a star off only because they don't stock my cheddar jalapeno cheetos here all the time. for some reason, those damn cheetos are nowhere to be found in new york and i was really looking forward to them on my last trip home. but i guess they didn't have them that week at richmond market and i didn't want to go to safeway for them. sigh. 'till my next voyage home, my beloved cheetos. read more

I've always had an excellent experience with this market until today. I went in to purchase and all I brought $10 in dollar coins and $5 in cash because my bank was closed and I didn't want to pay the ATM fee. I wanted to purchase lottery tickets since the jackpot was at $300 million and you can't use a credit card to purchase the tickets. After 4 years of coming to this market to support local businesses that are being pushed out of our neighborhoods despite their higher prices and the longer walk to get there, I was shocked by the treatment I received from the older Asian gentleman working the counter. Not only did he refused to accept my dollar coins, which is legal tender, he grabbed my cash to pay for the other items I intended to use my card for. When I asked for my cash back so I could pay for the items with my card and purchase the tickets with the dollar bills, he told me it was already done he wouldn't refund my purchase. Keep in mind I never gave him my cash, it was on the counter and he took it without asking what I was going to use it for. He then proceeded to tell me that if I was so upset with the situation I should just go to Safeway! After arguing with him for some time trying to get my money back, he finally agreed to accept $4 in dollar coins to get me to leave. After supporting this store for so long and refusing the convenience of on demand delivery services and lower cost options closer to my home, his disrespect made me question why I would go out of my way to support this store, or any store for that matter, who treats their regular customers with such disrespect. Truly a disappointing experience and the only reason for my 1 star review. read more

I was in the neighbor visiting a relative. Passed by this store called Richmond Market, so I went in and wanted to purchase some Lottery. It's a store with dimmed lighting but seems to have a lot of things that can be purchased. Oh my gosh! Immediately, I noticed that the old man at the cash counter discriminates Asians. How do I know that? Well, he said hi to the Caucasian woman who was in front of me paying for her things. When it was my turn to make a purchase, I said hi and he said nothing and he rudely asked me to go over there to fill out the Lottery sheet. So I did, and he rudely said I didn't have to move the newspapers, I said I would move them back when I'm done writing the number for Lottery. Since he was rude/unfriendly and made me feel discriminated, I decided not to make any Lottery purchase there. I would tell my relatives and friends about not going there because I don't want them to encounter the same experience that I encounter. No one likes to shop or spend money at any stores that has rude owner/cashier, etc... Would you? read more

I live near Richmond Market so I go there quite often and i LOVE it. They have so much stuff: chips, chocolate, candy (some imported stuff, yum), soda, juice, liquor, wine, beer, cigarettes, and even cat and dog food. The staff is super cool and they always ask me how my day is going and are really helpful around the store. The place is cleaner than some other corner stores I've been to which I (obviously) think is important. Overall I really love this place and would recommend it to all!! :) read more
