There is a store which has lots of different foods which are mostly Eastern European, Ukrainian and Russian. You will also find caviar to have caviar bumps. It's on Geary boulevard and it's called Europa Plus. On a Summer stroll back on Geary boulevard I saw Europa Plus sign outside with a star as a logo. Outside is a bookstore with many different titles of books including Stephen Kings ( who says there are no kings). Inside you will see aisles of Russian and Eastern European mixed with some US goods. They have lots jams to choose from like sour cherry with pits. They also carry roasted and salted sunflower seeds and flakey crackers like some in SF. This is a great place shop.

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.

It's good to see different cultures getting recognition in the mainstream of America. There is a place which has products you can enjoy eating and drinking from South Korea . They also have ingredients so you can make your own kimchi at home. This market has been in San Francisco for over a decade before H Mart made its presence in the city. It's on Geary street and it's called First Korean Market. On a Spring through Geary Boulevard in San Francisco I landed at First Korean Market. I use to come here to shop for groceries a decade ago. Today it has lots of products from South Korea and Japan. You can find fruit drinks from South Korea along with adult beverages such as different bottles of Soju. You will also find market made fishcake kimbap. There bags salted eggs salted skin from Singapore also cheesy ramen like some in SF. Overall one of my favorite places in the city to shop without the long lines. Come to the Korean Market which is called "First " when it comes to South Korean food they are well "versed "and come inside to hide from the "sunburst" in SF and grab a cold drink to clinch your" thirst " If you want to stay woke then bottles of Soju will keep you "awake "come to this First Korean Market on Geary Boulevard where they "make"their own kimbap with "fishcake"and flakey like some in SF vegetarian scallion "pancake"

If your ever in need of korean food and snacks in the Richmond, Sunset or Presidio districts and…read moreyou don't want to trek all the way to H-mart on the other side of the city, one of your best bets is this grab-and-go spot in the city proper. Tucked right on Geary and 10th is First Korean Market--it's tiny, compact, and low-key makes some of the best street food snacks in the Inner Richmond. Locals tip: Walk right past the grocery aisles and head straight to the plastic containers at the deli counter. This is a family-run operation, and their ready-to-eat section is elite. First, grab a roll of the Fish Cake Kimbap. It's rolled perfectly tight with sesame-flavored rice, egg, pickled radish, and savory fish cake--it's the ultimate hand-held snack. But the real showstopper is their Sweet Crispy Chicken Wings. This is traditional Dakgangjeong. It's a sticky, sweet glaze heavy on the honey, garlic, and ginger, coated over ultra-crunchy deep-fried wings. It's messy, it's garlicky, and it blows most restaurant appetizers out of the water. This is a lovely, family-run business with quick, friendly service. Keep in mind that street parking on Geary can be tight, but it's entirely worth the quick stop. Legitimate old-school Richmond spot.
