Although Karl the Fog was the unwelcome guest at this year's 4th of July fireworks there is always a bottle of Merry Edward's and Pinot Noir for Don Juan Pinot Noir. There is a place where you can pick up cheese and Chardonnay all four seasons . You can also find Zinfandel , Malbec, and Pinot Noir for Don Juan Pinot Noir. You can also get some and grab sour lemons like some in SF. It's located on the corner of 25th Avenue & Clement and it's called 25th & Clement Produce Market. On a 250 year birthday of America and the city of San Francisco stroll with little sun and foggy day I landed at 25th & Clement at 25th &Clement Produce Market( not Market street in SF). You will find all types groceries inside vegetables like corn,lettuce, onions, and mushrooms. You can also find fruits like oranges.

25th and Clement Produce is the corner store every neighborhood wishes it had. It's easily the most…read moreorganized, cleanest, and most thoughtfully stocked market I've ever been in. Every piece of produce is clearly inspected and arranged with care, and you can tell the owners take real pride in what they put on the shelves. The prices are excellent too -- much of the produce is right in line with Andronico's, but the quality and freshness are consistently better. And the best part? They make their own fresh‑squeezed orange juice. It's honestly the best orange juice money can buy, and absolutely worth the trip even if you're coming from farther away. Their OJ has made many a weekend brunch feel extra special. The owners and staff are wonderful people as well -- friendly, helpful, and genuinely invested in the community. Five stars all the way.

I was walking around Balboa St after 6pm, and saw some nice oranges at this produce market…read more Actually there was a variety of fresh fruits and veggies, but I was only interested in the oranges (my favorite fruit). Balboa Market is a nice neighborhood market that has a little bit of everything. The prices are, of course, higher than in a big supermarket. But I have found better customer service and just plain better treatment in smaller markets, than in chain supermarkets. Why? They want repeat business and positive opinions about the place (like Yelp reviews). When you shop in a neighborhood market, you just buy what you need. While I was paying for my oranges and chocolate chip cookies, the clerk tried to sell me ice cream. I told him it's around 57*F and drizzling outside. He said eating ice cream might make you feel warmer. Then we had an amusing discussion about San Francisco weather. Maybe 57*F is balmy for the "Avenues" because people were outside eating dinner in parklets. Anyway, Balboa Produce Market is a nice neighborhood store, and is probably a popular choice among locals. That's why it was still open pass 6pm.

The cashiers and other employees have been friendly, welcoming and helpful whenever I've been there. Whether it's helping find an item, answering a question or just having a friendly interaction at checkout, the service has always been positive. It's great to see a longtime neighborhood market being modernized and improved while still keeping that personal, local feel. The selection is great, the produce is always a highlight, and the store seems to keep getting better.

I've been a neighbor of 22nd & Irving Market for decades, and I've watched the store change hands…read moreand begin modernizing. That part I completely understand -- times change, and every business has to adapt. Prices are normal for today's grocery costs, and I don't expect bargains. What I do want to acknowledge is the old owners. They ran this store for decades and created a real neighborhood feel. You could sense their presence in the way the store operated, and I hope some of that legacy stays alive in the new version of the market. They deserve a proper goodbye. The part that has felt different lately is the cashier experience. The staff I've encountered often seem unhappy to be there. I've had food tossed across the counter, and today I watched a cashier search for a counterfeit‑checking pen with visible frustration. They also don't allow small credit‑card purchases, which is understandable, but the attitude around it made the interaction feel tense. The store itself is fine, and I know they're dealing with theft -- the big screen with video feeds makes that clear. But the welcoming neighborhood vibe at checkout isn't what it used to be. The old owners built something that felt personal; I hope the new team finds a way to bring some of that back.

Growing up in San Francisco there is something I noticed which doesn't really get highlighted and…read moreis a collaboration between two different continents and many different cultures . Walking around in the Mission District and you would notice lots of small businesses which are grocery stores and markets will have food and drinks which are Latin American and Asian . Somehow these visible stores in the San Francisco neighborhoods are usually invisible to the media and that includes social media .The only time I see these foods are being celebrated is when they are separated at a Costco or at ethnic food aisles at an AI ( Albertsons Inc.) store such as a Safeway which will have these bottles and cans on the shelfs. Some restaurants in the city which serves fusion Latin and Asian dishes are getting their produce when they need to reload at these grocery stores . I ran into one on Clement street which was formerly known as El Chico Produce and it's now called Del Rio Produce. On a Clement street stroll I landed at a grocery store with international products and has Chinese products. Inside it felt like Deja Vu as I felt going back in time to my childhood in the Mission District shopping at a similar grocery store. You will find an aisle of international cheeses. You will find also are lots of ingredients to make Adobo chicken. You will also see ramen with Korean, Japanese and Mexican flavors. There are different types of berries and nuts available. This is the spot to embrace the international diversity of San Francisco through drink , foods, and produce . In the month of May it's AAPI month and Cinco de Mayo along with Carnival in San Francisco so plan a visit to Del Rio Produce ( Not in Rio de Janeiro, Brazil home of Carnival) on 23rd Avenue and Clement. This Supermarket reminds of the ones in SF that are mostly in the Excelsior and the "Mission" selling different Latin American and Asian products to make food dishes in the cultural "tradition "also offering organic fruits and vegetables to promote "nutrition" these international foods stores in the city should get more "recognition" In San Francisco Real estate prices stay steady or "soar" and if you don't live in the neighborhood you find about these places online with Yelp and "Nextdoor "some try to connect this food as part of some narrative and "folklore "but these ingredients are still being sold today and never forgotten at the city international "grocery store "

This place consistently has great prices and not just on a few items but most of the produce laid out (they showcase a bunch outside the store on the sidewalk). They have some of the cheapest produce at any grocery store hands down. Beats out those mom and pop grocery stores in Chinatown even and the Mexican grocery stores in the Mission which are known to have cheaper produce. Case in point: $1.00 a basket for ORGANIC blackberries. This is before the Cyclospora outbreak when there was a fire sale on berries everywhere. You can't even buy non-organic blackberries for that price. $1.00 per avocado and they were big ones. Most of the things we bought were what we saw on the sidewalk but when we walked in to pay the store looked nicely stocked and was organized and clean. Checkout experience was pleasant and quick. I have no idea how their sale prices are so good but I guess I won't question it and just be thankful deals can still be had in the city where prices have gone up so much. I only wished we lived closer otherwise we would shop here on the regular.

I think they also sell coffee, pastries, cheeses. More fruits, veggies, flowers in the front and outside. Prices are a tad more expensive than some of the grocery stores on Clement, but they carry a lot more varieties and some higher-end brands that I would normally find at Cal-Mart, so I feel like that convenience commensurate with the higher prices. Also, they are very polite here which is like a breath of fresh air. When I was checking out today, the lady asked if I found everything I was looking for? Yes, yes I have. Thank you! :)
