26th & Guerrero Market

My local corner store market that I visit several times a week. They have fresh produce, frozen items, fun snacks and drinks! I appreciate that they have non-dairy vegan items stocked and other unique and interesting finds!

This is a great local market. We stop by at least once a week for something we needed for a recipe - their baking good section and herb selection is pretty good. There's also a small stock of produce. There's also some random useful things they carry like firewood in the winter. Everyone who works here is super friendly as well. Want to add that their flower arrangements are also super fresh and really pretty! They can often last up to two weeks!

Good selection of staples, including vegan and gluten free items.

A lot of variety of goods (e.g. bread, craft beer, snacks, frozen goods, fresh produce, candy, pre-made sandwiches) and the store always feels well-stocked! You could easily restock your pantry from this corner market. They even have home essentials ranging from medicine, kitchenware, toliet paper, and soap. Last minute gifting is also possible with their flower bouquets, wine, and wine gift bags. It's a larger space indoors than it appears from the outside. Owner/staff are always kind and friendly. Note that there is a credit card minimum (somewhere between $5 - $8) and they support the tap feature of Google/Apple Pay.

I feel like this place gets me. It's tiny, but has nearly everything I could want from a corner market. It's like a mini Whole Foods or Rainbow Grocery. They don't always have everything I'm looking for (no fresh limes?) but it's a corner store, what do you expect? What they do have is impressive: Their vegetables are stocked according to what's in season, they have a generous selection of prepared foods, a good wine selection (I recommend the Rare Red), and they even sell St. George gin. They even have a tiny bulk section and fresh bakery breads delivered daily. I pretty much use this as my grocery store. And finally, the extra bonus: the staff is super friendly and helpful.

Best local market ever. You can find almost everything you need. Organic, fresh produce. Milks and cheeses. Canned goods. All the staples (anchovies, olives, capers, sesame oil, various vinegars, etc). I love shopping here instead of Whole Foods/Amazon as I'd rather not Amazon take over the world. Don't get me wrong, I'm not super dogmatic and buy stuff on Amazon too -- but good to support a variety of businesses.

Pretty good corner grocery. Good beer and liquor selection. Produce is very fully priced but good quality. Suffers from Whole Foods 'organic cereal Os instead of Cherrios' syndrome. Any prepared food is awful vegan nonsense. Surprisingly good baking ingredient selection.

This is by far the best little market in the city. Everything is carefully selected and fairly priced. They always have good avocados and a good selection of wine. I have visited every week for the past year and I’m always impressed. The service is always amazing too!

Everything here is way too expensive. Go two blocks down the street to buy groceries for half the price. They close at 8:30pm btw not 9

Wow! What a great selection. Organic and all the high quality brands I usually buy. Produce is fresh. Open long hours. Prices on many items lower than Whole Foods. Convenient street parking. Highly recommend.

I used to live by a very sad corner store that sold only junk food and liquor, and so now I'm absolutely ecstatic to be just a block from 26th and Guerrero market, which is the exact opposite! They have all of the essentials, including great produce, lots of organic options, craft beers, and Acme bread. The owner is always super friendly and nice and everything is reasonably priced too. Such a gem for the neighborhood.

A mini Whole Foods without waiting in line. This store has it all with great prices . Owner is super friendly and really gets to know his customers. Will continue to give this establishment my business!

Excellent array of goods, competitive prices, and fantastic service. I shop there regularly because it carries all the essentials and great pastries.

Great place. Always has stuff in stock and lots of decent snacking options too highly recommend

This is the best corner market I've found in the city. It's like a mini Rainbow or Bi-rite in that you can find the same interesting and high quality products, and prices are comparable/the same. Never a line, always convenient. Love the neighborly feeling of the place and the owners.

Fantastic selection, so organized, nice staff who often play great music. We're a vegetarian family who love to cook and it's a boon to have this small store two blocks from home, with all kinds of organic and specialty ingredients in addition to the basics and a good wine selection. It recently changed ownership and they didn't miss a beat, wisely holding on to experienced staff who did the buying and know what their customers want. Of course it's going to be higher priced than Rainbow Grocery or Safeway - it's doesn't have the economy of scale of a big store - I get that. We love our corner store!

We love this place! The staff is warm and friendly, and it's a nice alternative to always shopping Whole Foods in Noe Valley. The prices are similar to Whole Foods, but it feels much better to shop here and support a local mom and pop shop! The market has most all of the essentials that we need for the week and the organic produce is SO good. I don't think a week goes by that we don't pop in for one thing or another. We feel really lucky to have this gem in our neighborhood!

I used to stop by here when I lived in Noe and make a point to drop in when I'm around to pick up chocolate. They have a reasonable markup on the basic perishables (milk, cheese) and fairly good options usually 3+ varieties including an organic option. Extensive beverages and sodas for a store this size - including Diet Stewarts, Bundaberg (my fav diet root beer!). They also have a great dark chocolate section and the best prices on my favorite brand! Small produce and fresh fruits selection, usually good, fresh stuff. Finally if you're on the go, a small section with your typical togo packaged sandwiches and salads: think egg salad, hummus sandwich. Staff has always been helpful and friendly - pretty much ideal in a small business corner store.

Corner stores pose a unique dilemma for the obsessed Yelper. Generally, San Francisco is compact enough that any truly Yelp-beloved restaurant, or even coffee shop or ethnic grocery, is worth checking out, even if it's across town. But a corner store? People usually love them for their proximity to home more than anything, so following the trail of 5-star reviews to some out-of-the-way neighborhood is sort of paradoxical. Lucky for me, I commute by bike, so pretty much anything that's more or less on the way to work could be considered "my neighborhood". At the very least it's convenient to swing by. Such is the case with just about anything in the Mission, so I thought I'd check out 26th & Guerrero to see what all the fuss was about. The funny thing is, you just might want to go out of your way for this place, as it's a miniature marvel of meticulousness. They've got every possible thing a corner store could carry and then some--groceries, snacks, booze (including a Shiner Black I've never even seen in Texas), cosmetics--all packed into this tiny space and so fastidiously organized it's awe-inspiring...almost zen-inducing. Seriously, I'd love to just come here and meditate for a few minutes every morning. Even the old, suburban, Costco-loving part of my brain (which always screams that corner stores are a rip-off taking advantage of lazy people who don't plan ahead) was impressed. I didn't look too hard at the prices but they seemed fair enough. No gouging like Valencia Whole Foods, that's for sure.

A great little corner store with a surprisingly robust collection of food, beer, wine, and hard alcohol. Has nearly all the ingredients that you might have forgotten to buy at a big grocery store, and definitely enough to make a lot of meals that don't require a butcher counter. Everything is of nice quality as well.

Excellent corner store. Friendly staff and almost everything you need in a corner store. The stuff is nice and a bit more on the organic side so prices are but more expensive but still reasonable.

Everything Thadd and Dan said. This place is wonderful. It's basically a miniature whole foods. But better. They have a large vegan and vegetarian selection of pre-packaged foods as well as hard/impossible to find items (i.e. vegan cream cheese, vegan sour cream, organic avocados, soy delicious, kiss my face soaps, those fucking delicious dolmas in a can, etc). Almost everything appears to be organic. The staff is always playing cool music and dancing in the aisles...you kinda want to dance with them in celebration of the best corner market ever. And sometimes you do. Fuck convention.

Becca, if you're reading this, let's just be friends again. I mean, this is YOUR store in YOUR neighborhood, and since we're not friends anymore, I feel like there's an unspoken rule about me not shopping here again.... See, I used to have a best friend who lived down the street from this little gem. She was vegan and they always had plenty of food to fill her (and me!) up. They also have an impressive wine selection and lots of choices at all price points. Cheese is a big one here- there are many varieties and not at outrageous prices. They also carry the usual pre-made ready-to-eat vegetarian and vegan sandwiches/salads/pastas that most health food and organic produce stores carry. UNLIKE most health food and organic produce markets, they also sell cigarettes, which suits this healthy eater/unhealthy inhaler just fine. I'd like a little tar with my non-gmo apples and RSBT-free turkeys, thankyouverymuch. It's all about balance, people... Additionally, the shop owners are absolute Rock Star Saints, who make a point to know the neighbors and always treated us like family when we ventured in for booze and snacks. Also- they have some interesting, eco-friendly(er) fire "logs", which are not logs at all, but actually bags of some environment friendly(er) materials that burn just as well as those nasty old duraflames and don't do as much damage. SHOP HERE NOW if you live in the neighborhood. And seriously, Bec, let me know if there's ever a good time to stop in here and grab some goat cheese and champagne.

This grocery store has EVERYTHING...can I say everything? It reminds me of stores in Italy, where they are tiny but seemingly carry everything that you need to make a dinner or just snack. Here, they have produce, canned goods, wines, hard alcohol, gourmet chocolates, refrigerated foods, coffee, flowers, and tons of organic food. Yes, it's not cheap, but you just pay a little extra for convenience. The people that run it are always friendly. FYI - credit card minimum minimum is $8, but it is easy to spend that here!

Before the recent rain, there was: One medium sized-sized mango resting in a small blue bowl on the kitchen counter. I had bought it three days prior, and in those three days, it did not rain. But the scent of mango grew heavy, and I wondered if it might rain mango juice from the ceilings in our flat. It was so strong, in fact, that I considered the possibility of the sweet smell wafting into my upstairs neighbor's flat, causing her to dream of hot tropical rain forests growing in San Francisco. The mango became overripe. I ate it anyway, when it rained, and it made me dream of my years living in Taiwan. Oh yes, it was that good. I bought it at this little market. And I thank them for this wet, warm fruit.

Clean, well-lighted, well-run, well-stocked neighborhood store with friendly, helpful service. Plus it sells my favorite type of Acme bread!

Thank God there is an organic / environmentally aware place to buy vegetarian food, baby items, pet foods and eco-friendly cleaning products in our little corner of the Mission. Little shops like this -- which is walkable from our apartment -- are one of the many reasons we're glad we moved to SF from New England! This is one of those places where you think, "Geez, I wonder if they could possibly have xxxx..." and you go and 9 times out of 10 they have what you need amazingly tucked away in their little shop.

This place is so awesome, I would get an apartment near it if I was house-hunting. I lived a block away for a year and did all of my shopping here and at the Noe Valley Farmer's market. I went to Trader Joe's maybe three times in that year. Amazingly, they do have everything. An incredible selection. Items are easy to find. Prices are really reasonable. The people who work here are super friendly and will help you find anything. I got organic milk, raw milk cheese, extra virgin oils, imported crackers, organic soups and toiletries here. They have a great wine selection with several affordable bottles. The chocolate selection is out of this world. There are many ethnic foods here that are hard to find even in big grocery stores. I rarely bought produce because the farmer's market is better but when I did, it was good quality. They always have fresh and unique bouquets of flowers too. Best corner store ever.

Best. Corner market. Ever. Just unbelievable. The people who run this place are so nice and they have done an astounding job of packing just the things you need into a tiny space and selling them at reasonable prices. When we moved in our landlords mentioned this place as being one of the reasons to live here. We thought they were joking. They weren't. This existence of this market has - I'm serious - completely revolutionized my thinking about how civilized the process of obtaining food can be. Giant grocery stores seem almost impossibly harsh and overwhelming to me now, even fancy/overpriced ones. I'm probably ruined forever from shopping at them.

I was drawn in by the unusual fresh flowers by the front door, then over to the organic fruit, on to the fresh bread ... and I was hooked. I am primarily a vegetarian (plus sushi) and eat organic and local as much as possible. I love to cook and am trying to get better at "Big City Cooking" -- buying wholesome, fresh food just for the next few meals and then taking it home and enjoying the whole process of preparing and indulging. I don't want my refrigerator crammed with food I won't eat for a week. This store is perfect. They have everything I need, they are friendly and helpful, and they are even getting me some organic flour to make my bread with. This little market lets me live in the city the way I like to -- with essential products and services in people sized establishments that are easy to get to without using the car. Not only is the food good for you, shopping here makes you feel like a real person in a small friendly community..

Simply put: Goddamn Amazing. So yeah, I am finally writing a review about this place and it is long overdue. And as my neighbor Kelly M. states in her review, I have easily been spending over a 1/5 of my income at this place for over a year. I always make the half block walk with the intention of getting just Milk... 5 minutes and $40 later, I am returning home with one delicious beer, broccoli, rice pudding, tahini, EVO and one chocolat chip cookie. Yes, I leave kind of angry, but then.... actually i am not really angry, it's just that I haven't even walked to the back of my house where my kitchen is located and I have already realized that I forgot the Milk. The point of this story is not that I forgot the Milk, but the simple fact of the matter that this place is so stocked with Culinary treats that it is very easy to forget the everyday necessities I meant to grab. While Safeway is only another 4 blocks away and quite a bit cheaper, I have become to accustom to the ease of doing 75% of my grocery shopping at the local quality market. As all these other reviews state, the do indeed have a great liquor and wine selection ranging from quite affordable to not affordable. To top the convenience and quality factor of my neighborhood market, the owner(s) and staff are the mostest bestest people around.

I lived near this place for several months and would stop in at least once a week. I never did major grocery shopping here, just would use it to pick up a few items during the week. I was so happy that I could grab organic leeks and dino kale right around the corner for pretty cheap. Aside from the organic berries and veggies, I tended to get the same things over and over. I did notice their prices increased during the past year (as food prices worldwide increased), so I would have to take my business elsewhere for staples such as organic eggs. But it's great for grabbing a healthy snack, small dinner, or maybe some Japanese veggie chips, a Gus drink or an It's It. Honestly, that's definitely what I bought more than anything else in the store, ha. You'd find me in the freezer section, digging in the back box looking for a chocolate one. Good selection of wine, spirits, herbal remedies, and there's a small section for toiletries too for your Tom's toothpaste and Chandrika Ayurvedic soap. I always felt the hours were really good, too. And the people who work here are nice and pretty laid back. It's a great little store.

I never thought that I'd be using the word "gorgeous" to describe a grocery store, but it is...it really is. It is gorgeous and it is dazzling and it is sparkling clean! Boy, going in here really pleases my innate penchant for visual order! You've got to see it to believe it. As for what they sell, well let's see, they have nutella, they have Looza brand mango juice, they have Midori liquer, and, hell, that's about all a place needs to have in stock to make me become a customer! This place is a high class joint fo sho! Way beyond five stars.

I've been shopping here since I moved to the neighborhood four years ago, and it's always a lovely experience. Going to a party? Great place to stop in for flowers, champagne, wine, beer, etc. If you're sick you can get cough drops, and if you're achy you can pick up bath salts. The quality control is thorough on the produce, and nothing is ever bad (except maybe the occasional old onion). The produce prices are high, but no higher than Rainbow or Bi-Rite, which are standard for the neighborhood. The grocery prices are better than Bi-Rite. The most important thing is that it's been the same employees the whole time, and they are very friendly and helpful. I can only assume it means they pay a living wage and treat them well. Fantastic selection of red wines, white could be better...and lots of options including vegan for frozen desserts. What could be better in a corner store?

Thank you 26th and Guerrero Market for feeding me over the past 3 years. I love everything about you. I love the esoteric items hidden away in your shelves. I love the new treats you find for me and offer up. I love that one time I just bought 2 bottles of wine and some Ny-Quil, and you weren't judgemental at all. You have everything I need: nice wine, cheap wine, protein shakes, tasty hummus, yummy frozen food, coffee, and booze. Oh and Ny-Quil. Take me I'm yours. You guys have almost made me a vegetarian - and liked it. And one day you guys will probably succeed. And I also know you're totally cool and non-judgemental about the fact I'm not there yet.

This is the closest grocery to my house with what I consider to be normal hours and not-a-bodega selection of food (e.g. organic, or from a range of food groups). I like the selection for the most part, and think they appropriately select a range of options for most products (price and organic-ness), but I would love to see a few more non-organic options to make this more of a place I could get basics from. I always end up berating myself for spending $9 on a frozen pizza or $12 on syrup because I was craving pancakes. It would be nicer if every product had a couple of options at different price points, even if that meant that one option was "less" organic; but perhaps that is the Trader Joe's-phenomena that has colonized my mind to make me believe that we can all have cheap, non-corporate-feeling groceries just on the basis of wanting it badly enough. I like the wine and beer selection and find the range of price and selection very thorough.

The Mission: first proper dinner party in my new house (ok, yeah, we've lived there for two months already, I don't wanna hear about it). It's 4:45, people are coming at 7, where can I get arborio rice and shallots? I turn to trusty Yelp and am beguiled by the reviews of this lovely market. The Scene: Called the woman, she searched out the rice, I went, I found parking, I was seduced into buying tons of things I don't need, she gave me free sesame candy for packing my own bag. Awesome. Plus they have a fantastic wine selection, including a nebbiolo I'd been wanting! The finale: dinner was awesome. Waking up at 7 the next morning, not so much.

Wow this place is benefitting from a little Yelpflation, IMHO. I live a half-block away and I try to avoid it because I feel ripped off. And the lady that works there a lot is not very nice. Sure, everything's fresh and high quality, and the chocolate, wine, and spirits selection superb, but it's not really *all that. It is relatively expensive (1/2 lb of deli ham for $9!). The ice cream choices are sorta limited. They don't have some basic meats and stuff. It does appeal to the yuppie in me though, and it's close, so it's an easy corner store to love. Just wanted to give you a little more info so you're not blown away by the prices and smallness...

The selection here is unbelievable. Not only do they carry every item you can think of, but they carry three different kinds of said weird item. Need miso paste? They have three kinds. Local honey? Three kinds. Tamari soy sauce? Three kinds. Liquid aminos? Okay, just one kind, but seriously, liquid aminos?? The only place they're lacking a little is in the produce department, where the selection is a bit thin and the prices are a bit steep.

I come here every week and they have all the bits and pieces that I realize I need at the last minute! lots of healthy and organic options. you get to know the friendly employees and that makes it more enjoyable.

Best neighborhood market I have ever seen in AMERICA. (These exist in many European cities, mind you.) 26th & Guerrero Market is everything an SF citizen could want in a corner store and more. Just like our European cousins, the store provides several shelves of awesome eat bits from around the globe as well as a healthy liquor offering (ZU vodka, anyone?) and fresh produce and dairy selections as well as many options for our vegan friends. LOTS OF DELICIOUS CHOICES in this tiny space. I once lived in this neighborhood and frequented the shop; now I go out of my way to st op there because it's just...perfect. If I had my own Dana Grocer in the Spirit World, it would be THIS CORNER STORE!

Great variety of merchandise. Take out foods unusual to American palate. Very cool atmosphere.

This used to be my market. I lived on the 1300 block of Guerrero and this was the closest market my non car having self would go to. Excellent selection. The wine, the produce, the vegan and veggie options. The candy. The fruit. The staff. Oh how I loved to bull shit with the employees. I live in the lower Haight now and have a cool market but nothing compares to this little gem.

This is the best little market in the area. There is produce that is actually fresh. Cool organic pantry items. Some meats and fancy cheese. Good wine and the place is CLEAN. I have never seen such a clean store in my life. If you have ever been to corner stores in the nicer part of NYC then you will be reminded of home when you get to this market.

This place is great. It's where I go when I want to pay the same price for groceries that I would at Rainbow, but I don't want to walk all the way to Rainbow.

As corner stores go, this place can't be beat. For how small the shop is, they cram an amazing selection of (meticulously ordered) natural and organic frozen and packaged foods, wines, even some produce, meat and yummy baked goodies. One star off because I can't really afford to shop here regularly. Half a star back because it's so close to my house that I do it anyway.

I live less than a block away and I shop here at least once a week. Yes, it's a bit on the pricey side, but they have a lot of great-tasting food and beverages (lots of it organic) -- from granola cereal, to cheeses, to fruit, and beers. It will surprise you with the amount of things you can find in this relatively small store. It may not be able to completely replace those trips to Safeway or Costco, but it's worth it for the convenience, variety, and friendly service.

thank god for the 26th & guerrero market. saved me from the agony of the giant supermarket experience when all i want is cereal and easy check out.

i cannot rave enough about this place. at first i didnt love it b.c it was a bit pricey and i can be a cheap bastard. but the people who work here are soooo nice. the woman on the weekends and days is like my second mom now, she loves us, knows us all by name, sometimes gives me a little chocolate. they have great food, gorgeous flowers, a great wine selection and offer great under 10- wines that are not gross like the corner stores around. beautiful produce, acme breads. this is the kind of corner store that makes you love where you live. between the weekend beer runs, emergency lillet on warm days, sunday am bacon, dinner and a daily run here by all of my roomates and neighbors....i think we give them like 1/5 of our salaries. i go for little lindt chocolate balls daily. neat, clean, well laid out, easy to shop here. they even sell buckwheat crunchies made by the guy upstairs from me. such a great place. warm people, they help me promote my event i do down the street even. this place is great and for the first time in my life i live somewhere i feel a part of a community and know my neighbors.....and we all love this store!

I love going to 26th&Guerrero and getting lost in there they have such a huge variety of things, for one their wine and beer selection is phenomenal, great quality with a price variety that fits your budget. They also have wonderful hand crafted flowers bouquets to pick from daily. It's just great having this store in my neighbors it's always clean, fresh produce, nice music to listen to while you shop and has an original San Francisco character to it.

If you need a quick carton of dairy free ice cream, a good bottle of vino or you just need some fresh organic produce this is the place to get it. That and whatever else calls to you from those immaculate shelves of goodness.(fine chocolate perhaps?)Two blocks away and oh so perfect. I just wish it was open later.

If you want healthy organic food, this it the place. They have everything from bottled organic milk to vegan cookies. The produce is not always the freshest, but it is organic and the people who work there are usually quite friendly.

Not a bad spot. I've never gotten the produce or "grocery" items, but I've on many days run in for one of the refrigerated sandwiches, wraps, Peasant Pies, other light eats, kombuchas, and / or protein drinks when in the neighborhood. Once or twice I've made a champagne run here (only as a courier, not an imbiber), and I once went just to get Tabasco for a household in need of un-blandness. The folks at the register are polite, and I've never seen the place crowded. Shopping here is simple and pleasant.

For a neighborhood market, this one is a cut above the rest. The market has a number of fresh fruits and veggies, they sell freshly baked bread, there is a wide variety of staples and they have an impressive wine selection. In general, I have always been very satisfied with the quality of the items they sell. The one drawback is the price. While I expect a neighborhood market to cost more, some of the prices here make me think twice about walking the extra distance to a less convenient location.

Well, hey now. My favorite little corner store is on Yelp! Eeeexcellent. I can't emphasize enough how glorious it is to have a healthy option for shopping within a two-minute toddle of my squalid studio. My brand of vitamins! My brand of politics! My kind of people! Wine, wine, wine! This, plus a fabulous and most eclectic mix of music to serenade me while I peruse the frozen-food case. I love my little corner store even more than I love Barack Obama's ears. It's true! That's my story, anyway, and I'm sticking to it.

Great corner market. Has everything from parsley to organic dark chocolate with almond and sea salt. Prices are reasonable and selection is good, particularly for those last minute items you forgot at the grocery store but need close and in a pinch.

I was charged for a 5 pack of Rip Van Wafels instead of a single one. I know this place is a bit pricey so I didn't notice they had overcharged me till I got home. Not a huge deal, but over $5 due back so I walked back to get refunded. The older lady who had served me earlier told me they didn't sell 5 packs, even though she could see it on the receipt. Then she asked me to figure out how much I was owed back, which was a bit odd. She apologized to the person in line behind me for the wait, but never once apologized to me for the mistake or the inconvenience. I'll be spending my time and money elsewhere from now on, THANKS.

My roommate adored this place (was next door to where we lived) & I couldn't figure out the big deal. Yes this place has all the basic foods you need, some not so basic, lots of vegetarian & vegan options, medicine, booze. BUT it is overpriced! Especially when you can walk 1 block further to Safeway, use your club card & pay 70% less. There is a CC minimum which often times posed a challenge for me (I never carry much $$ on me) & forced me to buy more. This left a bad taste in my mouth--almost as bad as the premade vegan burritos they sell.
