Checked out the new Luke’s Local in the Inner Sunset and really liked it. The space is super clean and bright, which makes a big difference. It feels elevated the second you walk in… upscale but not pretentious. You can tell they’ve put thought into the layout and selection. At first glance, there were a lot of unique items I haven’t seen in other grocery stores around here.
I didn’t do a full shop, but I wandered the aisles and found a bunch of interesting stuff: $28/lb free-range ribeye steaks, some sparkling water brands I’d never heard of (a few even on sale), and a surprisingly good beer, wine, and liquor section. It definitely leans more curated than comprehensive.
One standout was a Korean-inspired lager: a collab between Fort Point and San Ho Won. Super smooth, a little hoppy, and kind of nostalgic. Perfect for warm weather or just hanging out. It reminded me of summers in Asia.
This probably isn’t where I’d do a huge weekly grocery haul, but for high-quality ingredients, snacks, drinks, or prepared meals, it’s a great option. Also just a nice place to browse! everything feels fresh and well-presented.
Overall, really glad this opened up in the neighborhood. Beats another chain store or empty space. Looking forward to going back and trying more stuff.
