Aisles are a bit cramped but it's only because bi-rite is so chock full of amazing foods- everything is carefully selected and knowledgeable staff are eager to give wine, cheeses, coffee bean advice.- Taylor LeeJuly 24, 2018The perfect place to pick up sandwiches before you go out and explore the city. Try the Grilled Chicken or Fried Chicken sandwich.
Super super pricey, but they have an amazing selection of good food. Get a pint of bi-rite ice cream here if you don't want to wait in line down the street.
Nicholas HermanMarch 19, 2016tasty prepared food and sandwiches, excellent ice cream shop located across the street. go here for sandwiches, walk down the block to Dolores Park. The view from the is one of the best in the city.
My favorite place to buy groceries. Gets packed and it's rather spendy, but the selection is incredibly well curated. Can't go wrong with their wine, cheese, chocolate, pasta, and especially ice cream
Ian is the best. He will answer all your questions and brainstorm the perfect menu for tonight's meal. Plus he gets to know you by name and makes bi rite feel like family.
This is an expensive place that sells very good food. Particularly good for pre-made meals, and great fruit, vegetables and cheeses. But really, if you can order from elsewhere, I suggest it.
Karina van SchaardenburgFebruary 23, 2014The sour cream chocolate cake (no frosting!) is the perfect lazy night at home treat (and pairs beautifully with a movie rental from Faye's across the street.- Ashley MowreyAugust 7, 2014I love it, it's like shopping at a farmers market. All of the staff is super knowledgeable and hip. Sample everything, just ask.
Jennifer EvansOctober 3, 2015Great little market. Best part is, their famous ice cream which they sell in pints at the back of the store.
Melanie LiuMay 27, 2013Great local market! Folks here know their stuff. Amazing selection of chocolate, coffee, cheese, readymade eats, seafood and meats. Love Five Dot Ranch esp rib eye. Fav sandwhich - achiote chicken.
Tuna nicoise sandwich: best summer sandwich you could ever get. Cold seared tuna, saffron caper aioli, olive tapenade, arugula, warm Acme bread. Done.
You can get the bi-rite ice cream without the line cross the street! Tiramisu jar is so good. Also a great selection of cheese and wine :)
Dakota ArkinJune 2, 2016A small grocery store full of artisanal goodness and an easy way to skip the line at the creamery across the street, buy a pint and take it to the park.
Laura CNovember 17, 2011The place to go for local, organic, and sustainable snacks and groceries. Produce here is always fresh and there are lots of samples offered. They cater and have a seasonal deli with a changing menu.
Serious EatsOctober 20, 2013If you can stand the hipsters and high prices, it's a great place to buy produce, high quality meat, and ready-made sandwiches.
You can ask to try samples of their wonderful selection of cheese. Don't forget to check out their ice cream in pints.
Pavan KulkarniMarch 26, 2017Get any of the awesome beers they have and chocolate mousse is amazing and head to Dolores park to chill
Awesome sandwiches and right next to Dolores Park, perfect on a sunny afternoon. The roast beef and cheese one is delicious.
1) Get the Watson's lamb loin. 2) They'll vacuum seal anything for you. 3) While you are cooking, use Bi-rite as dial-a-cook. They'll dole out tons of advice. Think of high prices as part service fee.
Viviana de MicheliJanuary 16, 2015Fresh food, tasty sallads and sandwiches. Grab something and have a picnic at Dolores park on a sunday.
BravoJanuary 27, 2010The epitome of a neighborhood grocery. You will never figure out how they pack so much into that little store. Family-owned and committed to supporting local farmers and producers. -Preeti Mistry, Top- E MarSeptember 11, 2014They sell their famous ice cream in freezers in the back. If you want some now, head across the street to their ice cream parlor.
Jeff Reine 🌧June 5, 2016If you fancy a fancy sandwich, get the achiote grilled chicken. Always a good choice.
The "creme au chocolat" is awesome. Fantastic service, this is the Apple store for apples and more...
Helen ZhangSeptember 17, 2011Friendly customer service is what keeps this awesome mom and pop market thriving. Their curry chicken salad and quinoa is delicious as well.
They're the best at giving you tons of information and recommendations, especially on meats and cheeses. Love this place!
Holly DJune 30, 2017if you love union market in LES (manhattan) you'll love this place a little more
Best Grocery in the world, you absolutely trust everything they sell there, everything is amazing!!!- Half-off pre-made sandwiches around 5pm!! Excellent banh mi. Get some Pliny and enjoy yourself
Melissa WJune 11, 2016They have affordable bunches of wildflowers ($8/cornflowers). Snag a number to order sandwiches.
While the tourist hoards queue down the block at Tartine on weekend mornings, pick up an excellent muffin or scone here — with no wait.
Sherry LiSeptember 6, 2015Nice selection of items. But proximity to Dolores Park makes it prohibitive on weekends.
Sam FederAugust 19, 2013Everything you need to enjoy an afternoon at Delores Park. Snag a growler of Magnolia-brewed ale.
Lukas MartiniAugust 26, 2012Quite possibly the single most expensive grocery store in the world, but their customer service is awesome and they have good bread. Expect Hipsters.
Acme Pain Au Levain is still sold for $5, a cheap bread price in an otherwise expensive store!
irishboyinlondonJune 17, 2013Every neighbourhood needs a place like this! Great produce! The whole store smells amazing!
Ice creams & Prepared entrees, sides, salads are phenomenal (and not cheap).
Geoffroy BablonMarch 9, 2015You can buy plastic cups for a dime a piece at the checkout counter. Good with that bottle of wine you just bought for the park.
Impossible parking, ridiculously crowded, amazing products. Worth the hassle!
Great grocery store! Orcanic, local, gluten free, fresh.
Tobias SchmidtAugust 25, 2018Small, cute little grocery store with good quality produce. Pricey af though
Ben GaspariniMarch 11, 2017Nice selection but only a boutique shop. Nicer homeless people outside that at other places.- Paula JensenMarch 22, 2017I love this store and visit on my annual trip to SF. Such a wonderful experience.
