17th & Noe Market

Nice corner market on a quiet corner in the Castro. They cram a lot into this little store. In the front they have some fresh fruit, an ATM, and lots of liquor. They also have a selection of empanadas which are about $5 each. There is a local cafe two locks away that makes fresh empanadas, so they might want to consider something else. Staff is friendly. Street parking only, but you could probably double park if you wanted to run in. Just watch for "street cars".

Great folks, good selection.A bit pricey but it's close by, clean and friendly! A+ and 2 thumbs up

This family is among the kindest people to run a corner market in town. Sam is the primary manager, his delightful mom also works there (although less since Covid), & his always-friendly kid) among others. I don't drink much anymore, but his wine selection I'm told, rivals any wine shoppe in town, as Sam is our neighborhood "sommelier" of sorts. If you enjoy a product, he will try & get it for you. I love Tejava tea for example, & he always has it in stock. Since my wrist is weak since I fractured it some years back, he will often volunteer to open the bottle for me. What a gentleman! They carry lots of organic products which can be pricey, but if that's what you want, it's 8:30pm & your health food store is closed-voila! there it is for you.These folks are terrific people, & I appreciate their kindness to me.

I've been going to this gem of a corner market for years now. The good merchandise and service has never wavered.I'm old and use a cane now, but Sammy takes care of me: dropped my credit card, he came from around the counter to pick it up for me. Same visit, I left my cane by the milk department. He went and found it and lovingly gave it to me.AND, he had sweet people in line waiting. All were so kind. This is San Francisco personified .

A friendly neighborhood market carrying a good selection of craft beer and essentials (like wine and baklava). Echoing another reviewer that the younger guy who works at night is awesome. I volunteer with a group dedicated to keeping people safe in the Castro and whenever we stop in to see how things are going he's always so kind. On hot days he even offers us water or a treat and thanks us for looking out for the local businesses. He says hello and chats with everyone who comes in there, recognizing many of them. I don't know about you, but I'll take that over a big box store any day.

My friendly neighborhood market. Awesome owners, and awesome younger guy who works at night. Really top notch wine selection - you'll be surprised for a corner market. Some rare finds and great buys. Good beer and ice cream selection. Friendly faces. This is my go-to in the hood and I love these people.

The customer service was terrible when I went. Im a Lyft driver and I went in for a pack of gum in between rides. It was 1.79. The cashier was being very impatient w/me because I was taking too long to count out the change I had in my pocket. "It's just 1.79.. It's just 1.79", he kept repeating. I was a bit confused but still tried to remain polite as I wasn't quite sure what he was getting at so I asked, "Is everything OK?"He replied that I needed to hurry up because he had "lots of things to do". I looked behind me and there were not customers who I was holding up. I guess he had something urgent to do in the back that justified being rude to a customer. So I took back the change, put down two one dollar bills and told him to keep the change. I didnt want to hold him up further by giving my change back to me. I politely and calmly told him that I felt he was being very rude to me. He ignored me. My only crime was taking a bit too long in counting out my money. Did I really deserve to be treated so rudely? Maybe if I was buying an expensive bottle of high end alcohol I may have been treated better. Who knows.

Best market in the city. The people, prices and products. A quality local family market is rare to see anymore.

It's so hard for me to visit the old neighborhood because it's just so different and our house isn't ours anymore and there are heteroyuppies breeding and shopping for designer petwear. So sometimes when I want to take a walk through the 'hood on a sunny day I have to fool myself into thinking we're just going to take a stroll around the Mission, me and some friends, and if we happen to end up outside the house where I used to play hopscotch (alone, because I'm a lonely only) it will be by accident and not because I'm taking a sniffly walk down sappy lane. And sometimes it helps to stop by the corner market and pick up some mini boozes and some mixers for a little liquid reinforcement. But then I walk by the market at 17th and Noe with their Martha Stewart-ass green awning and their cute little curb appeal like this is Paris or some shit, and it's like the store is looking at me with my can of Kerns juice half full of Smirnoff and being like, "Clean it up, woman. We're trying to make it fresh around here."

Wow! You wouldn't think it just walking by but they have an amazing wine selection (and lots of nice cheeses and nibbles too). I also like the fact that they have some beers from smaller breweries too. And yes, the array of spirits is expanisve...I think it safe to say they have the nicest selection of liquor around. So what makes a little market with good selection five-star?! The owner. He is so incredibly nice every single time. It's the kind of nice that is contagious...the world needs more business owners like this guy. I walk past two other similar stores just for that.
