Albertino's

This review is long overdue. We have been frequent loyal customers of Albertino's for over 5 years. The neighborhood has a sprinkling of corner stores- this one is set apart by the owner, Ola. He and his staff are kind, trustworthy and helpful. If you are making a recipe and missing an ingredient, chances are they have it, along with the latest Ben & Jerry flavors and a nice bottle of red wine. Their selection is surprisingly broad and the friendly service makes you feel good about supporting a local family business.

AWFUL ! First time here, grabbed a quick beer with my boyfriend. I wanted a michi cup with my beer so I bought one. I poured more than half my beer. I felt something leaking on my dress and it had started to leak all over me. And that's when I noticed holes at the bottom. My boyfriend went to ask the clerk if we could have a free michi cup and that we would BUY another beer because we understand that he has a store to run. He was rude and kept saying no. And that he never had complaints before. Sad he couldn't be kind and at least try to make up for the item that I purchased which was already damaged !! I wasted my money for something I never got to drink :\

Horrible little store. Guy that runs it is very rude. Refuses to wear a mask. And I purchased some jelly there and when I got home turned out it was 8 months expired. Never going back.

I've been here 3 different time and been charged more and more for the same beer each time. I didn't realize how much they charged my card this most recent time until I got home but it was $17 for 2 Modelos. I'm not coming back anymore. They will overcharge you if they think your not a regular (a lot of stores in the city do this).

Good people's. They stay open the latest in this neighborhood. Clean store. Feels safe. Good variety. No microwave tho. Lol

Walked into this store today to spend some found money on a lottery ticket. Having never played before, I had a few questions as the clerk stood there picking his face in front of me. I decided to play powerball and asked how much it cost. I was told $2 and handed over my 10 bucks. As I began to ask my next question, "Do you give me a form to tick off the numbers I want to play?" the asshole behind the counter hands me a ticket with five sets of randomly generated numbers that I never asked for. He immediately starts saying, "Oh, I can't cancel this! Good luck!" I told him to give me my money back, I never asked for random numbers, I wanted to play my own choices. He holds my money back and says, "Oh most people just play quick pick! I already put it in before you said anything." I told him, yeah, but I didn't ask for that, I am standing here asking questions about how to play and it's not for you to just assume. I'm totally annoyed, and tell him, "Here, you play these fucking numbers and give me my money back." "Oh no," the guy says, "I can't do that."I have no idea how to resolve this, it seems certain the owner or manager wouldn't give a shit, since they have plenty of negative reviews for being sexist, racist assholes already, so I will just leave this here, and go look into reporting the place to the California Lottery board.

This is my emergency, I need pain medication or cookies stop. I also think it's the closest place to get advil near Union Street.Their cashiers, or one in particular are friendly, and I know I'm paying through the nose for the convince of them being a corner store instead of a Rite Aid or something.But when I have a headache... just ask me if I care.

Closes before stated closing time. Walked up 5 min before stated closing time, gate was closed, they left shortly after.

It's super convenient, large variaty of products, And very well trained stuff , the owner is an amazing guy who will do everything to make every customer satisfied, he will go out of his way to bring you items you want that he doesn't have just for you and many other examples like this . He is somebody who really enjoys his work and helping customers . The prices are a bit high, but everybody has to understand that operating a business on that corner of that specific street is pricey.

Always friendly, always has stuff in stock. Prices are typical for a convenience store in SF. Pretty well stocked up on a large variety of things for such a small location.
