Bi-Rite Market

I'm thrilled that Bi-Rite opened on Polk Street. No longer do I need to drive across town to get the freshest produce, the best meat, the best of everything just minutes away. I've been shopping here for twenty-five years. Ever since I discovered the original store on 18th, I've been a happy customer. I've come to know many of the amazing staff members and even Sam, the gracious owner. It's wonderful feeling that you matter as a shopper. They even added a brand, Smart Chicken to the store, because I requested it. It's the best tasting chicken and it's eco friendly too.So, if you're looking for the best quality food, it's here. Yes, it's more expensive. But what better way to spend your money than taking care of your health and enjoying, to the max, each meal you prepare?

Bi-Rite Market is a gem when you're hanging out near Dolores Park and want to avoid the long lines at other spots. It's the perfect place to grab a snack or a quick bite before heading back to the park.I finally tried one of their sandwiches -- mozzarella, prosciutto, and peppers -- and it did not disappoint. The ingredients were super high quality, and you could taste the freshness in every bite. The price is on par with other sandwich spots in the area, but the flavor and care they put into it make it feel worth it.If you're nearby and need a quick, delicious option, Bi-Rite is a great choice.

Great Sandwiches!Ordered the Lone Mountain, Bernal Heights, Sutra, and Caprese sandwiches. All of them were delicious! Bi-Rite is one of those places where you can't go wrong with what you order.At the time I ordered, the place was BUSY. All our sandwiches came out within about 15 min give or take though. Good enough for me, and worth the wait.The vibe was very hustle and bustle. People in and out. It's a grocery market, so no seating area. Perfect stop before heading to a nearby park!Would recommend and would go again!

I love Bi-Rite Market. It's a one-stop shop for some of my favorites, from Wise Sons bagels to high-end butter. The customer service is superb.

Step 1: order the Lone Mountain sandwich. Step 2: take it with you and walk a block to Dolores Park.Step 3: enjoy a perfect afternoon in the sun eating a damn good sandwich!Seriously though, one of my favorite weekend activities is grabbing an incredible sandwich from the counter and enjoying it in the iconic Dolo Park. The mart is tight and usually packed on the weekends, so be prepared to wait for a bit -- but I promise it will be more than worth it. Order a sandwich at the deli counter, pay at the registers in the front, and then wait outside for them to bring your made-to-order sandwich out to you. Easy! The Lone Mountain is by far the best one on the menu -- literally wouldn't change a thing about the sandwich, from the soft focaccia to the tender chicken and the warm sauce, it is perfection. The Telegraph (their version of the roast beef) is a bit dry for my taste, but if you're not a saucy person then you might really enjoy it. The tuna sandwich was clearly high quality (I mean the tuna just melts in your mouth), but it didn't have a lot of flavor. This choice would be good if you're looking for something light and easy on the palate. Overall, be prepared for tight aisles, a decent wait, and the best sandwich in SF (as long as you order the LONE MOUNTAIN)! Go on, get the sandwich and enjoy that afternoon in Dolores. You deserve it!

Small quaint market in SF, decided to stop by here for lunch. We picked up a sandwich which they were kind enough to cut for us :) The inside looked amazing and tasted just as good!

I always walk by this spot, but I finally had a chance to take a look and I think it just might be my new sandwich spot if I'm ever looking for a quick lunch at Dolores Park. I got the prosciutto sandwich (#14?), and bought a small pack of burrata to add to the sandwich. Best decision ever, a little pricey altogether, but so worth it. The burrata cheese added some subsistence and great texture. Anyway, the shop itself is amazing full of so many different choices you wouldn't typically get from a general small store in the Bay. Beyond your regular produce and large selection of meats, there's a variety of hard-to-get options (from cashew milk, to ready garlic noodles, tin fish, fresh flower bouquets and an expansive selection of cheeses). A bit higher priced than your typical market, but seems to be worth it given the selection and quality.

Great little local market serving the surrounding community. Service is friendly, helpful, and polite. They have a butcher area with fresh cuts of meats and seafood. They also have freshly cooked prepared food. Refrigerated items, freezer area with items. Good selection of fresh vegetables and fruits.

I was visiting town and my friend suggested i come to this market because it was his favorite. It is VERY small. They seem to have good quality produce and my friend suggested i get their cookies.

This review is really just for the Furikake Egg Salad. Listen, I love Bi-Rite. It's like a NorCal Erewhon without the sketchy supplements or smoothies (I wouldn't mind if they had the latter). But this seemingly new-ish Furikake Egg Salad is so freaking good. I've bought it 3x in the last two weeks and it becomes the star of "picnic dinners" that usually involve this with Nordic Crisps (a newer cracker find at Bi-Rite that's also bomb), the Bi-Rite avocado chicken salad, some bread, and maybe a tin of fish or some cold cuts / cheese. But, again, this is the star. I do spiff it up with a pretty heavy hand of extra MSG, but it's great even before that. I hope they keep this as one of their packaged "salad" options forever!
