Came here once because I went to get coffee but needed a couple ingredients for dinner so I stopped by since it was just across the street. They had some of the basics in the produce section. However, produce isn't the freshest and some were already on their way to going bad. Its a small market and I didn't bother walking the aisles and just grabbed what I needed. But you need to really choose and pick the produce you want to get to pick the freshest one you can. Service was almost non-existent but it didn't matter to me since I already knew what I needed.

This is a "whole foods" grocery store mart in the Castro. It has supplements, drinks, snacks. They have lots of these non-Whole Foods whole foods shops in SF. It's organic and natural. I decided on an apple juice. Maybe I don't know what these grocery stores are so much, but this is not Whole Foods itself.

You would hope that the post-COVID world would have us all be a bit kinder to one another, more patient. In some cases, that's true. Tonight at Buffalo Whole Food & Grain Company, that was not the case. The cashier at the store was one of the rudest people I have had the misfortune to deal with. And I won't again.Buffalo is in my neighborhood, & I didn't want to travel across town to store I work at, so I popped in to get a few things, including some fruit. I was talking with the cashier, about the cost of cherries specifically. Everybody knows cherries this season can be quite expensive. I asked if he would weigh them so I'd know how much they cost. He refused. I asked him why. He said "Are you going to buy them?" I told him I might, but I need to know how much they cost. He repeated "Are you going to buy them?" I said, "How can I buy them if I don't know how much they cost?" I asked if I could speak to the manager, and he said HE was the manager. No way is that guy the manager, & I don't know why he didn't want to sell me the cherries.I left not buying anything. I went to Sam's 17th & Noe & bought a pound of cherries for $3.50--great deal, thank you Sam! When the real manager reads this, this cashier was a young guy, possibly Middle Eastern, working closing shift Sunday June 20th around 7:30 PM. He must be a member of the Bsisso family because only family would let some one get away with that rudeness. He was wearing a light-colored round cotton cap like Gilligan on Gilligan's Island. He needs training in customer service because his behavior cost you a $20+ sale. If I behaved like that toward a customer, I would be reprimanded if not fired. Maybe he really is the manager. If he is, that's sad.I'm never going back there. Other stores carry the same products minus the rude attitude.

So grateful to have Buffalo so close to my house! It's supremely convenient to pick up all sorts of grocery items like fresh produce and fruit, milk, eggs, cheese, drinks, they have some fake meat products, dry goods like pasta, bread, crackers, condiments, tea, and really anything you might need. Prices are definitely a few dollars higher than you'd pay at a large chain grocery but that is absolutely to be expected. They have some local products as well which is nice. The other fantastic thing is they're basically always open - their hours are 7am-9pm. Also super friendly staff!

I've lived down the street from Buffalo for over a decade now, and it's finally time I give them some love. This market is a GEM. Small but mighty, they carry just about everything. From produce, to dried goods, to sweets and little things in between, somehow they make it all work. They've even got the most perfectly curated gluten-free, vegetarian, and vegan goods. And if you're into supplements, there's a FABULOUS nutrition section waiting for you.Yes, the prices are a little high, but everything here is super high-quality, not to mention, all of the employees have always been super sweet. We need this especially in these crazy times. There are those places that I'm not gonna Yelp on because I don't want them to blow up, but in these times, Buffalo really deserves some praise for being so kind and consistent!

New owners in spring 2021: the Bsisso family. Their other store, Noe Hill Market two blocks away, is its own neighborhood legend,. Everything good about Buffalo is sharper than ever. For some Bsisso family history in the SF CHRONICLE, see https://www.sfchronicle.com/local/heatherknight/article/The-heart-of-our-community-S-F-neighbors-16022735.php. Here's my Yelp review of Buffalo 11 years ago; the store is even better now:

My friendly neighborhood market where I go to get my almond milk and kombucha on because I'm certainly *that* girl. The staff is so great here, and get to know their regulars...even letting me get them next time when I'm short a few cents and forgot my full wallet at home. They have a great selection of produce and health goods as well as vitamins and organic whole-foodsy type beauty products. Even though it's a small store they have a surprisingly vast selection, and it's not all healthy, they have some delicious snacks, cookies, and ice creams.Really love seeing them start to carry meats, like bacon, so I don't have to go to two stores in the morning for breakfast rations.

Amazing store and experience! I initially went in to buy something to drink but came out with a whole bunch of great organic goodies. One thing that surprised me was the friendly staff! They showed me the fridge that had fresh hummus, and let me tell you, it's the best I've ever had. Thank you Buffalo for a great experience!

I will never shop here! I ordered through an app too good to go where they are supposed to stop food waste and give you things that are still edible and good... The cashier went to the back to get my bag and straight up filled it with trash!!! That is a bold woman to smile in somebody's face and fill their bag with trash and charge me for it! If this is the type of people who work there, I'd be scared to buy anything in the store anyway. If I would've ate anything in that bag I would've been in the bathroom for days, and the one thing that didn't look decent was right it on the inside when I took a bite. Plus looking around the prices were astronomical even for a San Francisco. they should be a strained, straight up ghetto and unprofessional!
