UC Market

Very nice neighborhood market. Very friendly and kind staff. Good vibe. Longtime owner and courteous clientele.

UC Market is the type of neighborhood bodega we need more of in SF. Located at the quiet corner of 3rd and Hugo, it's unfortunately all too uncommon to have this kind of convenience woven into an otherwise pretty residential area. Like all good bodegas, it has your usual basic food grabs, snacks (chips, nuts, etc.), and alcohol. On the latter front, it has a generous selection of wine (if that's your thing). It also has a small fresh produce section, which is surprising but welcomed. Nice to have a friendly and welcoming spot like this in the area.

3 stars for the older guy but the younger guy is lazy and rude. I always seem to have issues with him for no reason. I spend at least 3-500 a month there just getting things like cat litter, food, quick snacks and some ice cream but I am always uncomfortable when the younger one is there he doesn't seem like he wants to be there and I try to not let it get to me but after watching him let 2 people go in front of me to purchase items while bagging their items and when I get up to the register he hands be an in opened bag like it's obvious he doesn't like me and I'm done putting up with his attitude plus he opens the store late and closes early every shift. I'll be taking a much needed break from this store for the second time now in 3 years.

Nice neighborhood grocery store. They have fresh produce and other household items. It's convenient for the area and people who live there.

I wasn't expecting to find such a decent selection of wine at this little corner store! Not only did they have a handful of champagnes, rose (the actual French stuff), imported white & reds... they also had some pre-chilled, so we could pop open a bottle immediately. Their Haribo candy selection was vast & impressive too! All in all, a better-than-expected convenience store experience!

Love this market. It has the basics a similar market would carry but the people who work there are absolute gems. I found myself going in to buy random items I didn't really need just to say hi to the employees. Definitely has a neighborly vibe to it.

Great corner store! All the things you need to grab quickly nearby, for a really great price for a local market, with a friendly team!

I bike all over the city to get the best quality, selection, or price on various foodstuffs, but when it comes to beer, all I want to know is one thing: how far do I have to carry it?In the case of UC Market, only one block, which means they're my goto spot from now on. Selection is at least as good as any grocery store, and most 6-packs are $9.99 (not a steal to be sure, but I'll waive 1 dollar of that as the walkability surcharge). And is that a tray of fresh-baked samosas for sale? Yes, I'll enjoy being a regular here.

Love this spot, mostly for its location and service. They have a oddly specific selection of beer, wine, spirts, and food that I think are tailored to the neighborhood. They take recommendations from regulars though. So if you want something just ask, they might add!

I love this store!They have everything you need in a pinch; produce, liquor/beer/wine, household goods, snacks, drinks etc.The people who own this place are wonderful and truly a gem in the community! Ice cream and wine selection is awesome! If you're looking to grab a snack and head to Golden Gate park or live in the area and need something to eat or drink, this is the best spot!
