    Even though the Boudin Bakery is in the touristiest part of town and many would call it a tourist trap, it’s hard not to at least stop in and check out the various odd sourdough breads on display. The bread itself is quite good and you can watch the bakers shaping them.

    They not only sell various breads but also a nice selection of local cheeses and salamis. It’s not cheap but it is primo quality stuff and not really much more expensive than at the super market. If you’re at the Wharf and see the bridge is in full view, grab some supplies and head over there either on foot or bus, and have a nice picnic.

    Groceries / Markets: Ferry Plaza Farmer's Market

    I was excited about and really looking forward to attending the Farmer's Market at the Ferry Building. I'm a foodie and the thought of looking through fresh, ripe California produce that we normally get shipped green or flavorless to Canada was well, as exciting as finding a silk skirt at Banana Republic for $25.00 marked down from $125.00, but that's a different story. The Farmer's Market runs from May to October, and is Tuesdays 10 - 2 pm and Thursdays, 4-8 pm; and Saturdays and Sundays. The Thursday Night Market is really fun as the vendors are inside the Ferry Building, and there is music and there's a festive atmosphere.

    What we liked: GL Alifieri Farms -- They sell farmer grown fruit and nuts; the best thing to buy are the almonds and almond butter. The almond butter is so fresh that it has not separated ( apparently almond butter or other natural nut butters that have separated are quite old) Make sure to buy the honey-roasted almonds, they taste so buttery and good. Frog Hollow Farms -- The taste of tree-ripened organic peaches, so wonderful you'll think of the other word that starts with "org". They also have a shop in the Ferry Building open daily We also bought Black Mission Figs, so ripe and sweet they were cracking, tomatoes that were as sweet as plums, and slices of sun-dried tangerines -- you eat them skin and all! The vendors are very generous with samples, so if you want, you'll have lunch or dinner covered.

    It’s finally here! April 26, 2003 marked the opening of the permanent home for the Embarcadero Farmers Market at the new plaza of the historic Ferry Building!! In addition to the Farmers Market, a collection of elite, artisanal food shops and restaurants have begun to fill the spaces inside transforming the Ferry Building into a great public market in the tradition of Seattle’s Pike Place Market, Vancouver’s Granville Island and New York’s Grand Central Terminal.

    bread, fruits and vegetables, cheese, seafood, wine, meat, tea, olive oil, chocolates, kitchen supplies, etc.

    How much you spend will be up to you!

    Groceries / Markets: San Francisco "convenience" store
  • Tip Rating:
  • This is a typical small grocery store that you will find in many areas of San Francisco. They are quaint and original...unlike many of the chain convenience stores like am/pm.

    Groceries / Markets: Groceries - don't bother
    In an attempt to save money, hubby and I booked a room with a little kitchenette, and planned to get groceries and make our own breakfasts and lunches while in SF. This tactic totally backfired. Maybe we just weren't in the know about where to shop, but we found the groceries in SF pretty expensive (especially when the Cdn:US exchange rate wasn't very good at the time). Often restuarant food was actually cheaper. If I had to do it over again, I'd just eat out all of the time. I also learned on that trip that for me eating out and trying new foods is one of the things I enjoy most about travelling.

    Groceries / Markets: Farmers Market
    Hungry for some fresh, organic (mostly), California grown produce? The Ferry Plaza Farmers Market has been serving SF residents since 1993. It is opened twice a week: - Tuesdays from 10am to 2pm; - Saturdays from 8am to 2pm. All farmers who sell at the market are certified as producers by the counties where they grow. The County Agricultural Inspector visits the farm during production to confirm that the farmer is growing what they claim to be. All products that are not produced on a farm (or sold by a farmer) are sold in a non-certified, adjunct portion of each market. NOTE: The Market does not sell decorative crafts, apparel and jewelry, books and such. Food ONLY. TO GET THERE: By bus on MUNI ''F'' line; by bike; BART or MUNI subway. Parking spots nearby.
