Fruit Barn

I really hope the best for this little shop, I love the location and the prices by safeway, target, walgreens and whole foods are not very far. These mom and pop shops are what keep this area a «family» neighborhood and not a Financial District.
With that in mind, they do have reasonable prices, fresh produce and what’s more amazing is that they sell feta cheese by the pound which is rare nowadays from family owned produce markets.
However, I do see a lot of potential in the store location. I feel like this store could hold more products and Produce and they have lots of unused space.

She’s gotten much better, lol did she read this? But, the prices are unbeatable. YEAH!

I’ve got a lot of love for this place because it’s my neighborhood grocer. But that’s just what it is: a small grocery store with your basic produce at a decent price. You probably won’t be wowed by the freshness or the selection, and this isn’t a specialty mart you’d go out of your way for. If you live within walking distance, however, you’ll be glad you can always pick up onions, apples, zucchinis, milk and more for a fair price. Plus, it’s a much better choice than the place down the street, which has more expensive produce and awful service.
That being said, the produce here can be a hit or miss. This place doesn’t seem to move products at a fast enough pace, so you’re going to find things here like green potatoes and moldy onions. Generally, though, this little grocer is dependable enough and I can usually just pick the fresher-​looking stuff while avoiding the bad apples (har).
Parting words:
— Credit card minimum is $ 5.
— I’ve seen a homeless man use his hand to scoop out and eat the bulk nuts. Buy at your own risk.
— To management: Please keep the lemons and limes inside. Most of the ones I’ve bought were dried out from being in the sun.

The owner is funny guy that will share with you. He had me try a raspberry chocolate bar with him. Then he told me that I made good choices on my groceries. The store itself is small but there are a lot of goodies to choose from. Ample fruits outside and lots of nuts and vegetables inside. Just your local grocery with the necessities.

You will not regret shopping here. It’s right up the street, I pass by it to and from school, and the staff is very friendly. As far as fresh fruits and vegetables go you can’t do better.
Case in point: The other day I purchased enough spring mix for a salad to feed 5 people and it cost me less than $ 2. Beat that, Trader Joes (still love me some TJ’s though.)
Anyway go here for your produce whenever you get the chance.

Riddle me this: Where else in this fine city can you buy…
2 fuji apples
3 mangoes
2 plums
1 pint cherry tomatoes
3 ears corn
6 Persian cucumbers
1 orange bell pepper
2 small avocados
¾ pound banana chips
…All for under $ 15? The Fruit Barn has been the savior of my stomach, and budget, since I love to gorge myself on fresh produce whenever possible. Everyone working there is so ridiculously kind and helpful, I feel like I’m visiting friends every time I stop by. The only downside is that you do need to shop carefully, as quality can sometimes be a bit lacking. Pick through the bruised apples, check to make sure none of the tomatoes or berries have gone moldy, and you’ll walk out with a healthy haul.

Unfortunately Fruit Barn is now under new management or ownership and the quality of it’s produce is slipping. After seeing too many wilted greens along with visibly rotting tomatoes and oranges, I’ll be biting the bullet and getting my produce at Safeway or the weekend Farmers Market

Absolutely love this place. Nice staff and fantastic produce!

This is the best produce market in Ingleside and beyond!
I stocked up on all of my fruit and vegetables here– very reasonable prices and very fresh and good quality. They have natural and healthy options for breads and pastas and beyond… The owner is very nice and takes good care of the market and needs of the shoppers.

Neat place with a great selection of food items including organic fruit & snacks! Dairy (milk & different kinds of cheeses) and pasta! Also unique international items. A sign near the register conveys a minimum of $ 5 for credit/​debit. Friendly staff. ***Though I did spot a somewhat large furry «creature» darting from the front corner once (!) — that was startling! Despite that, I’ll still re-​visit to grab essentials though I’ll be sure to wear closed-​toed shoes!

I like heading over after the gym. Cheaper produce that’s pretty fresh. I get my avocados here!

I just looooove Fruit Barn. I get all my veggies and fruit here. They have a great selection of pasta/​grains etc too. I’m also happy I can get some rare international goodies here as well. Prices are reasonable, service is friendly — what else could I wish for?

This place is awesome! Great veggi and fruit selection. Fresh, local, and reasonably priced. Some organic options. The owner and the cashiers are very nice people. It is an unpretentious great neighborhood place.

This is a quaint local produce market, you can get your basics from. The produce is more extensive though. This is where I filter out of Whole Foods to find less popular produce like chayote and radishes. Sometimes, they have organics WF doesn’t too. No organic tomatoes at WF right now, but Fruit Barn has organic Romas! They also have a nice selection of live herbs too, and the prices are reasonable.

They now take five stars rewards, woohoo! You get a point for every $ 10 you spend, and a $ 10 coupon every time you earn 10 points.

great market, great produce and at great prices.
Takis is the nicest owner and keeps the place stocked with great produce daily and somehow keeps the prices down.

he has organic apples, berries, the rest doesn’t matter (bananas, mangos, etc) and he has greek yoghurt (which I suggested he carry) and I like talking to him even though I kid him that he should speak english to me (he has an accent). I still go to Whole Foods up the street for Goat Kefir which I don’t expect him to carry. He is a great neighborhood business and I hope he is still there for another 10 years at least.

Prices were okay. Better than Safeway or Luckys but still its a small store, so selection is limited.

Never going to Whole Foods again! Fruit Barn has cheaper prices for better quality fruits and veggies. The regular cashier girl is super friendly and fun.
Support small business!!!

Fruit Barn rules. The produce here is mostly local and far cheaper than Safeway or the new Whole Foods on ocean (duh). Tomatoes are always less than $ 1/​lb. Apples, spinach, mushrooms, and milk are cheap too. Plus Fruit Barn has that special «little Mom-​and-​Pop in the big city» charm. LOVE!
