K & D Market

One of the best liquor stores in the Mission! Large selection of booze, sodas, snacks, household goods, hardware, etc. Topping it off is a deli counter and frozen yogurt! Street parking only… But on a hot day in SF this is a place to grab a cold snack and something to take home!
I’ll be back sometime soon for sure!

honestly the worst convenience store I have ever been in. (and I have been in a lot!)
1.) the lady that works here is rude
2.) I don’t understand a place that doesn’t take credit cards nor has an atm machine. IT DOESN’T MAKE ANY SENSE!!!
3.) disorganized and store has lack of products.

This guy will swindle you. He thought I was dunk and did not give correct change. Disappointing.

Strawberry & Pumpkin It’s It seen Sun 10÷19÷14 $ 1.99 ea.

Being out all weekend id not had a chance to grocery shop. After some biz meetings in the area, i dropped in to get some goods for the week. A minor amount of food stuffs, lots of beverages. Many folks coming in and out for booze mainly. Didnt get anything i needed but definitely a reference for future drink runs

What an excellent deal! I was quoted $ 14.99 for a 6-​pack of Lagunitas Pilsner — record price for a local beer! After taking into account the necessary mark-​up I courteously indulge most family operated corner stores to stay in business, I instantly wondered why the mark-​up was 4 dollars higher than anywhere else in the neighborhood. After a bit of research, I discovered that this corner store in particular has been around since the 80’s and, judging by it’s strict yet awkward «cash only» rule, I’d say it is doing pretty well for itself and whatever sales tax fraud it has functioned under for decades.
«Very good high quality beer,» the helpful man at the register assured me, «very good price.»
Now, I know I look pretty stupid (my droopy lip is hereditary), and I may not look like a local (I wear out-​of-​state football jerseys) but I’ve come here before and the prices were different and my guess is that they will be inconsistent each time. So either I actually AM an ignorant doofus from out-​of-​town or this guy (the owner, so I’ve read) is incredibly «creative» at pricing. In this sense, he is the Vincent van Gough of 16^th street! Because, contrary to the style of corner stores surrounding, K & D market isn’t afraid to tap deep into a darker place, less friendly than the rest, even if it means putting patrons second.
And, like van Gough, K & D’s last words might just be, «The sadness will last forever.»

If you can nag ate between the crackheads and hipsters and get out alive, this is a great store to buy your cheap liquor. 2 packs of cigarettes, a bottle of Bacardi, and a big bottle of grape soda later and you’ve got a party in a bag!

pretty good layout. pretty good amount of supplies. close to where I live so I end up going here fairly frequently. But your cash only policy is ridiculous especially since your shady atm is probably a festering pit for identity theft. I want to like you guys more, but it’s not worth coming here. Cash only for groceries and cleaning supplies and booze? Seriously you need to reconfigure this

K & D looks like an old style liquor store that also sell groceries.

Fantastic beer selection, and I’m willing to put up with the so-​so wine selection.
But wait… no cards? Sucks! Because aside from that major oversight, this place is the nicest liquor store on the street.

K&D has the best frozen yogurt around! They are a one stop shop! K&D’s peanut butter frozen yogurt is delicious! I have a sweet tooth so I stop by there just for their frozen yogurt. They now have 6 flavors!
Peach, pomegranate, chocolate, vanilla, peanut butter, and mango. They have numerous toppings to go with your yogurt!
Not to mention their wine selection is quite good. Try their Forest Glen Merlot 2003!!! Thier prices are unbeatable!!!
K&D also sell illy coffee!!! Grab some yogurt, illy coffee, and wine for later!!!
They try to have everything you need and the store is always clean!

I’m on a strict fitness regimen these days. It consists of 1) lots of exercise, and 2) consuming «food» and «drink» packed with mysterious, unpronounceable ingredients. K & D Market is my ally on the latter front, as they sell fat free frozen yogurt! Five stars for a random stroke of genius in a hole in the wall convenience store that is at least a dozen blocks from the nearest froyo place.
Disclaimer: I have never purchased Tecate here, nor have I patronized the store at night when the allegedly surly man is there. I have no input on the question of electrocution by beer can, nor on the existence of crazy mofo.

On any other street or at any other spot on 16^th Street, K & D Market wouldn’t warrant a review or even a mention. So what’s the big deal? It’s just a hole in the wall, but it’s a hole in the wall right across from Pakwan.
Again, the big deal?
K & D sells a solid selection of beer (for a convenience store) which you can pick up while you’re waiting for your order to be ready at Pakwan. When you walk back in to eat at Pakwan with your bundle of joy, swaddled in a brown paper bag and nestled peacefully in your arms, Pakwan will great you with a bottle opener and let you nurse your new addition at the table.
Mazel tov. Or Shabh Kamna. I think.

K & D has installed a froyo machine, two flavors (chocolate and original tart), cheap ($ 2.25 for a small), generous portions and plenty of toppings. When the rain comes, and I’m out of ice cream at home, this will be my go to spot.

Regardless of the expiration dates on their cereal (it’s a bodega dudes, chill out) this place gets five stars from me because they were the first ever business to host the Carrot Mob! Check it out at
. At least they care about changing their ways, and making this particular establishment a little bit more environmentally friendly. Boo yah.
When given a choice of where to buy my beer (decent selection here) and organic peanut butter (they recently sold out), I will always choose the business that cares about doing a little good.

Every time I have been inside this store the owner has been inordinately rude to someone. Rude like it’s too much to ask of him to take my money in exchange for his lackluster goods. Rude like I’m some derelict off the streets trying to shoplift.
Rude, Rude, Rude.
One extra star for the convenience of being almost across the street from my friends’ street but I honestly dread coming here.

So when I first started living in the area I thought that Danny hated me… but now and then, he cracks a smile. One of the best things about him is that he shares my serious dislike of change, specifically pennies. He always rounds up my change so that I don’t have a bunch of pennies in my pocket/​purse/​wallet. Gotta love that.
The lady who works during the day always has to tell me what new ice creams they have, and then goes on to say that it doesn’t really matter because her favorite is Haagen Daz Sticky Toffee Pudding. That made me add the fourth star, because it’s my favorite too.

Not the best selection of stuff if you have to live nearby and rely on it for ‘emergency necessities’. But, if you are drunk & need a bag of chips or are on the way home after the bar closes and you have to get one last case of booze, well then, K&D is a Godsend.

this place has many nicknames… none of which are suitable for this g-​rated website. The much maligned owner deserves his reputation, and I will vouch he is a nasty lying landlord as well. He has been a most unfriendly greedy pig presence on 16^th for decades, and I’ll never forgive or forget his ruining one particular sunny Saturday afternoon in the late 80’s. He was violently searching & threatening a young woman and accusing her of stealing some toothpaste she had purchased at Rainbow. Sadly, he didn’t realize in his rage that he did not even carry that brand… It was «Tom’s of Maine» not the usual substandard crap that lines his dusty depressing mouse turd lined aisles… SAD! I haven’t spent a dime there since, and advise you do the same…

My personal experience with this place has been really good, and I frequent this store almost daily since I live nearby.
Sure, the owner guy can kind of be a jerk, but he’s really nice once you develop a rapport with him. His name’s Danny and he’s been running that store for years, and he even used to own the now defunct Dr. Bombay’s bar (which is now «Cama», ick!) accross the street. I think he’s just a little crazy… probably from managing a liquor store in the Mission! I’ve seen him chase a thief from his store once or twice myself, but shit, if someone stole from me, I’d wanna go after them too.
Their prices on cigarettes are reasonable, and they have an decent selection of beer and wine too. They also have just about every flavor of Ben and Jerry’s ice cream!
Fours stars because Danny sometimes starts telling stories (usually involving his stint in the Korean Army) to me when I’m in a rush.
