Papa’s Market

We stayed right by this shop when in San Fran, and visited it pretty much every day, if not more than once a day. There was a good selection of basics — bread, drinks, snacks and prices seemed reasonable. The staff were always quick and efficient and helpful. For a wee corner shop, it did the job!

Recently was finishing an urban hike and ended up in this neighborhood.
Needed to hydrate so water was my mission. Having grown up in a family of small business owners, I love to support small markets. That shared…
Grabbed my h2o & while at the reg, I noticed they had djarum (cloves) which my alter ego very occasionally still likes a little sweet smelling vice.
«$ 9.15 for a pack?»
«Yes, that the cost everywhere» said the man behind the counter.
«Actually everywhere else they’re between $ 5-​$ 6» I shared.
not a major issue. I would just take the water that I came in for.
But he kicked attitude when I told him I didn’t want the cloves. He asked why. Said I thought the price was high. He jabbed [out loud!] «haha. Good for you then.»
Well it is good for me. I don’t patronize assholes. I walked out happily empty handed
BiG A-​hole alert.

The students attending the nearby schools would always come into this store and buy their sanwiches! If you ever come into this place, be sure to talk to the owners! They’re super friendly and helpful. I LOVE their wine selection! There are so many to choose from!
I don’t even know what Rachel B. is talking about. The couple running the store are willing to help you find your goodies :) I’ve seen their health inspection score: it’s over 90!
Clean, pretty, and ran well.

yummy sandwiches!

When a girl goes out in her pajamas on a Tuesday night for a pint of New York Super Fudge Chunk, she does not want a melted and refrozen pint of Half-​Baked. Selection: poor. Quality control: worse. Not that I didn’t eat the ice cream. But with every ice crystal that marred the creamy goodness I’ve come to expect from Ben and Jerry, I vowed that I would make Papa pay for this cruel disappointment.
