S & S Grocery

A great corner market, only it’s not on the corner.
I’m not dissing the other, actually-​on-​the-​corner market down the street (Grant & Green Market), but essentially that’s the store for liquor, beer, & cigarettes; whereas S&S is the store for groceries.
They usually have all the flavors, even strawberry & pumpkin, It’s-It ice cream bars. And they carry both soy & almond milk, so you don’t have to make a special trip to The Nature Stop just for that. There’s also a surprising number of options for frozen dinners. My old roommate loved the Stouffer’s lasagna… or basically anything Stouffer’s that they had. She had me hooked for awhile. Remember being able to eat whatever you want without any physical ramifications? Sigh.
But now the best part…
they always have hard boiled eggs available at the counter. Everyday. One egg will set you back 65 cents. That’s just over what I’m charged to make my latte w soy milk. And it’s less than what I’m charged to make my latte w almond milk. A nice shot of protein for practically pennies?! Yes, please!
The same family has owned & run this place since the 90’s. Love.
5 stars.

Great store with wide selection despite the smallness of the place. They sell specialty products like soy milk and almond milk, which is often not the case in corner stores. They also carry helpful stuff, everything from umbrellas to Benadryl. People there are very friendly and helpful; for example, they’ll break a large bill without yelling at you. I find it super-​convenient because they seem to have everything I need and are always open!

Ideal neighborhood grocery store.
They’ve got all you need here… from beer, wine and any/​all grocery essentials.
Excellent if you’re traveling & might have forgotten something. Convenient if you live or are staying in the neighborhood.
5 stars for the really friendly & helpful service here. That sort of effort is not lost on me.

Been coming here for years because the people are easy to deal with and very friendly. Will always come here because its close to my house.

It’s a nice little corner store. I was looking for some ingredients for my dinner. They have a lot of basics and booze. Their selection of fresh fruits and vegetables is very limited so you can just walk another block down to the Nature Shop.
There is also an ATM in case you need cash. The grocery takes cash and credit for totals more than $ 5. The lady at the cash register was really nice and asked me if I was new to the neighborhood. We chatted a little about North Beach and she welcomed me to the neighborhood.
Prices are little higher than you would find at a place like Safeway but when you factor in that you don’t have to travel very far or pay for public transportation or gas for your car or parking, it all evens out.

Great corner store, open late, fresh food. They always have some show on the TV above the chips. They have a frisky white cat that loves his picture taken and I love taking his photo. I forgot his name, but that brings me back as well as the owners are very nice

Its a corner store.
The guys who work here are cool and know my name. The sell 40’s and the other store on the block doesn’t, which is the only reason I’ve been coming here for 3 years.
There is a pet cat and a 100 year old man who does all the heavy lifting.

The perfect corner store. Friendly staff, every random thing you might need, and normally reasonable prices. I go there at least once a week for odds-​and-​ends.

, Always a good place to catch the end of a game or some odd soap opera. Beers are always well stocked. Some veggies. Sour strips. Big winners. Lucky the cat. Its been all good the Somthing-​n-​Somthin’ from the start.

This is my local source for the monthly fast pass — they always have them. Nice, friendly people working here.

Friendly staff. Hilarious white cat that likes to run out in the morning and swipe at my dog’s tail, then run back to the safety of the store. HA!
They always, always have the flavor of ice cream that is the only flavor my son really likes.
They pack a lot of stuff into this tiny store, and you can find pretty much anything you may need in a pinch here: SOS pads, wine, the aforementioned ice cream, sodas, etc.
Oh and you can buy MUNI fast pass here, and not deal with the crabby MUNI people at the Montgomery St station. Yay!

Love the friendly staff. Good hours if you get off work late. They pack a lot of stuff into a little space and that saves me from having to truck too far if I run out of one or two things.
Also, very cool all white cat with blue eyes hangs out in front waiting to pounce on unsuspecting dogs. Love it.

Small. Oddly lit. Smells weird.
But come on, it’s a great little corner grocery store.
I had to review it because I went in there today and this guy was shouting: «I’VE ALREADY GOT ENOUGH CONDOMS AT HOME! I DON’T NEED TO BUY ANYMORE CONDOMS!»
Well anyway…

Really great little neighborhood place. I’m in there almost every day to get something I ran out of and am too lazy to walk to Walgreen’s or Safeway, so the guy knows my name which is always a plus.
Prices are reasonable, selection is strange but wide.

I recently started stopping off here on the way home or during laundry for their various «out the door» specials on 24 tall boys and I can’t complain. My current recommendation is the $ 1.50 Tecate. Stay away from the $ 1.25 MGD. It’s not worth the 25 cents savings. Drink-​on-​the-​street bag provided with no asking, as expected. Seems to have a good selection and service is fast.

They have a basic selection of items that keeps me from walking to Walgreen’s or Safeway down on Bay. Their prices are reasonable and the owners are friendly. Beware, some employees don’t speak english which makes it really hard to ask if they have laxatives.. .ewww

Are you kidding me? The best neighborhood grocery in… well… the neighborhood.
