“This is my happy place. I love coming for the Magic Cream and the owner is really dope. He gives great suggestions plus he always has something new. Every visit you're bound to find a new hidden gem in here.”
“Did you know you can buy gold here? Also parking at Costco is always easy even though this one is located in a busy part of SOMA. If you arrive right when they open you might find yourself waiting in a line of people pushing empty carts waiting to get in.”
“Very helpful folks. This business probably primarily caters to professional plumbers, but they have been helpful to me when I needed things I couldn’t find at Home Depot.”
“A Costco on the coast,
Staff’s always on the post,
Yes there’s always deals,
The food’s a steal,
With a coastal beach view too!
(Sung in tune of Whalers on the Moon)”
“1. fyi, they accept apple pay. 2. fantastic place to browse/shop. no membership needed, and not everything is costco sized here - you can, for example, buy reasonable sized bottles of condiments/dressings/soy sauce/frozen seafood/juices/spam/corn nuts. yes, I buy my spam and corn nuts from here. prices range from "pretty darn good" to "omgosh I can't believe I can buy this for this cheap". 3. it's really interesting to see what kind of food most restaurants use. I don't think there's a single organic item sold here lol.”
“Always a pleasure working with this company, couldn't ask for a better team of professionals. They offer several options on all our buying needs and really work with us so we get the best deal. Since they have been around awhile they know it all!”
“Rubenstein plumbing is pro plumbing supply with the qualities of the old classic plumbing supply. You can call in and place your order, and they'll have it ready to pick up when you arrive. Friendly service as well. I would recommend this supply to any contractor.”
“This is my favorite place to get food in bulk. The quality and pricing can be beat! Recently needed to purchase alot of fruit for our Men's Prayer Breakfast. I went down that Friday afternoon to see low supply, and the employee told me to come back at 6AM to get fresh pickings. Wnen I did, everything I needed was there!”
“they open receiving at 10 pm you can come to market and pay to the security guard and wait inside the wearhouse after you pay 25$ cash fee . they let you park at front of docks .”
“I went to Oakland Flower Market to diy my bouquet and table arrangements for my wedding. Love love loved my flowers from here. They all lasted so long and looked beautiful. The people helping were so helpful and friendly. Would highly recommend!”
“Semi truck delivery review:
Come down Evans from Cesar Chavez - DO NOT turn on Napoleon.
Go down toland
Turn right onto Jarrold St
Turn right onto Napoleon
That'll set you up for sight side
They are appointment only and will not take early
No o/n parking on street.
Friendly and fast.”
“Very helpful, and had exactly what I needed to reupholster an antique chair. Kind and cheerful staff, and an absolutely excellent experience all around. Very affordable, too!”

“This 5-star rating is specific to one employee in the Tire Center, Nathan. I do not live in SF. I was visiting the city for a celebration when I noticed low tire pressure. More than anything, I dread going to a Costco on the weekend, particularly the SF location with its chaotic parking lot situation. Nevertheless, I did have to fill the low-pressure tires with air and noted that the self-serve air inflation was NOT working for one tire. I was able to ask a Tire Center employee if there was something wrong with the pressurized air device and was notified that it usually means the air pressure of the tire is too low. Since the matter was more than a self-serve situation where I needed additional help, I stood in line at the Tire Center for quite a while to ask one of the other tire staff for guidance: I was lucky enough to have NATHAN. Nathan did kindly advise me to keep the doorway clean, whereas another Tire Staff employee pushed a customer and their cart away from blocking the entrance. Nathan came and looked at my tire; he verified it was a recently purchased Costco tire and quickly found the source of the low pressure: a nail in the rear tire. While there was NO way that the already very busy staff could fix the tire at the moment, Nathan advised me on what to do and helped me to make the best of the situation that was safe for me and others. Nathan was so patient, sensible, and efficient (even when another desperate customer was trying to pull him away, Nathan was respectful to the other person and set him some boundaries: "I will help you next, sir," and he did. Nathan, you are a real one. I hope COSTCO recognize you as an exceptional employee. Costco SF, I tried to post this on your Costco.com website but could not find where to post the compliment, so here it is on Yelp. PS: I tried to tip Nathan, but he would not accept it per company policy.”
“They have all tobacco products, and their prices are amazing. They now offer exotic sodas and other great merchandise for smoke shops. T-shirts, Blackwood merchandise, lighters, Cigars.... This place has amazing service and will take requests for pre-orders and deliver. So happy to find this place!!! The service is quick and assistance is available to the vehicle when needed. Security at front with safe parking. Thanks a million guys !”

“The last time I was at Costco I picked up several bottles of various red wines and two bottles of the same white, accidentally. I gave one of the whites to my book group hostess and plan to give the other to my neighbors. I liked all the reds so when I had drunk them all I decided to return to Costco to buy more. When I brought one bottle to dinner w/ my next door neighbors' last week they told me that a friend of theirs had purchased a Kirkland brand Châteauneuf-du-Pape which was reasonably priced and excellent. This year's supply is sold out, so we'll have to wait until next year. Today I chose several more bottles, some new to me and some repeats from my last purchase. The prices of Costco wines range from inexpensive to OMG, so there's something for every pocketbook. I'm not sure whether they offer a case discount because I've never bought a case there. Trader Joe's doesn't and BevMo does. I have a dim and possibly untrustworthy memory of buying half a case at Costco and being offered a discount, but either my memory is faulty or they no longer do that because I wasn't offered one today. In any event, the wines are good and I like supporting Costco.”
“I have to comment that the low star reviews I am seeing here are obviously being made by individuals who do not realize that they are showing up at a wholesale warehouse geared toward serving tradesmen. The fact that McMurray is still even willing to assist people with small walk-in orders is a well appreciated convenience, which is totally lost on these naive reviewers. You can usually learn so much more about the typical negative reviewers themselves thru their self privileged language than any " info" they claim to be sharing about the reviewed business itself. MacMurray Pacific has served me very well as a small shop cabinetmaker for the past 35 years with very knowledgeable, friendly, and efficient sales staff and will call individuals. For a long time, they had very little turnover, and the will call guys often moved upstairs to sales, so they apparently treated their workers fairly enough for them to stick around. I sympathize immensely with the businesses that, these days, have to accept that they can be falsely "reviewed" by these clueless self-absorbed hacks. Check out their excellent website, ask for a catalog when you are there, I think they still print one every five years or so, then call in an order for will call and show up with some patience for the fact that you're not the only person they are serving. In my experience, if you are unsure of the most appropriate hardware for your project, a sales person will usually be willing to take the time to give you some advice/ suggestions if you are patient with their time because they are usually very busy with large orders and it's well worth any wait because they have a lot of knowledge about the available hardware.”

“Be aware, the pharmacy closes at 7:30pm M-F even though the store is open later. The staff were very friendly and helpful in getting my last minute prescriptions filled before closing.”
“I recently had an issue with my 1998 Honda CRV and I was pretty certain that it meant replacing the alternator, which I was told can be a rather expensive fix. I called around several mechanics in my area. Some wouldn't let me bring my own part (which I wanted to do to save a little money), some were too busy to fix it ASAP (which I wanted to do since I need my car to drive for my job and it didn't start at all). I called Salim at ASA and he was so patient and kind said I could bring the part since he didn't have it and he could probably do it by the end of the day (it was already about 1pm at that point and I still needed to get it towed to his place!). After getting it to his place he jumped into action and quickly realized, to my relief, it was the belt, not the alternator. He ordered the part quickly and got it in in a snap, staying late to make sure it was done properly. I asked if I should go ahead and replace the alternator and he was honest with me that it didn't need to be replaced (even though another mechanic might tell me to replace it as well since it's old so that he can charge more). Salim even called the next day to make sure the battery had charged properly overnight. I cannot recommend his service enough! He was very kind and capable and will go back to him with all of my mechanic needs, not just alternators and starters, in the future. Thank you!!”

“We enjoy shopping here. You just need to come early for fresh food. The popular food goes fast! The store is always clean, they move fast! They keep a good stick on most of their products! I shop in Sacramento for my co”
“I came here to buy some items from Jetro/Restaurant Depot, but unfortunately, they were closed. Google Maps showed that they were open, so I made the trip and ended up wasting some time. Still, I’m giving them 5 stars because the staff here are always so helpful and patient—I really appreciate that! Just kindly update your hours so customers don’t get confused. Thanks!”
“Always an easy stop for me. A little less.selection then the SJ store but good enough. Certain stock can be sporadic but that's just the way it is here in Cali right now. They didnt have any individual cream cheese packets when I went in and jo cases of zucchini.
The store is located in a not so nice part of town but they have an OPD officer parked in the parking lot all the time.
Overall, still a money and time saver
Don't try to get brisket here less than 7 days before a holiday... it will be all gone.”
“I was changing out my EV plug for a Hubbel brand NEMA 14.50 and my old faceplate didn't fit. Home Depot was useless, an employee recommended Bayshore.
These guys are fantastic! I am not an electrician, just a very handy individual. Bayshore knew exactly what my issue was and sold me just what I needed. I will definitely shop here again.”
