“I truly love this place. It is STUNNINGLY beautiful and always well stocked. For a place its size, it has such a large variety of goods. Also, I absolutely love the amount of local Bay Area brands they carry! The owners are always so helpful and they even sell their own homemade salsas (the green salsa is my absolute favorite)! 10/10 would recommend.”

“This store is awesome! Although it's located in a tough neighborhood, and some from their customer base are unpredictable, the store employees maintain a level of helpfulness and professionalism which makes shopping with them very pleasant. The store is well stocked with such a varied selection of grocery items you would think they needed are larger places. The prices for their store items are not inflated as such is the case with some stores close to that location. Very nice and attentive staff. You won't be disappointed after shopping at Amigos.”

“Expect a few fist fights over parking - this place is crazy busy. Excellent variety of grocery store goodness. Good place to stop if you have a recipe that requires a hard to find ingredient. Expect to spend some time in the beer aisle. The bakery looked pretty awesome but I can't confirm the taste.”

“I enjoy this location because it's on your way to the Bay area and not too far away from the freeway. We usually stop to load up on snacks for the airport. Thai chili almonds and dried mangos are our favorites.”

“Love this store and all those who work here. Open till 2, which is awesome! Fair pricing, and the owner is very nice! Highly recommend. It’s my neighborhood go-to bodega!”

“Good neighborhood market with a decent selection of high-quality items, as well as a meat/deli/meal/coffee counter in the front. I wish it wasn't so cramped (could likely be helped by placing a wraparound/snaking line/queue area by the registers instead of letting all of the aisles feed directly into the register area), but it's not enough of an issue to keep me from coming back.”

“I have been here a few times mostly for a coffee and pastry. I have had their babka pastry, chocolate croissant and the yummy bacon and cheese pastry.

What inspired me to write this review though is the service I received today. I called the store to ask if they had forbidden rice. The owner went and looked for me and they had it. But it gets better. As I was there I realized I needed some mirin for a dinner I was to prepare tonight. He said he didn’t have any in the shelves. Then he said he could help me anyway. He went to the back at the sandwich service counter and had a big bottle of it for the food he prepares. He asked me how much I needed and handed me a paper bowl of mirin!! He, the owner, went out of his way like that was awesome. I will continue to patronize this market. Yay for local neighborhood businesses! ??”

“As a loyal customer of Safeway for many years, I can confidently say that this supermarket chain consistently delivers a top-notch shopping experience. Whether I need to restock my pantry or shop for fresh produce, Safeway has become my go-to destination for all my grocery needs.The first thing that stands out about Safeway is its convenient locations. I appreciate having a store nearby, making it easy to pop in for last-minute items or to do a full weekly grocery run. The stores are clean, well-organized, and the layout is designed for efficient shopping, which saves me time during busy days.One of the reasons I keep coming back to Safeway is their commitment to affordability and coupons. The just for U® program, in particular, offers personalized deals and discounts based on my shopping habits, making it a fantastic money-saving tool.”

“Bigger than the TJ's by my house in Oakland this location is more of what you've come to love about Trader Joe's. A very busy location during peak hours so prepare to wait in line to check out, but the line moves quickly. Friendly staff, very accommodating.”

“Visited Trader Joe's once a day. Since San Fran is so expensive, it feels like a place with relatively reasonable prices. It was a shame there was no whiskey
In general, the Fuji apples were delicious, and the bananas and peanut jam were really cheap.”

“I recently visited the grocery outlet in Richmond, and I was pleasantly surprised by their very low prices and a large variety of various products. Also when I went to pay, I got a cashier name Diana it was not only very friendly, but extremely efficient and extremely quick She thanked me very politely and warmly when we were done, and she was a real breath of fresh air. I had a wonderful experience due to her professionalism and friendliness”

“Loved recently learning about this establishment- I have yet to go in! From the exterior they looked friendly and offer fresh produce in an area that used to be heavily industrial with limited options in healthier foods. I would totally support if I’m back in the area!

“The last time I came here was over 4 years ago, and yet I still randomly think about their watermelons to this day; they’re that good. Get the large, almost perfectly black ones if you see them. It’s worth the price”

“Calling all herbalists, natural/organic, and bulk nuts, seeds, and teas lovers. The Food Mill is a literal heaven!! Wanna buy organic black beans, Medjool dates, gogi berries, butterscotch chips or dried lavender IN BULK? Come through! Everybody who works there is so helpful and welcoming. Their store-made crunchy peanut butter is also my kryptonite. Parking could use some work, but I usually have no problem snagging street parking. I am a stan.”

“This is the best place to buy freshly cut flowers....they last a very long long time and inexpensive compared to Safeway (no bueno) or Whole Foods (about $5 more and usually all open). I love lilies and they last over 10 days to 2 weeks! Enjoy!”

“This is the best grocery store in the area. I travel 30 minutes to shop here. Well worth it. Some of the freshest & hugest selection of fruits & vegetables to be found under one roof.

“Sharif’s is my spot! And has been for as long as I’ve been living in West Oakland. My go to for my morning coffee, paper, drinks, fresh veggies and ice cream..and of course lil here-and-there’s like hot sauce, noodles, air freshener, TP, etc. Whole family who runs it are good folks, and they keep their store stocked and make sure they ask their customers what we need or would like to see them in keep in stock. They recently renovated/expanded the interior, and it looks awesome! Super spacious, more fridges, new slushy machines, and revamped fresh veggie section amongst other nice upgrades. Love these guys. Quintessential neighborhood corner market.”

“Snowflake beef? We definitely needed that in our hot pot mix for Christmas! And while we're at it, gotta try the pork belly and lamb too!All of it was high quality, *melt-in-your-mouth* meat. After waiting in line for an hour, my cousin snagged 5 lbs of fatty cow, 3 lbs of lamb and 2 lbs of pork belly and the 14 of us could barely finish half. She said it's a one man show: meat cut to order and the dude's handling the cashier portion too. Totally worth it....except this is coming from someone who didn't wait in line. Thanks, cuzzo!”

“Outstanding Customer Service - A True 5-Star Experience!

Store Location: Trader Joe's #0078 Address: 555 9th Street, San Francisco, CA Phone: (415) 863-1292

Date of Experience: Tuesday, June 10, 2025, at 2:00 PM PST

After being unwell for over three weeks with a stomach virus, I forced myself to make the 30-minute walk to this Trader Joe's location to stock up on groceries. I am so grateful I chose this store!

From the moment I walked through the doors, every team member I encountered was professional, courteous, and genuinely helpful. In today's retail environment where mediocre service is the norm, this level of care was truly refreshing.

Special Recognition for Éle:

I want to highlight an exceptional floor associate named Éle, who was stocking in the frozen food section. Despite being clearly busy with her tasks, she took the time to patiently answer my many questions about various frozen products. What impressed me most was her complete focus and attention - she maintained eye contact throughout our conversation and never seemed rushed or distracted.

Éle's genuine engagement made me feel valued as a customer, which honestly made me want to purchase more items. Her outstanding customer service perfectly embodies Trader Joe's Mission Statement and Core Values of integrity, community care, and providing exceptional value.

I was so impressed that I spoke with the manager to commend Éle's performance. Her sales skills and genuine decency are exactly what make Trader Joe's stand out from other grocery stores.

Why This Matters:
As someone who has stopped shopping at many San Francisco stores due to excessive security measures that create an unwelcoming atmosphere, Trader Joe's feels like a breath of fresh air. The entire team creates an environment that is safe, welcoming, and respectful - exactly what shopping should be.

Whatever Trader Joe's is doing to train and support their employees, it works brilliantly. This location truly delivers on their promise of outstanding value through quality products, everyday prices, and exceptional service.

Thank you for taking the time to read this review. Trader Joe's #0078 has earned every star of this 5-star rating!

“I came across this market one morning looking for some produce, and mostly come back for the customer service as overall stock is pretty limited. After dropping off my oldest daughter, my youngest and I will come by for a coffee and small treat and just enjoy watching people Chat at the tables out front. Such a sweet little environment.”
