This review is for Luke's Beet Salad with Bulgar Wheat and Toasted Chickpeas. Yes it's $15. I don't care. Beets, za'atar, radicchio, spinach, sultanas, cucumber, bulgar, red onions and toasted chickpeas in an amazing tahini dressing. Just phenomenal. I think it's past time for a Luke's Local cookbook!

Nice specialty grocery store in the neighborhood. Expensive for basic ingredients but nice to have nearby when we quickly need something. Staff is friendly

I ordered the California Banh Mi sandwich with pork. They ran out of French bread and my sandwich was on a sourdough roll. The taste is just okay compared to the other places in North Beach. If you want to order a sandwich, it is done from the coffee window outside and they are open until 7PM.
