Wowzah what a selection. Love the bulk section. Kinda expensive but it’s cool.
Edit - Artisana hazelnut cacao granola is pretty good. Not too sweet, not super nutty, but the dried berries are a nice touch.

Rainbow Grocery is still an SF favorite. Decades of quality groceries and the store is just about the same. Parking is generally easy with a short wait. The grocery selection is immense and prices are fair.
