Mainstay Markets, San Francisco CA

A bit pricey for some items like cereal but the staff is super friendly and knowledgeable about the food they sell
We stop in here in the middle of the week for fresh produce and bread
It’s nice to have a food store within walking distance
A nice food store to have in the neighborhood

I enjoy coming to Mainstay Markets. The staff here is always polite and courteous no matter what. Even this morning on Thanksgiving I came in to grab a fresh turkey sandwich and rice crispy treat and the lady at the checkout greeted me with a warm and friendly smile, courteous service and told me to have a great day which is super warm since I couldn’t be at home in Texas with my family for Thanksgiving.

Just wanted give my thanks on Thanksgiving!
Happy Thanksgiving Mainstay Markets team!

Be prepared to pay a hefty premium as prices are very high at this store. I only shop here when I absolutely must. I was alarmed to see photos of a black guy, a Muslim girl etc.pasted on the front door with messages like Stay out, not welcome etc. At first I thought it was bigotry, then I realized these people might have stolen something. Whatever the reason might be, this is not cool. Take those posters down. Did you prove they stole it in the court. Until then, it's illegal and id sue the store if I were them for defamation. Theft happens in almost all stores. No need to whine about it by posting pictures of alleged. When you see these people, just don't admit them. I won't be visiting the store as long as these posters are there.

Great grocery store. Diverse selection with reasonable prices. Owners are incredibly kind, and they always have smiles on their faces.

Dreams come true here. It will never matter how small that truth is if it enhances your life and your health. Like a pinch of spice that brings the flavor. Spirits are already bright here, and liquor coming soon. It's where I put in my performance steps.

I go here all the time. The store is awesome. I has items of all price points from gourmet to standard. The produce is always impeccable, in my experience. I also really like the cashiers. They are uplifting and are genuinely happy folks. They make shopping there enjoyable. Highly recommend for a lunch stop.
