I love Bi-Rite Market; it is a superb market. Every touch point is well executed. This tiny store in between the Mission and the Castro is ideal for prepared foods or for your soire needs. In a small space, seasonal surprises abound—lots of organic choices: Hedgehog and Black Trumpet mushrooms, Turkish figs, Heirloom tomatoes, Jamon Serrano, Proscuitto, Bi-Rite ice cream; home of their famous salted caramel. There is a superb selection of cheese conveniently located next to their selection; they have an impressive collection in a very small space. I counted over 300 labels; from California to Burgundy.
I like the staff; friendly and engaging; the prepared foods are well done and you can’t help but want a taste of each item. I am a big fan because Bi-Rite succeeds on so many levels.
