Why locals recommend it
Thanks to Gordon, the cheese buyer, the selection in this worker-owned co-op is phenomenal. He often judges cheese competitions and writes cheese books. He can tell fabulous stories about each cheese and cheesemaker. This store is an example of a community-minded slice of San Francisco. If you were driving by, under the freeway, you’d think it was a warehouse. They’re always bringing in interesting cheeses, so don’t be afraid to try something new. Find Gordon—or anyone who works in the cheese department—and ask them to suggest something.

Tips from locals
Rainbow is a wonderful local grocery, worker-owned, where you can buy organic and bulk foods, as well as health supplements, soaps, regular packaged foods such as cereal, cheese, dairy, etc. Walking distance if you're a NYC walker, or bus (12 Folsom) or Lyft ride away.
Co-op grocery that's open to all. Great bulk section and amazing cheeses. Everything is 100% vegetarian.
