This is one of the very few stores in San Francisco that I like in Noe Valley.There is a homey feeling inside and this is partly because most of the employees are in the same family. Service is very fast and friendly. It really stands out in Noe Valley —which is comprised mainly of snotty yuppies—and whose pretentious restaurants, stores and so forth are staffed by aloof people who are really taken with themselves. Moreover, everyone here speaks English, despite many being foreign born. The prices are low, too,
Nice store with healthy options but they don’t accept calfresh/ebt which automatically excludes certain clientele and leaves families with children who need basic produce to go out farther for those foods. What a shame, with plenty of families in the area I don’t see why they don’t have this service. At this point it leads me to conclude they choose to not service people in need or are too lazy to go through the process to be certified. And even though Whole Foods is around the corner, it’s a burden to not be accepted.
I have known Shufat since I was 13 years old & my family moved to Noe Valley. My mom used to own a clothing shop on 24th & Castro so I would walk down to Shufat Market nearly every day to buy snacks. Everyone who works there is very friendly. There have been a few times late at night that I have called on the phone & Shufat stayed open waiting for me to arrive. Nowadays I do my best to give them my business whenever I can.
Locally owned West coast bodega. The owners work their tails off and are some of the friendliest people you will ever meet. They make great sandwiches on the spot, always have a kind word to say and if your short a few bucks, if your a local, don't worry about it. They treat you like family.
