Pine & Jones Market

Good dive. Jukebox. Dark and cozy. Locals. Fireplace. Not too pricey for SF bar. Service good. Not fancy but perfect if you want a dive.

One of the best, local, authentic corner shops in town. If you get the privilege of shopping there, do it !

Its about the People that work there & the neighbors that make the place welcoming. They make really good sandwiches

A true neighborhood market! Joe, dude running the place, is the nicest guy. I left my bike lock at home on Friday night and ended up at a nearby bar. I asked every local business in the area, included the bar I was spending money at, if I could store my bike in the back. 7 local businesses turned me down. Pine and Jones was the only place that didn’t hesitate to store my bike in the back for the night so it was safe.
Pine and Jones is the neighborhood market you want in your neighborhood and Joe is the guy you want running the market. Go shop here and support good local business.
Thanks Joe!

Overpriced. Food is old. Stale. And they don’t accept anything but cash. Here’s the kicker: if you don’t have cash they direct you to the STORE-​OWNED ATM. You withdraw cash and pay them another extra dollar on TOP of the overpriced groceries. Sorry to inconvenience you but here is another charge on top of that! I’m shocked that they have such audacity. Trader Joes, hurry up!!!

WTF is up with the tall balding guy who always wears sunglasses? He walks out on the sidewalks and just yells random sound and words in the air? Only this place would hire someone who just screams at people on the street. Get rid of this crazy. The owner called me baby last week as I dug for a hardly frozen It’s It. Also, over $ 2 for a liter of generic sparkling water… f off. Place is a rip off.

Is there some sort of unofficial competition in this city to see who has the most obnoxious corner market? In addition to a fleecing of $ 2.50 for a quart of milk I have to listen to a smart-​ass speech about what a fair price that is. Who needs this nonsense?
I can’t wait for Trader Joes to open up down on Hyde so I don’t have to put up with these crooks.

This place has character JUST because of JOE! I love shopping here, not only it is a block away from me but Joe makes the shopping fun. He is always recommending stuff and I must say he has a good taste ESPECIALLY when it is time to pick up a bottle of VINO!

(michelle helped write this… cuz this is how we roll)
so sure, I may have had about 40 cigarettes before writing this… my FIRST review ever! I was feeling pressured. Miche, how can I ever compete with her genius writing? I can’t— lets just accept it now.
So whatever, here we go… Get your seatbelts on kids, the fun is about to start.
This IS OUR STORE. Let me repeat that. OUR STORE. Not only does the owner lovvvvvvvvvvvvvvvve miche and I, but every 3^rd visit he tells us to go «pick out a magazine of our choice» for free. Its like he’s our dad giving us allowance for doing our chores. Our chores generally consist of buying a LOT of wine… a LOT of champagne. A moderate amount of vodka. An EXTREME amount of sparkling water and occasionally some cheese or rum or cat litter, or whatever.
this is how it usually goes down…
Sabra: (in best cali girl voice) «Miche, like I’m so totally like OMG like going to get some of this like Brie miche, what do you think? Does it make me look sexy or what?»
Miche: «OMG sabra, like we should totally OMG like buy this Brie sabra, like I’m totally in the mood and we are just soooo sexy tonight as usual. Duh!»
so we do. Then we try to leave. But there’s always a 20 – 30 minute discussion about our plans for the night with whoever is working… RAMI WE LOVE YOU. Andy… you’re the best store owner ever *secret older man crush*…Eddy oh Eddy… and pretty green eyed boy who only works on Sundays who likes to inform us on how old the sausages are. You KNOW how we roll baby. HA
then the highlight of the whole Pine & Jones Market experience is when Rami tells us good bye in his cheerful voice…“Good bye SUPERMODELS”…swear to God!
so anyway… This store is THE SHIT and has everything you need in our snobby Nob Hill yuppie lives. Oh because that’s where we live. Naturally in Nob Hill cuz that’s just how we roll.
Duh!

I was missing a good portion of chicken broth for my recipe so I figured to run down the street to grab some.
I didn’t have to drive and this is literally next to my bldg and all I had to do was exit through our parking garage and this store was right there. Stopped in for some canned chicken broth, they didn’t carry any in the carton form.
Prices are slightly higher but this is your neighborhood convenient store, at least for me. :)

this little market is across the street from my place and secretly doubles as a therapy center headed by Rami. i just pop over there when i need cold beers, cheap wine, orange vitamin water or life advice. poor Rami… he so works hard behind the counter every day till 1am. sometimes i come in and he’s sleep-​standing at the counter. i usually just wait and read a magazine till he wakes up… when he finally does, he’s very friendly. a great listener too… when he’s not sleeping, he acts as a therapist to all my crazy neighbors. i always find him intently listening to customers unbelievably F’ed up stories and problems. (no shame factor here, i’ve heard some really outrageous stuff) Rami just patiently nods and offers his heartfelt advice. every once in awhile he’ll look my way though… and roll his eyes. gotta love it. i really hope rami never leaves because if he does, the Pine & Jones Therapy Center will shut down and my loonytunes neighbors will go into utter chaos and mental mayhem. geez, where are the straightjackets when you need them?
