The Hummus Guy

I cannot even begin to describe how delicious the hummus is! It is divine!!! I love hummus and on occasion, I’m make my own. Last week was the first time I bought the Original hummus. I couldn’t get enough! I shared it with my co-​worker who was also amazed at how delicious and creamy the hummus was.
Every Wednesday is when the farmers market shows up at Civic Center in SF. I have been waiting an entire week for the Hummus Guy. I took my co-​worker and we each dropped $ 20 (buy four, get one free). I bought the following flavors: Original, Black Bean with Chipotle Harissa, Roasted Red Pepper, Habanero Lime Hummus, and Baba Ganooj. I love them equally. The hummus is so addicting. No joke, if you open one, you’ll want to finish it in one sitting. The pita bread and pita chips he makes are also delicious. You can really taste the quality in his food. Thanks Hummus Guy!

I bought a package of pita bread for $ 5 on Tuesday at the Napa Farmer’s Market. On Thursday I opened the package and the bread was already molded. This really pisses me off and being on a strict budget, it’s certainly not something I can afford.

Everything this guy makes is awesome. Me and my fiancé went to the farmers market by wells Fargo center last weekend, saw his stand and knew we’d be back. We got the lemon pita chips, avocado hummus, harissa, halva cacao, and of course baklava. Everything, and I mean EVERYTHING was awesome. I grew up on middle eastern food, my grandma has shopped at the same Syrian bakery since she was a little girl. I’ve eaten hummus and baklava forever and his baklava out right kills what I have had in the past. The hummus is amazing, the harissa is delicious, even though I’d like it hotter, but it is still amazing and I put it on everything. Also this is the best halva I’ve ever had. You can’t compare it to anything you can buy in stores. I can’t wait to head back and buy more!

Try the roasted red pepper hummus ! Its amazing !! The pita chips just go so well with this one. The guy is awesome. I stood there trying each flavor and he was so patient and nice! I always buy one when I find him at the farmers market. Tried the jalapeño cilantro with lime chips, the best combo ever !

The Pita Chips are Addicting! By far my favorite Pita Chips ever. The Hummus they have is the perfect accompaniment for them. Big Fan! I always buy a bag and hummus whenever I see them at the Farmers Market.

**TEARS** I love you guys. So good. The pita chips… **CRIES**… so good…

Definitely lost a customer! i called and left 2 messages about this moldy unopened (in picture section) hummus and no return call back. I used to buy your hummus and pita chips weekly, now i’ll be buying another brand. Disappointed in your customer service.

I actually found The Hummus Guy at the Montclair Farmers’ Market, but as there’s no posting for The Hummus Guy in Oakland, I write my review here.
Wow. This Hummus Guy really knows his hummus. It’s delicious. There are a lot of brands of hummus out there, and many of them are good. The Hummus Guy is one of my favorites. Yeah, he’s more expensive that the crap you’ll get at the supermarket (TJ’s, which isn’t bad, gives twice as much for a dollar less), but you won’t get any of the preservatives or the aftertaste. I can attest that everything that this guy makes is delicious. I’ve sampled it all. His chips — oh my god, his chips — are fantabulous. I don’t buy them, as I’d eat them all in one sitting (garlic or lemon, both are great).
At Montclair, everything is five bucks. Buy four, the fifth is free (reducing the per unit cost by twenty percent. Hey, you gotta spend money to save). I’ve never availed myself of that promotion because I’d burn through them all in one day. I’m not ashamed to say that I’ve never had a hummus container from this guy that wasn’t consumed in its entirety immediately after opening.
Marin Gourmet (Affi’s) is another one of my favorite Middle Eastern type spreads. They also have delicious chips, though different, and while Marin Gourmet makes hummus (spicy hummus, caper hummus), they also make several other non-​hummus spreads (their Aubergine is amazing; the Olive/​Walnut Tapenade is incredible; the Chimichurri is delicious). Marin Gourmet also makes pita, which is carbohydrate crack.
The Hummus Guy, however, reigns hummus and he does it with aplomb. I like his name — «guy». In truth, he’s really a Hummus King.

Yes, tasty chips and hummus but what gets me to downgrade them one star is the weirdly different pricing I’ve experienced. Generally they seem to offer a price break if you get 3 or more items, but sometimes they don’t, very annoying when you are used to getting a certain deal and are told you cannot.

These are by far the best tasting pita chips I’ve ever had (and I’ve had plenty of pita chips from different places). I tried the lemon pita chips and they were absolutely delicious. They’re lightly flavored, but flavored just enough. The chip itself is not as hard as your typical pita chip, but yet still has a nice crunch to it.
I also love the hummus here. The hummus is creamy, flavorful, and has the perfect texture. Really pairs well with those pita chips!

$ 5 for some of the best too damn delicious hummus I’ve ever had.
I love the roasted garlic & chives hummus the most. As a matter of fact, I am munching on baby carrots dipped in the hummus as I type. The pita chips are a-​okay, a little too thin for my liking because they don’t really withstand the delicious hummus very well.
I’ve tried every single hummus. Yeap, every single one The Hummus Guy offers. They’re not stingy with the samples. They encourage you to sample! As an avid cilantro hater, I actually didn’t mind their cilantro avocado hummus. The disgusting soapy taste of cilantro was not overwhelming.
The Hummus Guy is probably my 2^nd favorite thing about the Heart Of The City Farmer’s Market (Alain at the waffle truck is still #1, DUH). Go do yourself a favor and get some hummus.

These pita chips are bomb! They’re not thick like supermarket pita chips, but flat and crispy.
I thought the garlic pita chips were good but the lemon one are BETTER!
The avocado and cilantro hummus is super delicious as well!
Make sure you stop by here and grab a bag of lemon pita chips and some hummus!
The people are also super friendly and more than happy to let you try their hummus and chips before purchasing!

I consider myself a hummus aficionado and this guy’s hummus is AMAZING. Everything I’ve tried has been flavorful and the flavor combinations are pretty creative!

Stopped by the stand at the Civic Center farmer’s market on Sunday morning. I was pretty impressed with the hummus, and blown away by the lemon pita chips. I had the jalapeño & cilantro, black bean, and garlic hummus — the black bean was my favorite, but all were really good. Nothing artificial goes into the hummus, which is nice because (1) it makes you feel better about yourself, and (2) it «forces» you to finish the tub in 2 weeks after opening.
Now, on to the lemon pita chips. They’re zesty, perfectly seasoned, have an awesome crisp to them, and aren’t greasy at all. Some of the best pita chips I’ve ever had!
Will likely be back at the stand every 2 weeks. Thanks, Hummus Guy!

Do you love hummus? Of course you do, or you wouldn’t be reading reviews for a place called The Hummus Guy.
Since it’s a given that you love hummus, why are you reading this review? Why aren’t you out buying hummus from The Hummus Guy? Oh, you have better things to do? Yeah, ok. Heard that one before. Oh, the Farmers Market is closed today? Well, I will give you that one. I guess it does make sense to do your research before going.
Well, here is your research. The Hummus Guy is awesome.
You wanted more detail? Screw you.
I’m sorry, that was harsh. I get a little Joe Pesci when I am out of hummus. So anyway, The Hummus Guy is awesome. He offers several flavors, most of which are better than the sex you had most recently. I’m not psychic, that’s just science.
Sample all the different flavors. Try the different pita chips. Gorge yourself on the hummustacular goodness. I’m fond of the cilantro jalapeño myself, but I am not you. If I was, you’d be reading your own review. Narcissistic much?
Go get some hummus. It’s awesome.

five stars to everything i have tried at this place (baba ghanoush, cilantro & avocado hummus, jalapeño and cliantro hummus, lemon pita chips and garlic pita chips.)
seriously to die for.
The «guy» is so nice and friendly, he let me sample pretty much everything i wanted until i figured out which to buy.

My lady and I decided to go to the Alamany Farmers Amrket. We strolled around and finally came upon the Hummus Guy. Man the Garlic pita chips are so amazing. I got some Roasted garlic chive hummus and man oh man it is so freaking good. We will be back for some more.

Hummus Guy!
I found him at the Alemany Farmer’s market and his hummus is amazing. Buy 3 and get one free– I split this deal with a friend and got the artichoke hummus and the cilantro jalapeño hummus (way better than TJ’s).

He’s awesome, gives you lots of tastes, and is extremely amicable. The spicy harissa is delicious. $ 4 is a little expensive for one tub but its nice to know you’re getting something healthy and with good ingredients!

I was walking around Wednesday’s Heart of the City Farmer’s Market when I saw a huge crowd gathered around the Hummus Guy. There was an array of hummus and pita chips displayed out. I thought to myself, Which one is good, but just at that moment the Hummus Guy offered me a free sample. I tried the Basil Sundried Tomato Hummus on a Lemon Pita Chip. ABSOLUTELY SOLD!!! I killed the hummus in one seating but still had half a bag of pita chips left. I should have bought two tubs of hummus!
