West Portal Produce Market

This is my go-​to place for buying fresh fruits and vegetables. The delicious Kiwis I get from this place just got me hooked. The Kiwis are fresh and sweet and cost only $ 1 for 7 of them. How can you beat that price? Other fruits and veggies I have tried here are good quality as well and easily last for at least a week in the fridge. Well, I have not tried to store them for longer since I would need to re-​stock my Kiwis within a week. Very polite and friendly staff. I am a loyal customer now!

I am so grateful we have a neighborhood produce store. Love it even more now that they started offering some organic produce. Everything is fresh and reasonable priced. They have a wide variety and one can make a quick stop here for all the fixings for a meal.
The staff is awesome. They are always so friendly. I always enjoy paying a visit to the store.

This is a great little market to get fresh fruits and vegetables at really reasonable prices. Much cheaper than Safeway. There is not a huge selection to choose from in terms of varieties (e.g. they carry Fuji and Red delicious apples, but not Gala) but it is a place where I can get my essentials such as bananas, oranges, apples, the fruit in season, potatoes, onions, etc.
The people who work there are super nice and helpful. I love giving my businesses to a well run establishment.
This place is convenient since its just off the West Portal & 14^th Ave. Muni stop.

The West Portal area was a DESERT for fresh/​cheap produce for a very long time. Hurray for the intro of this small little fruit/​vegetable grocery! I go to West Portal often, especially to Starbucks and Walgreen’s and this little grocery is a CONSTANT destination for me since I’m always looking out for my nutrition and so constantly looking for fresh fruit and vegetables at affordable prices. If you know the West Portal area, then you know that this area is expensive for even the most common items and so having this sort of shop in this area is like finding a DIAMOND in the rough!
They also carry hard to find european imported packaged cookies/​cakes, dairy (milk, butter, cheeses). However, since it IS small, it may not have every produce available. The last 2 times I’ve been there I was looking for mustard leaves and they didn’t carry them even though they should be in season.
They accept CC, but the minimum is $ 10. They charge for plastic grocery bags unless you have your own bag to carry all your stuff home. The parking is very available in front and nearby, especially in the 10am-​3pm times during weekdays.

I really to enjoy shopping at this produce shop. It’s well known fact that consume more of veggie and fruit to be healthy and prevent obesity. Hence I always eager to get more and more of it. The kiwi is one dollar per 7 while other shops charge two kiwi per one dollar. The owner really works hard enough to get up 4 am in the morning and keep all thing fresh. As a result I’ve never disappointed after I purchase the garlic and etc. Nothing was bad to threw away. I really grateful about the owner family’s sacrifice to keep this local shop that does a lot for us.

Convenient and much more inexpensive than going larger grocery stores in the west side of the city.

This is your better than average neighborhood produce store — good selection and pricing for fresh fruit and veggies makes this store worthy of 4 stars

I love this little market. It’s simple and to the point. Barely any processed food. The fruit is always fresh and delicious and organic at very reasonable prices (usually cheaper than Safeway). I’m a regular here and the owners are friendly are caring. If you don’t see what you’re looking for, they’ll try to find it «in the back» or help you find something similar. Parking is OK on average (worse during peak hours). They start to close up 30 mins before closing time, so get there prior so you don’t miss out. Cash only for purchases under $ 10. Bring your own bag-​they use plastic.

We have tried a half dozen of the vegetable/​produce markets around the city. This one has, hands-​down, the best quality, freshest fruits and vegetables of the markets we have tried. Its prices are also as low or lower than the other markets we have tried. The staff are friendly and helpful. It is a true neighborhood establishment.
They do not carry the extensive line of packaged goods that many of the larger markets carry, but for fresh produce, it’s the best we’ve found.

This place has the cheapest produce I’ve come across in the city. Very friendly staff and the place is very clean and organized.

Fair prices and friendly staff. Produce is always fresh!

I am a loyal customer of West Portal Produce for two reasons: 1.) The produce selection is always fresh, fairly priced and extensive (given the size of the market) and 2.) The people who work here are among the best I’ve known for customer service and friendliness.
In addition to the produce, they have a very nice selection of teas as well as organic cheeses and eggs.
The combination of superior products and customer service merits a five star rating. For some reason this pairing seems to be quite rare. Keep it up, West Portal Produce!

Friendly store clerk that’s always available to help you find something that you’re looking for. Produce was mostly fresh, just shift around to the back of the shelf to find the fresher stock as need be. Overall a nice place if you a few quick and easy things such as strawberries and alcohol. =)

And a big box of blueberries for 2 $.
Not the Jumbobig or small kind. but the medium big. know what I mean?

This is one of my favorite stores (for anything) in SF. Why?
*cheap
*REALLY cheap
*run by a super friendly, courteous Asian family that it makes me happy to give my money to
*has all produce basics for CHEAP
WARNING: not all veggies/​fruits are necessarily in great shape here, particularly yams and onions so you have to be able to choose good, ripe but not about to rot, specimens. A minimal amount of really looking at what you’re buying is so totally worth it for the prices. Berries and most fruits, herbs, and things like cabbage and peppers here ARE usually in great shape.

Hmmm… I’ve never reviewed this place?! Oh c’mon, I’ve been here about 100 times over the past 10 years. Yes, people, since college days, before I truly discovered Safeway, Costco and stores of the ilk.
This place is small, but it has beautiful produce, and generally cheaper than the other specialty produce places on West Portal.
They’ll carry what’s in season, and the basics too (onions, tomatoes, celery, greens, oranges, etc.)
Service = friendly. They’re very quick at the register (cash only).
Honestly, they’re a very clean and neat joint, and they cram a lot of produce into one place.
A total plus for this place, plenty of lighting! (Yes, it helps to find good produce.)

Still love it here! Best price for huge, crisp fuji apples (softball size) — 99 cents/​lb.
Loving the summer fruits! Peaches, plums, and nectarines. :D

This place is awesome.
Came in here two weeks ago for a Thanksgiving feast, and ended up getting all of my Thanksgiving produce for less than ten dollars! Their store always has a vast selection full of in season produce. Love this place!

Great corner market for fruit. Good prices, friendly people and their produce is always fresh.
I wish the isles were a little bigger and that they didn’t use plastic bags, but beyond that this place is tops.

One of the best in town for what it is. Just a little, unfancy, market selling vegetables and fruits. No meat, and just a tiny bit of milk and eggs. What sets this one apart is that it is clean, orderly, the fruit is fresh and high quality. Not organic or ethnic, just a decent selection of the usual. Despite being a tiny convenience store near some of the richest parts of town, they set prices lower than the grocery store.
People in the neighorhood don’t know how good they’ve got it. If you put out like that in the Tenderloin people would fall over dead just to think of it.
