Focaccia Market and Bakery

LOVE this business! I recently started working in South San Francisco, which is a vast wasteland of office buildings with no restaurants except Specialty’s in my area. I happened to stumble on this one day while I was going past the huge office building that it’s in.
The restaurant itself looks almost brand new — everything is clean, clean, clean, shiny, and there are no signs of wear. Lots of sunshine, counter space, room to move around.
I believe this chain emphasizes fresh ingredients, and they certainly haven’t gone wrong there. I tried a salad with spring mix, artichokes, blue cheese, and salmon (you have your choice of several different types of greens). The counter person was sweet and friendly and gave me a piece of their fried chicken nugget-​type things when I asked what they were. The first three additions to their salads are included with the price ($ 8.50, I think). I also picked up a container of cubed Mexican papaya for my afternoon snack, so that with the salmon on the salad came to a grand total of $ 13.00. Not cheap, however if I’m looking for a healthy lunch in this area, it sure fits the bill.
I’m looking forward to going back today for another salad!
