neighborhood tour – our little produce store

Check out this little gem I discovered around the corner from our apartment the other day… I know, I know!!!

As someone who ad libs a lot of her recipes and is always looking for creative ways to combine veggies with comfort food, my heart fluttered when I spotted a little produce store just a few blocks from our new digs. I made my first trip there the other day to grab a cucumber – a necessary ingredient for a last minute falafel dinner topped with homemade Tzatziki. After a good fifteen minutes of perusing the fruits, veggies, cheeses and chocolate bars, I managed to escape with just a cucumber + one jar of organic, chocolate hazelnut spread… Yes, RDs get early-morning chocolate cravings occasionally too.

Our little produce store seemed to have just about every fruit or vegetable one could ever want – a fair bit of it organic. They even had a mound of butternut squash (!!!) – something I haven’t been able to find fresh in any grocery store for over six weeks now. I can definitely see myself becoming a regular here – can’t wait to check out the Saturday farmer’s market just down the street, next!

Fruit & veggie shopping – grocery store, produce store, farmer’s market?

Early morning chocolate cravings – Nutella crepe, chocolate chip pancakes or a mocha latte?

  • Looks like a Meximart :) Take advantage of the crazy Farmer Markets we have! Alemany Farmers Market and the Ferry Plaza FM are my absolute favorites, they’re just an experience and so San Francisco. Cheers!

  • Love it! What neighborhood is your new place in? I live in Nob Hill :) Let me know if you need any city recommendations, I’ve been here 6 years.

  • Awesome find! I love farmer’s markets, but have only found one so far in Australia. For a chocolate breakfast…chocolate chip pancakes for me!

  • As much as I love buying my fruits and veggies at farmers markets and little places like that, I end up mostly buying them at the grocery store out of sheer convenience. When I split up my list and buy at different locations, I end up spending way more:(

  • What a find! I wish I had one of these in my neighborhood. We do have a Whole Foods, so I can find some good produce there. Otherwise, in the warmer months, I enjoy going to the farmer’s market for fresh fruits and veggies.

  • How amazing that you have that produce store within walking distance! Very jealous of that one. And I occasionally get a chocolate craving in the am…if its a weekend, I usually I throw some chocolate chips into a protein pancake. Or grab a protein bar with chocolate!

  • I love San Fran. I go there once a month, at least since I have family there. And, that’s great you found a healthy nutella spread. So lucky! What’s the name of the brand?

  • I love little corner places like that :) We don’t nearly have enough of them in the area I live. Boo. the Milk Pail market was one of my favorite stops when the husband lived in Mountain View and I always hit up the local farmers market on weekends to get my fresh produce.

    I have been on a huge Nutella kick lately. I need to hide it or it will overtake me.

  • That is soo awesome to have around the corner! I wish there was something like that by me!

    Love farmer’s markets and definitely chocolate chip pancakes :)
