We're always glad to see customers come in and experience the village feel of our Kitchen!
Our business model was originally built around customers pre-ordering online and then coming in to pick up their food. In the "old days," when folks came in to pick up their orders, we'd have a couple of coolers out to sell any extra product we made.
Over the years, as the business grew, our "cooler selection" evolved into a full retail store, with many of our housemade products, pantry items, books, milk, eggs, bacon, and more. Don't be surprised by guest appearances and free samples from one of our outside producers, such as Kaleidoscope Foods, Coracao Confections, Luminance Skincare or Golden Gate Neighborhood honey, along with our own sample table of housemade foods and products.
Payment OPTIONS in the store
While online pre-ordering works through a customer's account, in the store we have a point-of-sale (POS) system, and we accept cash, checks and credit cards. (You can also apply glass deposit credits from that day's return or from your online account to in-store purchases.)
Friday and Saturday bone Broth Bar
Skip the coffee and stay nourished while running your errands!

Hot Broth Bar:
Purchase and enjoy a 6-ounce mug with one refill while at the store.
Hot Broth to Go:
