"Walking into Bi-Rite Market always feels like a picnic basket exploded and became a store. It’s a reliable, one-stop shop that has everything you need for a day at Dolores—from chocolate bars and cold deli salads to Cowgirl Creamery brie and fresh fruit. For something more substantial, they also make great sandwiches, like the Vegan Hippy with avocado and crispy sweet potato, or the prosciutto and mozzarella on an Acme baguette. If you’re in the mood for dessert, walk across the street to Bi-Rite Creamery for thick soft serve or a cone of rincanelas ice cream. " - julia chen 1
