The Epicurean Trader is your go-to local gourmet shop for artisan cheeses, unique spirits, and scrumptious sandwiches, all wrapped in a cozy vibe.
"The Epicurean Trader is fully stocked with meats, cheeses, snacks, and small-batch spirits in both of its stores in the Marina and Bernal Heights. The owners say they’e tried everything in the store and stand by it all, from wine to flowers." - Paolo Bicchieri, Caleb Pershan, Eater Staff
"The Epicurean Trader has amassed quite a following since it opened in 2014 as a spot to grab hard to find whiskey. With shelves brimming with small batch liquors, bitters and shrubs (some local, some just extra special), you’ll find everything you need to create a perfect cocktail. Order a panini featuring their charcuterie selection, and then peruse a small, but well thought out cheese section, chocolates, pastas, etc. They also sell gifts, highlighting local and (often) hand-made products for the home. Look for their expansion to sidewalk tables in the coming weeks where you can open a bottle of wine and take in a fantastic sunset." - Strohl
"If variety is the spice of life, Epicurean Trader is very spicy. The food and beverage shop has everything from fresh bread and empanadas to Compartes chocolate with donuts and coffee. So choosing what to bring to your park potluck will be an incredible exercise in self-control. We believe in you. Walk up to their Cow Hollow, Hayes Valley, or Bernal Heights locations, or order ahead here. We haven’t been here yet, but want you to know this spot exists." - Team Infatuation
