Canyon Market

Ordered from the deli in the back of this market. Let's break it down.

Food quality is excellent. The sandwiches were tasty, the broccolini was so flavorful. We got good quantity and quality for our buck.
However, it did take a pretty long time for our sandwiches to be made. We stood around for a long time just waiting for our food. We ordered some of the dishes displayed at the counter, and asked for them to be heated up since we wanted to eat immediately. The person helping us looked confused (maybe most people bring the premade food home to heat it themselves?). They microwaved it but I could tell the bottom of the box was still cold so we asked to reheat it to which they did. Then it was nice and hot and good.

All in all there were some struggles but ultimately we enjoyed our meal. I'd come back and try out more of their food and sandwiches.

Friendly Staff, Organic food items and the customer service of staff is very good. There's a variety of items to choose from and some items were on sale. I have been to this store 3 times over the past few months and everything I have bought has been well worth it. Great Quality food items!

Fair pricing and often sale items. Produce is very much alive with some rare fruits unfound elsewhere in the city. It can get tight walking around inside on busy days. Parking tight. Metro spaces by BART Glen Park.

Delicious made-to-order and grab-n-go sandwiches made with high quality ingredients. The steak and onion hot sandwich is my favorite with savory steak, caramelized onions and provolone toasted on a superbly crunchy and chewy french baguette. The Dijon mustard really puts the flavor profile over the edge. My partner really loves the turkey bacon hot sandwich and asks for it on a baguette.

Once you place your order at the deli counter, you get a ticket to go pay at the register and then you wait for your order to be made. The wait can be around 5-10 minutes if it's around lunch time so if you need a faster option I would recommend the ready made sandwiches located above the soups just around the corner from the deli counter.

The drink selection here is also really fun with interesting options I don't see elsewhere.

I had a great experience with this place. A friend of mine lives nearby, and lost a parent. They only deliver on Mondays and Fridays, but the manager, Michael, not only took my order himself, but agreed to drive it to my friends house personally. He went the extra mile without even knowing me. Overall, this place is 5+ stars.

I know this supermarket very well and I like it very much.

When in the city, I shop here several times a week. Fresh produce is the specialty: meats, fish, fruits, greens, cheeses and fresh dairy are all excellent.

Compared to the nearby Whole Foods on Ocean Avenue, the fish is far better cleaned and better tasting. At WH the fish is never clean of scales, no matter how I ask. The meats at Canyon are beyond comparison - especially the beef and lamb. Chicken is the same brand.

Cheeses are wrapped in foil that can be opened without tearing and reused repetitively. I wish Whole Foods took note: I get frustrated with WH’s exceedingly sticky labels and exceedingly flimsy foil.

Canyon also has a great choice of high-end milks, including glass bottles and unpasteurized milk.

Fruits and veggies are often better than at farmers markets on Allemany (Sat) & Stonestown (Sun). I don’t buy produce from Chile and Peru due to water waste, but California’s stone fruits are particularly stellar here, during the local season.

The same goes for salads, heirloom tomatoes and mushrooms. Grapes are another example where Canyon is above everyone else: they regularly sell Candyfloss and I’ve bought Ladyfingers here at occasion.

From non-perishable items, the wine selection stands out. It always contains an unusual and courageous find. As a wine collector, I almost never buy wine in supermarkets, but I’ve made a couple of exceptions here. Always with success.

This review wouldn’t be complete without a comparison to other Gus stores. I most often shop at Harrison and the Canyon store is far above and beyond the quality and selection available at other Gus markets.

I encourage all quality- and health-focused people to pursue their culinary path with Canyon and to leave a $5 donation when checking out.

I loved this little shop. Small, packed with so much stuff. It smells like an old-school hippy natural grocer. My turkey sandwich was delicious. If I'm ever back in the neighborhood, I'm hitting Canyon Market.

Ran into this place because a friend lives in Glen Park. We got some to go sandwiches and they were spot on. I normally get Dutch crunch bread but they don’t carry it so I got a toasted ciabatta bun with turkey and cheddar. The proportions were spot on and the flavor was great. Because you are in a merry you also have a bunch of options for sides, chips and beverages. I must go to for anything lunch related. Will be going back for sure.

Canyon Market is a gem of a neighborhood market. I love the prepared foods the most. The salmon, crab cakes, quinoa squash risotto, arugula salad, all veges--all my favorites plus the black diamond spread that my friends call crack cheese because it's so addictive! The bakery items are all good too--the pies, cakes, cookies, muffins. Twice I have called to send groceries and food to my friend who lives up the street and even though they do not do hand deliveries, each time, a very kind person has offered to walk up the order. This time, Michael, has gone out of his way to help me. This is what makes this market a stellar sweet spot for me and we will be going back again and again! Thank you Michael--you saved the day!

Fabulous local market, and it's still OK now that it's owned by Gus's. Great prepared food options. The soups are the best! Produce is expensive but good quality. And their seafood and meat counter is exceptional!

My local go to market for our weekly picnics. Great options from deli case to pre-made salads or sandwiches to order.

Lovely neighborhood grocery store. More expensive than some of the alternatives but really high quality.

My local grocery store that I love so much

Delicious. Fresh food. I love the smoked salmon and smoked Turkey spread. They have a nice selection of food you don't find elsewhere.

A cut above an average grocery store. While small, this is like Bi Rite with better prices and friendlier staff. Absolutely spectacular food quality and sourcing / ethics. Really commendable. The best grocery store in the area. Went over 150 times in a few years living here.

Great little local specialty market!!! Awesome deli and meat counter! The cut flowers are also 😍 👌

Really, really great market. Always a great selection of product and meats, and they're always high quality. Lots of pre made things if you're into that. Even an adequate supply of pantry goods considering the store size. Also, they've got a natural-ish wine section that is a bit surprising. Checkout line moves quickly. Price is a bit higher but that's too be expected - not dissimilarity priced from Whole Foods or Gus'.

Great little cozy market. They pack a lot of goodness into a small space. The deli and fresh meat sections were mouthwatering and they have a great selection of cheeses. High quality produce and groceries in a friendly neighborhood store - love it!

SF has lots of great neighborhood markets and this is one of the best. Great selection of cheeses and related charcuteries. If you're going to nearby Glen Canyon park this is a great place to get snacks

A real cornerstone of Glen Park, awesome everything. Great customer service. Definitely on the pricey side but it is higher quality for sure. The only place in the neighborhood I’ll buy fish.
