The Epicurean Trader Hayes Valley

I purchased some Tartine Craftsman Wolves pastries from here, and they were so soggy and tasted so old that I felt an existential guilt for spending about $15 more than what the actual bakery charges. The croissants and Kouign-amann were wrapped in cellophane, which I believe contributed to their lack of freshness. It was really disappointing to get home and discover just how unappetizing these pastries were.

I ordered the Cortlandia Panini: goat cheese, fig, and prociutto on artisan country bread. It was reall tasty, if only because the bread was so good, because the sandwich was mostly the two slices of bread with only a single slice of thin prosciutto in between. The pictures on the menu in Uber Eats led me to believe the sandwich would be a little more substantial. Despite this, I would still recommend it because of the high quality of the ingredients and epicurean flavor, but you should know that what you see in the menu picture isn’t necessarily reflective of what you get.

Ordered for pickup twice, both times had items out of stock but didn't correct my charge

Extremely underrated place for paninis. Also great selection of wine, cheese, and other food.

We love this store. It's like an artisan grocery store with many rare and hard to find items. It has everything from produce, alcohol, chocolate, seasoning and specialized ingredients then you won't find anywhere else. Also they make their shopping experience unique by their upbeat music throughout the day.
