Gluten Free supermarket in San Francisco

THE SHAPE OF THINGS TO COME?!....

Out to dinner the other night with a friend and we happened across something VERY special in the Design District/Protrero area.  What lay behind 30 ft high pink perspex door was a TOTALLY GLUTEN FREE shop.  I will tell you at the outset, it is not all VEGAN and you'd have to be savvy if you shop there but I thought it was a futuristic triumph.  Inside was a whole new way to shop for groceries.  Topher, the vibrant, artsy owner is a joy of a human.  Her enthusiasm for gluten free products, her community and providing a fun and colourful shopping experience was clear.  I adored her on site.  She showed me around like I was visiting royalty and made me feel so utterly welcome.  She readily scribbled down products I'd used and listened to my food wish list.

I LOVE her whole inclusive concept and vision - you can order online if you can't make it to the store - Gluten Free Review Grocery

Topher is all about the community and education.  She runs classes also, in conjunction with well known local chefs and nutritionists.  I came out totally entranced with the place and so excited for our evolving food stores.
