Oh, how the time flies. Neighbors Holly and Matt from The Epicurean Trader on Cortland are celebrating the first anniversary of their store, and to mark the occasion they’re offering a special deal to Bernal neighbors. Holly says:
We’re celebrating our first year as a Bernal merchant! We love this neighborhood. Mat and I have both lived in the neighborhood for years and all our employees live in Bernal Heights too.
The store has changed a lot since opening day – not our overall mission, but the assortment of products we sell. We’ve always wanted to be a neighborhood store, so we continually collect feedback from you about items you find difficult to buy locally. We stock as many as we can to make everyone’s lives a little easier.
We were also just named one of the Best Neighborhood Markets in San Francisco, and we’re now the highest-rated Specialty Market on Yelp (even ahead of Bi-Rite on 18th.) So now we’re even more excited to celebrate!
To thank the neighborhood for all their support, we will be extending a 10% discount off all purchases Monday thru Friday this week to Bernal Heights residents. Just ask for the discount when you check out. (Note: we may ask for some confirmation that you live in Bernal Heights.)

Congrats to Holly and Matt! I’ve found some awesome stuff in the Epicurean Trader; it’s a great add to the ‘hood.
Great shop. I always go in there for a last minute gift.
I hope they are serving crow and humble pie. A year ago I said (to no one in particular) “this is the stupidest idea, we don’t need that store” A year later, I’m a member of their whiskey club, I’ve attended their free tastings, I’m addicted to their fig balsamic and have purchased some mighty fine gifts for friends/family. Congrats on the 1-year anniversary!
Congratulations; readying my shopping list ; but I soooo wish we still had a bookstore on the Hill —
+1 to the bookstore…
So glad The Epicurean Trader is doing well. I try to buy something there once a month to help support them. It’s great to have so many friendly local businesses on Cortland. Long may you run, Epicurean Trader!
Congrats Holly & Matt! We’ll come in this week to support and celebrate. Looking forward to find some treasures, like my 40N Red Boat Fish Sauce, that I couldn’t find anywhere else. ~Larissa, Doug, Talis & Paxton
