Elite After Hours @ Bom Dia Market

I had a really bom time at Bom Dia! Thank you Abby for organizing, and Bom Dia staff for putting the event together! I had a blast mingling with familiar (and new!) faces. And I can’t wait to return to have some more of Bom Dia’s delightful foods!
Highlights for me:
–AWESOME check-​in goodie bag, courtesy of Unilocal and Bom Dia (with artisanal food samples and neat Unilocal swag)
–THE PÂTÉ!!! Literally the best pâté I’ve ever had. There were a number of Elite attendees who swarmed the cashier to purchase some to take home with them.
–Creamy, flavorful edamame hummus. Sounds strange, but it was so smooth and tasty. I kept going back for more!
–The staff. Seriously, everyone was so friendly and had a smile on the whole night. You won’t find any snarky service here.
All in all a truly wonderful time. Thanks again to everyone who made it such a success!

I had such a great time at my first Unilocal Elite event. Bom Dia Market was the perfect little corner market to host this event. From the fresh flowers, to the wine selection (had to purchase a bottle of Pinot from Neighborhood Vineyards that I sampled earlier in the night), to the small bites offered. I definitely plan to come back here and pick up some artisanal items for my next dinner party.

«Going up… on a Tuesday!» Technically it was a Monday, but toMAYto toMAHto.
My last experience with a YEE (which also happened to be my first) was about 3 or 4 years ago and I had a blast there. This event was no exception.
Big ups to Bom Dia Market for the wonderful food and awesome hospitality. That chicken skewer and cucumber dipping sauce is still speaking to me — or it could be the voice inside my head saying «you’ll never reach it.» Sorry, just sequed into a Miley Cyrus song (bonus points if you sang that in your head instead of reading it).
The staff was friendly and super knowledgeable. You could tell how passionate they were about their products and the store itself. Wishing them many more years of success!
Thank you to Unilocal and Abby! You’re my name twin girl. So we’re already besties.
Oh and shout out to the gentleman who made my orange juice cocktail. I forgot what was in it but it wrecked me. Yeah you, you wre-​e-​e-​cked me. Damnit, Miley! Get outta here.

Bom Dia, is a cute corner market, fairly new to Noe Valley. The staff is very helpful and friendly. I loved their selection of neighborhood/​local wine and beers! My favorite was their Pinor Noir which they nicely decorated when I purchased one. They also have a great selection of cheese and charcuterie. I recommend their duck liver pâté with port wine and also their trout! They also sell a drinking vinegar called Yum Yum Tonic which you mix with sparking or stillwater, it was very interesting and different. Definitely worth a try!
Thank you Unilocal and Bom Dia for having me at this awesome event! Abby and team did a great job of organizing and Bom Dia did a great job hosting. All the food was delicious! I had a nice time mingling with fellow Elites and loved the goodie bag! Thank you so much! :)

What a cute little market in Noe Valley! Opened last December, Bom Dia Market doesn’t disappoint.
They have everything I would look for in a higher end corner market. Cheeses, spreads, wines, beers, meat, vegan offerings, cookies, milk offerings and snacks.
Their small selection of plants and greenery was impressive as well. The staff is exceptionally friendly and knowledgeable which in my opinion is worth 2 stars alone.
Thank you to Abby and and Unilocal for putting on such an enjoyable event. They put on quite a spread and of course it was filled with amazing Unilocal folks.
I’ll definitely be back.

So even before walking in, I could tell this was going to be a great event as the huge display of cheese grabbed my attention from a block away. Cheese and I have a very strong relationship, and I am loyal to the brands and types of cheeses I eat and buy. But holy cow, I am so glad I tried one (…or possibly more…) slice of the Humboldt Fog. Incredible. Game changing. I just HAD to buy some before I left. If you did not try and/​or buy a wedge, just trust me and go back. You will not only support local business, but you’ll also have something delicious to eat!
Don’t even get me started on the prepared foods either. I am counting down the days I can return to Bom Dia and make my cured trout open-​face sandwich dreams a reality!
Thank you Unilocal and the kind folks at Bom Dia (as well as the super awesome local alcohol vendors) for this fabulous event. I met some very rad Unilocalers who have opened my eyes and (hopefully) changed my review writing skills for the better. Fun, fun night!

Great addition to the Noe Valley culture of small and local businesses!
Bom Dia Market just opened this past winter, featuring many local goods such as coffee beans, tea, cheese, wine, beer, and many more. I was a huge fan of the crackers & cheese table. Their house hummus and roasted pepper walnut dip was amazing! The cured trout appetizer, usually served as an open face sandwich was one of my favorites as well. Best drink of the night goes to the morpho pale ale/​yerba mate IPA! They also served espresso drinks and I got to try their mocha made with TCHO chocolate. Yum!
Staff was super friendly, knowledgeable and accomodating to us Unilocalers, especially when it came to explaining their products and what made them unique in each way. Thank you Abby S for another successful event! Happy to interact and meet more Unilocalers around the community: D

Bom Dia indeed! It means good day in Portuguese!
Thanks Abby! Unilocal and Bom Dia for the generosity of last night’s awesome spread! I mean #thatpatètho that’s what got me! All night! The skewered chicken did too! It was perfectly covered in that delicious Za’atar Blend that comes in a bottle. A non chicken lover like me converted at least for the night! That blend was responsible!
Whatever they served that night was on point. The cured meat and cheese plate was a taste to be reckoned with. Really excellent qualities!
Then there’s Morpho beer. An herbal ale Yerba Mate with hints of hibiscus was a hit with my palate! The YumYum drink was a surprise of the night. It was a vinegar concoction but mixed with a sparkling water comes about similar to a sour beer taste. I kid you not!
They also carry MyChelle products. Philz Coffee beans and again that patè! Ridiculously good! We had to buy some to take home! You want wine? They have a wall of them!
Thank you Bom Dia for the lovely take home goodies! I’m about to enjoy the INNA jam! The bittersweet chocolates for later and the mixed nuts will come next!
What an awesome way of saying goodnight to us Unilocalers with your yummy cookies and goat milk! I love it! Best of luck and hope to see you guys again!

Yet another wonderfully organized event by the San Francisco Community Manager Abby S. and her Unilocal team. What’s most important is that I personally got to meet a lot of Elite Unilocaler veterans, many of whom were new to the area or haven’t been Elite event in quite some time. And this seems to be the first Elite event in the Noe Valley area in a very long time, so kudos to Abby and the Elite team for branching out so we all get to experience a new business in a newish area!
When I got there, it was still daylight and not a lot of my fellow Eliters had arrived yet. There was plenty of food and libations to go around and the place was large and open enough for us to explore and enjoy each others company.
Bom Dia Market’s goal (which only opened in this past December) is to be the Noe Valley’s newest go-​to corner store, offering a wide variety of locally sourced baked goods, coffees, wines, beer and other grocery store products that people in the area can grab at a moments notice. Sort of a Bi-​Rite Market for the Valley!
I loved all of the food and drinks that Bom Dia Market offered this evening. My favorite items would have to between the house cured trout with crème fraîche on crostini, the ricotta cheese on crostini (they are both normally offered as an open-​faced sandwich. yum!), and the chocolate chip cookies with walnuts that were served later that night for dessert. The wines including the Rose were amazing and luckily people were still able to buy products that evening if they wanted!
Credit to the owners and managers for organizing such a lovely event with great food and service. Extra credit to Abby and the Unilocal team for promoting a new business in an unacknowledged area that is in need of serious exploration. I had a great time with great people and got some really interesting swag from both Unilocal and Bom Dia Market including a tumbler, nuts, chocolate and jam. Kudos to everyone for organizing such a special event to enjoy a Monday evening!

Bom Dia Market (a fairly new addition to Noe Valley as it opened just this past December) aims to be the local neighborhood’s go-​to corner bakery, offering a wide variety of locally sourced products such as cheese from a farm in Point Reyes and beer from the Woods Beer Co., a brewery in the Mission District.
The cured meats & cheese spread, pâté, hummus, Muhamara (roasted red peppers with walnuts), chicken skewers w/​Za’atar spice & lemon were all delicious! My favorite items would have to be a 3-​way tie (everything was so good it was difficult to decide!) between the house cured trout with crème fraîche (it’s normally offered as an open-​faced sandwich. yum!), Morpho, and the powdered cookies that was right next to the strawberries.
Morpho, an herbal ale Yerba Mate with hints of hibiscus flowers, was a very smooth tasting beer. I’d love to try out the other craft beer creations from the Woods Beer Co. and have already bookmarked Cervecería de Mateveza for a near future visit!
I really enjoyed the ambiance of this Elite Event as you had a chance to walk around and sample different items while being engrossed in foodie conversations. You can definitely tell who was a cheese person, a beer/​wine lover, or a sweets kind of person based on where Unilocalers generally lingered ;)
Thanks Bom Dia Market for bringing an assortment of delicious, locally sourced ingredients to Noe Valley and Abby for the great Unilocal event! Thanks for the goody bags. can’t wait to try the INNA jam, bittersweet chocolate w/​aztec chile, and mixed nuts!

I would have never guessed that shopping could be this much fun! Questioning the event at first, the food they would serve, the drinks and so on, of course not reading the event page. My bad! I take it all back, this event was awesome. We were treated to spectacular food they make and sell, and refreshing beer and wine to chase it with. After all, it was the best shopping experience in a while!
They obviously have passion for the products they sell, that are unique and special. One of the staff drove down to Gilroy this morning for an ingredient they needed for one of their fabulous dips! Talk about dedication and attention to detail. The staff was polite and super informative. Each dish was explained and the efforts exhausted in making them.
Thanks to Abby and the wonderful staff tonight, I really enjoyed this small and intimate event!
