“I’ve come to love this location. When they first opened, getting used to a new layout was a thing but not a problem. It smacked in the middle of my commute to work so it’s super convenient, the employees are always friendly and helpful, and I can generally find what I need and get in and out quickly when I need to. Parking is never a problem.”
“This corner store is amazing good food good hospitality good people very inexpensive one dollar burritos 3 three dollar Mojo’s two dollar corn dogs some of the best business in our little neighborhood very kind and willing to support our community in our neighborhood”
“This is as close to the standard local stores I miss from London with good produce and lots of high quality essentials.
I don't know why there aren't more of them in the USA, but I'm glad it's here.”
“Stopped in looking for soursop, they didn’t have it but did carry some sea moss gel with soursop. Their sea moss collection is top tier, I picked up a couple of the coconut waters. I also stumbled upon their organic dried mango and it was the best I’ve ever had.
The store is very clean and organized. I love the concept on zero waste!”
“A delightful local business! They use a proprietary local roaster for their Ethiopian coffee, and sell the roasted & unroasted beans, and brew the richest espresso for drinks made to order. The owner is also the barista! He is friendly and easy going. They also sell and made breads and dry goods. I haven't seen drink prices on display but each time I am rung up, I am impressed how inexpensive my lattes are, compared to what I am use to elsewhere. Vibe is relaxed and unbothered, genuine and welcoming.”
“One of the most healthiest bread in town and best price at Trader Joe's ???
"Ezekiel Bread" ALL organic/ Non GMO/ zero sugar and cholesterol. ??????”
“We have moved over 20 miles further out away from Portland and yet we still travel to this wonderful produce market, and quite frankly, a whole lot of other things that this wonderful place provides. Today, in the middle of January, we walked into the market and it was relatively quiet for a Thursday morning and everything was displayed so attractively and not a distressed or rotten piece of produce anywhere! Everything so tidy and everything so fresh looking. This place never lets me down. Their workers are always busy grooming and tidying up produce row. They had pickling cucumbers! They had beautiful heads of endive that will make a great Caesar salad! The broccoli was absolutely pristine. I wanted some fruit but I'm so skeptical about ripeness and yet the wife grabbed a perfect pineapple and by Sunday it's going to be so nice and juicy. These folks pay attention to the small details. Nobody wants bruised apples. Nobody wants tired and old produce. Everything here is wonderful. I even had to grab a loaf of cranberry orange bread as they have added more baked goods to entice you as you wait in line. I highly recommend growers outlet for their continued dedication and effort in providing extremely high quality produce.”
“This is my favorite little grocery and deli. I absolutely love this place. Food is so, so good. Staff is super friendly and helpful. They have an amazing wine and beer selection.”
“My love affair with Joes goes back to the 80’s.
Interesting products. Very good prices and high quality products. Occasionally something is a skimpy amount.”
“Name makes it sound like a quickie mart. It's not! It's a Korean grocery store with a wide selection of meats, seafóod, produce, beverages, baked goods, and exotic sweets and miscellaneous as well as everyday groceries with an Asian flare. Try some frozen durian☺️.”
“This store is incredibly busy whenever I go, but the staff are always calm and friendly, the store is clean, and the shelves are well stocked. How do they do it?!?!”
“Start your grocery shopping here. The prices are great. They often have unusual one off things of interest. Good fruit and veg. Look elsewhere afterwards. The staff are friendly and efficient.”
“Really good vegan selection of items, I find prices very reasonable compared to Kroger, new seasons, etc. I come here often for odds & ends but specifically the Dos Hermonos sourdough sandwich bread. Staff are nice. Organic produce is pretty good. Doesn’t smell like nasty meat or seafood. (Unfortunately since shoofly closed, they do not offer vegan pastries anymore ?)”
“La Bouffe has all of the unique difficult to find artisan high quality items with regular staple items too! They carry fresh scrumptious bulk spices like zaatar, sumac, falafel mix, etc. Free olive oil tastings, sometimes wine tastings (during the Montavilla Street Fair). pita, sardines, Turkish Delights, Lebanese olive oil, very large wine selection, too many nummy foods to list them all! Extremely friendly and helpful staff. One of Portland’s best international markets by far!”
“They have almost every vegan item you could ask for and even locally made things in Portland. I picked up some vegan English toffee and it was amazing. Just like a heath bar. Got some chocolate truffles made in Oregon. Dope place.”
“Thank ya'll for your beautiful smiles & for getting so much product out in such a presentable, easy to look at way! And thank you Renee for the heads up texts!! Very considerate!”
“Great selection in small space. Baked items and smoked fish samples were very good. We’re going back. ??
Store keeper uses phone translator app to converse with us. Very friendly and helpful.”
“I'm just yr local white guy, but now I know where to go to stock up on spices I can't find at Safeway.
Thank you so much. You've made me a very happy man! Just cooked some food today with the leftovers in my fridge with my new spice purchases.”
“Hard workers and kind, clean nice looking store, good prices and larger selection, I was surprise to see items here I’ve never seen else where! Definitely check this place out and support them.”
“I just became a co-op member and I'm so glad I did! The bulk section is phenomenal and they don't sell any meat in store. Some items are cheaper than other places, some are more expensive, but I love buying local to support the lovely store. It is a bit small, so be prepared for potential traffic jams/pileups. Masks are preferred in store but not required”

“This lil store is cool..low prices on some, fair on the rest.i like the owner hes awesome, polite,helpful and giving..he is caring of his customers on personal levels...”
“Love this place. It has all the spice and foods from the South Pacific and have a great quality. The owner is very friendly and always have a great experience every time I visit the store.”
“One thing I really liked is the neat arrangement of the foodstuffs, it makes it easy to find what you're looking for. I've been to other African markets; even though there's so much stuff in here, the orderly arrangement makes it feel walkable and easy to find what you're looking for. ALSO, they don't tamper with their product's BEST BEFORE unlike some other places I've been to. The manager is also cool, he has a winsome smile and gave us bonus produce. 7-star!”
“Great corner store to have in a neighborhood. They don't carry much on the way of ready-to-go deli or protein shakes, which I'd enjoy.
But they make up for that in general pantry, dairy, and what not.
The layout is a little untraditional or.. corporate, which does allow them to stock more.
It's a clean place with a good set of options.”
“Always well stocked with a great selection of Asian staples. I cook in various styles from southeast Asia and this provides a great one stop shopping spot! Fresh produce at a great price & the hot food in the back is amazing!!”
“I absolutely love shopping here! The quality of the products is outstanding, and the customer service is top-notch. Everything arrived quickly and exactly as described. Highly recommend this store to anyone looking for great value and a smooth shopping experience!”
“Owner is hard working and friendly, despite the riff-raff that comprise the general clientele. Prices are fairly reasonable, and i prefer that my money go to small independent places like this instead of big chains like 7-11 and Plaid.”
“My wife went in there to buy ice cream it had issues with her card and the young man put a plastic bag over the card and ran it that way I would go into Lentsmarket any day over 7:11”
“Rinella has such a great selection and great products! Amazing prices too! Everyone was so friendly and helpful too! You can have their products delivered, but I enjoyed stopping by and picking out some things and interacting with the wonderful staff. ?”
