“There is truly no other grocery store like Trader
Joe's! The unique seasonal products keep me coming
back every week to see what is new. The frozen
meals are outstanding and the snack section is
dangerous — in the best way possible. Staff here
are always cheerful and helpful. Best value for
quality groceries in Bellevue by far!”
“Although it's often a very busy place, it's always very cozy, and the staff at the checkout counter are always very friendly and helpful! This is my favorite store to buy fresh, high-quality flowers!”
“This store is amazing! What I love about it is that it’s got produce like you can never find ever before. And the prices are very affordable and sometimes I even wonder how that is profitable for them. This is definitely one of my favorite stores to shop at.”
“A hidden gem for high-quality seafood and caviar!
I started coming here after a friend gave me their shishamo (smelt), and now I’m a regular.
The Shop:
Located in Bellevue, this place is officially called Awers Inc. (The Caviar Store). It doesn’t look like a typical retail store—it’s more of a warehouse/wholesale vibe—so it can be a little hard to find at first. However, there is convenient parking right in front, which makes it easy to pop in and out.
The Food:
Shishamo: My absolute favorite. The frozen shishamo here is consistently high quality and packed with roe. It’s incredibly savory and delicious!
Smoked Mackerel: I tried this on my recent visit and it was excellent.
Unique Finds: They also carry various Russian snacks and specialty items that you won't find at your average grocery store.
If you are looking for authentic caviar or high-quality frozen fish, this is the place to go. It feels like a local secret!”
“I had a great experience with the online shopping team here. There was some confusion with an item in the ad, but Gwen was incredibly patient, responsive, and helpful throughout the whole process. She checked with the meat department manager, kept me updated, and went above and beyond to help with my order. I really appreciate the excellent customer service and the extra effort they made.”
“The fresh vegetables here are much fresher than other asian markets. It’s worth braving the crowds just for that! Couple negatives to watch out for:
1) the hot food bar looks amazing but mostly tastes terrible. There are a few exceptions like the mushroom baos, but they are almost permanently sold out.
2) they carry very few Southeast Asian products.
3) most of the bakery items contain lard, so read the ingredients carefully if you are vegetarian or vegan.”
“5 Stars is for the employees and their Customer Service, that seems to be a dying practice these days. That's why it's delightful when encountering employees who are pleasant and want to actually help you! Amazon Fresh employs them here! The Return Counter has the most patient, helpful people, ever. Cashiers are the same way.
The process by which you load your cart, then leave~ creeps me out. HOW do they know exactly what you have? What's beaming, where...? Oh, the things we have, scanning our bodies that we don't know about .... ?”
“Best produce from local farmers, fresh and very top quality. Never long lines and delicious definitely best hot food in town. People absolutely helpful and friendly, meat department and butcher top notch also usually hot samples of things they sell and very tasty pepperoni and sausage choices .”
“Recently, this is kind of preferred store to buy a Russian food, they have the best selection comparable all similar stores around. My only concern are recent employees. I totally understand owners of the business are busy and have a life, but these young people from former Soviet Union republic are not best fit for your store. Not friendly, don't smile.... Sorry!”
“I love this quaint little shop. I always stop in when I'm in the area. The service is always friendly and helpful, and the shop is always stocked with everything I am looking for.”
“Great selection of Persian and Mediterranean foods with friendly service and fresh ingredients. Everything tastes authentic and delicious — definitely coming back”
“5 stars due to: Great selection of organics & Kristen at the cash register with the great customer service.
Only bad side: The young guy bagging (Ryan I think?) needs a bit of an attitude adjustment. Not going to dock a whole star due to one young employee though.”
“I really like PCC. Last week I stopped in to purchase some kale, and it was an all-around moderately pleasant experience. Like all of the other produce on the floor (not literally) the kale was in good condition. It was the kind of kale that is great for, you know, just a simple in-pan sauté, or kale chips (if you’re adventurous… and your oven doesn’t smoke… lol). Sometimes I forget how satisfying something as basic as kale can be. A couple months back, I tried the kale quinoa deli salad from the Seattle location and that was also delicious and satisfying. If the parking situation here didn’t feel like entering a techno dystopian cave, I’d definitely go back.”

Clean, tidy, everything faced impeccably well.
Things were going wrong but the PM staff did everything well, despite not having enough people.”
“This is the only place somewhat close to here that sells stamps. You can also get envelopes and a bunch of other stuff here like groceries. It seems to have a good selection.”
“Excellent store to shop for groceries
Everything looks fresh, and nice.
We are lucky, and fortunate to have this awesome grocery store in this very busy sections of this beautiful city surrounded by all those gorgeous buildings, and all those beautifully designed structures .
This QFC store has been here for so many years, and had seen the transformation of the downtown of Bellevue from a small beautiful city to a very large gorgeous city , and it is still growing.
Also this QFC store has kept pace with Bellevue down town evolving to this vibrant beautiful city.
This QFC has has also evolved into a beautiful place to shop for groceries over the years.
Excellent customer service, lots of free parking.”
“Went the Safeway on 140th in bellevue and it was good .friendly workers .and a good supply of bakery foods..there muffins are excellent usually.but lately they seem to be cooked a little to long
Otherwise they are good to go”
“Its fine as grocery stores go.I only frequent it if I need a couple basic items as the selection of many things is limited (meat for example). They do have the best bakery section of any store around, however”
“It’s a restaurant supply style place. Pretty much what you would expect. However I will say the staff have always been willing to be helpful whenever needed.”
“Technically it use to be an Albertsons and now is a Safeway. It was up the street from the house I grew up in. And I loved making trips to get snacks and one of my favorite things they carried was Marie Calendar peach cobbler pies. Unfortunately I have had a hard time finding them, not sure if they quit making them or they are only seasonal now, but it really makes me sad. I have seen the mini pie versions of it sometimes, but not the whole size pie. I do like their fried chicken deals it's pretty unbeatable at $4.99 for a dozen dark meat. And their baguettes are pretty good too, made fresh everyday in the bakery.”

“I've only been there twice, had great service and no hassle at all. the QFCwhere I live in North Bend is the absolute worst I've ever seen they tried to deny and hold my prescription until I prove that I can get it that day. were they say they're out of it, I asked for a partial and they don't want to do it they want me to wait 30 days when I'm on a 28-day schedule even though it's none of their business why I'm on a 28-day schedule this is the one that works best for my doctor and i. the insurance has no issue with it but they keep hassling me it's been going on for a long time now and I'm done. go to the QFC in Eastgate it's worth the hour drive for me”
“This Fred Meyers is a super store and Everytime I go there, I find new things that I didn't see before. One of the biggest reasons why I like this store is I don't feel like I'm being followed by loss prevention.. I'm sure they have people making sure that no one steals, they just do it well !! because I always know when I'm being followed.. But not here. The only feeling I get here is being Welcomed. So thank you Fred Meyers”
“QFC always delivers. They created the most wonderful 10th birthday cake with a quick turnaround. They have a wonderful selection of custom cakes and ice-cream cakes as well!”
“Great selection of hard to find international goodies. Some really fun and interesting snacks and ingredients. Well worth a visit to this unique and well hidden shop.”
“I went to the Target Bellevue location to get A23 batteries, but I couldn't find them. I asked the staff at the return item section, and the lady and Sunny at the counter helped me look it up on their machine. They said they have it in stock, and Sunny searched around for me. I appreciate their assistance and hope their boss recognizes their hospitality.”
“(Translated by Google) Plaza Mexico has good service, the owner is very friendly and they sell ice cream from Michoacán, the coconut one is delicious!(Original)plaza mexico tiene un buen servicio la duenia muy amable y venden elados la michoacana el de coco esta rico rico !!”
“From the moment you walk in, you can feel the warmth and authenticity of a true Persian grocery store. Their selection is incredible—fresh herbs, high-quality saffron, fragrant spices, specialty teas, fresh bread, and hard-to-find Middle Eastern items that you simply won’t get anywhere else nearby.
The store is always clean, well-organized, and welcoming. The staff are genuinely kind, knowledgeable, and always ready to help you find what you need or recommend something new to try. You can tell they care about their customers and take pride in offering real Persian products with great quality.
Whether you're shopping for everyday ingredients, preparing a special Persian dish, or just exploring new flavors, Rose Persian Market is the perfect place to go in Bellevue. Highly recommended!”
