“Went in for a sandwich, and beer. I was driving my 55 Chevy pickup, while pulling into the parking spot, the employees came out and had me back in to a specific place as to show off my truck in front of Whistle stop. After entering and ordering our lunch, and beverages, the employee's were exceptionally friendly, and treated us like we had been friends forever!! The sandwiches were top shelf, along with the beverages, service, and staff!! Will definitely refer this establishment!! And I will definitely be going back when in the neighborhood.”

“I don't leave reviews as often as I should, but wanted to make a point to do so after such a wonderful experience. My wife and I fell in love with Ethiopian food back in our hometown, and we have been looking for a a delicious restaurant up here, and Alem blew us away. From the amazing care and kindness from walking in the door to the quality of our dishes. We tried the vegetarian sampler and Tibbs. Both were excellent. Cannot recommend enough for outstanding Ethiopian in Everett. Look forward to visiting again soon!”

Thank you all, I truly appreciate your customer service and warming atmosphere.”

“Average corner store. One of the employees (or the owner?) is a little too preachy about his church, but usually you are helped by someone chill. Great assortment of items. TP, dairy, eggs, bread, snacks, treats, all that good stuff. Nothing amazing but pretty dependable.”

“CONSISTENTLY EXCELLENT EXPERIENCE AT ORIENTAL & AFRICA MINI MARKET – 128TH STREET, EVERETT Oriental & Africa Mini Market has been a go-to for me and my family for over three years whenever we shop for homely food items and specialty groceries.

Shopping here is always a delight and a pleasure. The owner is genuinely committed to improvement; over the years, I’ve raised concerns or suggestions, and they’ve consistently addressed them, often offering better replacements or solutions.

She goes out of her way to help customers find what they need, saving time and making the shopping experience smooth and enjoyable.

“Its not Shady-Eleven. Due to the large amount of people using this location its a perfect place to get your gas station food fix. Usually fresh food (its still a gas station). Make your food selections like Indiana Jones and choose wisely. If you do you will continue to live, if not you will most likely turn into a pile of dust and bones. Staff here is friendly and quick and will help you save money when there are deals on your purchases. Store is also clean and they have interesting overseas items. Sometimes items are sold out.”

Prices are reasonable enough that I shop there multiple times in a weeks time.”

Very grateful for this level of service at a time when so many other pharmacies are collapsing.”
