“only genuine and authentic hawaiian supply store in washington. they are always the epitome of aloha and make sure you have everything you need. as a lifelong hula dancer, this is THE shop in the PNW. go support!”
“I should own stock in Trader Joe's, & it would make me a proud investor. This store has so many delights at reasonable prices. The staff is stellar, always friendly; going beyond to find a product or make a recommendation.”
“my partner’s honest rating is a 4 for the tofu yakisoba—the dish was just okay. the flavor of char and more sauce was missing, but they definitely don’t skimp on the tofu!
in contrast, the chicken teriyaki here is super flavorful. i tried both the spicy and the non-spicy chicken teriyaki, and both have a good balance of sweet and savory. the spicy chicken teriyaki is great for anyone who wants a low heat profile. i asked for no rice since i was going to eat out again later, and the fresh, creamy salad was a nice contrast to the smoky, spiced chicken.”
“Trinity market is the best!! I get sandwiches here every other week, and they are delicious (and come with a pickle). Also, the family who owns it is so, so nice. They know the orders of their regulars and are generally extremely friendly and helpful. The text-in-your-order option is also so convenient. Absolutely love this spot, definitely worth supporting / buying from them!”
“This was my first time in a Trader Joe's for many years. There was ample free parking. The store was well staffed with pleasant team members left and right. What was surprising to me was how few people were here. Almost always when I've been to other Trader Joe's locations, they're jam-packed with people, but this was great for personal space. The entire vibe of this location was great and I'll be back anytime I'm in the neighborhood.”
“Everyone’s extremely helpful at the University district location the garage can get a little crazy trying to park, just avoiding rush-hour or Saturdays is a good move.”
“Everything about the store is the bee's knees. Should always shop here first before you go to other like normal grocery stores. It's kind of fun to see how much money you save, and what kinds of cool unusual products you can find.”
“Excellent produce, fish market, meat counter and deli counter. They also have a take out deli/bar with soups, salads, and other hot foods to go like pizza and chicken. Lots of organics. Friendly and helpful.”
“Best place in the world. Inflation hasn’t hit it!? Everything is just a few bucks and 1 piece of fruit a few cents! Priced more than fair and all too reliable. ❤️ ”
“Produce is well stocked.
Some items have ridiculous markup. The manchengo cheese is twice what Costco sells it for. There's no reason for that.
Security is on-site.”
“Best neighborhood market I could ask for
I wanted to update my review to include:
This Ken's market sells Seattle Bagel Bakery bagels and Schmears ... They are actually pretty darn good for bagels in a plastic bag! The schmears are delicious. It does the job, I recommend it! The raisin bagels are delicious!”
“This is the best place for shopping you can find everything you need the employees are so nice and kind helpful especially the lady that she works at meat suction she is very very nice the owner and his wife are very kind and nice people I love to go shop there ❤️❤️❤️”
“The sandwiches are great, it has pretty solid groceries for such a small place.
They did sell me almond milk that expired the next day but I had some libations and didn’t check it”
“I don’t leave reviews often but this store is amazing! I went in for the first time and the people working were so kind and helpful! They have a great selection!”
“Ha! Another find for me. I stopped at the little Ukrainian market to buy some herbal tea (don’t we all?), and I realized they have a little restaurant on the side. This shop is in a drive-by, you’ll-never-stop-here strip mall just north of 130th on Aurora Avenue. The dining room looks like an after thought but in the process of being decorated, so I got to give them credit.
The food is scrumptious and cheap for today’s prices. My cabbage rolls were $10.99 and ample portion. The mushroom soup was delicious and rye bread was excellent. I drank Kvas which is a chilled fermented drink from rye bread. Try it! It won’t hurt you to try something new.
My dessert was Syrnyky - a quark pancake with sour cream and strawberry preserves. The portion was generous, so I could only eat one. Leftovers work for me.
While dining here (and avoiding commuter traffic) I noticed two other people eating here. I believe a father/son duo who came down from Edmonds. I chatted with them, and agreed it’s a hidden gem.
Note: this place is no frills but there’s a charm to that when you want what would equate to a home cooked meal while dining out.”
“Love this shop...have been in a handful of times, and the last time I got to meet the owner Sabra who is sweet and friendly. I took my time browsing all the beautiful spices and learned that borage is a good tea for inflammation. This time I got some cumin, curry leaf, hot chili powder, and daal. I can't believe the prices are so low, I will be coming here from now on to stock up on my spices :)”
“We are very lucky to have Market Time Foods in our neighborhood. It's so convenient, almost always open and until relatively late, good selection and quality, staff are friendly and helpful. Yes, prices are a bit higher but gotta pay for the convenience. Special shout out for their donuts, I'm addicted to them :) please keep doing what you are doing folks!”
“Ridiculous low prices and a decent variety. You don't always find the same items, as they receive food from bigger grocery chains that have overstock. Great selection of produce. Awesomest staff ever!”
“This place is so great, I don't want to tell but AWESOME!! I can't recall my 2 years living in the neighborhood, the gas being over $3.99 a gallon. Just saying.”
“My 1st time shopping at this location. The outside surroundings were a bit uncomfortable/concerning and lots of trash in parking lot. But the Store itself was clean, very organized and managed very well. Also had a good selection on items I was shopping for. e.g. Protein Powder, Collagen and other supplements.”
“Everyone so nice especially at Starbucks being mixed I get a lot of stares in this area but to my surprise I go into Starbucks they were so nice not fake nice they didn't act all scared of me they treated me like they treat everyone this never ever ever happens to me so I was very surprised I really wish everyone was like how they were towards me I guess no one could understand what I mean unless you look like me but I very much appreciated it that's how much it stood out to me it was to white guys at that so I've never been treated so nice and like I said it wasn't a fake nice they where truly perfect they deserve the praise for sure....just saying THANK YOU.?”
“These people are nice. I like this store and this neighborhood despite it's shortcoming. Very helpful and friendly staff. Unique food selection (if you have not been to a PCC). High quality goods organic, natural, and locally sourced. It's basically NPR if NPR was a grocery store. It's a CO-OP, SO THEY partner with farms and manufacturer to cut out the middle man and bring you affordable artisan goods, food stuffs and produce.
You know, NPR without the donation drive. Actually. I'm not 100 that they don't have donation drive to sustain themselves, I'm not that informed about their business goings-on and what-not.
Ciao”
“Most expensive grocery store I’ve ever been to. Almost always spend over $100 on several days worth of groceries at best. But it’s conveniently close, the ready made entrees are tasty, good beverage selection, and the staff is friendly.”
6AM - 9:30PM
58 E Lynn St, Seattle“LOVE the wine selection and staff are so so nice! Wish the produce was a little better (wilted lettuce/old herbs) but you can't go wrong here. Deli in the back is a great spot too for lunch”
“Great helpful and respectful staff. I work out in the field from my truck and this is a nice clean bathroom stop for me. Always happy to be a buying customer too. Thank you RAM”
“Staff is always kind, the food they serve is good and the hours they stay open until are handy, I’m a night owl so it’s nice to know I can stop by in the later hours of the night and grab a drink or snack”
“Twin brook milk, raw milk, goat milk, duck and quail eggs, choices of butter, local dairy and beverages. Great place! It’s cash only but there’s ATM in the store”
“Signed up for subscription delivery and I love it!! Products are amazing high quality, local, and diverse. I am telling everyone how awesome Local Yokels is so you should too!”
“If you bring a shopping list and that's your only plan, then your plan is a loose and shoddy one and you'll be in the store for an hour. The large variety of quality yet random foods is impressive.
Can I find what I'm looking for? Alot of the time yes.
Do they have everything? No. Not even basic staples sometimes.
But it's fun meandering down an aisle like a giant toddler, discovering things for the very first time. One time I saw Bacon Spam and it made me feel oddly patriotic. I was proud. Proud of what humans had made together.
If we can put people on the moon, we can merge two breakfast meats and I'm here for both”
“Super nice staff. Good selection at a decent price. Unfortunately the aisles can get CROWDED. We love the peanut butter cups and trader joe chili lime chip. Meats kinda expensive here.”
