Great Cabernet Sauvignon from Chile here! Also good spot to get a quick Asian lunch. Not a beer and soda store ( although they have great beers) they have fresh fruit.

I’m not sure what folks on First Hill expect of their grocers to warrant some of the bad reviews. Sure, the store is a little on the pricey side but the convenience makes up for any downfalls in that way. Great beer and wine selection and also have some smaller options you don’t find in little bodegas elsewhere.I’m a heavily tattooed human and everyone on the staff has always been pleasant with me. As far as following covid precautions I always see the staff following the rules.

In terms of convenience stores, this is everything you need. Whether its lunch or a few groceries its in a good location with helpful staff. The sandwiches are good and the wine selection is great! They have good Boars head products, too.

Staff isn’t very friendly. You say good morning and they don’t even look at you.

Nice little place. Almost missed it as I walked by. A colleague suggested this place for a quick bit. I was suspect of the small Chinese buffet but everything tasted great. My colleague had a salad from the salad bar and said it too was fresh and good. Knocked it down one star for hardly any spots to sit down. Definitely a grab-n-go.

First off I have Epilepsy and chronic lung disease so this year has been insanely hard for me to get much done out and about or go very far so I rely on my local stores on first hill. I have been having a lot of seizures lately so I had to bring my service dog with me( I have tried not to as much as possible this year because he is a bulldog and has some breathing issues already) but as soon as I got in the store the angry little cashier that has barely been working there 6 months tells me I dont have a service dog and refused to serve me. I will be following up to report this business for discrimination but I strongly recommend you do not show them support. They have also not been following proper covid procedures with food safety in their self service section.

I had to edit this once 5 star review because the young girl working the counter in the morning is absolutely rude every time I go. She’s newer and has a bad attitude. I don’t come here anymore. I’m not gonna spend my money somewhere only to be treated poorly by the staff that my purchase is keeping employed. Too bad as it was closer to my house.

I go here almost everyday. They have great options for breakfast and lunch. The staff are very friendly (which keeps me coming). It also helps that I work right across the street. I highly recommend the lasagna. 🤗

Went here to get a sandwich and asked them politely to not make my sandwich with the latex gloves she did not change out from the previous sandwich she had just made; they misunderstood and thought I had asked for no lettuce. I corrected her and reiterated I have a latex allergy and asked her to not use latex gloves to make my sandwich. The woman making the sandwich then proceeded with attitude to ripe of each glove and throw them in the back on the ground. I then decided I no longer wanted to give my business to them and walked out.

Everything here is several dollars more expensive than it would be at a grocery store. They have a lot of wine bottles. Service is fine, they also make sandwiches.

Review №17

I work and live across the street and have been here 100 times purchasing hot food or a cold drink, yet every single time I walk into the store they stare at me like a shoplifter. Never once have any of them ever smiled, said hello or thank you. They are all flat out rude every time.I only stop in because its a quick option to grab something on a break. Their food is mediocre and WAY over priced. I just got 2 small hashbrowns and 4 sausge links and it was almost $6. The cashier literally grabbed the debit pad from me and pushed the buttons through the purchase prompts, one of which is a tip option. They immediately throw you your receipt away (I get reimbursed from work) and have asked MANY times for the receipt. This is litetally he worst deli Ive ever been to. If your looking for better service, better sandwiches and better prices, I recommend Hans a block or two away on 8th and Seneca. Its a much better store and experience.

Their hot bar is pretty good but their prepared food can be hit and miss. Beware the veggie breakfast burrito, they basically take all the vegetables offered as sandwich fixings and throw it on some eggs. Imaging my surprise when I bite into the thing and get pickles, whole olives, and pepperocinis....come on guys. black beans, maybe some tomato, maybe salsa or sour cream. thats all you need. They also dont seem to realize they offer 2 different kinds of mustard. The last time I asked for deli mustard I got the cheep yellow stuff. It was rather disappointing.

Rude employees, fly infestation at main entrance, poor foodI’ve been here a few times and overall it’s been the same as the experience this week. Walked in for breakfast, as I was entering the store there was a huge flock of flies at the main entrance. In lieu of closing the door to keep the flies out, they decided to put a fan blowing up and leave the doors wide open — which is a bad decision given the kitchen is open air right at the entrance. Anyways, in my morning hunger I still went it.I went up to the register and ask about what they offer for breakfast, got a “blank” look from the cashier, followed by rolling eyes, followed by pointing to the sky. I stood there dumbfounded. Isn’t a place supposed to be friendly to customers, especially a local spot? Nah, just don’t say a word and point to the sky... anyways after I while I realized she was pointing to a partially covered breakfast menu. OKI ordered a bagel egg sandwich and the lights continued to appear off from the employee. She put her hand out without saying the price, whatever I’m hungry—- so I paid. she proceeds to make the sandwich in the open air with the flies still around. Ugh.I get my sandwich, no napkin, no bag, no “here’s your order”, just the blazing hot sandwich shoved in my hands. After navigating the flea infestation, I escaped with a slightly burned hand and poor experience.I am not looking for a “bright eyed” super happy employee, I just want some semblance of respect as a customer and not to be looked down upon for asking what they offer for breakfast. if you are a local shop, the least you can do is to be respectful of your customers. I have a feeling my demographic caused this, but not making any assumptions.Anyways, this seems to be a family run joint (even sadder this happens at this type of place)— so they probably won’t do anything about this or change their ways. They got a mini monopoly of groceries to my apartment building as well. Still I’ll just always walk down the street to Specialty’s or up the hill to 206 Burger for a sandwich from here on.
