I wish they would sell or give masks near the entrance. Its hard enough remembering all the stuff I need to enter a market but to have to go all the way back home to get my mask is quite ridiculous. Otherwise, great store great buys nice cashier named Reagan who was very helpful at the checkout. Thank you Reagan for balancing out my experience with your kindness.

I love this little grocery store. They cycle through new products often, and have a decent selection of vegan options. Occasionally, there is a new vegan sandwich at the deli but sadly it isnt there consistently. I know it would definitely be bought a lot more if it was there every day. Hopefully the deli manager will soon see the value in having options for everyone consistently :)

My favorite local grocery store! Everyone there is super helpful and friendly, and they have a great selection of local stuff. Incredibly good deli section (we pick up one of their delicious sandwiches everytime we go hiking) and great coffee.

This little grocery store has everything you need and nothing more! Great selection of the things that matter, like produce, meats, and ready-to-eat food. Fantastic beer selection! My favorite place to get groceries.

First time in today, will definitely be back. Found all the basics I need for the week, and way more vegan/veg options than the qfc near us. Decent options for price comparison, and produce looks wonderful. Also, the staff was very nice.

This grocery shop is my one-stop-shop for my grocery needs. This shop had a bit of everything that I needed for my house. From foods to household stuff. The place was so clean and smells so good. Also, they had a great deal. The staff was so welcoming and friendly. A highly recommended grocery shop.

Review №14

A lot of new staff who are much more congenial than a year ago. Canned, dry, produce, and pre-packaged deli goods still obscenely priced (hence their neighborhood nickname of Market Crime)Apparently they dont realize QFC is a 7 minute walk or 2 minute drive away.But if youre feeling lazy, its an okay store. Just bring a seriously well padded wallet.

For this supermarket, five stars! Their customer support was prompt. Their workers were well treated with their clients. Since they had everything I wanted, it was quite convenient. A location for one-stop shopping to go! The cashier was incredibly patient. Terrific support!

What an amazing place to shop! Not only was the staff very patient with my son wanting to gain the full experience of helping daddy put groceries on the counter they even waited to let him pay! We all know how toddlers may be and this store is worth every penny! Positive vibes your way and may all your wishes come true today!

Review №23

My favorite grocery store in Seattle! Prices are comparable to Met Market/PCC most of the time but I have found things to be on the cheaper side on occasion. It’s a bit out of budget but we do almost all our weekly shopping here. The store just makes you feel calm! It makes me feel like I am in a small town versus a city. The checkers are also all very nice, efficient, and friendly.

Review №26

After many more trips here, I thought it was time to update my review. Marketime offers superior quality food. Their hot bar food are all of great quality and full of flavor. Their cold reheat to eat foods are also my favorites. I get their sandwiches often. Great beverage, fresh produce and cheese selection. House-made dessert is delicious as well. Customer service is always quick and friendly. Overall, they have great selections for everything you want and is small enough that you can get in and out quickly. Highly recommend.

The BEST little neighborhood grocery store! Its not big, but the selection is still reallyy good. Lots of local brands, great grab and go food, fresh produce and an awesome little wine isle with helpful handwritten notes! Some stuff is marked up and a little pricey (especially frozen foods), but no more than PCC.

Review №28

I love Marketime. It has just about any food item you can think of, and there is typically one or two organic options and one or two regular options. The wine and produce selections are very good and overall this little store punches well above its weight. There are also very good pre made food options.

Review №32

Great little neighborhood grocery store with excellent preprepared meals and a lot of local foods. Prices are more comparable to Whole Foods than QFC, but quality seems a notch or two higher than either. The only exception would be their meat section, which is adequate but not at the level of a dedicated butcher.

Nice little grocery with a good variety of stuff and a huge selection of drinks (both alcoholic and not). Some produce is extremely overpriced - especially fruit and mushrooms - but vegetables are fairly reasonable and its very convenient to pick up a few things for dinner.

Part of Kens decades long contribution to community groceries, a neighborhood market with quality food, produce and specialties. Staff stick around for years, which says a lot.

Very pricey and small, limited options. They do have a good beer and wine selection however. The hot bar does not label things well at all and its entirely unclear if something is vegan.

I gotta say it...Marketime is pretty awesome. Great selection available, especially when it comes to fresh produce. Super friendly staff. They are so attentive - waiting in line is almost non-existent, I’m in and out so quickly. Love the hot food bar and sandwiches they prepare there — perfect for those days before we go on a hike or a picnic. Love my friendly neighborhood grocery!

Ka
Review №58

Great hot and prepackaged food, wine, and single-bottle beer selection, but its not your everyday grocery store. Its like someone made a grocery store out of all the fanciest stuff at Whole Foods. Want baking soda, white flour, or olive oil? Out of luck. Want all variety of cheeses, fresh kumquats, or high-end ghee? Have at it!

*Good price on Sunshine brand gallon of milk. :) Otherwise, you pay higher prices for most food items at Marketime than nearby big box stores such as Fred Meyer or Safeway.*Great for those times when you want to get in and out fast and dont mind paying a bit more for the convenience.*Parking lot is easy to navigate and not crowded. :)*Good quality, fresh, pre- wrapped deli sandwiches are tasty and reasonably priced.*Fast checkout.*Nice staff.*Good selection of reasonably priced wines.*Relaxed, small, corner store, non-corporate vibes.

Review №63

This is kind of a neighborhood store that I would like to have. Yes, its pricier than large retail stores like FredMeyer or QFC, but I have always found quality stuff and I have always found what I am looking for. Right from household stuff like Dairy, grocery, coffee, beer, wine, fruits, veggies to frozen items to go food etc., This is a mini wholefoods in itself

Review №64

This grocery store as well as Kens Market in Phinney Ridge make it hard to imagine leaving Seattle. I consider these stores my own personal commissary. Filled with awesome homemade prepared meals at an amazing value and all the groceries that you need in a pinch. Such a great business, such great employees and such great food. So thankful.

This is an upscale grocery store with a lot of in house produced goods. Meals to go, excellent beer, wine selection. Very nice produce and cheese section, and a lot of salsas. Grab and go sandwiches, good candy aisle. Lots of frozen delights, and a beer cave too. Like a miniature Ballard Market, but in Fremont. Check out their meat aisle, too! Theres also a clearance shelf in the back of the produce section, just so you know.

I have shopped this Grocery Store on a regular basis. Have found a delightful choice of products. Also, the owners and employees are very helpful with choices of products and services. Also will listen to a customers thoughts and suggestions. If you should be in the area stop by our Neighborhood Market (Market Time) and you will be pleased with the family friendly grocery.

Review №73

Love this place. Everything is just right. I am accustomed to excellent customer service, a great selection of ready made chef quality foods and a parking lot that doesnt leave you irritated just navigating through it. Great coffee and naturally on the immediate right side when walking in and say nothing of their wonderful wine selection and witty shelf talkers. At the check out there is an artful display of hard alcohol ready to go home with you should it be Friday night..or Tuesday on a sunny afternoon.

Review №74

Never know if I should call this place a corner store or a full on grocery store. Its somewhere in between and is an invaluable part of the neighborhood! Reasonable prices and frequent sales. Great prepared food section and alcohol selection. Lots of local offerings as well as basic standbys. I dont necessarily do all of my grocery shopping here but its great in a pinch and for holding me over between big grocery runs.

Review №76

I really like this place - great staff, good selection of fresh fruit and veggies, I can walk there from my house - its practically a dream. I have to give it 4 stars though because the selection of canned goods, like beans, sauces, and the like, can be slim and the prices are inflated quite a bit. Everything else is fantastic.

The selection and quality in this store are excellent overall, and perhaps even more importantly, its the only grocery around here where I dont feel crowded and stressed and where mask compliance is high.

Review №78

Surprisingly well-stocked selection of groceries, meats and produce from a neighborhood market. I find myself there for the ready-made foods more than anything. Great offerings of sandwiches, breakfast items and full dinner meals, everything Ive had has been delicious and freshly made! Staff are always pleasant as well.

Marketime is a great neighborhood store that carries a lot of your basic household items, plus fantastic specialty items! The owners work in the store, and the focus is on customer service. So, what one item keeps me going back, even though I dont live in the neighborhood? Sprouts!

Been shopping here a bit since I moved closer. Im consistently disappointed by both the selection and prices. The stuff here is generally more expensive and lower quality than PCC, at least for produce and fresh goods.

Great selection of local and organic options, also plenty of in-house freshly prepared lunch or dinner items for the busy working commuter crowds in the neighborhood. Prices are appropriate for the type of healthy and organic fare so buy your toilet paper and canned tomatoes elsewhere :)

Small local upscale grocery with a great selection of fresh produce. Prices are higher than QFC, but the mix of staples and organic products makes it a useful place to shop when in a hurry.

Review №86

The place overall is fantastic. Friendly, hilarious staff. Awesome wine selection, they even stock sake. Incredible beer selection, woof! Variety of foods to choose from, hella vegan-friendly. I have literally only one grief about this location... I have found hairs in their ready-made foods from the meatloaf, the salads, to the soups, and the fresh sandwiches. Maybe Im just unlucky, but I no longer peruse that section because Im not up to the gamble.

All you need in one place! Good looking produce and a great selection of beverages. The only way to make it better would be to increase the size of the store and increase the amount of items carried, but then it would lose its charm.

Great neighborhood market offering a little bit of everything--groceries, cleaning supplies, alcohol and prepared foods. The prices are steep in comparison to other grocery stores, but the convenience of being walking distance is nice. Also, the prepared foods are top-notch delicious and the staff always friendly and cheerful.

Marketime Foods is a great locally-owned grocery store with an awesome product selection for its size. Theyve got lots of prepared foods, produce, and local products. Ill often pick up lunch here on my way to work; they have yummy grab-and-go sandwiches, a deli counter, and a small hot bar. Make sure to check out their beer cave: I have a hard time leaving without some beer in my bag! I love shopping local and Marketime makes it easy with a warm atmosphere and friendly staff.
