Vegan, gluten free, dairy free, lactose free- any sort of dietary restrictions? Dont have to worry about that here with the selection of products they offer. Store is always very clean, staff always gives quality customer service. Only downside is pricing of food so make sure youve got your whole paycheck ready to go if you plan on major grocery shopping. Still good for grabbing a few snacks or a sweet on the go.

Great location, and wonderful staff. Love my PCC membership and dividends! Produce and seafood are always great quality, as are the convenient and creative deli dishes.

The sandwich I bought here tested good and was warm--which is what I wanted today. The store was clean and tidy. The food cost more than Id expected.One interesting note: when I went to check out the express cashier had a line of 5 people waiting. However, I went around them and went to the normal checker and stepped up behind someone who was finishing. The next regular checker had the just that one person finishing and no one else behind them. LoL! Sometimes you should actually look at the situation and not just read signs. 🤯

They didnt have any of that amazing tiramisu I wanted to share with my boyfriend 😭 However, Opera Cake was a mouth-watering & decadent back-up dessert choice 🤤💕

PCC is a nice Community Based grocery store where you can find most of your needs. I Especially like the fruit and vegetable selection. There is a hot bar and a nice dessert selection also. If you park down in the parking garage you can get your parking validated.

Organic food-focused grocer in Greenlake. If you like Whole Foods, PCC is so much more pleasant to shop in, with fully stocked shelves and most everything youd want to buy that is organic. I love my ice cream and the stores selection of brands and flavors is awesome.Theres a hot food bar and deli counters, and indoor/outdoor seating for eating in.Hot tip: The store is a short walk away from Greenlake park (the playground and playfield side) so this store is a great spot to stop for a snack or a full meal.

Found small cheese samples by the deli/cheeses in an assorted basket and was able to put together a cute cheese platter without breaking the bank!! (Names listed and would recommend all)Also got scones for breakfast as well as the danish. So so good

Less expensive than Whole Paycheck, better quality than Safeway, with a good selection of vegan, local, and high quality foods, and also a fundamentally customer oriented philosophy by basic principles, this is my go-to grocery.

In general, I love PCC. Amazing selections of organic, vegan, and GF foods, plus fresh produce. This is not my typical store, but I’ve been here twice since the pandemic and had poor experiences both times. First time I got yelled and and criticized by a bagger because of where I was standing (she wanted me to be 20 feet away from her and the checker). Second time the checker made me take off my mask for ID verification (I’m no where near 21). The atmosphere at this store is just ... off.

Outstanding customer service, have a great social distant check out waiting line. They call ya up as a check stand clears so no blocking the isles. Over all excellent shopping, though I will say on this trip some of the shelves were bare.

I have been shopping here since the store first opened and I love it ! It’s wheelchair friendly unlike the other green lake location, and the one and only complaint that I have is the 15 & 10% that was taken away.I received an E Mail stating that it was going to be re instated yet it hasn’t been and why is that ?You think that the little dividends are going to make up for it, clearly someone wasn’t thinking clearly.The only thing you have done now was change the amount of $$ I spend in your store now instead of spending hundreds and I did, to now I come to just get the very basics and out .No room for anything extra and with the holidays coming up is when that really helped, it helped all the time .Please consider re instating the 10 & 15% 😊

An attractive newer store, with appealing products, good location, and convenient parking, but customer service needs serious work.Was told to get out of the Express Lane even though it was empty. While waiting for main checkout behind 3 HUGE carts noticed the limit was about 12, counted my items, I had 13. Meanwhile the Express checkout guy was standing there doing nothing.Have never emailed customer service for a grocery store before, but contacted them via website and the representative was very nice and sent an apology gift card.Returned with gift card to get more pizza (the previous pizza was cold by the time I checked out) and to use 1 pound free apples coupon. Apples were displayed in cute little paper bags, assumed they were 1 pound to match coupons that were mailed out. Tried to purchase, was told the bag was over 2 pounds and we had to pay over $5 extra. Explained we did not want that many, so could we remove some to be only 1 pound. Checkout clerk was completely unable to change our order, as we had already paid with gift card, had to move registers, ask 2 others for help. Meanwhile, pizza rapidly cooling again. Explained we needed to eat our lunch and get back to work. Clerk said we could not leave because we still owed $2.28 and she could not figure out how to charge us that. Finally handed her 3 $1 bills, wolfed down cold pizza and zoomed away.Display of apples was misleading, tricking people into buying more than double the amount in the coupon. Their attempt to make amends by sending gift card completely backfired because cash register too hard to operate. Contacted customer service again and got another nice reply, but they lost my goodwill. Overly rigid policies do not prioritize the customer experience, and sending out coupons backfired because they dont make sure to treat people honestly and fairly.

Spent $800 on groceries in the past month shopping at this place. Still was hungry all the time and lost about 20lbs. If you like individually wrapped cookies for $1.99 or a fan of really small serving sizes for the price of a restaurant food, this is a place for you! Perfect for weight-conscious girls! Do not shop here if you’re a bodybuilder trying to bulk up! You can easily spend over $1000 per month and lose all your past muscle gains at the same time. But yeah, lots of organic, non-gmo foods for sure. You need to spend about $100 per day here in order to eat a healthy and balanced diet, that’s for one person. Staff is great, they all get 5 stars for sure!

Although their prices are high their produce and fresh meat have never disappointed. We are able to find products needed when allergies are an issue (milk proteins or fish allergies). The staff is wonderful.

This is a smaller PCC than usual, but then this is overcrowded Greenlake. I quickly went in to buy a sourdough loaf and some/a few grapes. $13.98! Mind you this loaf of bread was the cheapest, and, the grapes were on sale. Whats wrong with you Greenlake people?!

Good food! And as of November, has excellent covid safety precautions- better than even Trader Joes (which to my knowledge has had the best cart sanitization & safety precautions up until now). All checkout stands pliexi-glassed up, lots of reminders to distance, plenty of hand sanitizer and clean, sanitized carts separated from used carts. Plus, as mentioned, all stocked food is top-notch. Wouldnt shop anywhere else!

I love pcc and the location is usually pretty great, but recently I picked up a friends kid from high school, and stopped by the store on the way to drop him off at home, and I tried to buy a kombucha. I’m nearly 30, and they tried to ID the obvious high schooler and wouldn’t let me buy kombucha. Just seemed like a needless micro aggression from Brenden. They gonna id everyone who shops with their or someone else’s kid?

I have been shopping here for years. Now, there are never enough checkers and the line is always 20 minutes plus. Between understaffing and not requiring masks, this PCC is the riskiest store in the area right now with COVID-19. I expected a safer response from a store that seemed well managed before.

I love PCC Community Markets in Green Lake Village. I know its a little bit more expensive. But I think the atmosphere is wonderful and the staff is always kind. I love that they have local and more natural foods. Also just a tip they have a Kick butt breakfast sandwich if you go in the morning!

Review №39

Beautiful location but smaller than other locations. I love the pizzas by the slice. They have all the fresh fruit and vegetables you can ask for as well as a great selection of wine, beet and cheese. Never too busy and always nice for a quick lunch or dinner hot bar if you dont have the time to prep or cook. Some items are priced high but overall its not too bad if you do your research.

Review №42

Whether its just sitting down in the cafe area to read, use the free wifi, do some shopping, or to attend one of their great cooking classes, this store is always clean, the staff friendly, genuinely taking time to get you a little bit, and filled with the wonderful aromas of all the deliciously, in house prepared entrees and sides. You cant go wrong at this location. And if youre looking for that special breakfast stop on the weekends, LOOK NO FURTHER!! the Belgian Waffles on the buffet Sunday mornings is more than worth the effort and the price If getting up early on a Sunday😻

Review №44

Brings back memories from the 70s. I never though those would be the good old days but I would go back in time without hesitation. PCC has changed just like everything but is still a great place to shop. The decision to sell alcohol and meat were big deals. There wouldnt be a second thought in these times, its all about the Benjamins... or Bitcoins... or whatever.

Review №46

I have to say I love this place more and more every time I go in there. There is always a great selection of deli and salad bar foods available for every meal of the day. Their produce selection rivals farmers markers and they have an extraordinary selection of one of a kind healthy, raw and vegan products. It can feel a bit pricey at times but worth the quality you receive.

I am SO disappointed in PCC right now! Shopping in the newer Greenlake store and almost all the shoppers were wearing masks but NONE of the employees. Not a single one. And they are handling our food, and breathing into our air? Not mine anymore. I will not be shopping there again until all this is over. At least the shelves had what I needed.

Without a doubt my favorite grocery store!! The BEST deli, hot bar, salad bar, and bulk section of all the respective grocery stores in the entire northwest. Theyre open late until 11pm (or 12 midnight for certain locations). They also have the best selection of local organic foods/produce.

This is a beautiful full-service natural grocer. They have a huge deli selection of hot and packaged foods that are organic and non-gmo. The prices are comparable to large scale grocery chains but the service is much better. The staff are knowledgeable and honest. They feature lots of local products as well.Their olive bar seems a little small, but had good variety.

Review №53

Good bulk idle selection, good place to get nice glass jars. Beautiful produce selection.I dont like that they choose to use such a hideous amount of non-biodegrable plastics for their deli foods and other items. I find that it contradicts their goal to be an environmentally conscious business.

They have segregated restrooms, the nice locked ones are reserved for families (makes sense) and non binary people... Whats next, a special bathroom with a litter box in it for the .0001% of people who think they are cats? The name should tell you everything this place is about as PC as it gets. Not hating I just find it hilarious when I asked for the restroom code and get directed to the normie restroom.

I could easily eat every meal each day with what they prepare alone. I could totally forget how to cook and the cost difference is negligible let alone they make it much tastier and faster than I could ever hope. All the staff is really friendly and if I ever rent a new apartment it will be closer to this PCC!

Review №67

Wonderful location; lovely lighting (of course); decent wine/beer/cider selection featuring plenty of local/craft/artisinal options. Have received help picking out a cheese before, and the folks were helpful and knowledgeable. There never seems to be a very long check-out wait, especially with plenty of self-checkout kiosks. The deli has lots of options, most of which are pretty good. But, its still a PCC: dont expect to escape without paying an arm and a leg.

Review №78

There are 2 PCC markets I prefer to go to- this one on 71st, which has a better specialty/lotion etc area, and the one in Burien near my work, which is lacking in that area but has an amazing hot bar. The hot bar here is okay, and they have a great and attentive deli. Fresh produce costs a lot but you get high quality if you do get it. I mostly prefer the hot/cold bar, specialty cheeses and things of that nature. They carry a couple of kombucha and broth options I really prefer and cant find elsewhere, so thats great. If you get the soup, be sure to get their punch card so you can earn a free one over time. I also like that parking is always available in the lot down below.

I am a usual costumer of PCC and most of times they give incredible costumer service. But this time I tried to purchase a bottle of wine (I did it before) and the employees told me they only accept US and Canadian Passports( I am a Portuguese citizen)? Inconsistently in rules is really bad for customer satisfaction.

Excellent store.My only complaint is a combination of high prices and a lax policy towards shoplifting. You could literally steal from here everyday without consequence. And free food from the hot bar too.Also, good produce and meat section.

One of PCCs newer stores, the selection here is larger than most of their stores. The deli section is particularly large, which is outstanding because I love their offerings. They have validated parking too, which is nice in that area due to the limited parking around Greenlake. Driving to the location is a bit of a pain, but thats not a fault of the store itself but of that part of Greenlake.

Review №92

PCC started as a cooperative to serve local communities. Today it serves the hipsters, obfuscating the quality with the word organic plastered on each of its products.Their prices are so inflated one must wonder who the customers are. They are certainly not the communities who built the neighborhoods it pretends to serve today.

I love this PCC, and my go to section is the bulk foods! I love the organic basmati rice. I would also suggest some of there in house products like the hummus or the hot food sectuon.I do miss the coop model that I was use to when I lived in Wisconsin, where ownership involved volunteering once a month in the store or cafe.
