I have been shopping here for 6 years. Have never had any issues with the staff until now. The fact that I have to tell 3 different people within 2 min time that I am not putting on a mask is very disrespectful. I am in their establishment to spend my hard earned money. NOT TO BE HARASSED ! After a long day, I just wanna get my dinner and go home. These people are doing their business and their community a HUGE disservice treating paying customers like this. My family and I will find another store to do all of our shopping at πŸ‡ΊπŸ‡Έβœ¨ #VoteWithYourMoney

Great selection, from standard to high end goods. good produce section, big beer and wine selection.Tight spaces, so not a lot of social distancing.Checkout reasonably efficient, but express lanes arent always open and no self check so can get lined up.

Good selection of less common items. Good vegan and gluten free selections. Deli is good. Bakery is ok. Checking out is like playing roulette though. Customer service gamble for sure.

This store sits at the Junction, amid a few other large grocery chains. I usually go late afternoon, and the store was busy. The shelves were well stocked, and I found new items to try.

My favorite grocery store in West Seattle. Its always gone between Thriftway and Metropolitan Market as best in my opinion but the employees at the Thriftway make them scoot ahead as winner πŸ†. Always helpful and cordial. The cioppino is the best. I could eat it every day over rice for the rest of my life.

I was patiently waiting at the bakery for almost 5 minutes, while 4 employees yucked it up, did not acknowledge me whatsoever, then as I stared them down, they look at the ground while walking by me...Finally, a very kind employee who was working very quickly over at the Butcher block, finished helping her customer and rushed over to help me obtain my lemon tart which seemed to be too daunting of a task, prior to her rescuing! She made my 4 dollar treat, a 2 dollar treat to top it off! Thank you Olivia for saving my Thriftway experience, youre the best!

Great produce, meat, beer selections etc. BUT expensive for sure. I’m sure they pay their staff well and I support that.Me: *buys a bread, couple of beers, cookies, chicken*Cashier: that will be $80 plus an armMe: pays as directed cause it’s the closest grocery store to me and i couldn’t be bothered

Our go-to grocery store for the best produce, best locally raised organic meats, and best staff. Better than PCC, Whole Foods, etc. Always fun to shop there. And 5% off for seniors on Tuesdays.

Excellent Thriftway Store in West Seattle, this is really a nice store inside and I have shopped here many times and have always been happy with the quality. Very friendly folks inside they will help you with anything. The deli in particular is excellent quality food. Theres also a Chase Bank location inside.

Review β„–18

The place is great with plenty of good options, but I do not see the reason why the same products that are available in other stores are 2-3x more expensive? If @Thriftway can explain and back it up Ill change my rating.But yeah there are few products that are not available in others common stores and I like the think green incentive of compostable recyclable bags, kudos on that!But the prices man, they should not be that high...

Thriftway is a fabulous, locally-owned, family run grocery store with amazing deli, gourmet cheese, and housewares section full of fun finds!

Review β„–24

Great market and one of my go to places for higher end items. The produce always looks amazing. Jack Mountain chops on the butcher case and we just tried the Neuskes bacon, which filled the house with the aroma of woodsmoke and head a rich, outstanding flavor. They carry a large selection of European butter, freshly baked breads and a great selection of cheese. If you like chocolate, theres a mouth watering amount of the good stuff.

This is a great local grocer with a great staff. Really nice helpful folks seriously. And I go here ALL hours of the day. Too often I’m waltzing in around 11:45 when they close at 12am and they are just as helpful. Some folks say they are a little expensive, I say... πŸ€·πŸΎβ€β™‚οΈ the service and selection are worth a few pennies more. Nice produce and meat selection.

Wow! Prices here are literally double, the checkout stands seem to go fairly fast but I have to tell you I have taken more meat back from that store than anywhere else in West Seattle !several times I have gotten home and was ready to cook dinner and the meat was rotten now I poke a hole in it and smell it before I buy it thats just what I have to do there yikes

Was my go-to store for the past 6 yrs until I recently moved away. The thing I appreciated most was that I never waited in some crazy long line. Theyre incredibly adept at adjusting checkers for peak moments. I noticed it countless times. It translated to me as great customer service - get customers in and out. Nothing more frustrating that waiting longer in a line to pay, than it took me to shop. I never had that issue here.The only reason why I didnt give a 5-star is because their prices are literally 20% more expensive that most other local stores (Safeway, QFC, etc).But its also locally owned, and they do a lot of nice events for the community, and I wanted to support a locally owned business. But boy, their produce and meats are spendy.

Best grocery in town IMHO. They treat their staff well and stock great produce, meats and dairy. The deli has great sandwiches and salads. Prices are very reasonable and they keep Western Family products on hand for most of your staples.

Review β„–38

I went in looking for some lunch meat so I walked over the the meat section and tried some but one of the employees asked me to stop. The nerve of this guy absolutely infuriated me so I punted him in the head and he tried to run away so I chanced after him and jumped on his back. Three other guys showed up and pulled me off of him but I think my message got through.

Review β„–41

I don’t have much to say about the shopping experience, it’s hella expensive but that’s expected. But I ordered chicken tenders and fries from the deli and the fries were soggy and I found a hair in my food! Absolutely disgusting. I have an illness that makes me especially prone to getting sick from germs, so I am never eating here again.

Review β„–42

Its a really nice store but its incredibly expensive. I cant believe people shop here regularly and willingly spend 50%-200% more on the same products. I live nearby and I WANT to love it but the prices are just laughable. FWIW Im referencing NYC/Boston food prices for comparison.

Review β„–43

Love this place. Love the quality of food either off the shelf or at their made-to-order grill. Staff are always incredibly friendly and I love their seasonal specials: roasted hatch chilies in the parking lot in summer, cheese specials in the fall, you can’t go wrong.

Review β„–44

Nice, clean store. But, the name thriftway is a little misleading. 5 minutes ago a cashier openly laughed at me with a co-worker for only buying 3 green beans, 2 celery sticks, and two potatoes (in front of me) Even poor folks need to buy dinner 😒. honestly, if I didnt live walking distance from the store, I might not return. Embarrassment is real, regardless of quality of food. But the food is good here.

Review β„–61

I’ve found that prices are much higher than other grocery stores (as others have mentioned), which normally I would be fine with if it was made-up for by good customer service or good quality products. I personally haven’t experienced either of those so it’s just not worth it for me to shop here anymore.

Review β„–88

Good presentation throughout the store. A bit pricey. I dont understand how the packaged cut fruits can be 3 times more expensive than safeway (with the card) and twice as expensive as QFC (with card as well). I hope that it means that their fruit section does not have pesticides and other chemicals. Same with their meat, i hope that the higher prices mean that it is not highly processed food etc. I dont mind paying more if it is good for my health. Please tell me this is the case.

The West Seattle Thriftway, located south of the Junction, is my go-to stop for a quick bite to eat, groceries and a fine diverse selection of beverages when Im Im the neighborhood.. Whether you need a fresh made panini, a beer from a local micro-brewery or a just your run of the mill regular groceries, you can find it all. They also have a great flower selection and carry a variety of quality pans, gadgets, dishes, and seasonal decor for the kitchen and dining room. Useful if you need a gift in a pinch. The staff was pleasant and helpful when I needed help. Worth a visit.

This thriftway is a nice upscale one. Small hot food case, and also a pizza counter, as well as espresso counter. Good wine liquor beer selection. Organic produce and seafood counter. Some ready to cook selections too. Friendly helpful staff. Parking lot can be tight with Vashon commuters shopping enroute home.

The staff are all warm and friendly. All different types of people and personalities but all wonderful. Many have been there for years (18+ years possibly) so its nice to see that. They carry lots of locally produced items and sometimes new stuff from all over the world- or at least Ive never seen. They even carry the baby formula after I requested it. A really great place to have in the neighborhood. Feels like family.
