Nancy ChaseFebruary 20, 2015I love this market. Lots of gourmet items, wonderful cheeses, great bakery, good salad bar. And an interesting selection of kitchen gadgets.
Crystal MullinMarch 16, 2014They have a ton of free samples and things that I could not find anywhere else so be sure to ask for what you want, its probably in the back. Also they don't have a smoker so get your own.
Katy JensenMarch 30, 2012Get the chocolate milk from Twin Brook Creamery. All the milk from the creamery comes in glass bottles, so you pay a refundable bottle deposit when you buy it....but it's sooo good.Upvoted Oct 20
Wendy Van VechtenDecember 30, 2015Large market with many specialty items and many prepared foods. They carry bread from 30 bakeries. Although not the least expensive market to frequent, it is place I enjoy shopping.
Ah, The Cookie. It greets you upon entry. They’re so good... especially fresh and warm.
Allan BNovember 26, 2015Metropolitan Market has won the title: #1 Best Gourmet Grocery, by Evening Magazine's - Best of Western Washington (2015)
AndreaOctober 6, 2013Fancy dancy grocery store similar to Whole Foods or Zupans with good looking produce and nifty specialty foods- Cheese, seafood, produce and wine are worth the extra cost. And they get to know their local regulars. Love you guys!
In the deli, they sell a $10 free range chicken roaster. It is so good...and an excellent price!
Amazing chocolate chip cookies but they don't sell bagel bites so....
If you like Lamb they have a pretty terrific Ground Lamb for burgers, or Pasta I've even used in Meatloaf!!
- If you need cheese - Julia is the Queen of Cheese! If you need Seafood - Mitch Rules the Met Market Sea!!
Sharon P.February 24, 2013They are the only store where I found lime marmalade for my coconut lime bread!
Any of their soups are absolutely fantastic. They have a great imported beer & cheese selection too!- Sharon P.February 24, 2013Good selection of gluten free products which are stocked with the regular products.
Stay away from their desserts because they know if you walk by you'll grab one 🍨
Mare HughesAugust 28, 2011Checking in at Metropolitan Market for their Frog Hollow Organic Peaches. I need the best for my Peach Cobbler.
Crab and artichoke dip and the fresh made guacamole is great!
Beer can be bought in singles. Mix and match for your dream six-pack.
The tomato Basil soup and a baguette is probably the best thing that could ever happen to you.
- Salads Coffee & Gelatiamo Gelato or a few of my faves here
- Sure it's pretentious but it feels good to be fancy. Whoopie pies are to die for!
