One of the things we love about this butcher shop is that they will cut the meat to your specifications--which makes food prep a whole lot easier on me. I have never been disappointed in their product or their service! Pro-tip: if you follow them on Facebook they post their weekly specials and weekly family meals. Pro-tip #2: get the spinach feta chicken sausages--those are the bomb!

As far as butchers go, this place is pretty classy. They're kinda snobby- the kind of place i…read morewould expect to find in Seattle or NYC. But holy shit do they have the meats. Most impressively are their selection of bacon and sausage varieties and ground meat types. They also have a nice selection of locally made cured sausages and meats as well, such as prosciutto and prosciuttini. Some of their items are a little spendy, but its to be expected given our location, but other items, such as their 85/15% ground beef is CHEAPER than the grocery store. If that isn't incentive to shop there, I don't know what is.

Best handmade pasta I have ever had!…read more Saying I'm a pasta aficionado is a gross understatement. My answer to the "if you could only eat one thing..." question has been pasta, for as long as I could vocalize that word. I've made my own at home. I've bought artisan, hand-cut pastas at markets all over the western US. I've brought back pasta from Italy. Never have I been so delighted with unsauced pasta as the moment I discovered La Grassa. Karl and Rebecca are the husband and wife team behind LG. They met in culinary school and did an intensive in Italy together, and they are clearly a match made in gastronomic heaven. Their vegan ravioli options are particularly incredible. I fell in love with La Grassa for their golden beet and goat cheese, but it was the charred kale and white bean vegan ravioli that brought a tear to my eye and currently tops my list of favorites. Those don't tickle your fancy? Not to worry. Every week, they have hand-cut spinach and regular noodles in three different thicknesses, strozzapretti, at least two kinds of ravioli that rotate regularly, and usually at least one other option - potato gnocchi, parmesan and kale gnoccheti, or some other delightful surprise. Stop by the Wednesday Market at the Sears Mall and pick up some ravioli. $8 for 6 oz - usually 8 or 9 pieces. I rarely have life-changing food adventures, but this is one of them. Don't miss out.

I was so taken by this handmade pasta that I started a yelp page for it. After my husband and I…read morerecently attempted to make ravioli and fettuccini by hand, I gained a whole new respect for the stuff. It tastes better fresh but is definitely labor intensive and time consuming. The ravioli I got was perfectly stuffed with roasted golden beets, tart goat cheese, and almonds. I ate it with a simple improvised pesto made of olive oil and Italian seasonings and it was grrreeeat. I haven't tried the spinach tagliatelle yet but I assume it will be equally delicious. There are directions in the bag saying how long to boil each variety. The guy who sold the pasta was the owner/chef (with his fiancé) and was really nice and passionate about his pasta. I recommend everyone go get some, then turn around and buy a dozen macaroons at sweet caribou. I will definitely go back for seconds!

In the summer it's all from Alaska and in the winter they supplement from some great farms in Washington. Their customer service is top notch and they have a super easy to use website to order from and customize your "produce share". You can get everything from Alaska milk, eggs, and meat to kelp salsa and Alaska barley products. The variety of fresh produce available is also fantastic and I always get something fun I wouldn't of tried otherwise (but you CAN choose exactly what you want).

I came in with a client who happens to have special needs. I arrived first to get the lay of the land. Sutton, the man behind the smoothie bar, was warm and welcoming. When he learned that I was waiting on a client, he immediately asked me kindheartedly if he could accommodate my client in any way- reducing the volume on the music, lights, etc. Once my client arrived, Sutton worked some serious magic, engaging my client in conversation, teaching about how the smoothie machines worked, and generally being a decent human being towards my client who is often marginalized. Their conversation nearly made me tear up. This visit started off as a journey to learn about a new business in town and how to order a smoothie and turned into one of the best outings my client and I have done. Go for the great vibes, tasty smoothies, inviting atmosphere, great produce-- but most of all go support this wonderful business with a heart of gold.

I want to like this store so badly. Really I just want it to be a Sprouts or Whole Foods. This…read morestore has the potential to be so so much better than it is. But I think it needs a big overhaul and change so that it can be better. For starters. This store is expensive. Even the common brands you can find in any grocery store in town have a large markup. Like a few dollars more for the same jar of Bonne Maman raspberry preserves compared to Walmart, Target, or Fred Meyer. For carrots there's an outrageous markup. Organic carrots are better off bought anywhere else. The produce section is cool for more exotic fruits, organic, dressings and less commonly found goodies. But there's a high price to pay. I wish that they'd use the deli area like a Whole Foods or the meat counter actually has fresh meat with an in house butcher like Fred Meyer or Carrs. It has the potential. The people who work here are kind of grim and show zero eagerness to help you find anything, great you or just show friendliness. Finding a fresh bread or artisan bread here feels impossible. Don't even waste your time. But looking for crème fraiche and caviar was a success though I do wish they had more options for both of them. I will be back. Maybe around Christmas when I need a specialty food. I hope they make improvements to really thrive. Oh and by the way the pink pineapple they sold me was totally mold but I'd never know that in store because they're packed in boxes.
