It's a reduced price, not wholesale, place for chefs, cooks and restaurant owners to pick up bulk supplies for reasonable prices. They're not going to get any lower than this especially if you order through the mail. Today I picked up a case of monster energy drinks which is 24 for $38 and now I don't have to pay the ridiculous price of 3.79 each. There are supplies even for barista stands things like cups and stirrers and coffee syrups and coffee beans and the like. A good supply of essential professional cooking cookware like inserts, whips and utensils and some really good knives. For the bar there are dozens of different Frozen appetizers that patrons love like deep fried shrimp, chicken strips, zucchini, even pickles breaded, onion rings and other things like burritos, chicken strips and the like. They have a whole walk-in dairy refrigerator it's bigger than my bedroom which is quite nice when you need a lot of supplies and don't like the crowns of the supermarkets. No you do not need to be a member or have a special sign or club membership to shop here and no there is no fee for that it's just like a regular supermarket only with a different kind of display setup. In fact there is no display setup. They just open the containers for you to see what you're getting and then you can buy brand new containers of what you like. In some instances they will break a case like cleaning supplies, pinesol and other things too. Sometimes it's fun just to come out here because you never know what you see that will surprise you. Location could be better, it's off the beaten path past 130th Street North and Stone avenue North off to the east side kind of tucked away there. By the way, I still call it cash and carry because it has a nice ring to it.

Convenient location in North Seattle, ample parking, no membership needed, and prices often lower than local grocery stores and Costco. Most people who shop here are office, food service, restaurant, cafe, and catering staff. But the general public can also score great stuff in bulk, larger quantities. Perfect for those big gatherings. I've stopped in for kitchen gear, picnic supplies, spices, condiments, baking ingredients, and dairy products. Convenience and savings without the crazy crowds.

The manager told me yes he would give me 50% off I said thank you he went to get the utility knife to cut the mat that I want it and when he retired, he cut the bad part off, rolled out the mat cut 7 feet what I needed and then charge me full price. I snatched my credit card out in barest in front of everybody and told him you just told me you was giving me 50% off. He didn't wanna honor what he just told me so now he said he was gonna throw it away and I wasn't getting nothing since I didn't want to pay full price wow.

But you can also find extremely itself things for your home kitchen! I needed steak knives. I went to multiple household departments of major store chains, only to find that the only knives they sold were either butter knives bundled with full sets of spoons and forks, or big knife blocks for $70+ that also included many other knives that I was not in need of. So I decided to give a restaurant supply shop a shot. $6 later I had 12 absolutely solid restaurant quality steak knives in my possession. My utensil drawer overfloweth. There was no smaller quantity available, but beggars can't be choosers I suppose. The bottom line is that I can now cook and serve steak for 12 PEOPLE without having to wash a single utensil. Except forks. I think I need more forks now... but the good news is that I know a place!

I would buy Instant Chai packets and too often I would be disappointed after one sip and honest to god I would just toss away the whole box as it's not worth it but Jaipur Avenue changed that perception. Based out of Seattle, their tea is sourced, prepared and packaged in India. But kid you not, I have tried most of their flavors and they all kick up a storm a good one indeed full of aromatic spices and just a tad bit sweet. Some of my favorite chai blends are Original Masala Chai which is packed with black tea extract, spice blend extract (ginger, black pepper, green cardamom, black cardamom, clove, mace, nutmeg, and cinnamon) and the other 2 blends are Ginger and Saffron. They have tons of other blends too, without sugar as well. I always keep 2-3 packets of Jaipur Avenue Masala/Saffron/Ginger at work and same at home. Just add hot water and boom you have instant gratification.
