If you crave Ethiopian food as much as I do and love to explore cuisines as a whole...this place is what you call "the motherload." Prices are more than friendly. They sell fresh injera daily. Both teff (darker color) & regular...get teff - it's sight more expensive but it's the real authentic deal. Don't get me started on the health benefits of injera made from real teff. This is not the restaurant stuff. The restaurant stuff has filler so it's closer to bread. Teff has much less calories, more fiber, gluten free, and what I believe will eventually be the next quinoa or chickpea superfood fad. And no, I'm not a hipster. Chickpeas & quinoa taste like sand to me. Teff is sour soft goodness! They have fair priced spices from fennel to cardamom to tumeric to koset to mimitas...hopefully I spelled everything right lol. There's a lot more I can't even translate. They only set you back $5 per pack. They also have some Ethiopian coffee stuff. It's a store with juice, ice cream, scratchers etc as well. The shop keepers are so amazingly friendly. I've been to Amy's Merkato in Central District before to buy injera. It was a OK experience. The older man was distant compare to the owners at Harambe. They were both so friendly!!! I'll be a sure customer for years to come. They do take credit card but I believe it's for purchases over $10.

I walked in on a gorgeous peach display and though I had no intention of buying any I wound up deciding to take two home because they were so perfectly ripe. The first one I picked up had just the tiniest bit of that give which is so inviting. I didn't even want to look at the price because I was supposed to be doing "budget shopping." But when it comes to stone fruit that ripens in the summer? Irresistible. I walked in starving, it was late lunchtime, and everyone else was apparently trying to get a bite because the ready-made food here is somehow so good. I was tempted to get the brisket sandwich because I saw the way the young Chef seemed to be making it with such care and skill... But I headed over for something a little lighter and picked up an amazing locks on bagel sandwich which included the capers and the crisp slice of onion that always adds the nice sharpness. Then I decided to try out their tasting option because the dude behind the deli counter was friendly and approachable: He seemed happy doing his job. So I wound up tasting four things then getting their salmon pasta salad as well as the Mediterranean salad which was flavored fantastically, not too much vinegar, and also their beet salad. I saw someone at the soup counter going crazy about the curry chicken but I didn't see any prices and when I asked him how much it was, we looked around and didn't see the price and I decided not to risk what could turn out to be an expensive surprise at this time. For sales, what blew me away was how the Lacroix for $3.99 per 12 pack. I took home 6 of those 12-packs because it's summer and it's an affordable alternative to alcohol that is refreshing and bubbly. There was another brand I've never seen before called rumble and it was on sale two for five dollars I'll come back for that. As it so happened, some of their kombucha was also on sale which is always appealing. I decided to try a new brand with two new flavors. At the register the tall young woman (wish I remembered her name) was very helpful when I asked for her best recommendation for a good but affordable chocolate bar -- she mentioned Met Market's own brand $2.99 and pointed it out...and then when I asked about her favorite she showed me the Chao (?) $5.98 brand which I had never purchased before. Eventually I went with Moonstruck a Portland brand I've tried before, for $4.99. They had a dark chocolate with blueberry that was new to me. Then the amazing associate helping bag my purchases saw how many bags I had and seamlessly asked if I needed a shopping cart or if I would like help out. I decided to opt for the latter, thinking I would tip out of gratitude. But Kristi generously helped me and then graciously refused anything. With a calm smile, when she picked up my distress, she explained it was policy not to accept when I tried to insist -- she was both disciplined and firm in such a professional way all I could do is feel grateful. She deserves a shoutout. It was barely 3 minutes of bagging and walking but between that conversation at the register and the consummate professional customer service that Kristi demonstrated so gracefully...I actually felt for the first time that there was a genuine connection with the that I will look forward to the next time I walk into the store. Now if I see her again I'll ask how her son is doing on his Crew team (when I asked she told me that's where she was going after work to take her son to crew) -- because I used to be a Coxswain. You would think that there's no way to make connections in a grocery store but this Met Market maybe proving me wrong. Later that evening plans abruptly changed and I needed to pick up a small birthday cake to celebrate someone's birthday last minute. I decided to go back to Met Market because I had seen the individually sized birthday cake cakes in the cooler earlier during my lunch run. I decided to go with a chocolate raspberry cake for $13.99 over the birthday cake that was vanilla frosted with beautiful sprinkles that was $9.99. Uncertain if my son would prefer Pie over cake, I decided to splurge and also pick up the best pie our family agrees we've ever tasted -- Whidbey Island Pies -- and selected a cherry to take home with me. Then I stopped by the chocolate section and picked up four different bars including Moonstruck from Portland, Chao the brand recommended by the register team person earlier in the day, as well as Neuhaus (?) as a small birthday treat because my son loves dark chocolate. Sometimes a good connection goes a long way to making us feel like we have a place to go. I appreciate that this Met Market staff team for understanding that.

I was unsure of the offerings by the name and that I had not been before and found it to be groceries and household items. The diversity of offered items was depth within a particular item space. Seasonal items were also well presented. Looking for cards, I found some though they were on the pricey side per my experience. Looking to see it they had a small candy item, I found good variety and prices in the chocolate bar options. I chose a dark chocolate Chocolove chilies and cherries item that was less than $3.50.

The prices are insanely high, they are even higher than PCC for many items. The people that work there are a mix, some are super friendly and nice, but there are a couple weirdos that work there that make me turn around if I walk in and see it's only them working at the registers. Their names are Jimmie and Sam. Sam sells chocolate bars he makes at the store, or the store sells them? Any way, I don't eat chocolate bars or dairy and they are made with milk chocolate. And they are $7. I think it's great to support people, but I won't eat the chocolate bars and the store is already too expensive, so I'm not going to buy it and there is SO MUCH PRESSURE TO BUY THE CHOCOLATE. And Sam has a major attitude because I don't want to buy the stupid chocolate bars. Very passive aggressive. With rising costs everywhere the last thing I want is to be pressured to buy something I don't want at a grocery store when I'm just struggling to survive. And Jimmie is just a major weirdo. There are also a few older ladies that always have an attitude for no apparent. I'm a very friendly and polite person, but I'm also the customer so I shouldn't be the one greeting them and telling them to have a nice day while they basically tell me to f*** off. It's very much a small town vibe and I feel like an outsider the shouldn't be there. I am very grateful for Grocery Outlet opening near by so I mostly go there for last minute items and I avoid Thriftway at all costs because I don't want to be pressured into buying the stupid gross chocolate or deal with weirdos with attitude.
