Simply the best quality food and specialty grocery items available in my area. This is a special…read moreoccasion trip for me, otherwise I wouldn't be able to keep my grocery bill within budget. But when I want something special, this is the place. Christmas Eve at our house usually involves crab cakes and salad, scallops and white wine, crusty bread, etc. This is where we fill the cart. We haven't quite lived up to the Italian tradition of the feast of the seven fishes; I usually manage four or five fishes, but this is where we get them. This year the menu was shrimp bisque, shrimp cocktail, crab cakes and scallops. Plus a few Fran's salted caramels as a stocking stuffer. No photos this time. You have to use your imagination.

I'm writing this review to bring awareness to anyone considering employment at this location. Based…read moreon my experience, I would strongly advise thinking carefully before applying. To start, the management at this store has been extremely disappointing. There appears to be a serious lack of organization, communication, and accountability among store leadership. Employee concerns often seem to go unaddressed, and there is little indication that feedback is being taken seriously. The high turnover in having guest service leaders (GSL'particularly among leadership, is concerning and raises questions about the overall work environment. Another major concern is the lack of opportunities for internal advancement. Despite having more than a year of experience with the company, I applied for a leadership position twice and was not selected. Instead, the positions were given to individuals with significantly less experience. While I understand that hiring decisions involve multiple factors, this experience left me feeling that hard work, experience, and a genuine desire to grow within the company are not necessarily recognized or rewarded at this location. The workplace culture is another significant issue. Without naming individuals, I have witnessed behavior that I believe reflects poor leadership, including manipulation, a lack of accountability, and interactions that negatively affect employee morale. Over time, I have seen the front-end team lose several capable and experienced leaders, leaving the department increasingly understaffed. I have also seen coworkers with leadership potential choose to transfer elsewhere. When multiple employees leave or seek opportunities at other locations, it is worth considering whether management and workplace culture are contributing factors. Staffing and turnover are additional concerns, particularly in the front end. Based on what I have experienced, these departments have struggled with consistency and adequate staffing. This creates additional pressure on the employees who remain and contributes to an already frustrating work environment. If you are considering applying here, I encourage you to ask questions about management, staffing, employee retention, and opportunities for advancement before accepting a position. Keep records of workplace concerns, including relevant dates and communications, and familiarize yourself with your rights. If you are a union member, consider speaking with your union representative if you believe an issue needs to be addressed. Ultimately, this review reflects my personal experience and observations. I believe employees deserve respectful leadership, clear communication, fair opportunities for advancement, and a workplace where their concerns are taken seriously. Unfortunately, I have not consistently experienced those things at this location. I hope this review helps prospective employees make a more informed decision before applying. Good luck to anyone considering working here.

The wide aisle makes it very easy to move around. I come here at least twice a week. One disappointment was that you took away the deli case and replaced it with the pre-packaged salads, made me sad. Any chance that the deli counter can be brought back to its previous popular stop spot? We love to have the selection and variety not a pre packaged. It's okay to have some prepackaged salads and sides like previous settings. I sure missed the kombucha that dispensed from the kegerator at the juice bar. I wasn't happy but do understand that it wasn't selling and has to be discontinued.

That said, after today's visit, I stand corrected. The exterior is run down and the lighting inside is depressing, but the place is clean, the staff is nice and the pricing is competitive. If this place had a robust meat selection, I think they could give Uwajimaya a run. I didn't find everything I was looking for, but the dry spices and vegetables were exactly what I was after. I didn't see cabbage or celery, but the selection was still more diverse than any other store I've visited. My singular knock was the two guys stocking the store. Both were kind and polite, but they also had radios blasting music. I'm sensitive to sound, so it made it hard for me to focus and I'm sure a couple items I was after I missed, because I couldn't stay in the area where they were stocking merch. Bulk spices tend to last, so it may be a minute before I find my way back here. That said, this will be my go to spice store.

Worth checking out, especially if you are in need of some lesser known or harder to find ethnic items for cooking. Gigantic selection of South Asian staples, in particular. The size of the selection is honestly astounding. Also some very original, for this area, items such as Afghani bread. Very cool. On the con side, it's a bit ramshackle and untidy or run down in appearance. Very popular, tho.

Local Roots Farm Store is a fruit and veggie store in Duvall run by the owners of Local Roots Farm…read more It is located in Valley Center, just off Main Street NE, the main road in town. The store stocks produce grown by Local Roots, but also stocks produce from other regional growers, as well as products like cheeses and fresh pasta from local producers. It is also an unexpectedly good gourmet specialty food shop given its rural location. This includes wines and specialty goods like tinned fish and sauces. They stock upscale goods to supplement your grocery trip down the road at Safeway. Particularly imported Italian items, which an Italophile would love. If you live near Duvall and are looking for local produce and specialty food items, it is a good place to look if you do not feel like driving to Bellevue or Redmond for the same goods.

They also have some decent non food items like knit hats, t-shirts, hand-made cards and Japanese ceramic wares. It was so fun taking my time browsing for fun things to buy. You can totally take your time the ladies there made me and my friend comfortable shopping and circling the same section multiple times. If you pass by Duvall, you must go check it out. Not right on the Main Street. It's at the complex after the Thai Duvall restaurant. Will definitely shop there again!
