Top Banana is clearly dedicated to providing fresh, exciting produce to the community. The owner is so kind and knowledgeable. The prices here are very fair, and meals crafted with ingredients from Top Banana are always top notch.

Christa is kind, cool and friendly whenever I have questions or want anything in particular. The main love I have for them is that everything is organic AND plenty of variety to select from! Yams, carrots, garlic? They gots 'em, yo. Their booth size is very decent covering a variety of roots, greens, herbs and jams. Lately, I've been loading up on potatoes, sweet potatoes and yams for steaming and baking. They're located south in the arcade - just a short walk north from the flying fish crowd. Thumbs up & much love!

The first week of our CSA at Growing Washington I cooked up some golden beets that arrived in our…read morebox. After one bite, my husband (who mostly ate spinach has his primary veggie), announced, "I never thought I liked beets, but these taste sooo good!!!" Growing Washington changed the way we cook and eat!!! We've been members of this CSA for three years and have offered our front porch as a hosting site. They provide 100% LOCAL and ORGANIC fruits, veggies, and even butter, flour, fresh flowers, herbs, and eggs. All the products are fresh and unique. The BEST thing about this CSA is that they provide a LIST of all the FRESH stuff on the farm that week, and you CHOOSE what works best for your taste, cooking style, and needs. You can be adventurous one week, and conservative next week. It's all so flavorful and delicious. I've been particularly impressed with the service. We've been going with the CSA for three years and anytime there has been questionable quality they always replace it, no questions asked. Two weeks in a row we got some icky misuna, and the third week they sent us FLOWERS. I always feel like I end up on top. Just another reason to love summer in Seattle.

I couldn't imagine how a local market could have a good burger, as most don't have grills. This place did not disappoint. The market itself was very clean, well stocked and had a good variety. I went to the burger counter, and ordered as I watched the grill with roughly 30 burgers cooking at once. The woman was very friendly, patient and helpful when I explained it was my first time. I decided on ordering two. It proved to be a good idea. The burger was fantastic, cheese radio was good, flavor was good. For the $7 price tag, it is a no brainer. Go for lunch. And get some grocery shopping in as well,

They're union, they're extremely helpful (I've had off-duty people help me find things, I mean COME ON this is nuts), and the selection is unparalleled. Finally used the grocery pickup option as we're shielding so we can see an Immunocompromised friend, and I'll never use another. Not only is the quality of the produce better, but our shopper made sure that we received a much-needed substitution treat when our original choice was out. Not usually one for treats, but now more than ever, some cookies and kindness go a really long way (shoutout to Ali you're aces).

Knowing that they had just reopened after closing for a month, it was heart-wrenching watching the firefighters drill through the front door because I knew this would be a catastrophic loss. (The firemen responded within minutes and the fire was only on the porch as far as I could see.) This was a small business with affordable produce and snacks. It was a good grab-and-go store that served the neighborhood for over 30 years. I would swing by 2-3 times a week because it's a much better alternative to pricey Whole Foods down the street. The staff were always kind and helpful. I wish I had seen or heard something that night. I don't even want to believe it. Why even do this? Now the last best thing in Roosevelt is gone. Where do we go now for groceries? How many more businesses do we need to lose in this neighborhood?

Sure, not everything looked 100% good, but you buy the stuff that does and it tastes so much better. Can you hand on heart say that all produce looks fresh in a Safeway? Um, no!

I started my New Roots "subscription" back up a few months ago and Oh My God I am so glad I did!…read more The customer service is still absolutely amazing.* The fruits and veggies are still tasty and interesting. The delivery to my doorstep is still super-fantastic. The new beautiful things? They now have fruit-only and veggie-only bins! And more importantly... YOU CAN NOW MAKE SUBSTITUTIONS ON THE SITE AND BUY EXTRA ITEMS IF YOU WANT TO! I believe you're limited to 5 substitutions per bin, but that's still awesome! Sometimes I haven't finished the apples yet or know I won't want a certain item the following week, and I love that I can edit my order right on the website (instead of having to email or call). I do like going to shops and markets and picking out my own things, but experience has shown me that I just don't make enough time for that to actually have produce available in my kitchen every day/week. This way I get to discover new items, only have to decide on any substitutions I might want, and it shows up on my doorstep every Tuesday so I always have some (healthy!) food available at home without needing to go shopping. I LOVE IT! *Case of amazing customer service: The owner Carolyn recently called me because she noticed that I had selected the fruit bin, but kept substituting vegetables in. She wanted to suggest switching to the personal mixed bin because then I'd be able to still get fruit and a bunch of other items. I'm so happy I did that because with the fruit bin I kept going crazy and ordering like 10-15 bananas each time. Now I limit myself to 2-4 bananas and get a wider variety of veggies/fruit instead!

A few days ago, I came in to get a breakfast bagel with no meat. The manager was helping the woman…read morewho was pricing and told take $1 off because there was no meat and that's the most expensive part of the sandwich. Between that and the coffee, it was a great deal and I decided to make it a more regular thing. When I came back today, another woman priced my sandwich and charged me the same as one with meat. I politely asked her if she could take the $1 off because there was no meat and her response was "Actually, I'm charging you an extra dollar for making it custom." Mind you, there was another woman making breakfast sandwiches behind her... I then watched her take an already made one with meat on it, take off the meat, and then put it in to be heated up. This entire time she was "preparing" my "custom" sandwich, her mask was also below her nose and she was whispering to the other girl and looking back at me. I typically really like MarketTime but that woman is awful. I wasn't rude to her when I asked and her response was really uncalled for. It would have been just fine to say "I'm sorry, I can't do that", or "I'm not sure I'm allowed to do that", or " we have to charge all the sandwiches for the same price point". Here's a photo of the egg with meat bits and seasoning still on it.

It has been quite convenient to have this QFC as the closest grocery store from home. What I like…read moremost about it is that price is mostly reasonable and there is sales going on for some staple items always. Produce quality is pretty good and I've never had anything go bad in too short period of time. They also have a small international food section where I sometimes buy Asian snacks and ramen - I usually do my shopping for Asian groceries elsewhere, but when I'm in a hitch or randomly craving Asian food, I have an emergency stop at QFC. I also buy Japanese condiments like mirin and cooking sake from their alcohol section, which is a big win too! I saw another review about the deli section closing early and I did notice that - I asked what the operating hour is to the lady working there one day, and she told me on a good day it's open until 4 pm but they are generally understaffed. I haven't visited the deli section in months so it may be different now, but I hope the issue has been resolved. I always go through the self cashier but QFC staff are polite and helpful whenever I have issue with the machine. Some sale items wouldn't show up discounted, so you should watch out for that. When I ask the staff if they could correct the price, they are more than willing to fix it. Another pro is that the wifi game is strong - it's interesting to me because I feel like wifis weren't a thing in grocery stores in New York. Without the wifi you can't get any cell service, but once you join the wifi network, it connects immediately every time you enter the store.

I can pretty much get whatever I need at this store. Buy lately, this store likes to close early... like 20 min early. I get it that it's late when they are supposed to close at 1am.. but that's their posted closing time. What else are we supposed to go by?! So when they close and lock doors before 1245, it is frustrating for someone that rushed to make it before closing only to get turned away when you should still have 15-20 mins to get in and out. Adjust your closing time to something earlier or stay open until you say you will!
