While I understand there is a Washington state bag law, the employee's approach felt completely aggressive and unnecessary for a 24-cent issue. Metropolitan Market already charges premium prices, and being policed over paper bags at a self-checkout is an incredibly uninviting customer experience. I will definitely think twice before coming back to this location.

If I could rate lower I would. The worst place only because of the last that works at night. I literally just waited for 2 minutes for her to chnage her change from her personal wallet into cash from the register without her saying a word to me (knowing i was waiting to pay). Everyone else who is there is a delight. When I have the displeasure of her being there to attend the store my night is ruined. She acts like an ass. However, if you need items from a convenience store go across the street to the nice family business who cares about their community. -disappointed read more

Three generations of the DeLaurenti family oversaw it until 2001 when three local Seattleites took over the reins for the past 25 years to date, Pat McCarthy, Matt Snyder, and Nate Plutko. I'm a Washingtonian since 1973 and have enjoyed seeing this at the corner of 1st and Pike. Numerous visits, but my most recent detour was on 2/16/26. I love gawking at the various sundries and specialty items available especially the chocolates, spices, sauces, olive oils, pasta, ad naseum. Just wander along each aisle, you'll understand and be inspired. Also, what an expansive meat and cheese case with knowledgeable staff for your charcuterie needs! Upstairs you can find a decent selection of wine and spirits and an apertivo spot to have a glass and a bite. I was full from my pasta bowl at nearby Pasta Casalinga, but was eyeing the charcuterie cone. Imagine tasty nibbles to snack on while wandering the rest of the market. Back on the main floor towards 1st Avenue, there's a busy espresso bar and where one can get an Italian panini or pizza slices to go. Highly recommended while at Pike Place Market. Buon Appetito!

When it first opened, it was staffed by a group of older women who were consistently courteous, welcoming, and friendly. The store itself carries a decent selection of convenience items, although the two nearby markets offer considerably more variety. The deli counter serves Boar's Head meats and cheeses, which is fairly standard for neighborhood delis in the area and doesn't particularly distinguish this shop from its competitors. More recently, a younger crew appears to have taken over the morning and lunch shifts, and the difference in both service and food preparation has been noticeable. Interactions often feel rushed and dismissive, with employees coming across as short or outright rude. The level of hospitality that made this place pleasant when it first opened seems to have disappeared. A significant portion of the current lunch business appears to come from the construction site across the street. It will be interesting to see whether that traffic continues once the project is finished and the construction crews move on. For now, I'd recommend exploring the other deli and sandwich options nearby. There simply isn't enough here--in selection, food quality, or especially customer service--to justify choosing this place over its many nearby alternatives. Hopefully the welcoming atmosphere and hospitality it had when it first opened eventually return.
