8/5/2026 - My family and I just had one of the worst customer service experiences we've ever had at…read moreMetropolitan Market in Gig Harbor. When we walked up to the checkout, the cashier and the employee bagging groceries were engaged in a conversation and laughing together. We completely understand that employees interact with one another, but once customers are at the register, they should feel acknowledged. Unfortunately, neither employee looked up, smiled, greeted us, or said a single word during the transaction. The only thing the cashier said was while handing me the receipt, and it was so quiet I couldn't even understand what was said. The lack of even basic acknowledgment made us feel like an interruption rather than valued customers. Metropolitan Market has always had a reputation for exceptional service, which is why this experience was so surprising and disappointing. I hope this was simply an isolated incident, but it's something management should be aware of.

They offer 2 types of cookies, chocolate chip and my favorite peanut butter cookie! I love that the PB cookie has both peanut butter chips and chopped Virginia peanuts in it and if you time it right their cookies are still warm like it is right out of the oven ! One of the best peanut butter cookies I've ever had! BTW My review is based solely on their freshly baked cookies.

I have been to Finholm's twice now! It's located in an area if Gig Harbor I wasn't familiar with at…read moreall and apparently it's the area where the town's original downtown was located. Finholm's has a lot of history in this neighborhood and there is a nearby sign where you can read up on some of it. Inside the store I wouldn't exactly call it a full fledged supermarket but there are plenty of snacky items and the beer selection is great! There are a lot of brands of beer that aren't commonly seen in the area so if you are into craft beer there is a lot to check out! But not only that they have beers on tap that you can enjoy as well and hang out there! There is a place that serves food inside. It's a waffle shop in which you can get sweet or savory waffles. That place has it's own Yelp entry and I will write a review for that in the near future. But definitely check out Finholm's and read up on it's history... it's pretty interesting!

I was shopping at this Safeway in Gig Harbor while my husband was standing with some strangers at…read morethe Pokemon vending machine, hoping that maybe the machine would be getting stocked since there was a line. The manager came up to him and asked him why they were standing at the machine quietly and he said that the port orchard location just had a restock and they seemed to think that the Safeway was next. The manager scott then called him a stalker and said you know what stalking is right. Apparently the manager allows their employees to clock out and scalp the Pokemon machine when it gets filled and then clock back in & also be completely unprofessional and rude to customers. Very unprofessional & I will not be shopping there ever again. Corporate will also be notified.

When she checked out, her bill was $180 and she realized when she got home that they had overcharged her $44 for the roast. When she went back to the store and spoke with Kevin and Susie, Kevin said he was only giving her $18 back because she'd already got $30 off of her groceries. The problem with that was the discount on the groceries was for buying other sale items not the roast! As Kevin cheated her out of the sale price for the roast, she told him she would never shop at the store again and he said "That's fine!" Kevin should know that good customer service is huge and he behaved very badly. My friend has told everyone she knows about this horrible experience at this Safeway. The small act of cheating by Kevin has cost Safeway a lot of business. I will certainly never shop there!

I was lucky enough to have Teanna work with me. She's also worked with my wife and she is superb. She knows her stuff and you can absolutely trust her suggestions and advice. She's a reason why we only buy our prescription eyeglasses at Costco. She helped me pick out two sets of frames and even did a 'tune-up' on the pair of glasses I'm wearing until the new ones arrive. Teanna reminded me that we can always bring our glasses in for tune-ups like replacing worn nose pads and readjusting the frames fit on the ears and nose. This is the type of added value Costco provides for all prescription eyeglass purchases.

For our household I am not exactly sure getting utilizing it to it's fullest entirely works because…read moreour household is fairly small. But not just that we are fairly new to Costco and we kind of need to adjust accordingly to this kind of bulk shopping and zero in on things we need bulk of and not focus on this kind of a store like Fred Meyer is. Although I acknowledge larger families could probably use it as an equivalent. We were told the Gig Harbor location was less chaotic and while it was slightly less so it's still a very fast paced place. Nothing too much different than the one in our own town however they seemed to get people through the check outs at amazing speed. I'd definitely would return should a Costco need arise and we were in the Gig Harbor area. If you aren't used to the area however I'd recommend coming in and out with GPS as it can be very confusing with what feels like a large amount of stores clustered off of one road along with it's roundabouts.

Their sourdough pizza is seriously amazing--one of the best I've ever had. The crust is perfectly crispy on the outside while staying soft and chewy on the inside. I've tried the honey mustard chicken pizza, and the chicken was cooked perfectly. The combination of honey mustard, arugula, and chicken worked so well together. I've also had the bacon chicken ranch, which was just as delicious. I always look forward to trying their weekly specials! The views are incredible too. You can sit by the water and watch people kayaking and fishing, and when the tide is low, I've even brought my dog and walked along the beach. I also love the huge variety of drinks they offer, from coffee and draft beer to canned beverages. On top of that, they do a great job supporting other local businesses and carry a lot of locally made goods. They have a small parking lot so sometimes it fills up, but you can also park across the street. Such a great spot for good food, drinks, views, and a relaxed atmosphere! I really enjoy coming here time and time again.

For years, I've been captivated by the mystique surrounding shopping at Trader Joe's. Intrigued by…read morethe tales of their unique snacks and meals, I finally decided to visit on this day. Trader Joe's offers an impressive array of snacks and treats at incredibly affordable prices. Although it's smaller than I anticipated for a grocery store, its unique charm makes up for the size. The friendly cashiers work from small, personable stations, adding to the welcoming atmosphere. While I didn't particularly indulge in the sweets or meat-based products, I found some of the nuts (walnuts, pecans) and other items to be pleasantly affordable. They were significantly cheaper than similar items I've purchased elsewhere. Trader Joe's has immense potential. They offer a delightful fusion of foods and snacks that are truly one-of-a-kind. It's an excellent place to grab a quick bite for parties or meal prep. I'm definitely planning to return and explore more of what Trader Joe's has to offer. It's definitely worth checking out, especially this University Place-Tacoma location. This is the first time I've visited this particular location, but I'll be back. I'm grateful to people who bring their own bags, which is what I always do when I'm shopping. I keep at least two in the car, so please be mindful of that.
