You'd be surprised how much you'll save @ met market compared to other grocery chains/stores in the city without compromising quality produce and imported goods from europe and asia. Their deli section is to die for, and I love their selection of cheeses, fresh cut meats/seafood, and wine. My pupper, Gustav, is a huge fan of their dog ice cream. You'll rarely find these in other groceries stores. read more

Rotten experience from Metropolitan Market delivery through Amazon. 3 separate times, my almond cake order has been cancelled. I am unsure which Metropolitan Market fulfills Amazon Metropolitan Market orders. However, THREE times only this part of my order has been cancelled, when it is the part I wanted most. This is a bakery item that should not keep being advertised when it keeps becoming "unavailable" with "nothing" Amazon can do about their third-party vendor fulfillment after an order is placed midweek, because Amazon says it knows nothing of third-party availability. My request (not met) was that they should send me the almond cake when it becomes available, and stop suggesting that I frustrate myself ordering it repeatedly when I never get it. Amazon said they couldn't send the cake to fulfill my order if and when it becomes available. Amazon does not allow me to contact Metropolitan Market directly about this big issue, as they keep advertising this cake as available and then failing to fulfill my order. read more

Hot deli food - not bad, expensive! great variety - sandwiches, sushi and other hot food. I ordered the Asian noodles and a little box of the Korean fried chicken and the total was $14 for both - and it wasn't a lot of food . Service - prompt. read more

The biggest hit for this location is that self checkout is two stalls. To compare to other locations, Queen Anne has six or seven self checkout stalls, and Mercer has at least four. I don't know if they don't get enough foot traffic to this location or if it's to prevent loss, but it definitely made me not want to come back. While their selection of Rind chips (what I was there to clean them out of) was well stocked, the store was incredibly chilly and fairly empty. Their parking area was a small lot attached to the back door and the entire store seemed designed oddly. All in all, there are nicer, larger locations to go to, and this Magnolia Metropolitan Market is not the vibe. read more

Met market used to be my go to for a nice lunch or a muffin and coffee on a walk. Not anymore. How do you guys live with yourselves charging astronomical prices?! I just paid $9.92 for OVER mayonaised soggy yet hard as a rock salty af tuna sandwich. Are you catching this tuna fresh, daily?! The arugula was wilted and brownish. The bread was dry in some places, soggy in some places, and hard in some places. The mix itself had so much mayo in it. It's not evenly distributed. Just a slop ball in the middle of the bread. So lazy! They used to be cut in half, not anymore, someone that works there probably said they don't get paid enough to cut the sandwiches. I'm so over this city and it's pretentious people. Do yourself a favor and make your own sandwich, for half the cost and better tasting. read more

Just watched a pear that had been kicked around by the entrance on floor, sat there for about 15 minutes while I shopped, get picked up by an employee and added back to the produce section. read more

Nice selection of food, snacks, drinks, etc. I especially like the deli and bakery, there is lots of options and different ones from other stores. read more

I love a good seasonal mushroom pie and this one comes with truffle cream. Need I say more? read more

The self checkout is closed and they don't manage their lines well when it's busy. Kind of disappointing.

We live close and come here often. Mainly coffee and for produce. The staffing is skeleton crew in the deli and over thanksgiving the hot food section was closed. The checkers are generally not very happy and the person who lingers at the self checkout but doesn't help makes people avoid it. The prices here are high and compared to Sand Point or QA it doesn't even feel like the same brand of store. Updating to say there is a man who has worked here forever in the deli who is clearly very ill and should not be working with food. He's been getting more unwell as the year has gone on. People don't want to be helped by him. Come on Met Market. I feel for this guy. read more

This is the charcuterie Mecca of Seattle. Cheeses, dried and smoked slice meats and olives from across the globe. Good luck finding a better prosciutto selection anywhere. Fresh made sushi, coffee and sandwiches. Good selection of alcohol. read more

Don't mind them overpricing things, I do mind the poor selection of items they lack and lack of quality smoothies and orange juices they have elsewhere. They don't have Columbia gorge drinks/smoothies and they lack the Aloha bars like they do at their other locations. They also don't carry quality laundry detergent either like Zum Indigo Wild. read more

This review is specifically for the produce: I come to Metro Market because I live nearby and it's presented as a "nice upscale market" but in reality I am constantly disappointed by their produce. EVERY SINGLE TIME I get produce there (I really mean every single time) I come home and produce is old and spoiled the next day. For a place that is that expensive and brands itself as a upscale market, they really don't put much effort into having fresh produce. So frustrating and disappointing. read more

Not your friendly neighborhood grocery store anymore. I ordered a too good too go bag and asked my mom to pick up for me. There's a screenshot of the order page and complete order ID. But the person refused to give my mom the bag, claiming that they can't go off of a screenshot. If you're not familiar with too good too go, the order has to be picked up within a certain window. And once the window passes, they won't provide a refund. I'm really curious what person will create a convincing screenshot with an active order id to steal some leftovers. The pickup instruction from 2g2g reads :"Please see the team at the bakery counter to present your order receipt and collect your Surprise Bag!" There's no mention of having to have the app. So why was metropolitan market so difficult? read more

My favorite grocery store to shop at in Seattle and one of the reasons I look forward to visiting! I love their famous cookie, that is already worth a stop and they make a great gift sure to please. Beautiful hot and cold food section to easily have a quick dinner at home. Service is exceptional and they carry many local brands not found elsewhere, highly recommended! read more

Whatever you do don't go here. You will be sucked into it's delicious trap filled with primb rib, brisket, hot breakfast, a fresh salad bar, sushi, gelato, and so many more scrumptious findings. These cookies especially! HOLY COW! They are always warm and gooey and ready to fill the hole in your heart that you didn't know you had. I discovered this place 5 days ago. And I have been here every day since. Someone send help! You will find me hovering near the bakery! It's definitely not the cheapest place to get groceries or a hot lunch but it's definitely delicious! And will make you want more as soon as you leave! read more

Metropolitan Market - Chocolate chip cookie - Grocery Near Me - Seattle, Washington

I've been to this grocery store many times, since it's by far the closest grocery store to my house. Customer service here is consistently well above average. The cheese, olive, chocolate, packaged snacks, and produce sections are all excellent. This grocery store makes fresh mozzarella balls daily! They're amazing!! Selection is pretty sparse for pre-packaged meals. Deli is sub-par, especially compared to the delis at some of the other Met Market locations. Bakery is not great, not awful - they have some really good gluten-free options, but the options overall are somewhat limited. Smaller than the other Met Markets. The floral section is quite good. This store keeps up with holidays and stocks fun holiday selections for the 4th of July, Halloween (amazing variety of pumpkins available this year!), etc. I don't feel like I can go to this store for my weekly big grocery shopping trip, due to the somewhat limited selection overall and the fact that several basic items are way overpriced. However, it's a great place to pick up snacks, flowers, gluten-free muffins, kombuchas, cheese, chocolate, olives, packaged snacks such as chips or crackers, and/or fresh produce in a pinch. I like that the lines for the cash registers are almost always very short any time of day or night. There is no self-check-out option, but the cashiers are all great so if there was one I personally probably wouldn't use it anyway. Tips: 1. The Karine & Jeff soup line is delicious, filling, decently priced for the quality, and far less processed than most pre-prepared soups. 2. Met Market's own box of chocolates, which they sometimes stock and sometimes do not stock, rivals that of some of the best chocolatiers in Seattle. Definitely worth a try, and, if they happen to not be stocking it, a trip to the chocolate aisle never disappoints. 3. For a more lavish, bigger, better-stocked Met Market, try a different Met Market location. If you've been to other Met Market locations already, this location may be a bit of a disappointment. If you haven't yet been to any other Met Market locations, don't judge the other locations based on this location - this location is kind of the baby brother of the chain. read more

We were recommended to go here for their cakes, but that cookie was absolutely amazing!!! The cake was great too, but the cookie on the warming plate was one of the best I've ever had. Totally worth the trip out. read more

I liked previously the market, the prices are above the average, but it's local and convenient, and the place had very good customer service. But recently customer service got much worse. My wife had bad experience communicating to the stuff few weeks ago, but we thought might be they had a bad day. But today I've got rude comments from the employee on where I put my bikes, while bike rack was blocked by a tent read more

Several thoughts. The prices here are outrageous now. There is at least one person at the bakery who has zero customer service skills and we avoid when working. There needs to be more basic sandwich items and easier deli wait times. The deli always gets the amounts of what your order wrong. Love the flowers and some of the checkers. Adding that the self check lane appears to only be open when one particular employee is there and she stands ON TOP of you. There can be 100 people waiting in the other lanes and 2 self checks closed. Everyone comments about this but it remains. read more

Quality fresh array of foods you would expect to find and fare far beyond your expectations. Come prepared to be enticed and inspired. You're about to spice up your culinary spirit. Take time to touch base with the top notch wine selection. Service matches Met Market's dedication to an exceptional grocery shopping experience. And don't forget The Cookie, "get serious about chocolate." read more

We came here to get the cookies that were supposedly really good and I was let down a bit. They might not have been fresh because it was later in the day. They were just pretty average, pretty stale, and a little pricy. Seems like this place is on the pricer side with everything they offer there so be aware... and I don't recommend getting the cookies if they aren't fresh our of the oven. read more

Metropolitan Market - the front of the building - Grocery Near Me - Seattle, Washington

See all

I recently visited Seattle from Austin Texas. Our grocery store bar is pretty high (Whole Foods,Central Market,HEB!). The Met -West Seattle was impressive. I went three days in a row and customer service was very friendly. I loved their deli and pre-packaged foods. Decent wine selection and excellent floral. Quite amazing how they get some much in a small space. Well done! read more

A wonderful "little" market right here in Magnolia! By little I mean not a chain supermarket; but little doesn't describe their selection! This gem of a market can cater to all your taste delights. From their homemade soup counter, to olive bar, to meat & cheese selection -- this place has it all. Best is the wide selection of local brands and hard-to-find labels and products. Most especially a great selection of gluten free products (even breads!!). Love the fresh produce section too. So bright and colorful, it's just asking to be picked! Be aware of prices though...it's Seattle, so you know you're going to pay for it; but somethings are marked up too high that get here. That said, still a place to frequent!! read more

Tried of their employees parking I. Front of my house Today no parking because of their shoppers I get it But be nice to park in front of my home Did they ever try arriving early and park on 35th Instead of 3 read more

If you want to spend $$$$ on your groceries, come here. The benefits are - beautiful produce, florist level bouquets, a plethora of high end lunch options, and knowledgeable, helpful staff who get paid a fair wage, and get health insurance benefits (or so I have heard). I have ordered a cake from the bakery which was absolutely delicious. They did lettering on it free of charge. Their cookie is To Die For. If you have one cookie for the rest of your life, let this be it. They serve tasty coffee and Italian sodas at their cafe, and prices on their drinks are comparable to other cafes. Their grocery prices are high. This is not a one stop shop for all your grocery needs, but you should be able to get some of the essentials. read more

Excellent customer service - great produce. We love the Metro Market in Magnolia (5 min from where we live).

It's hard to beat Met Market for what it does. Again, it's a matter of expectations. Will the prices be higher than Fred Meyer? Absolutely. Will there be an absurd variety of cheeses available? Sure. Will there be a nice compliment of pre-prepared foods and wines? Yes. As far as Met Markets go, this is at the smaller end. The parking lot is small and can be crowded and there may not be the entire variety of items that you want to get. Still, there aren't a lot of options in this part of Magnolia (think Albertsons) and if you're looking for specialty items, this is a place to go. Plus, they have a number of special events. Sometimes even featuring Fabio. read more

Metropolitan Market - A special event in Magnolia.... - Grocery Near Me - Seattle, Washington

I really like this neighborhood market, and yes spendy... but my experience w many of the staff makes it worth it. PS, if you like poke... there's is really good! I think they have a few varieties, mainly albacore and ahi. One thing, and not sure if this is due to the recent weather, but while they're open until 11, some of the departments seem to start putting their food away around 8pm, which I found confusing. read more

Still horrible customer service like I subject to yesterday. I was told to not take it personally. Will only go to the QA location from now on. read more

So again I'm just updating- we've been a few more times and frankly their customer service has not changed. It's a hit or miss but I will say that usually there is one particular girl at the cafe who is kind and tries. I am not oblivious to people having bad days but here it seems like most people do. Anyway their coffee is so good and that cookie everyone talks about it's a hit or miss I've received very fresh ones and stale ones. The fresh one was great! Might try to make it myself! read more

Well, well, well. You're reading this review as your wondering whether Metropolitan Market would be a good place to get some groceries or prepared food? The answer is YES! You will not be disappointed, if you decide to go to Metropolitan to buy just about anything. One caveat, excellence does not come cheap. Expect greatness and expect to pay for it. The store itself, is very meticulously kept up. As you enter the store, you'll get a sense of this as you can see all the fruits, vegetables, cheeses, meats and even the kitchen in the back all laid out to perfection. The staff always looks dressed for success with aprons and all. The fruits and vegetables are always great, and there's a pretty good selection of organics. The specialty cheese and meat counter is great and the people there are super helpful, should you ever need any. They've recently relocated the baguettes and other breads back by the bakery goods, which I didn't really like. The prepared food/kitchen is awesome. I sometimes go there to buy bacon in the morning, because they just cook it better than I ever could. I have not idea how they do it. The butcher is awesome. They're really friendly and also really helpful, there's great stuff back there, no matter what you need. The premade hamburgers of all different bleu cheese, mushroom or other makings. Selection and quality of fresh fish, smoked fish is great. read more

Would never come here again for lunch, not that nice employee's. And not that much of a hot lunch. So far this is the third metropolitan market I've walked out of for lunch. Not one employee asked me if i needed help. I passed at least 15 employee's. Not a friendly place, went to Albertson's down the road, every employee there was happy and nice, and paid half the price for almost the same items. Not worth coming here, probably next time it'll just be a cookie. read more

Good experience here. Breakfast here is good. Bought a Hydroflask here and had issues with it and returned it no problem even without receipt. Just overall great customer care and service. We need more companies like Metropolitan Market. Been to their West Seattle location (3rd favorite), their main Queen Anne location, their Issaquah location (my favorite), Kirkland (2nd favorite), their Eastlake location and Magnolia. Not much bad to say about these guys and gals. Pretty on point. Sometimes they don't have the stuff you're looking for so you gotta know which stores to alternate and shop for. read more

Smaller than other locations I've been to, however they've got two parking lots on either side of the store. Great selection of meats, fruits, vegetables and specialty items. Compared to other grocery stores, their prices are relatively the same but it all depends on what you're looking for. I mainly come here for their grab and go meals. Their hot bar buffet has a posted schedule of the type of cuisine they'll be featuring during the week. As for dessert I can never decide on to get because of the selection variety. Everything looks so good! read more

Overpriced. Employees are on the rude side. But then again it's magnolia home of the over privileged and unaware. I ate from the hot bar twice and each time I had violent diarrhea. read more

This place is a great local grocery store with tons of offerings from local purveyors. Came here for the poke. They have a wonderful selection of various poke and you can try a little of this and that. They also have this really good cookie, but it's so decadent it's like something you gotta share and I also felt it was expensive for a cookie. Their alcohol/beer selection is quite good. Lots of local choices for beer. And a fair amount of whisky options. I like how they have a lot of local ice cream too. read more

This is the closest MM to my house. It has everything I would expect to find from quality produce to a large variety of yogurt to high end soft drinks. The actual store feels smaller than other locations which means that inventory is compressed. There are parking lots on either side of the store but they get full at peak times. As with other MMs, they have a hot case of food, as well as cold bars and refrigerated foods that you can grab and go. I spend most of my time here on this half of the store. A perfect day for me is to pick up a container of poke and head to Discovery Park to have a quiet lunch overlooking the water. Pro tip: If you're not a fan of cold rice (like me), ask the hot deli for a serving of hot jasmine rice. They always have great seasonal fruit samples available for tasting before you buy and a lovely display of flowers are you enter the store. One of my other favorite things is to browse the chocolate selection for a few new bits. Good quality MM, close to my home, and has everything I'd expect. read more

The store merchandising, product selection & culture is now a mini sterile grocery store. The boutique market is gone now replaced with a replication of every grocery store in West Seattle. All the local & specialty high quality is being replaced with Metropolitan Brand = Safeway style coupon clipper mimic products. I rarely go there anymore, even the checks stands lost their glimmer of cool Puget Sound made jellies, chocolates & gourmet delights. Same ...same. ..same at the deli - boring & over priced dittos. read more

The food here is great, I have no complaints about the food whatsoever, but this review is for the customer service I've received by a particular male cashier. I stop by Metro occasionally with some of my coworkers for lunch as we work in the Magnolia neighborhood. When I go to check out, I usually receive great customer service from the lady with curly short hair (wish I knew her name). She is friendly, helpful and always offers to tape the lid of my soup so it doesn't spill. However, a couple of times, when she is not available, I have checked out with the guy who is usually on the right side. As a customer, when I say hi, thank you and receive no proper 'thank you' or 'have a great day', no eye contact, nothing; this is super irritating to me. Instead of flirting with my friend, please resort back to your basic customer service skills by actually wanting to help your customers with a genuine smile. read more
