They have the shopping necessitates, although my visit was focused - alcohol. I ran in here for a bottle of hard alcohol, which is a category they have a limited selection of. I did find some decent local beers. The individual working the front register was friendly. read more

Pike Grocery - Good beer selection - terrible hard alcohol selection. - Grocery Near Me - Seattle, Washington

I only came here because we were walking back to our hotel from our fancy dinner. I came here for water and they had it. We got something else. We were greeted warmly upon entry and I did feel comfortable browsing. I asked about the water and the man behind the counter gave me good directions to find it. The pricing on it was pretty good. They have plenty of wine here, and if in the mood and the area, I could see myself picking up a bottle. The boxed goods were quite pricey to me - crackers and such. As for ambiance, this place was quite cramped. I think that I say I felt comfortable because sometimes there's a level of uncleanliness that comes with cramped spaces. But this place seemed cleaner to me, so I had an elevated level of comfort. I doubt that I'll be walking by, but I have to say, with their later hours, if I need a gallon of water or some wine, I may make the trek up to them because they had the basics at some decent prices. read more

I bought 1/2 gallon of 2% milk for $5.99 on 1/13/2025. After opening it this morning (1/14/2025), I discovered it was sour even though the best sell by date was 1/27/25. Upon returning to the store, the owner said, 'NO REFUND" even though it was HIS fault the milk was sour. I used the last of my EBT food stamps to purchase that milk. I walked to the store with the aid of my walker. I am a 73-year-old disabled widow who lives on my Social Security retirement and a whopping $23 in EBT food stamps a month. I won't be able to buy any more milk or food until 1/31/25. This store is a rip off. The poor clerk there was freezing because although the weather is wickedly cold, they had no heat inside. Seems as cold as it was, the milk should have still been fresh, but when lumps pour out when you pour it into your cereal & your nose tells you it's sour, it's sour. I have to wonder about any other fresh or frozen food they carry if they can't even keep milk fresh. read more

If you are staying in the area Pike Grocery is super convenient. I was surprised with how much they carry. We got a couple of sandwiches and they where great! The where really big! Price wise was a bit high but honestly it's what I would expect to pay right down town. read more

Only grocery store that was open late when we came (11pm). There were a lot of people trying to buy last minutes items. They have a variety of items. It's a mix between a liquor store and a small grocery store. The wine selection for a small place was pretty good. Same goes for the beers and non alcoholic liquids. They don't have the gallon waters though but liter waters they have. There's also a sandwich shop, not sure what time they open but it was close when we came later in the night. Small mom and pop place but has the necessities. read more

The deli sandwiches advertised, they no longer sale. The sandwich menu is now covered up by wax paper. This was an issue for me because I took public transportation in a city that I was not familiar to visit their "deli". Highly suggest that you update the information on goods/services you provide. read more

Do not shop here, scammed my debit card for $3154.74. I contacted my bank to file a fraud claim and then 2as able to determine that the fraudulent charge was this business based on the charge before and after visiting this store and the fact I bought 1 gallon of water which should have been $4.60. No charge for this amount was on my bank statement. I called pike grocery and the person on the phone denied any involvement and then told me to wait a minimum while he checked on something. He set the phone down and after 3 minutes hung up on me. I tried calling back several times and got no answer. When calling from a friend's phone from a different area code he answered, but once I told him who I was an brought up the suspicious charge he again hung up and will not answer from that number now. If this is not evidence of someone with something to hide, I don't know what is. Do not shop here the credit debit machine has a skimmer on it and these guys will rip you off. If I would have caught the charge before leaving the airport I would have gone down there in person and confronted the coward face to face. read more

I wouldn't say this store was bad or good. It was alright. There's a lot of options for a very small place. There is a lot of random snacks and items packed into a very small store. They have a good size beer and wine selection for how small it is. They are a bit pricey. The normal price for a beatbox drink I usually come across is 4$ and here it was 7.99$. It's to be expected since it's a small store in the convention area in downtown Seattle. I think you're mostly paying for convenience if you're staying at one of the hotels nearby like the Hyatt regency. It's a very short walk from that hotel and from the Seattle convention summit. The man at the counter was also very nice. read more

Inconsistent pricing of products related to local tax ordinances, depends who is cashier as to how much the same item cost. Only grocer in area that places corresponding taxes on items as well. Have had issues with surprises in the taxes as well, told one price, hand over cash, they charge me a higher price. QFC is further away but at least there the pricing is up front and honest and consistent (not to mention a hell of a lot cheaper per item). read more

No longer does sandwiches. Menu board is covered over and the cashier says they have a new owner so no more sandwiches.

Love this place. It's my neighborhood Mom 'n Pop. They carry an assortment of chips, cereal, healthy foods, cheese, deli meat, and basic necessary goods. Honestly, it's remarkable how much they can fit into this one small space. It's owned by a lovely Korean couple. The woman, Jane, is a sweetheart. She always cheerfully takes your order and treats you with kindness. Her husband, Mike, is a bit more reserved and stoic, but he opens up more as you visit more. Anyways, the sandwiches are usually made by Jane, and they are delicious and filling. You place an order and in about 10 min or less, it's ready to go. I got the Seattle Slew sandwich today, and it was legit so yummy and huge. It's got ham, salami, mortadella, provolone, pepperoncini, red onion, lettuce, tomato, olive oil, red wine vinegar, and mayo. If you're feeling hungry, any one of their sandwiches will fill you up for hours. Usually half of one is enough for me though. As for the people who've said negative things about their customer service, they clearly have an overinflated "the customer is always right" mentality. I've been going here for the past year, and I've received nothing but good service. I think that some customers unrealistically expect service people to kiss their asses, rather than simply render a service. Reservedness and stoicism is not a marker of bad service... So please check your entitlement at the door. read more

Awesome little grocery near the Convention Center. I was staying at a hotel nearby and popped in here and it had more than I could have ever imagined! Fresh-made sandwiches, ice cream, medicine, beer and wine, even things like baking supplies and specialty health foods. It was impressive how much was crammed into every shelf. It was truly an amazing little grocery! Prices are a little high, but nothing too bad. The location is awesome and the staff were friendly too! read more

I'm so happy that Pike Grocery is open!!!! (It's not called Pike Place Grocery, dunno who came up with that when they listed this business.) Comfortably nested on the border between Capitol Hill and downtown, I'm in the midst of everything and yet have had slim pickin's as far as grocery stores near my place (QFC is "near" if you're not drunk/exhausted/lazy, and Clay's is a poor excuse for a grocery). So, I was super excited when this place started being built, because I'd finally be able to make quick club soda/wine/ketchup runs. Little did I know, you can get all that and a bag of chips! So to speak. This ain't your grandma's convenience store - they have: - Boarshead deli meat (yessss.... Blazin' Buffalo Chicken and Black Forest Ham!) - Odwalla - organic milk!! When's the last time you saw that in a convenience store?? Try never. - pasta - organic canned tomatoes - fresh produce that looked pretty good (no City Market wilted greens here!) - Flagship cheese from Beecher's - lots of Amy's frozen meals - boozes, including I think 4 varieties of hard cider Yummmm thank you for not sucking and in fact being surprisingly delicious and nutritious!! read more

A great go-to neighborhood bodega. They have beer and wine, ice cream, chips, candy, pasta, pasta sauce, baking supplies, soft drinks...the works. They also have a pretty killer deli to boot. Every sandwich comes with a pickle and a treat. The deli hours are different than store hours so double check those before you go. The staff is super great too. Love this place. read more

High employee turnover - no one there, not even the owner Mike ever thanks me for shopping there and buying their overpriced stuff. Deli closed, which was the only good thing to try and set them apart, their sandwiches were good though. Won't be going there anymore after being treated rudely late at night. The owner is ungrateful and rude at times. read more

When I came into pike grocery I entered a very cramped grocery style convenience store which based on how cramped it was was not extremely welcoming (but they can't really help that) I was at a conference and we were looking for a quick place to eat. The sandwiches were decent. I really like the one with Cajun turkey. My partner got the one with buffalo chicken which was underwhelming flavor wise. My other complaint was that the tomatoes were extremely wet and runny. If I end up going back again i would get the Cajun turkey sandwich (without tomato) read more

While this is no major grocery store, it's perfect for a quick liquor run, a quick "I forgot one ingredient," or a quick late night snack. Everything was insanely cheaper than the hotel I was staying at was charging, and the workers were very personable. read more

Used to be a nice place. Former owner was fabulous. I have Parkinson's and he always asked me how I was, and helped me with paying. Then he sold it to a jerk who has the public relations skills of a convict. Ignores you. Grunts when you ask him a question. Throws your change at you. Count it out? Your problem. I live right next door. Used to go there every day. Enjoyed seeing and talking to the owner. If you're a hotel guest, sure you'll find it ok. But I have no intention of supporting any store that makes it clear they don't care about my business.. Rather take the bus up to QFC. I think he bought it about four months ago, so I'd be careful about older reviews. read more

Bottom Line - Walk the extra 5 minutes up Pike Street to QFC. I went to this new business on the corner of Pike and Boren on 30 March 2013, and they wanted to charge 50 cents to use my debit card for anything under $10. I know that debit cards are exempt from allowable surcharges (credit cards were recently allowed to have fees tacked on). You can submit merchant violations for debit card surcharge violations here: http://www.mastercard.us/support/merchant-violations.html read more

Glad this is on my block. They have a good selection of everyday items and a mini deli. While I won't use this for weekly shopping - it comes in handy when I'm in need of something urgently. Excellent craft beer selection too. The guy working there today was friendly, even had a treat for my pooch. read more

Best bodega in the neighborhood! This place has been a common place I frequent for the past year and a half and I'll tell you why: convenient, great customer service, a wide selection of anything you might need, and dog friendly. Not just dog friendly, dog excited! My pup has always received a healthy treat, and I've witnessed many others treated in the same fashion. The beer and wine selection is on point and priced reasonably. That late night hummus craving? Maybe a sandwich? They got you! As far as convenient goes, my home is a half block away from another place that I don't care to give business to because myself and many of my clients have been been treated poorly (yelled at for buying a single item with a $20). Bottom line, this is a business you want to support and if Greg is your cashier you're going to get a great smile and a person who goes above and beyond! But, the crew here is deserving of a tip jar. read more

Apart from having any and all grocery/ household needs, they have *incredible* sandwiches! I got the #9 - It Take 2. Highly recommend!

Pretty decent local spot. $0.25 to use a debit card? I thought the purpose of accepting debit was a lower charge to the merchant. Also, maybe expand your deli hours? Closing the deli before 5pm??? Seems like you're missing out on some business. But yes, reasonable prices, good wine selection, and friendly ppl working here. read more

For a corner store that offers fresh sandwiches, amazing beer and fresh food (+ cheeses) this is as good as it gets! I work nearby and eat a sandwich there weekly. The owners are wonderful people and make a point of welcoming you (and making you laugh). A good tip for those in a hurry go online and review the menu then call it in. Your sandwich will be ready within 10 minutes! Eat. Here. Now. read more

Great beer and wine selection. The Boars Head sandwiches were a great deal! The couple working the deli and register were efficient.

Having been spoiled by fine food, wine, and artisan beers, I find myself difficult to please, especially when trying new venues. In moving to Seattle, I noticed that there was a corner store being renovated right down the hill from where I lived, to be called the "Pike Grocery." Another convenience store with overpriced generic staples, I figured. Since it has opened, I have been a customer almost every single day, and my experience never ceases to amaze me. I'll be honest, what first seduced me into their doors was the outlandishly enormous beer selection, with specialties, imports, and craft brews being their, well, specialty. Each day I went in, I discovered something new; not only in their selection, but also in what services they offer. A deli. A produce section. Fresh cold-cuts. Imported quality and regional wines at affordable prices. Coffees (they even carry LavAzza!), teas, pasta, cereal... Now here's where things get even better. They offer fresh-brewed coffee from local roasters, and wow, does it make a difference. Every cup is bursting with full aromas and flavors that will convert even the most prudish of the lot into caffeine addicts. The owner is also an artist when it comes to any espresso-based drink, adding flare and decor to any cappuccino and balancing just the right amount of bitterness into his espresso shots. And then come the sandwiches. When I eat out for sandwiches, I generally find only one thing I'll like on the menu and then go back solely for that one item. The Pike Grocery's menu is very broad, which is impressive for such a local small operation that seems to be more of a grocery store. All ingredients are fresh, and the cuts are sliced right in front of you (they use Boar's Head, by the way!). Every sandwich is to die for, and so far each one I've had is my favorite. This is saying a lot, as I said in the beginning, I am a very picky eater...but the flavor, the quality, and the sustenance of each sandwich is worth every penny and leaves me wanting more, despite a full stomach. If you haven't discovered Pike Grocery yet, you're truly missing out on a new gem in local-owned business. The owner and all of the staff are very friendly, welcoming, and all around wonderful people, and the quality of everything in the store is impeccable, as well as clean. Do pay them a visit, buy some coffee and a sandwich, and you can't say I didn't tell you so. read more

Used to love this place. Sandwiches are still great, but miss the old cashier, Craig. Way more relatable than the current batch.

Never would have guessed this hole in the wall would make the best turkey sandwich EVER. I was visiting Seattle and needed a quick bite before my conference started. I walked into Pike Grocery hoping they might have some premade sandwiches I could grab and go. No premade but a tiny little deli with Boar's Head. A local walked in as I was asking about pre-packaged stuff and suggested "The Bird" turkey sandwich. She said it was like Thanksgiving in a Sandwich. She was right. It was The BEST turkey sandwich I've ever had. Turkey, bacon, a little cranberry sauce, on toasted wheat- amazing! If you are staying at the Homewood Suites next door -don't pass up the chance to try a sandwich from this little bodega. read more

I'm halfway thru a stay at the Homewood Suites for four months. What a welcome relief this Market is! Clay's market is the only other option close to the hotel and after my last experience there (read Yelp review!) I boycotted it. And Pikes Place Grocery just has so much very nicely packed in a small space. They even have a breakfast sandwich from their deli counter! Not to mention a lot of other great sandwich choices. The grocery selection is large enough that you can actually make a decent meal from the available items. Best of all, prices are reasonable for a convenience market. read more

I have lived a block away from this location for 10 years and have been dreaming of a grocery store on the site. Finally, the dream has come true! This is a wonderful market. Small, but complete. You can find virtually everything you need, from wine and beer to good quality frozen foods, Boars Head cold cuts to buy by the pound or have made into one of their delicious sandwich choices, detergent, produce, bagels, espresso drinks, etc. The staff is friendly. The store is clean. It is in no way what we city dwellers have had to put up with in the way of markets. I truly hope the neighborhood discovers it. If we want to have a viable market here, we need to support it. read more
