To begin with, when I walked in, no one acknowledged me for quite some time. Then when someone did…read moresee me, they yelled at other workers in front of me for not attending to me. After ordering my food, it was quite some time before anyone showed up at the register so that I could pay for my meal. I ordered a bowl with smoked salmon and it was unlike any smoked salmon I have ever seen. It was as if it had been ground into tiny pieces. It looked like canned cat food. Extremely sus. All this for $20 and had to toss the whole thing. So disappointing.

Wenatchee Natural Foods is an awesome place for food, drinks and groceries. We spotted Wenatchee…read moreNatural Foods, which was across our hotel, and it ended being one of our favorite spot to get sustenance. Located on the main street of Wenatchee, Wenatchee Natural Foods offers organic, sustainable items, with lots of locally made products. It's not the largest grocer, but the selection was fantastic. We were able to get some grocery items here during our weekend trip and also tried the items that they prepare at the cafe area towards the back of the store. At the cafe area, they have a large menu of different drinks, with smoothies that are worth checking out. I loved the chocolate smoothie, which they make with almond butter and vanilla whey, so it's naturally sweetened. I also ordered a bowl, which you can make based on the different ingredients they offer, like a base of rice or beans, with different proteins and veggies. I customized my bowl with rice, curry chickpeas, avocado and steak and seasonal veggies and it served as two meals, which was delicious. For those wanting to dine in, they have a seating area on the side of the store, with outdoor seating where it's dog-friendly. It's a win for Wenatchee to have a store like Wenatchee Natural Foods, offering a great selection of healthy, wholesome items in a community-centric setting. I'd come back here again when in the area.

YOU FEEL UP TO ICE CREAM STOP HERE! I went in hoping for more of a local fruit stand (more…read moreselections). They had some fruit selections available. I picked up some apples and pears. THe prices seemed comparable to Seattle area grocery stores or higher. I figured here it would be better pricing (less). I grabbed some teryaki sauce to use later at home and a post card, THere was so many people in line for ice cream. We decided a couple ice cream cones one scoop and man it was a huge scoop. THe ice cream for the win. The younger gentleman who rang me up was so kind a patient. The girl who scooped the first cone thought I didn't pay felt a little strange to me it was like she didn't believe her co worker he rang us up but moving on. We got our ice cream and headed down to a different fruit stand.

We stopped by looking for local products and apples...of course. Apple prices a little high, but…read morethey did appear fresh from this years crop. Sadly, many items in the shop were not local. Dried pears from New Jersey that were just days from the sell by date, items made in Everett, and Woodinville. Nothing special and not impressed.

Visconti runs a little bit of a mini-empire in the greater Leavenworth-Wenatchee area (and…read morebeyond?). In addition to running the best Italian restaurant in the county, they also operate Fire and Ice (a pizza & charcuterie gastropub, and an ice cream & gelato parlor, respectively) at the Pybus Public Market in Wenatchee, they also have set up shop with a delicatessen in the ground level of their flagship restaurant in Leavenworth, near the western end of Front Street, where they carve and sling some of the most delectable meats, cheeses, and things in jars that you can find anywhere in Leavenworth! Having dined at Fire a few nights previous, my wife and I fell in love with the Hungarian sausage served there, and knew that we had to stop in and purchasing some, before embarking on our long drive home. Between that, some jerky for the kids, pepperoni sticks of various temperaments, mustards, pickled goods and the like, we spent a pretty penny making sure that our Christmas charcuterie board(s), when paired with cheeses previously purchased from the Cheesemonger's Shop just down the street, would be legendary. And they were! Few people, in the history of mankind, have enjoyed such a fabulous feast of cheese and crackers...and meat and pickled things, of course! No matter if you're suffering from the Christmas blues, seasonal depression due to our saturated and sunless winter weather, or just a plain ol' empty stomach seeking carnivorous and/or curdled culinary comfort, Visconti's has the "Cured" for what ails you. There are few maladies or conditions that can't be solved by a shaving of meat, a wedge of cheese, a dab of mustard, and a slice of preserved, pickled perfection. Prove me wrong!

Dan's Market is a road warriors must stop for the thirst driven or hungry when traveling HWY 2 !…read more FRANK visited Dan's to scope out the solid local beers to fill my ice chest and discovered an aery of amazing treats... Upon walking in on your right will be the flesh section. No they're not selling sex but it's an area devoted to meat, you know dead animals who sacrificed themselves for my enjoyment. Nice selection of the flesh including prepackaged sausages from CURRED. For those wondering what CURRED is well it's a local ( Leavenworth ) artisan , handcrafted dry cured meats shop. They offer more than 30 varieties of award winning salami, sausages, and specialty cured meats crafted using traditional methods and high quality ingredients. I grabbed a package of BEEF FRANKS BTW for consumption later... The beer section is epic for a local store but stocked with several local brands you can't purchase at Walmart or Safeway so load up a few 6 packs.... Shocking the produce section was amazing with some really choice vegetables & fruit with vibrant colors and fresh smells... Now in a hidden area is a deli of all things. Dan's staff of elf's are making sandwich's and deep fried items.. The cheap deep fried burritos looked amazing and FRANK made a mental note for next time to grab one... Granted it's a grocery store so most of the items you find anywhere. Yet Dan's has a certain style I appreciate and this is why I'm drawn to shopping here... Anyways that's enough, you must make a stop in order to grasp DAN'S FOOD MARKET experience for yourself... You won't regret it!

We were looking for some food to bring along for our Colchuck Lake hike and stumbled across Dan's…read moreFood Market, located just a bit past the main downtown stretch of Leavenworth. What a hidden gem!! Their $6.99 sandwich deal is an awesome value, and I'd recommend it to anyone looking for a hearty, affordable hike lunch. You can choose from one of their set sandwiches (like the Reuben, Silly Phillies, or Wild Turkey) or build your own from a generous selection of breads, cheeses, condiments, meats, and veggies. And it comes with a complimentary bag of chips! - Reuben - a warm, pressed classic. Generous corned beef, melted Swiss, tangy sauerkraut, and Thousand Island dressing on grilled bread. Super satisfying and perfect trail fuel - Turkey Cranberry - layers of turkey with cranberry spread, cheese slices, and fresh fixings. Sweet, savory, and delicious The deli counter is right inside on your left when you walk in. Everyone behind the counter was incredibly friendly, genuinely chatting with us about our hike plans and offering samples from the bakery. Our sandwiches were made fresh and hot in minutes! The overall vibe is that of a local neighborhood grocery with staff who truly care. We loved it so much, we came back for round two. Don't miss this spot if you're prepping for a hike -- Dan's does a trail lunch done right!

There's a lot of weird stuff in here, that doesn't quite jibe with the focus of the shop, which is…read morethe deadly array of hot sauces, dips, jellies, jams, mustards, pickles and honeys, around which all other offerings orbit. Things like pocket knives, crystals and stones, shot glasses, rings and other rudimentary souvenirs, but these are all incidental, as the only reason you will remember this place, and the reason you will return, is for the sauces. I'm not sure when it all started, but there is a rapidly growing sub-culture of hot sauce enthusiasts and aficionados, myself a member among them, who delight in the sweet agony caused by the caustic caress of Capsaicin. Whoever runs this shop understands this fiery fetish, and has stocked their shelves with some of the most tangy, torrid, tongue-torching, taste bud annihilating tinctures known to man. Sauces with tasteful names such as "Satan's Blood", "Butt Pucker" and "Colon Cleaner". The kind of sauces that cause PTSD in mortal men and women and, after sampling, cause them to immediate glare at you with desperate, pleading, wincing eyes filled with a hatred and agony as fiery intense as the sauce itself. Yeah, we're a f**ed up bunch. One man's pain is another man's pleasure. It's all A Matter of Taste! And in the interest of full disclosure, yeah, I did buy sauces here. Two, in fact: a bottle of Mad Dog 357, 25th Anniversary edition (1,000,000+ Scoville units), and a bottle of Salvation Sauce, complete with attached mini-Bible, to exorcise the spicy, delicious demons that are unquestionably trapped inside!

Clam chowder was also amazing, as was the pasta salad. The roasted nuts are a nice addition to ANY menu item you order, and you can sample the varieties beforehand.

Great customer service and a super cute atmosphere! We loved all the bee and butterfly decor.
