Nice little supermarket in the middle of downtown Langley. I have only been in the food section of Star Store; there's also a gift, home goods and clothing section I haven't been to yet. I recommend the get anything LOCAL. It's FRESH and PRICING IS RIGHTStaf. Local seafood and meat are fresh. Today I got delicious cod cakes. I saw fresh wild Coho salmon and salmon cakes that look yummy. There's also local eggs and dairy. Take a look at the deli section as well. Once I saw different kinds of quiches. I got the one with ham and it was delicious. The produce is good and well maintained. Staff is usually friendly. The store looks clean in general. Pricing for other things is higher than mainland which is normal...anyhow expect island prices in all stores and restaurants on Whidbey. read more

Very interesting mercantile shop downtown- general store, meets grocery, meets gift shop. You could find a little of everything. Some things felt overpriced, but other things were fair. Downtown is touristy and artsy, sometimes that equals higher pricetags. We found some gifts for family and I snagged a cold beverage too. Fun to check out the store in its entirety- it is much bigger than I originally thought and don't miss going upstairs! read more

This is a disgrace to our beautiful island! Posting NO ICE sign in front of their doors is absolutely unacceptable. Amid global political problems, some people just want to shop, but the owners are so inconsiderate, trying to impose their decisions on us. I used to shop there often, but I won't anymore. read more

Great little store packed with cute items and fair prices. Staff was friendly and helpful.

So many great gifts from which to choose: home goods, funny books and cards, and unique clothing and accessories for all genders and ages. The grocery store is also cute and carries some difficult-to-find brands... but I really just go for the gifts. read more

This store is a mix of market and clothing. They have a GREAT variety. Small kitchen to buy food and small produce. Clothing on the other side and more stuff on the other side. Pretty cool stuff inside. I forgot to take photos inside booo read more

This is probably the swankiest grocery store on the island. They've got everything you need to cook up a feast... or take out from the deli counter. (We love their tuna salad, and the cauliflower/broccoli crustless quiche thing) The produce always looks fresh, well stocked butcher/seafood section, and aisles of whatever you could possibly desire for your pantry. Cold drinks and snacks to appease everyones fancy (and diet). read more

Best grocery store on Whidbey. Besides a great selection of the usual stuff, they've got an excellent deli counter with great options for picnics. Favorites include the fried chicken, tuna salad, cauliflower-broccoli crustless quiche, and the Asian noodle salad. Beware of the mildly grouchy staff. read more

Want fried chicken? Pristine seafood? Kimchee? Miso? Artisanal boule? Charcuterie? Rare whiskey? House made meals? They got it all. The wine selection is just awesome! I want to live there.... read more

Oh my gosh I can't believe all the positive reviews! Yeah the store is great and clean etc. etc. But as we are travelers coming in from a long drive, we are called to check the hours of the deli so we could buy some food before we went to our rental home. We were assured it would be open till 5 o'clock. We got there about 315 and they were just closing up. I was told by the person closing that they had no one to work at the deli so they were closing at four as it was Sunday. However this was on Monday!I indicated it was not even 330 and they said "well too bad we don't have anybody to work." They were somebody behind the deli counter wrapping up all the food and someone else cleaning the deli section. So these persons can work in the store but not sell me a couple of pieces of chicken? They were so rude and nasty I started to cry. I know every business on the island is really shorthanded. I wouldn't expect them to re-open the place once it was closed. But they were clearly employees behind the counter and the food was still sitting in the fridge not wrapped up. Not a great way to start vacation and we were already nervous about during Covid. It's our first trip away from home in over two years and I thought perhaps a small town would be a great place to start. Not at this grocery store. read more

We went to this cute store on our day trip to langley. It has a great clothing store attached, as well as everything to can need during your stay. They were nice enough to allow me to use the restroom, me being the forgetful person I am, I set my wallet on the rack while.washing my hands. Then left and went about my day. I didn't realize I didn't have it, until I was trying to purchase or ferry ticket home (myself, my two kids and my grandmother). I reached out on Facebook and the owner Gene was nice enough to come open the store after it closed. Not only did he find my wallet, everything was still in it. I'm so very grateful to this store and the owner, such good people. I'll come back every time I'm in town. read more

Star Store is quite the destination grocery store and mercantile while visiting Langley. The kiddo and I wandered through - definitely has a little bit of this and that, nice selection, and historical background. It was good to see a lot of locally sourced items on the shelves. BTW - Useless Bay Coffee Company beans were the same price here as the café a block over. That's nice to see no additional markup. read more

Fun store to check out while in Langley and also their smaller store on the Bayview corner. This store has been in Langley forever, however I long for the old Star Store. Much more yuppy and upscale from what I remember growing up coming to this store in the summers I spent on the Island as a kid. Clothes, food, organic produce, deli and bakery are all available here. Pricing on clothes items are mid to high. Fun knick-knacks and cooking items and a nice selection of wines and beers. Definately worth stopping by and looking. Employees are nice and upbeat. read more

What a lovely surprise to stumble upon this beautifully well-stocked market on a trip to Whidby to visit family. The produce is pristine, the seafood fresh and local, the dairy and cheese section is abundant. I even found a full selection of gluten free flours in the baking aisle. What a gem! read more

Great place. Great stuff. Love the people here and the selection of items. Definitely worth visiting.

What a great general store, or as they describe it, "store and mercantile". After our disappointing meal at the Braeburn Restaurant (see my review) we popped in here to pick up a few essentials, you know, eggs, pancake mix, wine. From the outside, at least entering through the back parking lot, the Star Store seems a bit utilitarian, but that ordinary shell is hiding a gem of a store, one which is surprisingly upscale. Sure the Star Store has all the essentials one would need, but it also has a stellar wine selection, a fresh deli area, apparel, sundries, housewares, knickknacks and more. (Hmm, is "knickknacks and more" a redundant phrase?) The wine department in particular caught our attention. It easily rivals the selection at our local QFC back in the big city and featured many labels that I was unfamiliar with (admittedly not so hard to accomplish). I have a feeling that over our four day adventure on Whidbey well be back to peruse that selection a few times. Everybody was friendly and welcoming despite the obvious "Tourist" label stamped across all of our foreheads. Very impressive all the way around. read more

The star store had so much fun stuff!! Oh em gee...I LOVE IT!! Cute clothes, SUPER cute shoes, purses, etc. Gag gifts, fun goofy items. I could've spent all day in that store. Kitchen gadgets, books, jewelry, seriously fun fun fun. The girls working were FANTASTIC...super friendly, talkative, full of personality. I ended up with a hilarious book about bad words....which everyone that knows me knows it's perfect!! The store has a second side that is a grocery store..tons of stuff. If you're in Langley go to this store!! I really really want to go back!! read more

The best store EVER! The buyer is brilliant and the store is colorful and filled with wonderful items. The staff is incredibly helpful and fun...like I said, Best store EVER! read more

My 8-year-old daughter thinks Star Store is the best store ever! The toy selection is really fun. As a health conscious traveler with food allergies, I really love SS. The selection is wonderful and the prices are reasonable considering the quality and the fact that it's on an island. I also end up purchasing a fun clothing item each year that I visit. read more

Great convenient place to pick up some gourmet items like the happy hippie coffee or a t-shirt for your friend who couldn't make it. Prices are a little on the high side, but it is a fun store with many novelties read more

Usually love the Star Store. Went yesterday after the CDC/State said it's ok for vaccinated to not wear a mask. When I walked in a young clerk told me I needed a mask. I said I thought they weren't needed any longer. She said in a loud, snotty tone: "We're a private business!" I said I guess I'll shop elsewhere. She responded in an equally snotty tone: "Go for it!" I did. Payless in Freeland is following State/CDC guidelines (so is Ace Hardware) by only requiring a mask for unvaccinated.... It will be a long time before I visit the Star Store again... read more

I'm deducting a star for not having Penn Cove mussels. Hello? Aren't they from the island? Otherwise, I think the selection here WAS great. I was particularly impressed by the wine section. There were some awesome bottles in there! read more

I love love love Langley. I like to think that if I became a full time, soceity-rejecting artist or writer type I might live somewhere like this little town. A town where some serious (if low key) shopping can happen. That small town but fun shopping vibe is happening in the Star store. Super friendly help, hip clothes, nice shoes and bags, wine, funny gifty stuff (like those faux mexican candles like the goddess of cat ladies), upscale foods, and cute undies and kids' stuff. They know how to decorate for the holidays, too. Star store, if I lived in Langley I'd be worshipping your stupid hotness all the time. read more

It's true, I've been consistently impressed every time I've had to run in here to buy something. They've got a pretty sizable stock for being a small, local store - and the prices aren't bad either. The usual suspects are here, as well as some good deli finds and fresh produce - all at decent prices. The perfect place to hit up if you're looking for some picnic food, a snack or even just a cold drink. Their wine & beer selection is impressive as well. read more

I could not live on the island without the Star Store - in fact it is one of the reasons we moved here. It's obviously run by foodies. This small store is packed with all the essentials. It's the best year round source for organic and conventional fruits and vegetables. There's always a small, but pleasant selection of fish, poultry and meat. The isles are well stocked with dry goods from around the world for all your cooking needs. The deli counter isn't bad (the sandwiches at their Bayview location are a bit better). And the wine selection is great. There's also kitchen goods, clothes and more next door! read more

Great selection of produce, which much is local and organic. They also have a solid wine & beer selection. Their customer service is also very friendly, fast and they often ask if you need help carrying your groceries out to your car...who offers that service anymore? :) read more

I LOVE coming here to get supplies when we are staying in Langley. I could spend hours in this store. Beautiful gift items and a wonderful selection of specialty food items. It's a hometown market and specialty store rolled onto one. read more

We spent a week in Langley and this store was fantastic. Laura S described it well. All of the essentials, but definitely not of the convenience store variety. Much more high end with quality fruits, vegetables and all the basics. It isn't a cheap place to shop, but (a) there aren't many other options close by and (b) we ate really well that week! read more

This store is lackluster. It's very cluttered and has a 99 Cent Store feel minus the high price tags. Yes, there is a portion of the store that has clothes and shoes along with other accessories, however the layout of the store really gives a 'thrift' vibe that personally isn't the ambience I'm looking for when going grocery shopping. That said, you can get the basics and then some here, and their selection of gourmet chocolates was impressive. read more

The Star Store is fabulous. Stylish quality women's clothing, kitchen sundries, unique gifts. I hear it's up for sale; I hope it'll retain its charm. read more

If you're looking for some gourmet chocolate, or organic asparagus, or locally-made olive bread, or Port Townsend Cirrus cheese, or sparkling rose, Star Store is the place for you. (And we were looking for those things, because those were our Star Store purchases!) They have a great selection of specialty, fancyish food, at relatively reasonable prices. (Disclaimer: my boyfriend and I got engaged just before consuming all of the Star Store purchases listed above, so I could be a bit biased about this place. But even without a proposal, who wouldn't love toasted olive bread spread with Port Townsend cheese, with a glass of sparkling rose?!) read more

The Star Store is the bomb. There's a grocery store and a clothing/gift store, in one building. The deli makes delicious pre-prepared food, like dohlmas and tuna salad and pastas. Oh, there is also a really nice wine store in the building. The staff is very knowledgeable and there's a good selection of wine. The store itself has a really nice feel and atmosphere. There is loads of good food and cute clothing. read more

Best described as a modern general store, this is a mandatory stop for us when we visit Langley. It's a great place to get picnic supplies on the way to one of the parks on the island. More likely, we usually find something we never new we needed and it follows us home. Everything from food to fibers can be found. read more

Highs: novelty gums, toy store, beer and wine selection, island merchandise. Lows: Too much stuff crammed into too little space read more

Emma in the deli area was soo helpful and awesome! Exactly what customer service should be!!! This girl should be doing more for the store than just standing behind the deli counter!! Will be back during my vacation to see her more! read more

Whatever you want, the Star Store has. Excellent selection of basics including lots of locally produced goods, and a really good clothing/gift store to boot. One stop to get your locally sourced eggs, those cute martini glasses for cousin Darla's birthday, and a bottle of Sparkle Donkey tequila? SOLD! Take the time to rest your dogs in the Starbox out back. read more

Since moving here it's been a joy to go to the Star Store. They always seem to have anything I need (and want) and the associates are awesome and extremely helpful. Thank you Kaua and Andy for being so helpful and friendly! read more

Perhaps not the thriftiest place to buy groceries, the wine selection is second to none on South Whidbey -- a great selection of French and Italian wines in addition to the regular NW varieties. My wife loves coming here to pick up a fun gift for birthdays/baby-showers/etc. read more

This is the cutest store. The staff was so friendly and helpful. I just bought some cardigans and a scarf. I wanted to buy the whole store! I didn't get to look around as much as I wanted because I didn't have time but I will definitely be coming back next time we visit the area. I saw cute boots and kitchen items! I'm excited to come back! read more

Great assortment of housewares, clothing, toys and groceries! The buyer has great taste. Something for everyone and every budget.
