Metropolitan Market

Nice market in the area. Open until 11pm and very convenient location. They have a great deli.

Best market in the northwest. Only way to explain it is the Cadillac or Mercedes benz of grocery store. Fruit quality no body comes close.

The best grocery store I have ever been to in my entire life (as of this time). I am a Seattle transplant from Texas. In Texas, we have big chain supermarkets like HEB or Central Market (a bougier version of HEB), and this store clearly surpasses all of them. The customer service, the extensive selection of goods, and the quality of goods...wow! In the produce section, you literally have employees that are shucking vegetables to ensure none of the vegetables/fruits are spoiled or browned. Everything is super fresh here! All the products are neatly lined on the shelves like someone has grocery-OCD. They literally have EVERYTHING; it's not limited like Whole Foods. They have products at every single price points. They have coffee brewing tools, a huge variety of spices, etc. They even have a kitchen tools section selling really expensive Japanese knives, Peugeot pepper grinders, and Le Creusets. The prices aren't all bad either; I think Whole Foods is more expensive. Everything is clean here as well! All they need is offer a delivery service and I will give my first-born to them. Also, the cookie. THE COOKIE. You can't stop by this place without getting this. Visit this place for all your grocery needs. Best ever. Edit - just had to come back on here and thank Met Market because when I first showed up to Seattle, I wasn't impressed by QFC or Whole Foods. The produce section was extremely limited. Then I discovered Uwajimaya, which was fantastic!!!!! But it's located a bit aways and kind of inconvenient to take the 40 min bus ride to ID. When I discovered Met Market, I felt like I could finally call Seattle home. There was this Japanese mayo that I was struggling to find in Whole Foods / QFC that I had to go all the way to Uwajimaya for...it's actually there in Met Market. Along with other necessities!!! Seriously. The best. I can't emphasize this enough.

Expensive, but the quality is better than anything else nearby. The most frustrating thing is getting help at the liquor cabinet. You have to hunt around and find someone to open it. I’ve left several times and purchased liquor elsewhere due to being unable to find anyone to open the case. They should really install some sort of alert mechanism so customers don’t spend ten minutes wandering the area waiting for help. Posting this ten minutes into standing next to the spirit case.

The quality of the items sold here is top notch. Always a delight to visit the place. They have underground parking as well.
