I started my New Roots "subscription" back up a few months ago and Oh My God I am so glad I did!…read more The customer service is still absolutely amazing.* The fruits and veggies are still tasty and interesting. The delivery to my doorstep is still super-fantastic. The new beautiful things? They now have fruit-only and veggie-only bins! And more importantly... YOU CAN NOW MAKE SUBSTITUTIONS ON THE SITE AND BUY EXTRA ITEMS IF YOU WANT TO! I believe you're limited to 5 substitutions per bin, but that's still awesome! Sometimes I haven't finished the apples yet or know I won't want a certain item the following week, and I love that I can edit my order right on the website (instead of having to email or call). I do like going to shops and markets and picking out my own things, but experience has shown me that I just don't make enough time for that to actually have produce available in my kitchen every day/week. This way I get to discover new items, only have to decide on any substitutions I might want, and it shows up on my doorstep every Tuesday so I always have some (healthy!) food available at home without needing to go shopping. I LOVE IT! *Case of amazing customer service: The owner Carolyn recently called me because she noticed that I had selected the fruit bin, but kept substituting vegetables in. She wanted to suggest switching to the personal mixed bin because then I'd be able to still get fruit and a bunch of other items. I'm so happy I did that because with the fruit bin I kept going crazy and ordering like 10-15 bananas each time. Now I limit myself to 2-4 bananas and get a wider variety of veggies/fruit instead!

the habanero sauce is crazy good & the seller was really nice! worth stopping by for sureread more

My fav is the Idaho sturgeon and they even have fresh blinis to take home, crème fraiche, and spoons!

We tried them plain, and with blinis and creme fraiche. We liked them both ways. Liked it all so much, we got a second glass of champagne and an ounce of osetra so we could extend our time and little adventure. Ended up bringing home a couple ounces of the salmon caviar to have with cream cheese and bagels over the weekend. You gotta live little, right? Only wish they had some lower salt potato chips to enjoy with that tasting :-)

~~ {{ Arcade No. 2 slot at Pike Place Market }} ~~…read more Love this stand! Christa(?) and Holly (when there) are wonderful ladies. Christa is kind, cool and friendly whenever I have questions or want anything in particular. The main love I have for them is that everything is organic AND plenty of variety to select from! Yams, carrots, garlic? They gots 'em, yo. Their booth size is very decent covering a variety of roots, greens, herbs and jams. Lately, I've been loading up on potatoes, sweet potatoes and yams for steaming and baking. They're located south in the arcade - just a short walk north from the flying fish crowd. Thumbs up & much love!

The first week of our CSA at Growing Washington I cooked up some golden beets that arrived in our…read morebox. After one bite, my husband (who mostly ate spinach has his primary veggie), announced, "I never thought I liked beets, but these taste sooo good!!!" Growing Washington changed the way we cook and eat!!! We've been members of this CSA for three years and have offered our front porch as a hosting site. They provide 100% LOCAL and ORGANIC fruits, veggies, and even butter, flour, fresh flowers, herbs, and eggs. All the products are fresh and unique. The BEST thing about this CSA is that they provide a LIST of all the FRESH stuff on the farm that week, and you CHOOSE what works best for your taste, cooking style, and needs. You can be adventurous one week, and conservative next week. It's all so flavorful and delicious. I've been particularly impressed with the service. We've been going with the CSA for three years and anytime there has been questionable quality they always replace it, no questions asked. Two weeks in a row we got some icky misuna, and the third week they sent us FLOWERS. I always feel like I end up on top. Just another reason to love summer in Seattle.

My first visit was back in August 2010 when I bought a large bag of cocoa, definitely preYelp for…read moreme. I've driven past this spot a gazillion times and just read this specialty business has been around since 1997! Props for longevity! I stopped in yesterday (1/22/26) for three reasons: I had a Too Good To Go confectionary pickup, wanted to see their Kasama Chocolate selection, and look around after my 15-16 year hiatus. Parking along Elliott in the Interbay area is dicey due to bus lanes, parking restrictions and traffic flow. Luckily, there are a few parking slots on the south side of their building, adjacent to Holy Mountain Brewing. Walked in and was blown away at the retail layout, so much to see! The counter person (owner?) was busy with another customer. Their convo was very warm and interactive. So I slowly meandered through the store and really liked what I saw. I should have come here for useful holiday gifts. I was later checked upon inquiring whether I needed any help locating any particular item(s). Chocolates, spices, olive oils, sauces, condiments, pasta, and other specialty items that a culinarian, gourmand, or treasure seeker would fully enjoy. The retail displays are so enticing and provides a lot of inspiration. Plus ChefShop is a lot closer to me than heading to PFI on S Dearborn. I ended up having to restrain myself and selected ras el hanout and berbere spice jars and two bars of Kasama Chocolate for purchase. The latter I learned about from Instagram, much closer than having to trek to Granville Island Public Market in Vancouver, BC. Plus my TGTG confectionary bag, everything found made for a successful retail visit. Terrific retail layout. Welcoming and informative customer service. With the loss of Chocolopolis further down Elliott, ChefShop is another great resource for quality chocolate varieties. Definitely, follow them via IG (@chefshopseattle) for up to date info & classes. Great to stock your pantry, find unique gifts for others, and treats for yourself. Just don't have such a long delay between visits like me. Highly recommended!

I'm actually pretty disappointed. They have a fun selection and the service was friendly BUT they…read moreneed to do a WAY better job of checking the expiration dates on their products. I had picked up some canned fish that had expired several months prior. However, I did not see the expiration date on the 2.2 pounds of pinhead oats that I purchased until I went to use them just now and they have a best buy date of 2/26 (I purchased them in May). I did not buy that many products so I'm wondering how many other items were past date.

You pay for your cup, then you self-serve your tastes. There were 11 or 12 cider flavors to sample, such as peach, strawberry, apple caramel, lavender, blackberry, raspberry, and more. I ended up mixing two flavors together for my cup. So fun!

It is a very cool…read morespecialty shop, and I love how the labels have fun little facts about the cheese or suggestions about how to use the cheese. It's very thoughtful and makes the shop approachable, as opposed to having a stuffy atmosphere. The cheesemonger is quite knowledgeable and very helpful. I knew what cheese I wanted to buy, but he was helping out other customers and having a great time. I'll definitely come back if I need a high end charcuterie board. Do note that the cheeses can be pretty expensive, but I chalk it up to the location (rent is expensive!) and also the sourcing/rarity of the cheeses. I wonder if the cheeses ever get discounted if they're at the end of their shelf life...I would totally snatch them up!

Best Fresh Pasta…read more This review is based on the products-- we've been going to the farmer's market and always find ourselves visiting the La Pasta stand every time. The ladies at the stand are always very friendly and helpful in their suggestions (such as which type of sauce to pair with the pasta, or the flavor of the pasta or ravioli filling). Thus far, we've gotten the egg bucatini, the red pepper bucatini, the seasonal gnocchi, and the dreamy garlic spread. Generally, I'm not a big fan of fresh pasta, because many times, I feel it gets too mushy (or perhaps it is the quality of the pasta). La Pasta fresh pasta has never been mushy; it has that imperative al dente bite-- a clear sign of good quality pasta. The gnocchi is flavorful and pairs well with the dreamy garlic spread. Looking forward to trying the pumpkin ravioli later in the week. The price is comparable to the fresh pasta you would find at a specialty store, like Whole Foods, Metropolitan Market, or PCC Markets-- however, La Pasta's quality is far superior. La Pasta products are worth the price. We look forward to trying any new products, as well as upcoming seasonals. We also hope that they may have a brick and mortar store in the future on the Eastside for the farmer's market offseason.
