I absolutely Love this little corner store. We grabbed a pint of delicious ice cream in the evening and came back in the morning for coffee. Fair prices and friendly folks. Definitely a "highly recommend". read more

This is a great market in town with street parking. They have groceries, premade food, gifts, some clothing, a coffee shop, and a bookstore upstairs. A little bit of everything. Some premade items I tried. The sesame noodles were good. I got this near store closing and the noodles were not soggy but had a great texture. The tuna fish was good. It had a good crunch from the celery and onion. Also tried a locally made ice cream - mint chocolate chip. I highly recommend though I'm sad that I cannot remember the name. The mint is subtle with a great crunch from the chocolate. read more

Overpriced and the cashier can't even say hi. I can find most of the items in a less fancy grocery store.

This market is so charming. This is our second visit there and it's only gotten better. They have a beautiful grocery section with unique frozen foods, cool wines and perhaps the best ice cream sandwich I've ever had: soft lemon cookies and lavender ice cream. They have some beautiful small brand products (especially the blankets pictured) and a coffee bar. The upstairs has a few small shops that were closed when we were there and a stunning alpine balcony where you can eat your ice cream sandwich. read more

A great place for high quality, and high-end, food and gifts. Went to this place a couple times while visiting Port Townsend, and had everything we needed and more. Some of just about everything, and the people are so nice! They even have a little sushi counter in the back and hot food/miso soup as well. Great wine selection and so many meats, cheeses and about 100 chocolate bars, lol. Looks like a little coffee and cafe to go too. It's a really cute store and just a fun place to even browse if not going with a list in mind. As they have local gifts, I think mentioned that, lol. read more

My wife and I stop here whenever we're in PT! Good beer selection and packaged food for hitting the trails. There's also an amazing bookstore on the second floor of the building called Winter Texts. read more

I stepped into Aldrich and was warmly greeted by the scent of breakfast and coffee. I did a lap around before making any decisions. I got a breakfast sausage sandwich which was pre-prepared and on a warming table towards the back. I also tried an interesting chocolate from Singapore that is "Salted Egg Cereal." It was delightful with many layers of texture and flavor. I ended with a soy latte and friendly conversation with the barista! As I was exiting I noticed they had an upstairs seating area with beautiful art by Diane Wheatley. Deep and vibrant works of floral art were the perfect company for my morning breakfast. read more

Lots of good stuff here with not unreasonable prices. Nice neighborhood, too. We walked up the hill from downtown - very convenient if you're staying in a waterfront hotel. read more

Selection and service. Great vibe and coffee shop. Location is very walkable from most of town

This is the cutest spot a little off the beaten path in Port Townsend! I was looking for coffee and the folks at the bakery down the street directed me here. Once inside, I was pleasantly surprised to find not only a coffee setup, but lots of goodies like wine, snacks, and trinkets like jewelry. The space is homey and welcoming, with a spacious mezzanine upstairs where you can enjoy your coffee, a snack, and a relaxing respite. The groceries and sundry items were fun to peruse and I found loads of things that caught my eye. This charming little spot is more than the sum of its parts. read more

I enjoyed perusing inside this gourmet coop type of store with snacks and pre-made sandwiches. They have a coffee counter. $8.99 for pastrami. $6 for bacon mac and cheese. There is an upstairs area for seating and bathrooms. read more

Aldrich Market - Fruits & Veggies Near Me - Port Townsend, Washington

It's an interesting niche they're going for - there's a lot of snack and lunch options, along with a solid little cafe and a pricey sushi shop. Along with the souvenirs up front it's clear that it's not really trying to compete with the co-op (actually local produce etc) or Safeway (cheaper wider range of items), which is probably a smart choice. There is a decent selection of "gourmet" style sauces and other cooking ingredients you can't get elsewhere, and an interesting selection of frozen items. Prices on many things are really inflated, it does really feel like a store for tourists in uptown or wealthy retirees, but it's working for them. The space upstairs with tables is a bit bare bones, but well used by the community with reading groups, chess clubs, and TTRPG / DND groups using the space. read more

So grateful to Aldrich! Their hours are perfect, open 7 days a week, with yummy food & cheerful staff that I've come to know. Always something new; for example I just discovered their chocolate chip, pecan cookies. So good! And the best thing is that I don't have to stand in line at Safeway. Rarely is there a line at Aldrich. Yep, so grateful read more

Came by here about a month ago. Fun little space. Cool to see it still going given its history. A bit on the pricy side. Wasn't really impressed by any of their grab'n'go food but I appreciate them trying - seeing a sushi section of a grocery store not filled with dry, unpleasant AFC stuff was cool. The sauerkraut they used on their Reuben was a little overpowering, kinda sour, making the overall taste of the sandwich not that great. Definitely filling though. As for the sushi, the roll I got had way more of what seemed to be a generic sweet and sour sauce on it than I realized, which was pretty disappointing. The filling still had a nice crispy consistency but it was hard to taste under all the sweet and sour + kewpie. Still better than most grocery store sushi I've had. Mini Banana cream pie was a little too simple, the crust wasn't great and the banana flavor tasted a little artificial. Probably wouldn't get any of those things again, especially not desserts if I came again, but if I'm in the neighborhood it'd probably be fun to come back and try something else. read more

Aldrich Market - avocado & snapper roll - Fruits & Veggies Near Me - Port Townsend, Washington

Very poor selection of water. Basically 2 liters or nothing. While they do some nice local items, they are outrageous in price. I would've taken pictures but didn't have my phone on me. Very dismissive and rude helpers too. I Asked if they had any other bottled water sizes and was asked why? A tall blond guy and short dark haired man. They both felt it was funny that I wanted smaller bottled water. They were distracted with each other. I've been coming to Aldriches since the early 70's. First bad experience. It's enough to keep me away for good. read more

Eclectic little grocery store with lots of obscure items you didn't realize you needed! This would totally be the place I would shop in often if I lived in PT. Solid wine selection as well as gluten free items and sushi takeaway for impromptu picnics. Also an array of fun gift items and local jewelry to bring home for loved ones. read more

Great place to pick up a unique gift or get a specialty item, but a bit too pricey for a full grocery store run. The staff is lovely, espresso bar is top notch, and they've also got some good to-go sushi! read more

Great produce, coffee, sushi, sandwiches, chocolate, wines, spirits and the best staff!!

I went on a Sunday morning because everything else was closed and was pleasantly surprised. The store portion had lots of unique finds and I found some Christmas presents. The service was friendly but professional. The breakfast sandwich was yummy. The chocolate raspberry muffin was amazing. read more

This store is one of the best things in Port Townsend. The coffee is good and inexpensive, the seedy bread is fresh and the same price as Safeway, they have good ice cream and popsicles, and one day I found candy expresso beans in the candy section that were sooo good. For Christmas I noticed they had high quality knit cardigan sweaters fairly priced. Everyone who works here is so courteous and friendly. I love going in here. They have doggie biscuits outside for the pups! I was fascinated to find out how long this store has been in Port Townsend. The original store burned down and this one was built to carry on. I see why they have succeeded! read more

Aldrich's is my neighborhood go-to for last-minute ingredients, morning coffee runs, and desserts/snacks. I really adore this place. They have a lot of hard-to-find specialty and gourmet items, organic produce, fun and kitschy gifts, good espresso, friendly and funny staff, and a great place to sit upstairs to get work done. It's everything I want in a neighborhood cafe/grocer. The prices are definitely high, but they do have a discount rack and discount produce. Local items are priced on par with what you'd find at the PT Co-op. read more

I absolutely love this store. They have a lot to offer for such a small place! Coffee bar, sushi and great gifts! I would definitely recommend stopping by! read more

This place usually disappoints. Not a place you can run to and grab what you need because they don't have much in the way of basics and if they do have it, usually overpriced. They have a lot of gourmet items and if you don't mind paying a lot, it is good for that. I use to go to Aldriches to get in a Christmas mood, but now it just feels like some posh boutique store like in Martha's Vineyard or Carmel. Miss sitting in the window eating my lunch or drinking coffee watching the neighborhood. read more

The woman working on the night we went to grab some drinks and snacks for our girls trip was so nice. I love all their specialty gifts and food. I am not sure if this is really an ideal spot for "all the time" grocery shopping, but for me it would be perfect for visiting from out of town or for a special dinner/splurge. The merchandise and food are higher end and/or local brands. Love the layout of the store and how everything is displayed and easy to find. read more

Fun place in Port Townsend to get groceries, sushi, coffee, liquor, veggies/fruit, dessert and everything else! And Holly makes it even better- fun, engaging & beautiful! What more could you ask for? read more

We had visited the Aldrich Market a few years ago and I remember my sandwich being very good, so when we returned to Port Townsend this is the first place I wanted to visit, we were hungry when we departed from the ferry. Aldrich Market isn't right in the middle of the busy section of Port Townsend, we had to walk a few blocks, which was nice, because Port Townsend is a delight to walk around in, the residential neighborhoods are so charming. I ordered the Pesto Chicken Sandwich and I have to say that this was the best sandwich I have had in a long long time. They made if fresh for me, and I didn't want the onions. We sat outside on the nice bench they have by the front door, is was nice to get away from the very busy section of town. I will return to Aldrich's for sure the next time I visit Port Townsend, this is a far better place to have lunch than any of the deli's we have tried in the busy section of town. The staff is also very friendly. read more

Food is always delicious, there's something for everyone, sweet, treats, produce, savory, lunch, coffee, grocery items and plentiful picnic supplies. The higher price is to be expected and worth it for the most part. However, I am not too keen on spending my time and money in a place that has over the top rude, snarky and snotty employees. Not super fun to fork over extra cash to be treated badly by the employees. Sometimes the cashiers don't even say a word when checking me out, which is sort of creepy. Can't help but feel like they're starring at you the whole time too. read more

Ignore all of the reviews below, which are ancient history. Aldrich's reopened under new management on October 7, 2020, after being closed six months, and the new market was worth the wait. The family that now operates it are wonderful people who have made Aldrich's a fun and happy experience again. The fresh-baked pastries are spectacular, as is the fresh sushi at the sushi bar in the back. There are wonderful salads, sandwiches and soups. Everything is takeout now, because of Covid, but there are tables and chairs upstairs in the mezzanine and on the outside deck accessed from the mezzanine and there are three picnic tables in the park across the street. read more

Food and products are great although pricey. I moved just down the street recently and thought I'd be there frequently, but in the 4 or 5 times I've been, staff has been rather cold - the last downright rude. Not what I'd expect for Port Townsend or a small market.. in fact that's the only place in town I've run into someone like that. I only asked a question, and very politely, and was given a dirty look and told in a sarcastic tone, "I have no idea." Unfortunately, will be avoiding it and heading to the co-op for groceries after that experience. read more

We have used Aldrich's as a meeting place for our team several times. We have been loyal customers. However, after our most recent experience, we feel shafted and unwelcome. Moreover, the owner made an excuse that patrons have complained about our presence, however, in investigating further, we discovered the was not the case and the owner was just displeased with our movement of a table to accomodate our team meeting. As patrons of Aldrich's, we feel that the owner was particluarly rude and unwelcoming, as we had intended to eat and enjoy lunch from their mediocre and elevated food and coffee menu. This was a distasteful experience and we are not sure we will be returning in the future, unless we are reciporated with welcome about utilzing the cafe space upstairs without reservation. Moreover, there should be disclosure posted that you are not permitted to sit and "loiter" in their cafe space for longer than a certain amount of time, unless you are planning to purchase something (in which we do EVERY TIME). We will be sure to inform others, who want to use the space for various lunch meetings, to look elsewhere. We will be sure to boycott Aldrich's until this is rectified and we, as community members, feel welcome in a space that is meant for meetings. read more

Aldrich's has been around for decades. The Pre-Fire Aldrich's wasn't so fancy, and carried a much different array of products. Today, it's hip and a little too pricey, but it carries delectable cheeses, fresh artisan breads, unique dipping sauces, hard-to-find microbrews, and more. (If you spend any time in PT at all, you'll see that it seems to fit.) My mom worked here in her late teens, so to her, it's not as charming as it once was. However, if you're looking for a unique treat on your way to the park, stop in and treat yourself. read more

Oh my god! This place is amazing. The guy who runs the coffee place is so cute. Oh! Then there's Jimmy who makes the tempura. He was awesome. Oh! And then there's Tom! Hola Tom! End scene! read more

Not trying to sell merchandise - - the guy who does that left early. Got there an hour before closing. Very frustrating.

Aldrichs or "all-the-bitches", our lovingly tongue in cheek nickname. The perfect market for picking up a quick lunch salad, that last minute appetizer or bottle of wine. The sushi bar in the back is run by Japanese and makes a surprisingly good roll for such a small bar tucked away in the back of a market. The zen roll has a deliciously breaded shiitake mushroom in it and the Spicey Miso Hamachi Roll even comes with a very traditional Shiso leaf stuffed in it. Worth every penny. read more

Lovely selection, but the customer service leaves much to be desired. I felt that I was being sized up as a potential clepto or something. They'll leave the register area to keep their eye on you, but not offer help finding things. It was creepy. read more

Great little market in Port Townsend! I stumbled upon it on accident and had to go back. The have everything you need in one convenient stop...wine, soda, kombucha, water, homemade cookies, fresh fruit, jerky, frozen custard, sushi...the list goes on and on. They even have a decent selection of organic soaps, lotions, and oils for the more granola type shoppers :-). This will be my go-to shop next time I head to Fort Worden to camp. read more
