Then I was passing by their Kimchi refrigerated cooler and I was like it's nearly all gone hmmm that means people must like it. So I grabbed a container! I usually get my Kimchi from Costco, but not anymore. After eating their Kimchee there's just no comparison. If you're into Asian and Indian foods I recommend coming here.

The feel isn't that of "kitschy touristy keepsakes", as the downtown market often is. These are all local businesses run by locals. In addition to lots of fresh produce, there are also lots of hip new businesses serving up great eats. And they have live music. They've also got "kiddie tables" for the little ones.

In short: If you're looking for some delicious sandwiches or authentic Vietnamese Bánh Mì and…read moredrinks, this is the place to go! I bought a bánh mì thịt người (deli meats) and went home to share some with my husband, and we immediately went back to get 3 more I'm from Orange County, CA (known to have high concentration of Vietnamese population), and walking in the store is like coming back home. The owner is a very nice and friendly Vietnamese mom, came to the US ten years ago. We were chatting and watching her make the banh mi, and it just looked so satisfying to see her cutting the bread and see the steam rising. Perfectly toasted outside, fluffy inside, stuffed with meats and fillings. The bánh mì thit người was savory, with hints of sweetness, spice, and pickles veggies. You can request to not have those in the sandwhich, but all the flavors really meld together into a delicious experience. She sells tons of drinks there. We tried her Viet coffee, and her's is very rich and has a deep sweet flavor to it (be careful not to drink too late in the day if you're sensitive to caffeine). There's also a large variety of tropical fruit like longan, lychee, baby mango, mangosteen, etc. I highly recommend anyone who wants to eat Viet food, try interesting specialty drinks, or just wants to support small local businesses to check out her store.

Very nice people but a very expensive Asian grocery store. The nice thing about this store is many…read moreitems are fresh and still alive lol (crab) which is probably the reason for the higher prices. I was a little disappointed the last time I came in as I wanted just half of the Asian squash and I asked if they could half it and they said no. I know they do it because I heard the owner offer to cut it for someone during their live stream earlier that day but they did not do it for me when I asked. The best pro of this place imo!They have a delicious bahn mi! I can't stop thinking about it! Anyways, I only really shop here if I am looking for something specific like blue crab but other than that I am glad they have fresh shipment of veggies and Asian fruits that come in.

Health FTW! I love me a good smoothie/pressed juice type place. They deliver on the goodness…read more The snack bowls are delicious. The smoothies are on point and they even have avocado as an option now so you already know I'm super sold!! The place inside is nice, small but perfect if you want to sit for a little and enjoy your smoothie. The tables could be wiped down a bit better but it wasn't terrible. Service acknowledged us right away and was friendly. They're careful about allergies too. And they're mindful about keeping Alaska clean and not ruining the environment.

I love this business and this location. However the tall blonde that was working when I came in at…read more11:30 seemed to be having a bad day because her attitude reflected and the smoothie that I ordered was made extremely fast and when I tasted it upon coming to work none of the ingredients were thoroughly blend and was not drinkable. I want to iterate the fact that I really like the owner who is always welcoming and friendly to all of the customers. This employee did not reflect the values of this wonderful company and this is why I'm writing this review. I tip anyhow because thats the right thing to do no matter what. I just hope that the people after me got better service

I know that's not the only reason. But holy cow.... 27 bucks for mouth wash? 10 dollars tofu I can get somewhere else for half the price, same brand? 8 dollars for gluten free pasta? Who can afford to shop here? Come here with a list. Get exactly what you and GET OUT. Definitely support them if you can, its a mom and pop, but the fanciness is a real put off for me.

Rude employees. Here's the breakdown: 1. No one greeted me…read moreor said hello when I walked in. 2. Dude was stocking shelves with his very loud heavy metal rock music playing which was target offense. Shouldn't a place like Natural Pantry only permit music therapy kind of sounds? 3. Overzealous LP dude who must still be upset he failed the Trooper Academy gave my wife grief for smelling the AROMATHERAPY items. He was both rude and inappropriate. 4. The entire store both looks and smells like 1970. 5. My nurse friend is opening up a wellness center that is going to carry updated clean and natural products and have professional staff to help shoppers rather than harass them.

Full Circle was delivering beautifully fresh produce to my front door even before the Covid-19…read morelockdown. It was a great help to have while my disabled husband was needing more and more attention. Now, 3 years later and their produce is still THE BEST. Better even than my favorite grocery store. Customer service is always stellar, there never seems to be a mistake in my box or my credit card. You can choose the size of box, what goes into your box, and even choose how frequently the box is delivered. What could be better?

And the convenience of fresh produce coming to your door every week can't be beat, I've even added local milk deliveries (though I wish I could automatically have it come each week without having to add it each time). I get the harvest box which is perfect for my family of four. My amazing 7 year old daughter decided to become a vegetarian June 2012, since she has gone meatless the rest of the family only eats meat a couple times a week (I could probably give it up but my husband never could) so we go through a lot of produce. I also enjoy that the produce is so varied. There are so many things I've never tried and I love receiving items I wouldn't regularly buy because then I get to try new things. For example, I never buy any squash besides pumpkin and I've bee having fun preparing a variety of squash recipes. Also, I had never heard of Rainbow Chard before getting these deliveries and it is the most beautiful green and I love making Rainbow Chard Alfredo, sooooo good! My experience with Full circle deliveries has been awesome! Though I do think they could replace the box with reusable totes. I get milk in a cool pack I have to return each week, I wouldn't mind doing the same with totes.

A sign at the cheese kiosk advertised 20% off Murray's Cambozola Black Label if you have a Fred…read moreMeyer loyalty card, which I do have. The unit price on the label/sticker was $24.99/lb. That's the price if you don't have the loyalty card and, thus, don't get the discount. The sticker then went on to show the "price with card," i.e., the discounted price, i.e. the 20% off price. And that unit price showed as $20.69/lb. That's a discount, yes, but it's not a 20% discount. To simplify, let's say the un-discounted unit price was $25/lb (a penny more than the actual un-discounted price). What's 20% of $25? Five dollars. So the discounted price with loyalty card should have been $20/lb. Another sign at the kiosk advertised 20% off Murray's Aged Manchego. Same problem: Fred's system didn't calculate the 20% correctly. The un-discounted unit price was $26.99/lb., but the same sticker showed the price with card to be $23.59/lb. Twenty percent off $26.99 is $21.59, not $23.59. So, I was being charged $2 more per pound than the advertised price on the sign right there at the kiosk. The nice young woman at the cheese kiosk seemed to understand what I explained to her in person, but she said she couldn't change the pricing; all the cheese sales staff does is weigh the portions and their system spits out a label. So I spoke in person to the man at the customer service counter, who also told me he couldn't change the pricing system and he didn't think anyone else in the store could, either. He noted that the PLU number on the sign didn't match the PLU on the sticker affixed to the hunk of cheese. I phoned and spoke with a grocery manager who did not listen, tried to say I misunderstood, then hung up on me. Then I phoned the 800 number and, once I got past the automated answering system and spoke to a person, she listened, seemed to understand, and said she'd pursue it. Bottom line for you, other Freddie's patrons, is: Check the math on the advertised discount. Make sure that the discount shown on the label agrees with the advertised discount.
