What a huge variety of cheese! Every inch is packed with delicious goodness. 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!

We had their flagship tomato soup, Best Mac n Cheese, Flagship basil and tomato cheese sandwich, their grilled cheese. While we were in a bit of rush and making these items 10-15 minutes, but it was well worth the wait. For the tomato soup they offered complementary croutons and cheese - which is amazing. Their plastic utensils look extra-ordinary. So we thoroughly enjoyed the place. The store we visited in the mall has few tables nearby to sit which can be busy but if you wait around one of them will likely open up soon.

The mac and cheese here was honestly disappointing. I saw so many reviews saying it was amazing and…read moreworth the price, but I definitely disagree. For $18, I expected rich, cheesy mac and cheese made with actual cheese, but it tasted more like powdered cheese. Unfortunately, I wouldn't come back or recommend this place.

You can choose from a variety of fishes as well. They were pretty fresh and yummy. The guy working there was really nice. He had a lot of advice and suggestions. The place is literally a fish market so not a dine in place. Parking is ample. Otherwise, it's pretty quiet and calm. The stuff is sometimes pricey but when they do deals like this, it's worth it. Will probably be back for their sushi and sashimi special as well.

But the lunch omakase special is what I really wanted I think. But even so. The poke bowl was mixed. I have to unfortunately knock off the stars/taste because the rice I got was literally the worst rice I've ever had touching raw fish. The rice was like hard and stale. I even had a clump that looked like it was the burnt part from leaving it on the cooker for too long and it couldn't bite it. I know this place is for the fish, but there's a bare minimum expectation on rice quality. And the fish itself was good? Maybe cuz it's the poke and not the omakase (so mixed chopped pieces) but there were pieces that tasted super fresh and delicious and then there were pieces that had so much tendon I couldn't bite through it. The folks there were super nice and friendly especially since I had no idea what to order. Just wish I was more delighted by the meal, especially cuz it was like $18 poke bowl. I'll give it another try with hopes it's better next time.

I have ordered them for a special Mother's Day treat, for some snacks to take out wine tasting, and I've even ordered them as gifts for co-workers. The process of ordering has been super easy and it so convenient to have the box delivered to your house! They will also customize boxes depending on your food allergies or preferences (e.g., vegetarian or vegan). I highly recommend using Goodness Grazers if you want an amazing snack box.

We will be returning and can't wait to try our haul of Yums.

What amazing service and high quality fish that is served here!…read more It is organized and well maintained around the store. Plus, there's plenty of samples of fish and other goodies! The employee helping my friend and I was so kind and helpful. He gave us recommendations and overall provided a great experience. Food was beyond... FANTASTIC. I am dreaming to come back to this place. High quality everything. My friend and I shared a 2 protein poke bowl and the salmon panini. Definitely two amazing things you could order here. I wish I took pictures but we absolutely scarfed down the food. LOL. Please give this place a shot when in Seattle! Amazing is an understatement about this spot. (PS, Look at their refrigerator and try out their hawaiian sodas, SO GOOD, and their ice cream!!!!)

Pulled up for a late lunch on a Saturday around 1:15PM and found a bit of a line piling up the…read moredoor. Seattle Fish Guys is a small store with very limited indoor seating and a couple of picnic tables outside for when the weather is nice. Overall, it is a little pricey, but still an authentic Hawaiian poke experience, which can be hard to find in Seattle proper. Sweet Shoyu Salmon (4.25/5): Salmon is fatty and almost melt in your mouth with a perfectly balance between sweet and savory. Onions add a bit of tang and overall a pretty perfect poke. Creamy Spicy Tuna (3.25/5): The texture on the tuna was just much less satisfying and this poke kind of just tasted overwhelmingly of sriracha. Definitely go for the salmon instead. Smoked Salmon Mac Salad (4/5): Not the creamy mac salad I was expecting, but instead a drying mac salad with a very generous amount of smoked salmon flaked in it. Definitely the boujee-est side I've gotten at a poke shop!

We came here for lunch after a flight from Texas. It was conveniently down the hill from our hotel,…read moreand since we both love a great sandwich, this place looked very promising. Happily, it delivered! We split the porchetta sandwich, which was quite tasty. Now, I will say it is not quite at the gold-standard level of the porchetta sandwich from the Roli Roti truck in San Francisco, but that is an extremely high bar. The bread here was fantastic, and the sandwich itself was full of flavor. The inside is cute, and watching two guys dedicate their lives to making sandwiches in the open kitchen is part of the fun... I also spotted a tray coming out of the oven that looked like thick, PERFECTLY crispy bacon, - so whatever sandwich that was going into is definitely what I'm ordering if I ever get here again. One warning, though: I hate the chairs. I am not a skinny person, and these chairs are just uncomfortable. There, I said it. Great sandwiches, fun little spot, and I would absolutely come back. Just please, someone, rethink those chairs!

6/10 Cubano sandwich 6/10 Porchetta sandwich…read more 5/10 cold ham sandwich 4/10 seasonal soup I had high expectations after a family member was recommending the sandwiches here. The interior is cozy and old world city vibes. Not a ton of seating and it can take a bit for getting your sandwich. It took 30-40 minutes to get our sandwiches at lunch time. After we already had waited in line. There was a line out the door when we got there. You order on a tablet and several people in front of us were quite slow ordering and it made the line take awhile. We waited at least 10-15 minutes in the line. They have an order ahead option I would utilize next time. The seasonal soup was kale and potato. It was very bland and watery. I wouldn't get it again. The bread was tough and chewy. You definitely get a jaw workout. Both of the warm sandwiches could have used a side of Au jus to soften the bread. The meat looks generous, but they do the sandwich trick. You fold the meat in the middle to make it look generous. But the ends are basically devoid of meat. Maybe a sliver. Flavors were really good. The mustard on the Cubano had a nice kick. Porchetta had a kick from the chimichurri and pickled peppers. Both were a little spicy and my son didn't love it so we ordered him a cold ham sandwich without the mustard. The cold meats are high quality as well, but definitely a little plain compared to the warm sandwiches. Overall 5/10 experience though. More evenly distributed meat and softer bread it would be A solid 10/10.

I used to come down here often but now it takes 20 minutes to get there instead of five in the old days. The window display grabbed my attention because it had a lot of cute new jellycats. Went inside and they had a small section of new Jellycats, picked up two of the Valentine's Day macaroons and looked at a couple others. They had several great sale items at 70% off. Overall, the store is super cute and the owner and the person that were working there were super nice and friendly. I find the other reviews hard to believe but maybe they've changed over the years. Would definitely stop in here again if I was looking for a gift or the latest in JellyCats..

I had a very disappointing and uncomfortable experience at Hedge & Vine in Bellevue…read more When we walked in, the white woman working there did not greet us at all. No "hello," no acknowledgment nothing. Almost immediately after, another white customer came in and she greeted her and began helping her right away. The difference in treatment was very noticeable. Throughout the time we were in the store, she kept looking at me in a strange and uncomfortable way. It felt like we were being judged rather than welcomed as paying customers. There was no effort to assist us, check on us, or make us feel comfortable in the space. Customer service should be equal and respectful to everyone who walks through the door. Instead, I left feeling ignored and singled out. I don't take accusations like this lightly, but the experience genuinely felt discriminatory. I hope management takes this seriously and evaluates how customers are being treated. No one should feel unwelcome in a business because of how they look.
