It is so fragrant now in August: every 2' is another delectable item wafting its unique perfumes. Right now the fruit is a symphony! Mmmm! day So much of their stock is very local and you can sure taste the difference! Voluptuous tomatoes from Yakima. YUM! Oregon melons. Local and very fresh herb cuttings. UW Huskies™ russet potatoes. Go Dogs! Bake some! Make steak fries! Fantastic people; very friendly and so helpful too. It's on the Fresh Bucks program now, so that's great in an ever-increasingly expensive neighborhood. So glad they are resilient and were able to restart after the fire. I got so inspired in there, I made cookies for the first time in a few years; rhubarb/strawberry/white chocolate. Rhubarb $2#. When was the last time a market inspired you? Go there.

Knowing that they had just reopened after closing for a month, it was heart-wrenching watching the firefighters drill through the front door because I knew this would be a catastrophic loss. (The firemen responded within minutes and the fire was only on the porch as far as I could see.) This was a small business with affordable produce and snacks. It was a good grab-and-go store that served the neighborhood for over 30 years. I would swing by 2-3 times a week because it's a much better alternative to pricey Whole Foods down the street. The staff were always kind and helpful. I wish I had seen or heard something that night. I don't even want to believe it. Why even do this? Now the last best thing in Roosevelt is gone. Where do we go now for groceries? How many more businesses do we need to lose in this neighborhood?

I got the Blue Majik to share with my boyfriend and our friend got the Hagrid's Dragon. The quality was phenomenal and they don't skimp out on the smoothie portion in comparison to the toppings. Overall it was evenly distributed and made for delicious bowl! This is one of the greater smoothie bowls I've had and it was made quickly. The worker was quick and efficient in making it. Although, the inside is quite small it is quite good for a to-go if you're around the area taking a walk.

Super generous portion!…read more The bowl overall was okay! The açaí didn't really have any flavor to it, and the foods were all a bit sour. It was a good healthy breakfast option, but I've had better açaí bowls. + If you are allergic to any fruits, they don't do replacements, nor will they be willing to exclude the fruit you're allergic to from your bowl. The staff helping us recommended we just choose another bowl without that specific fruit. It was kinda hard because most of the bowls had the same fruits in them so that limited our choice to one-- the bowl we ended up getting.

I couldn't imagine how a local market could have a good burger, as most don't have grills. This place did not disappoint. The market itself was very clean, well stocked and had a good variety. I went to the burger counter, and ordered as I watched the grill with roughly 30 burgers cooking at once. The woman was very friendly, patient and helpful when I explained it was my first time. I decided on ordering two. It proved to be a good idea. The burger was fantastic, cheese radio was good, flavor was good. For the $7 price tag, it is a no brainer. Go for lunch. And get some grocery shopping in as well,

I've visited here probably at least once a month during berry season to get berries that aren't sold in stores, such as black raspberries, olallieberries, etc. There are other unique offerings sold here such as stone fruit which are broken down into their cultivar names (rare to see in supermarkets) and you get to talk to the farmers who are bringing in the delicious food to the market. Excellent market. As far as getting there, the light rail U District station is two blocks away from the farmers market, and there are parking lots for people who drive here. Super easy!

The flavor balance is amazing: bright citrusy yuzu with sweet mango, and the texture is light without being overly sugary. Their pastry section in general is fantastic. There's always a great selection, and everything looks fresh and well made. I also grabbed a loaf of San Francisco sourdough from the bakery section, and it was just right -- nice crust, soft inside, and a good tangy flavor. And the price was surprisingly reasonable for fresh bread. If you're nearby and have a sweet tooth (or just want good bread), this Whole Foods is definitely worth the stop.

For being a smaller location this Whole Foods still manages to keep a well stocked and clean store…read more A lot of product to look at! Main downside for me is if you come anytime after 10:30am it's packed. Parking is free right in front of the store but if you shop in the pm hours it will be a hassle sometimes finding a spot. This isn't my go to location but they always have what I need when I do shop here. I refill my alkaline water jugs here and like to browse the skin care aisle the most. They sell out of the sushi fast I notice every visit but are quick to restock the hot bar. This visit I found a Paleo Grilled Salmon with Fingerling Potatoes plate on 50% off which made for a nice quick lunch. Also loved finding the hello kitty collab with the Sweet Loren's brand of cookie dough which I love popping in the air fryer for a lazy quick warm late night treat! So yummy and gluten free and dairy free!

So, this is mostly a grocery store. But it's also really known for their deli - particularly their…read moresandwiches, of which they have around 20 different kinds. I went with the hot sandwich category, and chose the bull rider - which came with roast beef, cheese, and onions, and a dipping cup of au jus. This sandwich was pretty fantastic, and it starts with the bread. This bread is just great. The outside has a perfect lightly-hard texture that would provide some resistance of you were knocking on it, creating just enough of a crispiness felt across every bite. The inside is so damn soft; it feels like the air bubbles take over and make it special. Both sides are well-touched up with aioli - just the right amount to add moisture but not enough that it overpowers the flavor. The fillings were enjoyable as well. I thought the roast beef was solid; relatively standard but with a good amount of nicely browned edges. The pepper jack cheese melted perfectly and was hot and stretchy throughout. And the peppers and onions added that acidity and sweetness that came together just to complete everything. If I have one minor thing - the au jus felt pretty bland, kind of lacking in salt. I preferred to eat it without this cup. For just around $15, this sandwich is quite large. Very nice value on what you get. Overall, this is absolutely a place I'd come back to often to get different meats on the same bread. 8.75/10
