So glad this spot is in the neighborhood! The gentlemen who work here are always fabulous, and I appreciate that they pick up the phone right away when I call to see if they have items in stock. 10/10! read more

Easy place for us to visit, as there's not that many markets in Eastlake. Selection is pretty limited, but people are nice and they have basic essentials. Come for lunch to try their sandwiches! My favorite is the Lake Union. read more

Quite possibly my favorite breakfast sandwich in Seattle. Say yes to the "breakfast sauce"!!!

Got the Vinnie's Italian sandwich- no salami and it was impeccable! Large portion for a good price and it came with a hi chew candy/ how cute! My friend got a coffee and she said it was also pretty good for a standard latte. The bread and sandwich fillings were ample and I will say I will be back! read more

Came here on a recommendation from my Manager (Daniel) and I'm so glad I did. Sandwhich bread is Artesin, crunchy, warm, tuna is not overly salty. It can get busy during lunch so call ahead. Your sandwich comes with a nice crunchy pickle, as well as a York patty mint (so cute!) owner is really kind and it seems like he really cares about his customers and business. read more

It's a great neighborhood spot for a quick sandwich, chips, and a drink. I love the lake union sandwich! Cashier is always kind

Small mom and pops deli and market right off Eastlake Ave in a convenient location. Pop in for a quick sandwich (they've got many options) or a coffee or a bag of chips. The sandwiches are great and the owner is very nice! I came by as a part of my Eastlake Escapade (see Other section for description of what that is. Food I got the Eastlake club sandwich and it left me wanting to come back to try the other sandwiches! The have the Boar's Head meat sandwich sign outside so that is what I guess they use. A common chain deli meat provider for the Seattle area I believe and it's still good. The vegetables they used were fresh. The bread was soft on the inside and I appreciated that the sandwich wasn't all bread. They even throw in a pickle on the side! There's a wide variety of chips and snacks up can also pick up to compliment your sandwich. Atmosphere Nothing fancy at all. Just a deli and small market you can quickly pop in and out of for whatever food or drink needs you might have. The surrounding area of this deli is very nice though. Just walk down the hill and you'll find a picnic bench on the edge of Lake Union that overlooks the lake and Gas Works park!!! Perfect for a summer day! Pricing Average pricing for sandwich from a deli. Service The owner works alongside some staff and everyone here is very friendly! It's what makes me come back. Other Ample street parking so you can pop in quick. Some seating right outside. Or if you walk down Hamlin street there's a picnic bench right on Lake Union with a beautiful view of the lake and Gas Works park. My Eastlake Escapade refers to my food adventures that I go on during my lunch break since I work in the area. read more

Hamlin Market and Deli - Deli in a very nice location! - Grocery Near Me - Seattle, Washington

Everyone who works here is so nice and helpful. They also have great sandwiches! If you need a quick snack or a few items definitely stop on in. read more

Lived near here and went almost every day. Love this place! Has great sandwiches and coffee. Very nice workers.

Food was delicious -- they were extremely accommodating to special requests. I got the Big Dipper, and the Au Jus really was delicious!!

We only stopped by during a stroll through Eastlake to quench our thirst. Bought a couple drinks so not much else to add. They didn't have the specific drinks we were looking for but had some reasonable alternatives. Also, the young guy working the counter was very nice and personable. read more

Terrible service, waited 32 minutes for a single sandwich. Hot sandwich which was also cold and tiny compared to the usual size. A little business tip, don't take online orders if you can't handle your customer load already. 4 of us in there waiting while other orders are filled and people come in and out, unacceptable. read more

Came here to order a chicken sandwich w/ muenster cheese, lettuce, and whole wheat bread. It was tasty and satisfied my hunger. It was what you would expect for a sandwich. Wouldn't say the service was quick as it took 10-15 minutes for a cold sandwich (it didn't need to be heated). I saw another person waiting for his order at the time so I took a walk and had to come back twice for it. I would come here again to get a sandwich craving when in the area! For 4 stars, the sandwich would have to be a bit tastier - more mayo perhaps - it landed on the dry side for me. For 5 stars, it would have to be one of the best I've tasted but otherwise this satisfies a general sandwich hankering read more

They always have great sandwiches available for pickup within 5-15 minutes, save for lunch rush between 12-1. The staff are friendly. I enjoy the Tokyo Tuna the most, add avocado. Their cappucinos and lattes are made well. Give them a try. read more

The deli sandwiches are delicious, no matter which one you order. The owner and employees are nice too. The prices are a little high but there aren't many other stores or mini marts in this area. The sandwiches are made to order and come with a pickle spear. They use to come with an andes mint, but I guess that has changed. I recommend the lake union: turkey and bacon on wheat; big dipper: roast beef and au jus sauce (they frequently sell out of this so I have to ask if they have any that day); tokyo tuna: tuna sandwich with wasabi mayo; blt bomber: bacon with guacamole. These are my regular go to's. They also have a large variety of drinks alcoholic and non-alcoholic, chips and snacks. There are plenty of frozen items available but prices are pretty steep. The Asian sesame noodles and smoked mozzarella pasta aren't to shabby either. Or you can get a breakfast bagel and coffee or even a boiled egg and yogurt. If your in the area and you want something quick, come here. read more

Really over it with all the racism and colorism I have to experience every single day in Seattle even from other people of color? It makes no sense! Jake is working here tonight at 5:45 and he was either being racist colorist or he is not aware of the correct law when regards to alcohol. If a customer is obviously of the legal age you do not have to check their ID. I have my mast permit and I am a bartender and I know this for a fact because you have to read the laws in regards to the alcohol codes when you get the mast permit. I asked him when was the last time he read the law and he said he doesn't even know... They need to hire somebody who is aware that can do it right and provide proper customer service! read more

The best little spot! It's a small location but they have anything you could ever need for a quick stop in: beer, wine, snacks, frozen dinner, and of course excellent we'll-priced sandwiches. Home run! read more

My go-to sandwich spot for lunch in Eastlake. Tried the Porky Melt (new pulled pork barbecue sandwich) today, and it was bomb! Also a huge fan of the Gobble-Gobble-Gobble (Turkey w/ bacon, Mayo and cranberry sauce). The staff is very welcoming, prices are affordable as a student and they have a nice selection of beer, wine, and snacks. They are also equipped for contactless payment incl. Apple Pay, which is great to have right now. If you're looking for a small business to support, look no further! read more

Their Deli is supposed to be opened daily until 3pm. stopped in today, a Thursday, at 2:45 at the counter & was told, "sorry the Deli is closed". I questioned, "it's only 2:45 & you're supposed to be opened until 3pm.". The only expl offers was, "sorry it's closed already". if you advertise something I'd opened until a certain time then you should honor it or change your advertised hours!! read more

Came in while I was perusing the neighborhood last week. I just bought a tea and conversed with the nice attendant. The deli looks like it has great food, can't wait to try (I'll update review). Has a great mix of things needed for a quick meal at home.. higher quality microwave frozen food, puppy snacks for my poochie & wine. I'm often exhausted in the evening so it's beneficial to have a place like this to roll into after work. read more

Delis/markets... especially when they are in a residential/office/etc areas with little else within at least a couple blocks.... are SO wonderful! It was a Saturday morning and I was on my way to do some volunteer work planting some (native) trees/shrubs... and I wanted coffee. I walked a few blocks and then saw their sign advertising Vashon Coffee (Company). Extra points for working with a local company (that is apparently also family-owned)! They have a deli, cheese (blocks like in grocery stores- Hogs Head is the brand, I think? They have Delis and stuff in some QFC/Safeway locations?), all kinds of misc food items, bottled drinks, etc.... and the very important selection of drip and espresso drinks (as well as some tea/chai/etc). I got a tall mocha and it was pretty good. They also have a little "bar" type seating area against the window, which seems great for anybody who wants to eat their lunch there and/or possibly use their laptops (not sure about that one, but I did see one charging). read more

I love coming to the deli. All of the staff is extremely friendly and their sandwiches are so good! They even have small grocery items too. Overall 10/10 experience every time I go! read more

Hamlin Market and Deli is a cute, mom-and-pop convenience mart located on Eastlake Avenue. In this tiny store, there is a tidy selection of frozen food (think Amy's, DiGiorno, and the like), wine, beer, soft drinks and sundries. Since Eastlake doesn't have a grocery store, Hamlin Market is a decent substitute when you need stuff in the immediate area to tide you over till you can visit Trader Joe's in the U-District or QFC in Capitol Hill. The deli sandwiches and the service are the main draws here. I'm a big corned beef fan, so the Long Island Shuttle sandwich (corned beef, pastrami, Muenster cheese, delicatessen-style brown mustard, and horseradish on rye bread) really hits the spot! The sandwich is also served with a dill pickle spear--nice touch! Love! read more

Great place. The workers are courteous and helpful always. They have a deli with Boars Head products which is good stuff. Good variety of foods in case you need something and forgot it at the grocery store. Good selection of wines and beers. Great corner shop in one of my favorite parts of town. read more

Love their BLT sandwiches! Very convenient store with a surprising selection of grocery items. Super nice people .

This is a small neighborhood convenience store which is, well, convenient if you live in neighborhood. They have a limited amount of groceries at premium prices and a surprisingly diverse beer and wine section. There's also a deli where one can buy sandwiches and such during lunch hour. One major drawback in my mind is that when I'm desperate for something (e.g., coffee, milk) their $5 minimum on credit cards forces me to purchase more than I intended. This store will do in pinch, but as soon as there's a real grocery store in Eastlake that's where I'll be spending my $. read more

I have yet to have a sammich here that isn't freaking delicious. At present I'm munching on The Lake Union, sans tomatoes plus avocado, and holy yum. Love the crispy pickle and the Andes mint that come with every sandwich. Good, small selection of other foods that you might need if you live in the area and just don't have time to head to the supermarket. Sandwich area a liiitttllleee pricey, but not overwhelming. I've always been a big proponent of getting what you pay for, and this place makes that old adage ring true. The Quality is in the bag. If you're in the neighborhood and need a quick, delicious, & quality lunch, I highly recommend Hamlin Market. p.s. Parking is free on the south side of the building. read more

Everything is a bit overpriced here. Everything. Their selection of what would be considered your standard convenience store items is a little odd but it works. If you're claustrophobic you may want to skip over this quick-e mart since you need to be about 90 pounds or greased to the nines to navigate their aisles. They do have a deli here... if you're fortunate enough to come by when it's actually open (the deli keeps different hours from the rest of the shop) they make some great sandwiches and breakfast munchies. Again... over priced but tasty enough that I'm giving 3 stars for their yummy sandwiches instead of the 2 stars this place likely deserves overall. Hamlin is more a beast of convenience than someplace I would go as a destination. If you're in the area and need a pack of gum or something to drink it'll get you handled. read more

Love this spot! Little New York style deli. I got the Long Island sandwich and it was so tasty. They use boar head meats which are fantastic and they used fresh horse radish on the sandwich which was amazing. They also have a pretty good beer and wine selection. A little sammich and beer during a sunny eastlake summer day? I'll take it! The only bummer is that they are closed on the weekends. Next time I'd like to try their coffee. Also, I wouldn't recommend going here for a grocery trip by any means. The actual shelf items are incredibly expensive. read more

This is a fantastic neighborhood store/deli. I wouldn't go out of my way to visit here, but if you're in the area this is a solid spot for a deli sandwich. Might I recommend the Tokyo Tuna? It has a wasabi base that gives it an awesome bite. They have breakfast sandwiches too, but I haven't tried them as of yet. Everything I've tried for lunch has been good. They carry a variety of other items like any quick mart would. The convenience factor raises the prices so this isn't going to be someplace you buy your groceries, but it is a really great option if you need something last minute. The sandwiches really are tasty and the family running the place is always really kind and friendly. read more

My secret little go to place before quiet walks along the lake. Quick, convenient, major assortment of most deli hearts desire. And courteous staff! read more

At this very moment I am eating their Not Your Average BLT sandwich and felt compelled to spread the news that it's effin' DELISH!!!! This is one of the best BLTs I have ever had, not that I'm a certified BLT expert... but seriously, amazing. The bacon itself is not greasy, not flimsy, perfect cut of deliciousness. The tomatoes are thick and plentiful with lettuce and nicely-toasted wheat bread. The market is just down the street from my home and has a wonderful selection of typical market food, but surprisingly I saw some more gourmet products such as Sahale Snacks, Kashi Frozen Foods, etc. If you ever need beverages, snacks, ice cream, sandwiches, even pantry items, this place is convenient. Big plus that the people who own and work there are super courteous! read more

The Ham has recently changed owners, but they appear to be just as nice as the previous ones (even though no one will ever replace the cashier whose name I should have learned..). Anyway, they have very good sandwiches (my personal favorite is the Long Island Shuttle on wheat), even though they all taste the same after a while. The Urban Cowboy is very good too. They have a limited selection of fruits and vegetables, wine, crackers, and a plethora of soda (some natural cane sugar) and chips. They even have sewing kits, hair ties, safety pins, and other miscellaneous wonders! It's nothing amazing, but if you're close by it's worth the money for a to-go lunch. read more

Really excellent sandwiches! The meat is tasty, the veggies and bread are fresh. Great little neighborhood spot for a quick lunch or easy dinner pickup. The owner and staff are so nice. Stop in and support small business! I'm glad I did. I'm going again to pick up lunch for my office. read more

This little neighborhood market and deli in a very respectable neighborhood in the Lake Union/Eastlake district makes THE BEST sandwiches. And she makes them quick! Then, go find a park and have a picnic! You can eat there at a small counter, but why would you want to? Seattle has great places to nibble with a view. read more

My boyfriend and I discovered this little piece of heaven when we first moved to Seattle. Everyone knows when you are craving a true deli sandwich you can't just got to some shitty subway joint. And this place is far from tasting like subway. Overall Delicious sandwiches and an incredibly friendly staff. My recommendation is the BLT Bomber with Turkey. Sooooo goooood! read more

Damn you, Hamlin Deli, for making the most addicting, yummy-licious sandwiches, and all with a SMILE! I was hooked on the Lake Union. And now the Big Tuna. I never knew sandwiches could taste this good. All sandwiches come with a pickle and an Andes mint. Everyone who works there is friendly and they make sandwiches quickly for the lunch rush. It is everyone in my office's go-to place for lunch. And it will soon be yours, too.... read more

Great little corner store and market. They hook me up with breakfast sandwiches and lunch at work. They hit the spot, but not available on Sundays. Frozen lunches are available too, but with the small-store markup to be expected. The veg head, blazing Cajun, blts and Tokyo tuna are tasty. Food and exceptionally friendly staff keep me functional during my work day. read more

This place is great! I love that in addition to some of the typical convenience store junk food that you'd expect, they carry a lot of organic and natural convenience foods (Amy's Kitchen frozen foods, to name one). The prices are a little high, but not too bad. I haven't tried the coffee here yet but their chai is amazing, the sandwiches are good, and the staff is so amazingly friendly, I feel lucky to work across the street from this place. read more

Nifty little neighborhood market/deli. The sandwiches are quality and tasty, but a bit expensive considering the size. I don't really know what the deal is with Boars Head meat, but it's apparently good stuff. This is definitely a spot I'll hit up again for a quick sandwich to go. Try the Lake Union sandwich! read more
