I'm a sucker for a place that sells plants and realized this wasn't to far from where a friend and I were headed to pick up lunch. The owner was so welcoming and friendly. If you're looking for some self-care items for yourself or as gifts this is a great shop for just that. House-made candles, bath soaks, body butter and more. They also hod periodic workshops and yoga sessions. The owner is all about helping other small business as they are part of the Seattle Restored program.

I've been coming here for a few years now and then I left the city but whenever I do come back, I make sure to make a pit stop here. Why? Work is right next door to it. So that helps. But also, I feel like the veggies and fruits here are fresh, crisp, and tastier than other places. However... I do feel like prices are a bit higher than last time I was here a couple of months ago. They have parking in the back. It's small and getting in and out alive is a miracle each time. But it exist. If you elect to park on the street, parking enforcement is out everywhere and so be weary. I like their hot bar and salad bar. Always a rotation of items that keeps it busy interesting over time. What I don't think they are good for is snacks. Sometimes I just want something simple and not healthy and this place ain't it. I think this place is better for medium size shops.

SUNSET HILL GREEN MARKET: A VERDANT VALIDATION OF MY GREEN OBSESSION…read more Listen, while other markets waste time with multiple colors like some kind of chromatic circus, Sunset Hill Green Market understands the ABSOLUTE SUPREMACY of the color green. Their sign isn't just green - it's the exact shade of green that makes other greens question their commitment to greenness. Let me tell you about their produce section, which is basically a museum of green excellence. Their lettuce display? GREEN. Their kale arrangement? GREENER. Their broccoli presentation? THE GREENEST. It's like if Kermit the Frog designed a market but was REALLY serious about brand consistency. You haven't lived until you've witnessed their bell pepper selection, where they've somehow managed to source ONLY green ones. Red peppers need not apply. Yellow peppers? Please see yourself out. Orange peppers? Don't even think about it. This is a GREEN ONLY ESTABLISHMENT, and they're not sorry about it. Their bulk section features exclusively green products: green split peas, green lentils, green tea, and what I can only assume are specially selected green grains. I once saw someone try to purchase brown rice and the staff just silently pointed to the green rice (yes, they have that). The lighting is specifically calibrated to enhance the greenness of everything. It's like being inside a photosynthesis party where only the most verdant are invited. Their shopping baskets? Green. Their price tags? Green. Their employee uniforms? You guessed it - seventeen different shades of green layered for maximum green impact. Five stars for creating a space that celebrates the only color that matters. I've started hosting weekly green appreciation sessions where we just stand in different aisles comparing shades of green while wearing green clothing and drinking green smoothies. P.S. Their "Not Green Enough" return policy seems harsh but fair. I watched someone try to return a lime for not being green enough and honestly, they had a point. P.P.S. The security cameras are green. The security footage probably comes out looking like night vision, but that's just more green, so it's perfect. Note: This review was written while sitting in their green customer lounge, on a green chair, using a green pen, because commitment to theme matters. Special Addendum: To the customer who suggested they add some "pop of color" - first of all, how dare you, and secondly, the exit signs are already compromising enough by being legally required to be red. Final Thought: Never has a market so bravely stood against the tyranny of the full color spectrum. It's like if a forest decided to open a retail establishment but was really specific about its aesthetic. Remember: The first rule of Green Market is we don't talk about other colors. The second rule is also about not talking about other colors. Actually, all the rules are about maintaining green supremacy. Warning: Side effects may include seeing green spots when you close your eyes, developing strong opinions about different shades of green, and unconsciously organizing your own home by levels of greenness. P.P.P.S. Their new "Green Loyalty Program" awards points based on how much green you wear while shopping. Someone showed up in chartreuse last week and caused quite a scandal. Health Department Note: Yes, even their mold is purposefully green. They're very proud of this fact.

This is a very clean very well managed store. The deli is the cleanest I've ever seen. There are no…read morewindows here except at the very front. The employees are very nice and friendly. But the real problem is the exorbitant prices and the shoppers here look more than willing to pay those prices, so they must be really very well off. Typical prices are 25% to 40% higher than Safeway or Fred Meyer and that's not an exaggeration. Most of the deli salads are $10 a pound or more which is crazy high. The deli sandwiches are delicious and they are high price but they are well loaded with food about $9 each. Fresh lamb cuts are $15.99 a pound; fresh hamburger $10 a pound. Eggs are $9.00 a dozen and more. Talenti gelato is $6 a pint which is $1.50 higher than Amazon Fresh. I really don't buy much here except things like the deli sandwiches or hard to find soft drinks like Fentiman's, which are a real treat. The rest is just too expensive. Freezer manager: check them. There is a LOT of frost on the ice cream and frozen treats. You probably have a seal leak somewhere. I really liked the Skagit Valley Deli Chicken Sandwich, esp. when heated.

I wasn't sure what to expect from my first sushi making experience. It seems like it would be…read moreridiculously hard to craft an edible roll. I was 100% sure that I would look like an idiot trying to recreate a delicacy that is made with such grace. Tracy made it easy and fun for us to enjoy ourselves while making some outstanding sushi. Everything is set up to be foolproof (for the most part, I still found a way to mess a few things up), so you don't have to worry about it. You'll be interacting with others who are making things for the first time, and are just looking for a different type of date night. Tracy was also teaching us methodology and science behind why sushi is made a certain way in Japanese culture, even going as deep as helping us prepare rice to a certain temperature before using it. And it's good that they make the process simple here, because you're making your own dinner at the end of the night. The sushi class is a fun one, because you eat as the night goes on. You start off by making a couple hand rolls, then some another sushi course (blanking on the name), and end up making a massive sushi cake as the final dish, something I have never even seen or heard of before. I love what the pantry is doing for the community by having these cooking classes, and I can't wait to get back in here to try some more.
