I'd like to share a very disappointing experience on July 5th, 2025, that I had at Kitchen & Market…read moreat the Medina location. While shopping for groceries and enjoying a coffee with my friend Jane at the store, I politely asked for a cup of water. To my surprise, I was told -rather curtly- that water is only available for purchase. This was unexpected, especially since during a previous visit, I had been offered water with my coffee without any issue. When I expressed my confusion, the staff member (a woman of Far East origin) continued to be dismissive and rude. I found the interaction unnecessarily abrasive and not at all in keeping with the welcoming environment I had experienced before. Another Google review also describes a similarly combative attitude, perhaps from the same individual. If she remains on staff, it could seriously impact the business's reputation. I'll be steering clear of this location." It's unfortunate that a thoughtful concept--one that Stephanie clearly put care and intention into--is being undermined by poor customer service. Experiences like this can have a lasting impact on customer loyalty. It felt as though the staff member would have rather been anywhere else--and unfortunately, that lack of enthusiasm came through in the way she treated paying customers. I support sharing this feedback, especially since Stephanie--the owner--isn't likely to witness these interactions firsthand. Multiple honest reviews about the staff may help paint a more accurate picture of the experience customers are having. On a more positive note, my friend's sons really enjoyed everything she picked up from the store. She sliced up some cold roast beef and sautéed it with green beans and Stephanie's stir-fry sauce - it turned out great. Stephanie's concept of providing curated meal shortcuts really worked for them!pre

Today I stopped by the Medina location again. I planned to buy ONE item and once again bought way…read moremore than planned! One heaping shopping bag later, I was on my way home. Since my first visit, they had a lot of new items out on the shelves. I also noticed that almost everyone who came into the store was greeted by name! The store is small, but I'm pretty sure you can find anything you might need here.

Unfortunately this store is not as good as it used to be. The hot food bar looks like garbage…read moreafter 1 pm. The trays are burned and the food in the trays is burned and dry. They should be changing the trays in the hot bar every few hours to maintain the fresh look and they should get rid of the old burned food. They also serve the same soup everyday. It's never fresh after 2 pm. They also used to have some nice potato soup and they stopped serving it. It's the sane few soups everyday. I just don't think the people that work in that department are happy to be there. I got screamed at one day when I asked when a fresh chicken will be out and he told that there are still chicken out there with anger when there was only two pieces of dry chicken setting there. Terrible way to talk to customers. I am hoping they can do something about the hot food bar and soup selections soon.

A few years ago, PCC moved to a new location in downtown Kirkland in the Boardwalk apartment…read morebuilding near Kirkland Urban and Kirkland Library. Have been stopping by this location more recently on the way home from work to pick up a few things. While I have only walked to the store, they do have free parking in the building garage. The store is on the smaller side compared to other Eastside PCC locations. Store interior feels a bit sterile and usually quiet when I shop here. Not a bad thing if you like shopping in a less crowded store. And I will say the store interior is an improvement from the old store which looked dated. It is not my favorite PCC to shop at, but I will continue to frequent it when I am nearby and looking to pick up some groceries.

SAFEWAY @ KIRKLAND…read more This used to be one of my favorite Safeway locations in Washington! It's spacious, has great produce, and items. It has however changed over the time, the staff don't seem friendly, I've walked in a couple times and just been fully glared at by staff in the front. Bathrooms are dirty and it's pretty sticky floors. There is also workers smoking on the side of Safeway outside right by the Handicap, no issue with smoking, but they are ALWAYS lingering around where customers are walking to the car. There is also homeless people always out front where you enter 124th street. Other than that, the selection is great, there is a Starbucks in the store as well, and the produce is fresh. I really enjoy the bakery items, they are delicious and the workers are always kind there!

Most workers at this Safeway are very unhelpful and rude. Moved my prescriptions from the pharmacy…read morebecause pharmacist called me a liar and said they answer the phone after I tried multiple times to call and couldn't even leave a message as did the CVS pharmacist and the Safeway pharmacist said I was wrong that they always answer their phone. Even the store's assistant manager said they don't answer their phone pharmacy's phone. Today, 7/3/26, there was a bag of two trays of chicken in my cart. I walked it back into the store and asked the gal standing at the exit to the self check and asked if she was a supervisor or manager. She wasn't even kind or smart enough to speak to me, she just pointed to customer service and pointed to a line of customers she wanted me to get into. I moved the cart closer to her and said, "I'm not waiting in that line" and walked away. My blood sugar was rapidly dropping and as I walked away I took 2 glucose tabs. She never did say a single word to me. There are only a couple of competent employees at this store and I only shop there because some of there prices are good. I have transferred ALL of my prescriptions to CVS where everyone is far more competent and friendly. I suggest you do the same. And, as for your groceries there's Fred Meyer, QFC, and Trader Joe's. Forget Safeway. And, I have been a Safeway customer for over 30 years while living in California, Arizona, Washington (multiple times). Never have I dealt with as horrible a Safeway as the one on 85th St in Kirkland)

They started having specials with their fishes and it was such a great deal we couldn't resist…read more Wednesday special was hand rolls for 99 cents each!!!! 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.

FRED MEYER @ KIRKLAND…read more Parking is available in a huge lot, with handicap spots right out front. It's super accessible, and there's always plenty of space for customers. I've been to this Fred Meyer multiple times, and I always enjoy coming here. The store itself is gigantic, you can find everything from clothing to fresh fruits, veggies, snacks, and so much more. A lot of items are usually on sale, which I love. They always have great deals like "buy two, get one free," and their fruit selection is especially my favorite. They even have a Starbucks inside! The staff is really friendly, and I like that they offer multiple checkout stations. There are two different entrances, and both sides have checkout lanes, plus self-checkout options. It's always a smooth and easy process. Overall, I really enjoy my experience here at Fred Meyer.

Almost every store labeled a "European Deli" is basically a specialty store for Russian food goods…read more This one is not different. If you like Russian packaged foods, you will love this place. I find those foods to be mostly of inferior quality, both in flavor and in how well-made they are. First time in. Good selection. See my previous comment about Russian packaged foods. Add the fact that money is going back to Russia and Putin, and I will not be returning.

European Deli & Produce is a small grocery store that focuses on Eastern and Central European…read moregroceries. They have uniquely sourced items that are from Poland, Ukraine, and neighboring countries, as well as familiar items like house made baklava. When I shop there, I mostly concentrate on their dry goods such as sauces in jars, sweets, and easy to cook foods like frozen perogies (dumplings). Amongst the sweets, the Polish Wawel Mieszanka Krakowska chocolate covered jelly candy is a welcome treat. I enjoy wafer treats, so the Roshen wafers from Ukranine is my choice. I haven't had much luck with their produce; I skip them. (FYI: The business uses the Yelp photos to post the latest produce that has arrived, which is perfectly legitimate. But because they don't delete the previous photos, the Yelp photos suggest they may have a bigger produce section than they actually have at a given time. I was confused the first time I stepped in.) The shop is located in a strip mall with plentiful parking. The space is older, which I honestly don't care as long as it is clean. I don't require much service since I only need to pay and go. For me, this store doesn't serve the deli or the produce function in its name. But I do enjoy exploring their different items and choosing something new-to-me to try. That is good enough.
