I have reported this to the store owner and he does not seem to care about it. Recently, I purchased a bag of brown rice which has several worms and the store owner does not bother to address my complaint. He has a very rude attitude and simply mentions he will follow up with the vendor and does not bother about the sub-standard products sold.

They don't handle perishable food well. Avoid this store…read more Sold us rotten food and then would not take responsibility for the return. Been going there for years and recently we bought a batch of paneer. One of the blocks was rotten. The others were all done because we'd put them all in the fridge as soon as we got home. They said that we'd likely not have handled it properly though the other pieces were fine. After shopping there for years, they would not stand behind their product to a customer over a $15 block of cheese. I would not trust a store that doesn't stand behind their products like this.

The thing I like the most is that they have fresh ingredients for my Mexican food meals. I wouldn't go anywhere else but here to buy Carne Asada for a big party . This store has everything you need to make a perfect Mexican meal. Vegetables and meat are always so fresh and delicious! Fair prices and I also love that it's right down the street from my house and owned by a family that I've come to know. Try the pork tamales made in house- they're delicious.

I have visited similar stores in North Seattle and Shoreline, but this one seems to be much more Russian focused and has a wider selection of kvass, sweets, teas, and coffees. During this first visit, I purchased a smaller frozen loaf of Lithuanian rye bread, some cheese slices, chocolate wafers, and a Russian version of Nutella. I was the lone customer during this initial visit, but then eventually there were other individuals and family groups onsite. It was good to see that this spot had their regulars and with their usual requested deli items. It'll be fun to bring The Homie here during the upcoming academic year, as he will be studying first year Russian at the university. Nice find to add to my other stops, European Foods in North Seattle and Euro Deli Lakomka in Shoreline.

You can send money in the back to the country of your choice. Unfortunately, I have no reason to use it and I never have. They are open good hours, the store is really clean and I never wait to checkout. The checkout person is usually a high school age person who is very polite and personable. I am in and out in 15 minutes thanks to their free parking right out front and organized store. They consistently have more cooking items that I need than the other Brazilian coffee/snack shops with similar retail stores. Prices are lower than the other latin/brazilian stores and more like prices on Amazon from foreign suppliers.

I'm honestly disappointed to write this review…read more I've been shopping at Goodies for about six months now. They sell dukkah (along with other condiments and seasonings) that are hard for me to find, which saves me the time of making them myself. I've also been buying my lamb from them. On July 3, I purchased two packs of lamb chops. One pack was perfectly fine, but the other was clearly spoiled. I still cooked the good pack, but it wasn't enough for everyone to have. I've been cooking lamb for years--I know how it should smell and how it should look. This meat was off. I called the next day to let them know, and they told me they would replace it. I explained that I live over an hour away, so I wouldn't be able to come back until I was in the area again. They assured me they would still honor the exchange. When I came in today, I was met with so much rudeness that I was honestly shocked. I felt embarrassed by the way I was treated. I had really enjoyed supporting this small business up until this point. Because I was so shaken by the interaction, I didn't even realize until I got home that I had originally purchased a six-pack of lamb chops, but I was only given a four-pack in exchange. When I returned the spoiled meat, the woman behind the counter insisted she would "never sell meat like that." I tried to show her the timestamped photo I had taken of the meat when I purchased it, but she refused to even look at it. At one point she said she "didn't know what my deal was," and then suggested it was somehow my refrigerator's fault before asking, rather dismissively, "Well, what do you want?" I'm a very understanding person. When you're selling raw meat, sometimes things happen. Products can spoil. I wasn't looking for an argument--I simply expected for the issue to be handled professionally and with kindness. Instead, I was treated as though I was trying to cause a problem. I'm sure many people will continue to shop here without issue. However, left feeling like I wasn't afforded the same courtesy or respect that other customers might have received. Maybe I would have been treated differently had I looked different. I can't say that for certain, but I also can't think of another reason I was met with such hostility when I approached the situation politely and respectfully from the very beginning. No customer should leave feeling the way I did. The top pack of lamb pictured was perfect. The bottom pack smelled bad and was greenish in person. As you can see via time stamp - I purchased the lamb on the 3rd and began to cook it on the 4th of July.
