I've driven past this spot a gazillion times and just read this specialty business has been around since 1997! Props for longevity! I stopped in yesterday (1/22/26) for three reasons: I had a Too Good To Go confectionary pickup, wanted to see their Kasama Chocolate selection, and look around after my 15-16 year hiatus. Parking along Elliott in the Interbay area is dicey due to bus lanes, parking restrictions and traffic flow. Luckily, there are a few parking slots on the south side of their building, adjacent to Holy Mountain Brewing. Walked in and was blown away at the retail layout, so much to see! The counter person (owner?) was busy with another customer. Their convo was very warm and interactive. So I slowly meandered through the store and really liked what I saw. I should have come here for useful holiday gifts. I was later checked upon inquiring whether I needed any help locating any particular item(s). Chocolates, spices, olive oils, sauces, condiments, pasta, and other specialty items that a culinarian, gourmand, or treasure seeker would fully enjoy. The retail displays are so enticing and provides a lot of inspiration. Plus ChefShop is a lot closer to me than heading to PFI on S Dearborn. I ended up having to restrain myself and selected ras el hanout and berbere spice jars and two bars of Kasama Chocolate for purchase. The latter I learned about from Instagram, much closer than having to trek to Granville Island Public Market in Vancouver, BC. Plus my TGTG confectionary bag, everything found made for a successful retail visit. Terrific retail layout. Welcoming and informative customer service. With the loss of Chocolopolis further down Elliott, ChefShop is another great resource for quality chocolate varieties. Definitely, follow them via IG (@chefshopseattle) for up to date info & classes. Great to stock your pantry, find unique gifts for others, and treats for yourself. Just don't have such a long delay between visits like me. Highly recommended!

I had picked up some canned fish that had expired several months prior. However, I did not see the expiration date on the 2.2 pounds of pinhead oats that I purchased until I went to use them just now and they have a best buy date of 2/26 (I purchased them in May). I did not buy that many products so I'm wondering how many other items were past date.

The oysters were excellent--super fresh and flavorful, though they were a bit on the smaller side and fairly expensive for the size.

While checking out, I used two paper bags and was confronted by an employee who essentially forced me to add the bag charges to my bill. While I understand there is a Washington state bag law, the employee's approach felt completely aggressive and unnecessary for a 24-cent issue. Metropolitan Market already charges premium prices, and being policed over paper bags at a self-checkout is an incredibly uninviting customer experience. I will definitely think twice before coming back to this location.

It was overall a great experience with one exception; the chairs are dreadful. While I am sure that helps get people to move along, they are hard, no backs and sized for a small child.

It's obvious the hush puppies are a favorite as they kept flying out. We ordered them. They were soft and creamy with a delicious sauce! I had the scallops, which were huge and while I almost didn't order them because they came on a bed of frisse, but this was excellent and I really enjoyed it.

A small homely room with plenty of board games is available for kids as well. We ordered a Chardonnay and a Fever Dream cocktail. Our drinks were refreshing and crisp.
