PCC is a fantastic market for organic vegetables, fruits, and drinks. I especially love their thin-crust supreme pizza--at about $18, it feeds 3 to 4 people. The deli section is also amazing, with a great variety of options like pasta, steak, tofu, fried or baked chicken, olives, and lots of delicious cheese and salami. There's so much good stuff--you won't walk out empty-handed. I originally had an issue with a burnt pizza before, but thanks to Emma, I got a replacement, which made the experience top-notch. Five stars! read more

I drove all the way to Burien to check out PCC's marketplace. It was about an hour from my home, and there's no PCC community market south of Seattle that I know of. So, I made the trip to get Upton's Traditional Seitan and just explore the store. They have a variety of good options, especially for those who create their own meals and like to use whole-grain ingredients. The store is compact, but it offers a wide variety of products. You can purchase assorted nuts by the ounce, or packaged options. They also have a selection of fruits, vegetables, a hot bar, a deli section, and kombucha. I noticed that many of the brands they carry have fewer ingredients, less artificial flavoring and sugars. I visited this store specifically to purchase seitan, and I ended up buying a couple of packages for $5.29 each, which I find to be a reasonable price. I couldn't find this brand at any other store, but I chose it because it has minimal ingredients, low fat and sodium content, and a generous amount of protein at 2 ounces. Many processed foods have a long list of ingredients and oils, which makes them unhealthy and fatty. As a vegetarian who is trying to eat cleaner, I appreciate this product. I also tried the Brew Doctor kombucha, which usually costs $2.50. However, they have a special offer where you can buy two bottles for a discounted price. The kombucha is very light and refreshing, not overpowering with vinegar or sugar. Overall, it's worth the drive to get this product. I'll definitely be coming back for it and other products in the future. read more

I enjoy visiting this PCC location for a gluten free pastry or snack. I also like their large premade salads. They are perfect for meal prep during the week, just add your favorite protein. The store and bathrooms are clean, the customer service is always friendly. Parking can challenge your patience on the weekend but overall a good store with friendly people. read more

I love that Burien has a PCC market! It makes it so much easier to pick up your Holiday reservation items here, avoiding the hassle of driving all the way to West Seattle or Columbia City, especially during the Holidays when the roads are slick and busy. This store has everything from a bakery to hot foods, pizza bar, meat/butcher counter, bulk food section and a cheese section making it your one stop shop! read more

PCC Community Markets - Burien - My 2025 Holiday reservation for Thanksgiving! - Grocery Near Me - Burien, Washington

This place is nice and produce is usually fresh. Just a lil pricey as expected when shopping somewhat local. Anyways do not ever get the salmon onigiri that they have in the deli. My god that was so bad and there's literally a tablespoon of some dry salmon inside. There was a havarti chicken sandwich that was amazing. The service was nice and pretty fast. read more

If I could, I would shop here regularly - it's pricey for me, especially now that prices have risen everywhere and that's starting to hit home. I love their community involvement, the way they spotlight their employees and their product. The only thing I don't like when I order from here (I order online), and one reason I don't order more, is that they don't carry bottled water, except very high end. I know, plastic sucks :( But the way we go through it, we need something more affordable for our water game. read more

PCC is truly a "Community" market. They offer fresh local, Organic & craft products, from fresh baked goods, cheese to beer & wine! They have a hot food station, Deli, soup & a salad bar. Their pizza's are pretty darn amazing too! Wish they would come further South to Federal Way! read more

I have been back and service is has much better!! I have recovered and have been shopping here a lot more because I need to eat cleaner food! Keep up the great work in offering the best Thanks again read more

PCC Burien is absolutely one of the best Organic COOP grocery stores you can find! Not only is the whole market visually gorgeous, with tables in and out side to picnic on treats, but they have a so many different specialties done very, very well! I love the fresh vegetables, cheeses, olives, fish and meats, bread and crackers (including GF), cards and gifts, bulk spices and dry goods, wine and liquor, milk (including vegan) and butter, and their fresh cooked bar, pizza, salad, rotisserie chicken... it's all so amazing. And the Burien PCC staff are top notch - not only friendly and helpful, but super knowledgeable about any questions you might have. I love Burien PCC!!! It is also conveniently and complementarily located next to a Trader Joe's and nice liquor store, so very easy to complete all your grocery shopping in one stop. Love, Love, Love Burien PCC!!!!!! read more

This is an ok store. It apparently is one of the experimental stores so doesn't have as good of a selection as what I'm used to (West Seattle and Columbia City). It can get a bit crowded especially in the produce and meat areas. It's kept clean and I think they play music, can't remember. Not the good stuff, though, like their neighbor Trader Joe's! read more

I have been to a couple of other PCC locations. This one does seem smaller compared to the Issaquah, Columbia City or Edmonds locations. The store carries quality candle products, one of the few stores that carry 'clean' candles (non-paraffin, non-toxic) aside from Nordstrom (carries organic coconut wax), Target (soy wax but not all are 'clean' candles), and Whole Foods (much more pricey). Candles here range $5-$25 on average for beeswax, palm based candles priced quite decent for the smaller candles. This is also one of the stores that carries healthier alternative to the white rice flour products (brown rice noodles, brown rice paper) in their Asian food aisle. read more

I have been here several times. I searched for white pepper and onion powder this time, but unfortunately it doesn't seem to be there. There were quite a few shelves that were out of stock due to a small selection. The price is also higher than the supermarket. I think it's because it's organic and of good quality, as PCC say. I don't know which one you will choose, but ... I want to understand the current situation and choose. There is a private parking lot nearby for people with physical disabilities, and the floor inside the store is easy to move around. I will come back in anticipation next time. read more

I'm not one who HAS to have organic, natural, non-GMO food so I initially wasn't drawn to PCC but went after receiving a post card with freebies to encourage a visit. I'll admit it: it worked. And I was pleasantly surprised by the variety of items they offer. From fresh-baked breads and rolls to hot food to more varieties of cheese than you can shake a stick at, if you want it PCC probably has it. Most recently I was looking for a head of frisée lettuce (a variation of endive, also referred to as curly endive) and had gone to the usual groceries. No one had it, but PCC did, and at a very reasonable price. I've enjoyed their sockeye salmon in addition to several of the cheeses that we've brought home, but was I especially appreciate is that they have a huge variety of spices IN BULK. If you need a tablespoon of something, you can likely get it there without having to pay $4 for the jar it comes in at FM or QFC. Just pay for the spice and you're money ahead. And not having to buy a full jar of something you might not use that often will help ensure your spices are fresh and full of flavor. The parking lot is a bit difficult to navigate and there's often someone at the exit selling Real Change so have a couple of dollars at hand to help out. But go! See for yourself. read more

I'm so glad they put at PCC here, especially when our West Seattle location was demolished and rebuilt. I especially love that it shares a parking lot with Trader Joes. I can pop into both for all my grocery needs. As a family with food allergies, PCC is great at stocking tons of gluten, dairy and egg free products. Yes, it's pricy. Especially next to TJ's, but they have high standards on products they stock that I love and trust. I love that the kids can "forage" for a free fruit while I shop. I haven't taken a cooking class yet, but they always offer some really neat looking classes and this location has a classroom. I've always been able to find an associate if I have a question or need help. I will say the check out area is always confusing. The flow has changed since covid and opening self checkouts, but I feel like me - and a lot of people - don't quite know where to stand. Do we all stand at the bottleneck by the self checkouts and wait for a lane to open (a lot of people do this), or can we walk up to a lane and stand in line? read more

Great deli section. Fruits and veggies are always fresh. Friendly and helpful customer service!

I always love coming here to get my everyday cooking needs! The grocery store is well kept and maintained. The only problem is that in comparison to the other PCCs i go to, they always seem to lack certain things that other PCCs have. Like we are heavy mushroom eaters and it seems each time we go, they either have lionsmane or they dont. At Bellevue PCC, they always have it. Plus they have much more variety of mushrooms than at the Burien one. For off things that we need at Bellevue vs Burien... this is still a nice place to shop. Healthier options with a high price. read more

My favorite store that I know I know I'll be able to find something to eat as far as deli or even to prepare a meal. My most recent visit I was very pleased to see the updated sweets options having allergy friendly options. If you are looking for holiday pies or any sweets that cater to Specific dietary restrictions this is the place to look. Easy check out options too, self check out. Highly recommend, however this store is generally pricey compared to others. read more

Love this place! I used to work in SeaTac and found myself here regularly. Lately I rarely get out here unless I'm passing through in which case I ALWAYS stop by PCC. This place has lot of variety for vegans and anyone else with food allergies. Their vegan brownies are insanely amazing and so is their vegan pizza! I'm not a vegan but I have a horrendous dairy allergy, so I am dairy free and they have it all in regard to my allergy. Lots of dairy substitutes and alternatives. The deli counter is a must see, the beet salad is so darn good. I can eat an entire container in the blink of an eye. Solid health food store! I wish they had one in Puyallup or anywhere down south. It's not terribly pricey either. It's not nearly as expensive as a Whole Foods or Metropolitan Market. read more

I think this PCC does the following well: 1. Tasty breakfast and hot food deli options. 2. Bakery items are tasty, both non-gluten and gluten free. 3. Variety of items throughout the store that should cater easily to the natural/organic product shopping consumers. 4. The facility is clean and products are clearly marked. Many items I have found out of stock are marked as such on the shelf. Clearly, the store is aware. 5. Outdoor and indoor seating should you just need to have a quick deli lunch/coffee. Its time is limited to I think a half hour. Where this store can significantly improve upon is its customer service because every single time, especially in the mornings, the staff are very curt and clearly unhappy. I've said "hello" and "good morning" and the usual greetings walking in and the staff just blankly or bitterly stare and don't say anything. At times, I've wondered if its racially charged to be frank. The deli staff are pleasant and that's about all I can say about that. For as expensive as PCC is, the store management and the staff need to understand that customer service is part of the job and you're not selling just products but a positive experience to show value to your customers. I have worked in retail, and I get people can be rude or you can be tired but it's not fair to take out frustrations on customers who are blatantly polite or equally treat your customers poorly. Like the store but it needs work in the customer service attitude department hard. read more

I usually come here in the morning for breakfast. Usually it's pretty good but it's hit and miss. One day it's all really good then the next time it looks like crap. No consistency in quality in whomever makes it. This morning the scrambled eggs looked like bright yellow cottage cheese and the country gravy was brown. I reluctantly got the eggs and they were pretty disgusting . Like someone beat the eggs with a hand mixer and put cheese on it . I couldn't eat it . And for how pricy things are here it was a waste of 7$. I didn't even get much and it was 7$. Also I got a cherry scone the other day and it had 1 cherry. Sucks . read more

This PCC has some staff with serious elitist attitudes. When asking workers about different items available, they treated us in a snobby way like a sommelier at a stuffy French restaurant. I'll revisit the review after I try their in-house Taqueria. It looks ok and lady working it was quite nice. Beer selection is larger as one would expect. I wonder how busy this place will be when the PCC on California Ave reopens. == Tried a burrito from their "Taqueria". It was bad. 2-star bad. Beans were undercooked. Rice was so crunchy it seemed dehydrated. Tortilla tastes like it was whole wheat. Barbacoa was OK but had some kind of middle eastern spice to it, which was not welcome. read more

It is a perfectly acceptable grocery store that looks like a Borg cube from the outside. Seriously, this is place sticks out looking nothing like anything nearby and it just doesn't scream inviting. Regardless inside it is a standard PCC with a notable absence of drones. It is very COVID compliant with sneeze shields, masks, and as much social distancing you can enforce in a grocery store. It has a kombucha selection and a good sized deli. Their cheese selection is astounding. I found out cashier to be extremely friendly but no one else in the store was. The lady behind the cheese counter interjected herself in a conversation my friend and I were having regarding cheese to tell us how our experiences were wrong and why. There was no purpose, no insight gained - it truly was unnecessary. But I resisted in saying anything and we just walked away without buying any cheese. My friend found what he was looking for, but I did not. We happened to be in the area, but I can't see myself returning here. read more

What a nice and relaxed atmosphere where the aisles are spread out with double the aisle space, high ceilings, clean, bright natural light coming in where the seating is by the windows where you can easily have breakfast, lunch or dinner from freshly cooked soups, salads and other entrees. This is the Starbucks of grocery stores where you can come and linger a while, it's not a rat race to get in and out with your groceries. I have to say that PCC is working to provide a closer positive customer experience instead of pushing brand names and maximizing throughput in and out of the store. They worked with WABI Burien to provide a bike friendly store with bike racks by the door where you can easily bike to PCC and secure your bike while shopping at PCC and other close by stores. Great job in creating a alternative to Safeway and a complement to Trader Joes. Fantastic that PCC worked with Burien city planning and other organizations to be a great community member and role model for other businesses in Burien. read more

Oh PCC (Burien)! Just take all my money why don't you! It's waaay too expensive hence the 4 stars but it's a great place to find vegan ingredients and processed vegan food that are delish! :) Ambience is great and it always looks clean and produce and products are stored in a neat and orderly manner. I love their blueberry vegan scones! The hot foods are also amazing! They make awesome vegan dishes ranging from mango curry, vegan chili, and assorted veggies etc. Children are able to eat about a cups worth of fruits and veggies for free so that's pretty cool! It's a $60 one time fee to be a PCC member, yes I caved and am now a member. Lol Parking is shared between all the stores including Trader Joe's, some restaurants, Anko etc so it's always full especially between 3-7pm. If you want a lot of packaged free, organic, non-GMO food options then I highly recommend PCC! Happy eating/shopping! read more

Wow, such a nice grocery store!! I seriously think this was my first time in a PCC... They're in the same parking lot as a Trader Joe's, which makes me sad because I LOVE Trader Joe's. PCC is lookin' all fancy and shiny so it makes me wonder how it has been hitting TJ's since their opening. We didn't need anything, we literally just went in to check it out (my boyfriend works in retail upper management so he was interested in seeing how the store looked). The store is SO nice. For those who have been to a PCC, you know it's very reminiscent of a Whole Foods - just a little bit smaller. They've got a salad bars, hot food bars, a taqueria, a pizzeria, and a small dining area to eat all of those goodies if you're looking to come here for a quick lunch or dinner before you do your shopping! All of the products here seem to be local, of high quality, and a little bit more on the expensive side. This PCC made me want to get my life together and starting eating better, but I'm not going to lie to myself - I'll keep going to my nearby Safeway. However, you should do yourselves a favor and just check this place out if you haven't had the pleasure of doing so yet! read more

As soon as I set my eyes on this place I was drawn in! I had actually just followed my GPS from SeaTac, after dropping my hubby and a friend/coworker off, to go to Trader Joe's. But thought I'd go in here before I spent my budget there? Oh boyee, that might have been a mistake, not. I came out with many beverages, some never before seen, some already fond of that were on sale. See pictures added off my phone. It is too bad and at the same time a good thing I do not live near enough to this place to be a regular. What I bought; Rebbl are such high quality, good for you, nutritional, even some what filling and satifying are certainly worth their value of what is usually 4.99 each. At this time these were on sale for 3.13, such a great special! So I think I bought three? Also a beet juice drink I had never seen I got for my co-worker/friend who is a vegan, and a kombucha. So the same price we would pay for hand crafted barista drinks but are where you are when you want them, in fresh sealed non spill containers! The other item they had I had not before seen was a chip brand Hardbite Parsnip Chips. I already love the Terra Root Chips which contain a variety including Parsnip. Unfortunately, they were out of them on that day. Since then, yesterday as a matter of fact at Whole Foods Tacoma, I got some. Good stuff! I did still get my usual staples at Trader Joe's so I do not think, even being right next door, PCC takes any business from TJ's? Let's face it no one can beat TJ's style and economical, competitive prices. read more

Super happy that PCC is in the area! There just aren't enough premium grocery stores in the area and this is such a welcomed addition. Very small store, so the selections can be small based on what they've considered a priority. Very good selection of ready made items (several of which are veggie friendly) also a good selection of bakery items. Throughout the store they have a great selection of vegetarian/vegan centric products, tons of dried goods of various kinds, and a pretty good selection of bagels. Produce department definitely always leaves me wanting more. The quality is usually pretty good, but it's seriously tiny and I find it impossible to make PCC a one stop shop. Cashiers aren't exactly the friendliest people, but they're not openly rude (I find several of them to be standoffish) so it's not that bad. read more

Really good and healthy food ! Really glad it opened up here in Burien. Always has a great variety of soups , salads, yogurts, sandwiches & even pizza! Really clean layout inside the store and has some tables to sit outside when it's nice outside . Their yogurts are a must-have ! Recommend for everyone ! read more

PCC Community Markets - Burien - So Colorful - Grocery Near Me - Burien, Washington

THIS IS A DIRECT ACCOUNT OF MY EXPERIENCE AT PCC MARKET IN BURIEN, WASHINGTON. THIS HAPPENED TO ME WHILE I WAS IN THE STORE. PLEASE BEWARE IF YOU CARE ABOUT CORONAVIRUS AND NOT BEING DISCRIMINATED AGAINST FOR WEARING A MASK AND MISTREATED!! I CANNOT BELIEVE...JUST CANNOT BELIEVE...WHAT I experienced in here. NOT ONLY AM IN BRINGING IT TO THE BETTER BUSINESS BUREAU, BUT I AM GOING TO BE WRITING TO ALL NEWS MEDIA OUTLETS AND WHOEVER ELSE I CAN ABOUT THIS STORE. SOOO...I walk in and I tell the young man who works there outside with the carts...who walked right in front of me...to please stand six feet away from me and I have two immune conditions and that I could die from CORONAVIRUS and he proceeds to GO IN FRONT OF ME!! So, then, I go to a Produce person who comes TOWARDS me when I tell her to stand six feet away from me when I was trying to buy a small drink and go to the bathroom b/c I was commuting and stopped there b/c I had been to three gas stations who would not let me pee and I REALLY had to go. So, when I asked the produce person why nobody was listening when I asked everyone VERY NICELY in the store to stand six feet away, she got an attitude and went to her "Manager" (name started with a "C", but sadly I forgot b/c she was so abusive) and sad I wanted to use the bathroom but I was "rude"....Umm...no, I fear for my life and did not want to be in there b/c I have not gone anywhere for two months, but I needed to pee. So, then the Manager said, passively aggressively (Seattle at its finest): "What can I help you with?" And I said I needed to go the bathroom and I asked her if she was the Store Manager and she said, very rudely with a very rude tone, "Ma'am, all you need to know is that I am the Manager for today." And I said, "But that does NOT answer my question...ARE YOU THE STORE MANAGER?" And she said, "Can you please keep your voice down, ma'am" and I said "No, b/c I was just abused and treated badly and all of your staff would not move six feet away from me when I told them nicely and patiently that I had two immune conditions, but instead, they treated me compassionately" and then she said, "Well, maybe you should not go out!!" WHHHHAAT? I said, "Well, I usually do not and haven't gone out in two months but A.) I badly needed to pee b/c I am traveling and B.) I do not need to qualify or explain anything to you." So, then she said I could not pee, so I laughed and went to the bathroom anyway. I had seen five people starting at me in that deer in the headlights, Seattle way that only these passive aggressive people can do...when I went in and when I walked out, the lady that asked me to keep my voice down (The "Manager") was yelling and showing her true colors. So I said, "Darling, you just messed with the wrong person, b/c I am a Native American activist for 30 years and I am a writer as well and I am going to be telling EVERYONE about what I am experienced here." SO FURTHERMORE...MY REVIEW IS PRETTY EPICALLY IMPORTANT B/C IT HAS TO DO WITH HOW PEOPLE LIKE ME ARE BEING TREATED WITH CORONAVIRUS. THESE PEOPLE ARE DISGUSTING. FRANKLY, ALL OF THESE EMPLOYEES NEED TO BE HELD ACCOUNTABLE AND I WILL MAKE ABSOLUTELY CERTAIN IT HAPPENS. read more

I was at PCC Burien and brought a container to fill with olive oil. My first time doing this. I saw the sign that's said to bring containers to the cashier to be weighed and inspected. I stood in line with my empty container, handed it to the cashier and said I want to fill this with olive oil. He inspected it weighed and wrote the empty weight on the top. Then I returned to the cashier line with my purchases there was another man there who was incredibly rude and kept yelling at me saying we don't sell olive oil this way how many ounces in this jar. I told him I didn't know the weight was on it. He repeated many times we don't sell it this way how many ounces are in this jar? I asked him if he could take a guess (it was actually an empty Trader Joe ginger beer container) he said no they don't sell anything in those containers and if I didn't know how many oz were in it then he would dump the olive oil out. YES in this time of food insecurities he dumped out an entire bottle of organic olive oil. YES in this time of dwindling resources, Rising food costs, awareness of food wastefulness, he arrogantly dumped out perfectly good food. I have seen PCC do so many Politically Incorrect things things this is my last time ever in their store. read more

PCC Community Markets - Burien - A market with a purpose! - Grocery Near Me - Burien, Washington

I LOVE PCC and miss them tremendously since moving out of WA. I was pretty excited, therefore, when I had a chance to visit this (for me) new Burien location so near my beloved Mongolian Grill from my SeaTac days. It's a spacious location with a roomy produce section. Their standard soup and hot food section I recognize with its deli counter is here and they even have a pastry counter featuring goodies from Macrina and elsewhere. At 7 PM the hot section looks more like overheated so I wasn't tempted to take anything with. Plenty of healthy choices in the freezers, refrigerators and pantry aisles. I just... don't remember PCC being quite this expensive. I got a can of wine and it rang up over $7. A quart of hot soup is almost $10. Theo chocolate bars are almost $4 compared to Marlene's for $2.50. I understand that they have to pay their staff, benefits, etc but the prices are probably prohibitive to many. I'd come here if I still worked nearby, but I'd be very very picky about what I chose to take home. read more

Hey PCC ( 8/11/22 ) whatever you had out there for Tomato soup, it ain't. That's Tomato purée Your soup has been lacking of late. The other day chicken and rice soup was messed up too. No more chances am done read more

Super happy to have them open up in the neighborhood but can't understand what the deal is with the employees?? They are either wonderfully helpful and friendly (shoutout to the butcher & cheesemonger!) or terribly rude and annoyed (most everyone else working in this store). If it wasn't for the fancy milk they sell & sometimes treasured cuts of beef - I would do all my shopping at Trader Joe's next door. 2.5 stars really. read more

Cute store. Clean and spacious. First time in there since always passing by. Will continue to come here. They have lots of local and organic goods. read more

I'm bummed about this PCC because I used to live by the one in Greenlake and it is 100 times better! On 3 separate occasions I have bought produce here and when I opened the fridge the next day it was already moldy/rotten. How could that happen in less than 24 hours? They also have a limited selection compared to all their other stores. Some of their staff are very rude and I feel like an inconvenience to them when I ask questions. One guy who was stalking the salad fridge didn't move out of the way so I could grab a salad, even after I asked if I could grab one real quick and be out of his way. Instead I had to stand and wait for him to finish and I eventually just walked away without the salad. One thing I'm glad about is they always have celery and usually fresh Ginger and Turmeric. Especially with the new celery juice fad going on it can be hard to find. read more

The produce and deli have improved significantly since this location opened so I'm updating my review.
