However, it is pricier than regular grocery stores, but it's good for the convenience of having different things in one place since it also has food and drinks.

First off, I had to wait 20 minutes for them to make it, which was already annoying . After finally tasting it, I was disappointed. It was literally just whipped cream and not-so-fresh and hard strawberries stuffed into a soft puff, then drizzled with condensed milk. Nowhere near what it was advertised, and honestly, a huge letdown in both taste and value. After all that waiting, I expected something special, but this was below average at best. Definitely not worth it.

I also get beans, rice, soup, olives, chips, cleaning products & candies all at great prices as well. Definitely a great place to shop!

8/5/2026 - My family and I just had one of the worst customer service experiences we've ever had at…read moreMetropolitan Market in Gig Harbor. When we walked up to the checkout, the cashier and the employee bagging groceries were engaged in a conversation and laughing together. We completely understand that employees interact with one another, but once customers are at the register, they should feel acknowledged. Unfortunately, neither employee looked up, smiled, greeted us, or said a single word during the transaction. The only thing the cashier said was while handing me the receipt, and it was so quiet I couldn't even understand what was said. The lack of even basic acknowledgment made us feel like an interruption rather than valued customers. Metropolitan Market has always had a reputation for exceptional service, which is why this experience was so surprising and disappointing. I hope this was simply an isolated incident, but it's something management should be aware of.

Hey that is highly suspect if you're from South India then you know. They also had palak paneer, freshly made which would be served with rice. I thought the paneer samosa ($5) and the regular potato masala samosa ($3) were very good. Served with a smidgen of tamarind sauce. Lovely little tables set up outside to eat al fresco. The mediocre rating is because the selection of Indian groceries is sparse for the shelf space. The tea selection was low, and the snacks range was limited. On the other hand, the frozen chapatis were remarkably on-point with the right mix of naan/roti/chapati variations (including ajwain and methi rotis). If looking for standard Indian kitchen pantry, it's got all the bases covered. Yes, mango and lime pickles! The fresh vegetables section was neatly arranged and included curry leaves. It was a thoughtful curation, yet it left me wanting because it didn't have the full gamut of teas and options. They could easily cram more selection/stock/inventory in the space they have. It seemed like an upgraded corner store, and if I lived in this neighborhood I would LOVE to have this store with its Indian pantry staples in walking distance. It's a gift! I come all the way from Bainbridge Island to this store and I consider it awesome that I can get from the ferry to here on one bus and get my Indian staples!

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
