But when I want something special, this is the place. Christmas Eve at our house usually involves crab cakes and salad, scallops and white wine, crusty bread, etc. This is where we fill the cart. We haven't quite lived up to the Italian tradition of the feast of the seven fishes; I usually manage four or five fishes, but this is where we get them. This year the menu was shrimp bisque, shrimp cocktail, crab cakes and scallops. Plus a few Fran's salted caramels as a stocking stuffer. No photos this time. You have to use your imagination.

Customer service is also very friendly and helpful.

I've had enough experiences at this QFC to say with confidence: something isn't right…read more On multiple occasions, I've been followed, watched, and treated with blatant suspicion by staff--first a manager, then recently a security guard and others. I wasn't loud. I wasn't disruptive. I was just shopping. But from the moment I walked in, it was clear I was being stereotyped. The energy? Off. The respect? Absent. I do my best to stay calm and collected, but being profiled like that--humiliated without cause--can push anyone to their limits. It nearly did. And that's what I'm trying to avoid. I'm not writing this to stir drama. I'm writing this because everyone deserves to be treated with basic human dignity, regardless of how they look, talk, or dress. If you're serious about serving the community, QFC, you need to take this seriously. Your staff need training--not just on customer service, but on bias, respect, and how to de-escalate, not provoke. Until then, I can't recommend this location. I walked in for groceries, not judgment. NO STARS if applicable

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

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!

Parking is plentiful and easy. And the location is right on a busy stretch of NE 85th Street that is close to I-405. The customer service was great. I had mistakenly picked up the wrong box of berries that were not on sale and told the self-checkout clerk that I would run back to the produce area to grab the right ones. When I came back, the clerk offered to ring my groceries up herself. I really appreciate how she went above and beyond. Little gestures like this help to rebuild customer loyalty.

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.

Will probably be back for their sushi and sashimi special as well.

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.

When someone finally showed up, they made direct eye contact with me without any acknowledgment whatsoever and just started stretching dough. When I walked over to them and asked if this is where I put in a pizza order, the rude response was, "I guess I can do that" but just awkwardly stood there continuing to stretch pizza dough. When I finally asked, "Are you ready?" he said, "well I was.." Then proceeded to get the order completely wrong (at no point did I say I wanted broccoli on my pizza - pretty sure I'd remember that, and I can't imagine anything that even sounds like broccoli that someone would want on a pizza). I would've just picked up some pizza slices if they hadn't looked sad and dehydrated from sitting under the heat lamp all day. There were about 5 other customers waiting in the deli area also needing help, with no one to be found. 2. Twice, I've attempted to pick up an online order, and each time the designated pickup spots have had a vehicle parked with no one inside them. This wouldn't be that big of a deal if the parking lot wasn't a complete DISASTER. 3. Look, I'm a dog lover, but really the last straw was the entitled customer whose dog peed on the floor in the grocery aisle as she meandered through the store. Not one employee even noticed, and this dog wore no service vest. Never mind the outrageously high prices at this store, the customer service is either rude or non existent. I absolutely recommend going to a different WF store.
