    This small, Mediterranean market has a large variety of everything from olive oils, to cookbooks and everything in between. I went with a very small list of Lebanese foods/spices and was happy that I was able to get everything. So many Mediterranean countries are represented in this small store, and I will eagerly come back to try more items.

    Really helpful selection of Mediterranean ingredients. Owners are nice, baklava they sometimes get is bomb.

    Had to take a star away. What I thought were fresh Kaffir lime leaves turned out to be Chinese…read morebroccoli which I only realized after taking them out of the bag. The problem was that the bags were right behind an incorrect sign on the refrigeration case. I hadn't bought Kaffir lime leaves in years, the last time they were packaged dried in the bag. I just figured this time that perhaps the leaves were being sold fresh now. At least the Chinese Long Beans actually were Chinese Long Beans.

    This was my favorite Asian grocery in Kitsap county and the only one I shopped at. But last week…read morewhile picking up some fried chili crisp, the bottle was stacked so tightly in-between a row of two other products, I accidentally knocked a jar over. And in a move to save the jar I quickly moved my basket under the falling jar to catch it to stop it from breaking in the floor. Unfortunately, the quick motion of my basket caused a bottle of banana ketchup to be knocked off a lower shelf and break in the floor. Upon, checkout I was made to pay for the bottle that broke. Okay, I get it you're a small business and every penny counts, and I average over $100 of my grocery budget there every month. But from a customer service standpoint to make me pay for accidentally knocking a bottle to the floor? Sure you saved $2.69. But once again from a customer service pov, did you save $2.69 OR did you LOSE over $1200 a year in patronage, because I'm never coming back. There's other Asian groceries in the area that I can get all the same things I get at your store.

The best finds were Indomie noodles and perilla oil for way cheaper than on amazon. The last time I bought a bottle of perilla oil on amazon, I spent over $25 for it.

No MSG or any powdered garlic/onion but real stuffs. Go make the best kimchi tacos or kimchi fried rice. All of his side dishes are homemade, too, and delicious. Guilt free as well. The store might seem small but they carry all the basics for Korean and many other Asian cooking. Lots of Korean snacks, too! He brings different produces each time I go, so it's always fun to go there. The owner is super sweet and friendly. He sometimes tells you what the freshest/hottest items he just brought in the store are but never pushes you to buy anything. He was even concerned the bill came out too high last time I was there going a little crazy lol For Korean items especially, this store has the best price among all other Asian markets in the area. If you don't find something that you want, call him on Thursday/Friday. He will find it and bring it when he goes out to Tacoma to his suppliers. I can't wait to get another jar of his kimchi!

    Yay! We have a T&T in Lynnwood. We became a fan of T&T when we stayed in Vancouver. Our main…read moreattraction was the hot food buffet station since shopping here always meant, yummy food at the end. My 5 year old really enjoys many of their hot food staples. The T&T in Lynnwood doesn't disappoint at all. While it is smaller than the Factoria location, we do not personally have any complaints. The place is not always packed like the Factoria location and that is a a relief. We primarily use the food & bakery sections, live fish, and frozen food sections. One can say they are a bit pricier in comparison to places like Ranch Market who have similar options but we T&T is closer to us than Ranch Market and so we prefer to go here as it is more convenient. They are special items during Boat Festival every year and we absolutely love the bun station during this time. This is also a great place to experiment with a lot of not usually found Asian alcohol in main stream supermarkets unless you are specially going to a specialty shop.

It is located…read morein a former Sprouts store on a corner with a Safeway and Trader Joe's across the street. The Bellevue location is larger and that is evident when I checked the offerings here. There is not as much store space, so there is less selection of everything. I found the aisles to be cramped compared to Bellevue. Even when the Bellevue store is packed, I can meander around the crowds. It felt like a maze at this one on a busy weekend afternoon. There is a 99 Ranch nearby in Edmonds and I do prefer it over this T&T based on selection and price. If you do live close to Lynnwood, I do think it is worth shopping at for the T&T private label products and items that T&T carries that 99 does not. But I am going to stick with shopping at the Bellevue location because it is superior to this one.

After making a trek to another Eastern European market down in Tacoma the day before, now it was time to visit European Grocery in Everett on 3/2/25. Pro tip: Don't be intimidated by the stoic, standoffish staff at the deli counter or the register. Enjoy the culinary experience wandering their grocery aisles and remember your shopping bag(s) to package up your purchases. Because I had also stocked up at the other market in Tacoma, I noticed similarities in the product availability. However, I was able to find other things of interest especially in the smoked meats, condiments, chocolates, and biscuits areas. I enjoyed looking closely at their wine and spirits section...unique labels I would not find at my usual Ravenna wine shop in Seattle. Thanks to Heather, fellow Yelp Elite, for putting European Grocery on my radar screen!

    European staff at grocery stores have been given a bad reputation online (mainly TikTok). So many…read morepeople who have access to European groceries have said the staff are rude, they don't let you record or take pictures & often have a staring problem. My family and I have not experienced anything close to that at this store. Both the men and women were very helpful, let me admire their produce and culture (even let me take pictures and videos) & eagerly answered the few questions I did have. We had such an enjoyable experience that we came back the next day to buy more food & sweet treats. In regard to the ambiance, this grocery store isn't the biggest by any means. It's about the size of a NY bodega/convenience store, so don't expect to be able to find any and everything you usually can at other places. However their produce is fresh & all the meat, cheese and dessert products we have tried were all very good (certainly much healthier than the preservative and filler packed foods you'll find at your local WalMart, QFC, etc). I thoroughly enjoyed my first European market experience & can't wait to come back, as well as visit other stores.
