Metropolitan Market Uptown

The Best Grocery Store EVER!. I first found out about Metropolitan Market when I started working in lower Queen Anne area around 2.5 years ago. And I've been shopping there ever since. Never had a bad customer service experience. I love this place! My friends say that I could actually live there if I could! Here are some of the reasons I love this place:

- Top-quality food, fresh, best-tasting produce.

- Unique, rare to find items that you can't find in other grocery stores (ex. Jason toothpaste, honey greek yogurt, locally made hand creams, cool wine accessories, funky lunch bags, etc.)

- Great, friendly and knowledgable staff. This store is definetly an upscale one but their staff and atmosphere never makes you feel like that.

- Coffee shop and desserts.

- Gelatiamo gelato (which is the best, in my opinion).

- Amazing selectin of cheeses and meats (Serrano ham is delicious).

- Free samples of cheeses and meats (which actually helped me in making purchasing decisions).

- One time during their store celebration/expo I was struggling with my 2 full bags of groceries; store director noticed that and helped me carry them downstairs. A store director?! wow..I thought that was so nice and thoughtful.

One thing that I am not too thrilled about is their prices...Their stuff is pretty pricey. But I know this will not stop me. ;-)

I think I could be their Development/Advertising agent after this review... ;-)…
