I was treated very poorly today. I actually left crying. I am unable to wear a mask, due to a health condition that has a need for an ambulance to come because of the side affects I have.I had 7employees come up to me offering me a mask.Comments I received were:Put this mask on! I told him I have a medical condition and he told me, Seriously! What? I told him why I cant wear it and Ill need an ambulance if I do wear it the employee said we can call an ambulance now put it on! I just walked away.Another employee was on the same aisle as me grabbed a mask out of the box and put it in my hand. He said get out, you dont belong here! I told him I have a medical condition he said not my problemAnother employee said whats your excuse? I told him medical condition. he says what is it? Being that I told him why he shrugged his shoulders said ya right!! And stomped awayThese are just a few employees, there were more just not putting experience I had with them.Thing is I told every employee that I will put a mask on,and theyll just need to stay with me. EACH AND EVERYONE SAID NO. (in a disheartening way).I walked home, and due to the extreme stress level I had, I had a seizure. I have epilepsy. I received an ambulance. I was taken to the ER. Now, 9 hours since having my seizure Im released,and writing this comment.NEVER,have I ever left a grocery store crying!(btw,whenever a person is near I always face the shelves if on an aisle or give a big amount of space ).

For high end groceries - this is your place. Beautiful produce display. For everyday shopping, its too expensive for me. Sign up for their coupons. You can get some great deals. Cooking and household goods downstairs are best quality. Helpful staff.

Easily one of my favorite grocery stores. Check out the basement store for some great culinary tool gems.Some of my favorites from the deli are their made-to-order pastas and their prime rib and mash potatoes.The sushi is pretty good, too. The guy who makes it is super friendly and always smiling.

Long term staffing issues with this market are causing a sore lack of service and reliability. On multiple occasions I have gone into this store for a certain item and have been told that they dont have that today because of being short staffed.On this occasion I was goin in to get some bakery items to celebrate turning 40 with my coworkers. I was relying on them as they make some great items but this time the bakery was in total disarray and I was told that no bakery items were available for the day because of staffing. Sadly because I was relying on their service it put a big dent in that plan.It is beyond me how a supposedly high end grocery store could be so poorly managed as to need to shut down an entire department because of staffing.I am no longer going to depend on the reliability of this store and I would suggest the same to anyone going there.

I typically come here for coffee and baked goodies. The last time I was here, I was in search of a house warming gift, I asked an employee if they had any candles in the store. I was pleasantly surprised when he suggested heading downstairs to the home store. There was a good selection of great scented candles. I picked one out and went to pay for it, i asked the associate if she could wrap it up. What took a bit of time, I was even more surprised to be handed a neatly wrapped present with a huge bow on it! I wasnt expecting much in a way of gift wrapping and thought it would be in tissue paper and placed into a paper bag. This really gave me all the feels and I was even more excited to give it to my friend! Thank you Emily for your beautiful wrapping! It was very much appreciated!

The number one choice of local and premiere food and produce of all the stores. Plus they pay their staff livable wages and fair benefits. They once had an actual Pink 🍍 pineapple. Those are like $60 online from Dole farms in Costa Rica.

My favorite supermarket in Kirkland. Yes you pay more for everything...but in return you get a more diverse selection of high quality products. The fruits and vegetables are fantastic and the butcher can do nearly any kind of cut with almost any kind of meat. The also have a great selection of local salmon, halibut and crab as well as other fish. My favorite part of the store is the prepared food section. They have soups, sandwiches, and entrees. They also have an impressive salad bar and poke bar and much more. It is a very impressive store.

Simply the best quality food and specialty Grocery items available in my area. This is a special occasion trip for me, otherwise I wouldnt be able to keep my grocery bill within budget. 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 havent quite built up to the Italian tradition of the feast of the seven fishes; I usually manage only four fishes, but his is where we get them.This year the menu was shrimp bisque, shrimp cocktail, crab cakes and scallops. Plus a few Frans salted caramels as a stocking stuffer. No photos this time. You have to use your imagination.

High-end market with friendly staff and an awesome bakery! I recommend the toffee, the giant cookie (grab a bottle of milk from the grocery store to go with it), and the strawberry croissant. There is a seating area where you can enjoy your spoils

You’re my local store. You’re a store I want to shop at yet every time I go there I have a bad experience with your employees. Last night I stopped to get two sandwiches at the deli counter. The guy behind the counter was horrible. The food was horrible. It was expensive and horrible. You’re convenient but the combination of a bad attitude from an employee and bad food will stop me from ever coming back.

Im mostly reviewing the cafe at this Met which I always grab a caffeinated beverage at before heading down the street to see theatre at the Rep. They always have one staff member working hard but create solid fancy drinks and of course they have their famous THE COOKIE. I dont like sweets but they make those cookies fresh daily and they look so dang delicious displayed in the window that even I have been tempted a time or two 😂.

This place is very expensive but also carried higher quality foods. If you are willing to pay for healthier, or more items with more simple ingredients, it can be worth it to come here. I usually only come here for very particular thing, like the organic soda, or acme ice cream. All of the organic soda flavors are quite good. I especially enjoy the clementine flavor.

Visited at the suggestion of a friend as its advertised as a 24 hour grocery store. Unfortunately, both times Ive tried to visit (roughly around 1:00 AM) theyve been closed for an unforeseen staffing incident. I was willing to make the trek out twice but dont think Ill bother again in the near future. Being closed without warning once in a while is fine, obviously, but more than once in such a short time means problems.

CUSTOMERS BEWARE-got some Rainier cherries and the box was less than half full- the box has a high bottom and there were cherries only on the top. I think the presentation is intentionally misleading because at first glance you get the impression that the box is full.PRETTY DISAPPOINTING.I gave a 2 stars review only because the quality of the food in the supermarket seems good.

The best grocery store I have ever been to in my entire life (as of this time).The customer service, the extensive selection of goods, and the quality of goods...wow!In the produce section, you literally have employees that are shucking vegetables to ensure none of the vegetables/fruits are spoiled or browned. Everything is super fresh here!All the products are neatly lined on the shelves like someone has grocery-OCD.They literally have EVERYTHING; its not limited like Whole Foods. They have products at every single price points. They have coffee brewing tools, a huge variety of spices, etc. They even have a kitchen tools section selling really expensive Japanese knives, Peugeot pepper grinders, and Le Creusets.The prices arent all bad either; I think Whole Foods is more expensive. Everything is clean here as well! All they need is offer a delivery service and I will give my first-born to them.Also, the cookie. THE COOKIE. You cant stop by this place without getting this.Visit this place for all your grocery needs. Best ever!

My favorite spot in the neighborhood.

This is the best grocery store in Kirkland for specialty items. I don’t live in this neighborhood but will go out of my way for the baking section alone; it’s fabulous.Check out the kitchen store below the bakery.Yes the cookie is worth it. Share with a friend or loved one. And make sure you have something to drink!

Best high end grocery store in town in terms of quality and customer service.The seafood and floral are the BEST in town and my must buy there. Seafood are top quality, super satisfied with their Kusshi oyster (super fresh, hard to find except in high end restaurants!).Floral designs are always tasteful with unique flowers.This store always carries nice European cookies and candies as well as fine local flour.If you plan to get high quality grocery, this is absolutely the store to go!

Met Market is a high end grocery store - excellent quality with prices to match. Its unlikely you will find a deal unless its a super sale item of the week. People come for the reliable food quality, service, hot, cold food bars. They have an eating area and a kitchen goods area downstairs. Go get a The Cookie when you desire a treat. Its possibly their most famous item. I also order my Thanksgiving turkey from them. Hey, its only once a year, right? Might as well as make it count. Plenty of parking in a strip mall like area.

This market is lovely. The produce outside looks fresh. The bakery and meat/seafood butcher have high quality selections and items from local areas.The rest of the store has unique supermarket items for any food you can imagine and caters to vegan/veggie friendly diets.The staff is super friendly and helpful and the wine manager describes wine in excellent fashion.

They have pretty great food for the most part. Yes, it is expensive, but its hard not to go here for lunch. Lots of options. Their produce, meat and other groceries are good quality, but yes you will spend more money. I work close by and its hard to go elsewhere because if you want a good quality sandwich, a pretty extensive salad bar, sushi, soups, etc., its all here.

I want to like this place way more than I do. The staff is awesome and I really like their coffee, but that’s about it. It’s very pricey. I’ve been twice to get dinner from the hot deli and twice I’ve been disappointed. I don’t know why but I guess I assumed for the price the food would be high quality, maybe even small batch made. That is not the case. The fried chicken is so dry, the Thai wings are flavorless, the prime rib is tough, the quinoa is bland. The greatest disappointment though was the cake from the deli. I haven’t seen a hummingbird cake West of the Mississippi ever, so I was excited to try it. Well it was just sugary boxed allspice cake, which is NOT hummingbird cake. I’d rather they didn’t sell it all. Anyways I only go for their chocolate chip cookie and coffee. Everything else is such a disappointment.

Review №79

Look - my visit here was brief, but I have never wanted so badly to return to a grocery store a second time. The produce was GORGEOUS and much of it was packed in cardboard rather than plastic (berries for instance). I liked that a lot. Got some beautiful rhubarb here, and walked around a tiny bit. Looks like the lower level has kitchen gadgets and there is an espresso bar on the main floor as well. Floral department was not huge but the flowers looked a very nice quality. AND there were tons of non food goodies in end caps and such, which makes it a great place to find a unique gift. I saw lots of cool stuff but couldnt really take a leisurely stroll through the store as i would have liked. I plan to return and will update my review. It is very possible this grocery store is a gateway to heaven....

As a treat for my husband tonight, I bought the classic chicken pot pie in the glass ramiken for dinner. We’ve had them before, but not for over a year or more. What a disappointment! They are not at all the same as we had enjoyed in the past. They were 1/2 full, the crust was super hard and encrusted with thick salt. The small amount of chicken included lots of gristle. There were many chunks of potato but no other veggies at all. For $7.99, this is not a cheap pot pie and makes us wonder what has happened to metro market standards?

Staff here is always really friendly and willing to help. They do a great job of keeping the aisles clean and organized. I tend to come here to grab a small soup and one of the premade sandwiches. If the line is long in the deli you can usually jump over to the espresso bar or go to the main check out and get out of there much faster.
