56th Street Market

This was a pleasant find and it ain't no regular mini market.When I first stepped inside, at first it did feel like just another mini mart with the usual junk snacks, mainstream beverages, and basic auto & household stuff. But just a look here, a glance there and you'll notice things that aren't common. My nifty find among their decent selection of regular and vegan goods was a Himalayan pink salt shaker (usually mini marts _might_ have a processed table salt or few). And then just when I thought I was ready to head out, the sweet timing of eavesdropping worked perfectly. I'd overheard a nice conversation the next aisle over with a customer and owner that mentioned a chai(!). Apparently, they serve chai on Fridays for customers?! Suh-weet! Unfortunately, while I'm sure it's probably really good, I stopped drinking milk from animals. If you try it, let me know how it is! They seem like wonderful people, as well.Just a hop, skip away from Mighty-O Donuts nearby; 2 trips in one, yes?

This is a neighborhood institution. The owners are absolutely wonderful people and they love all the dogs in the neighborhood who are welcome to enter the store and get a milkbone. And this is not your run of the mill grocery store. You can snag fruits and veggies here and they have a lotnof organic and ethnic foods as well. And if course, a great selection of beer and wine. We find ourselves in here several times a week and I'll even pop in and buy something I don't need just so my pup can get a bone.

I love these guys! So glad they are in the neighborhood, have everything you need in a pinch, even hot cocoa during snowmageddon. Thanks!!!

Wonderful people. They have everything you need in the corner store. The ice cream sandwiches are worth the nightly walk.

OM GOODNESS !!! Organic and/or local food stuffs and delightful people, both customers and owners... Will be back and spread the word...

I have reviewed these guys before because they're so nice and their store has everything! Just dropping by to share this:https://www.instagram.com/tv/CVlCdrGD5Yn/?utm_source=ig_web_button_share_sheet

Really nice corner store! Very clean, wide aisles, solid selection, staff is kind. Everything I've bought so far has been before expiration date (which wasn't the case at the corner store in my old neighborhood)

Everything everyone else said! All kinds of amazing stuff in here! Food and household basics, plus new things to try. The ice cream truck can be hard to chase down, but there are plenty of cold treats in here. No shoes, no problem - my Yelp profile picture was taken here. Actually, these days you can shop barefoot at any large or small convenience store or grocery store in Seattle without any trouble (except for just one which I reviewed awhile ago). I'm not sure why grocery stores have become more accepting of this during the last 10 years or so, but it seems to have happened. Shortly after this market opened in my neighborhood, the owners complimented me and several barefoot kids I had with me on our healthy choice to go barefoot. Typical of the kind and friendly way they always treat customers

Went here a couple days ago and they had a great selection and friendly staff, but their Covid protocols are very loose given the current indoor mask mandate in place. The man working was not wearing a mask about 90% of the time while walking around the store. Maybe outside of Covid times I would return as it seems like a nice place.

The family who own this store are so kind and wonderful! The store is always clean, well stocked, and the prices are very reasonable for a corner market. They are always friendly & offer my dog a treat. My son likes to stop by after school sometimes for a yummy treat. It would be super if the a-holes who keep vandalizing this place could move on, as they definitely don't deserve it.
