Metropolitan Market

Not really getting the hype for this marketplace - it's just ok. Very pricey. Had to wait in a long line just to even place an order at the counter and then had to wait in another long line to pay at the register, just for this deli sandwich. Parking seemed alright - but not sure I'll be coming here too often.

I came here a few time to grab some lunch during my work lunch break in the afternoon, and they seem to always be running low on their hot table items. On my last visit, I decided to get from the poké bar, and it's a bit pricey; it was $10 for my small container. I got the poké shrimp, and when I sat at my desk to eat it, I couldn't enjoy it. The shrimp was still frozen. I was pretty disappointed with my lunch and probably won't care to get from the poké bar again. I guess I'll stick to their "The Cookie."

Love their bakery here. Definitely need to try "The Cookie" lol super good. Plenty of other sweets here as well.

Love their bakery and deli The buttermilk dinner roll tray is delicious The garlic bread smells so good after toasting it in the ovenStaff is very friendly

Love this store, the produce is always fresh and so are the meats, love the variety of items I can find here!

The deli is horrible. The Fried chicken used in the sandwich is sawdust dry. Not even the huge amount of mayo that they put in the sandwich can not even help.

I know you fu**ing lying. No cheese, dry, overcooked pasta! What y'all do to the recipe?

I was waiting in line at the cash register. The customer in front of me was an Instacart shopper. I noticed he had a large order. Politely, he mentioned to me that it would take a while. He was well-spoken. I could not say the same about the cashier. She did not greet him with a friendly smile, nor did she bid him farewell when the transaction was over. He offered to lift the heavy items from the cart so she could scan without effort. Yet, any gesture of kindness from him was met with a cold stare from the cashier's face. When my turn to checkout had come, the coldness from her face melted into warmth. Rita greeted me with a welcoming smile. Cashiers have failed to understand that Instacart shoppers are also customers. Many are part-time shoppers and part-time customers. The two are not mutually exclusive. They are vital at bringing income to the store and delivering groceries to customers who are young and old, healthy and sick. The disparity in how they are treated at the store is no less than discrimination.It's precisely the behavior of these cashiers that customers no longer want to shop at the store. Online shopping is the future.I look forward to automation.

I have no idea what it is about this place, but it is my addiction. I love going here, growing up my mom always drove me by and I would ask her why we never went. I'm still not sure why we never came but now it's our go to shopping destination multiple times a week. The thing I really like about Metropolitan Market is their wide selection, unlike other stores either serving more natural, organic products or fake, cheap ones, this Market serves a wide selection of both. Making it easier to be able to just come to one store insetad of multiple for different products. All of the products here are amazing to, all local fresh produce, selling Seattle local brands and products. And dont get me started on their goods, I am actually addicted to their cold pasta bar I can't even say how many bowls I've eaten. They also have multiple sections of fresh food stations with a sushi bar, hot bar, salad bar, pasta bar, bakery, sandwich section, and even gelato from Gelatimo in Seattle! All of their food made there, like I sad is amazing and if you get a chance to visit definitely invest in their "The cookie" or one of their amazing pastries/cakes. I can't express how much I love Metropolitan Market enough, my only warning being don't get addicted to the pasta salad!!

Easily one of my favorite market places overall - i'm glad theres one close by to my work place as I used to live by the Sammamish location and miss going there since my move.MM is definitely an 'upper echelon' type market. fresh fruits, veggies, high quality produce and foods are offered. But one of there best kept secrets is the quality of their bakery and hot foods/deli area. Always phenomenal soups, sandwiches, salad bar and (some locations even have poke, and ethinic eats.The pricing here is indeed higher than your standard neighborhood grocery store but it's all reflected in the quality of the items offered. Everyone that i've encountered there, shoppers and employees alike are all very nice and helpful. The store is always clean and it rarely if ever feels hectic. My only gripe if i had to pick one is the lot is pretty tight and can get hectic on busy days. But that's just a personal problem because i drive a giant truck lol
