Metropolitan Market

Ok come here for their cookie. Whether you're here to grocery shop or just want their cookie, IT'S WORTH. Probably the best cookie I've had in my life. The cookie is dense, REALLY HEFTY. It reminds me a lot of the popular Levain cookies you find in New York. It is chunky, chewy, soft, all at the same time. I don't know how they do it. It's filled with ooey gooey chocolate chips, crunchy walnuts, and a pinch of salt ; a perfect balance of sweet and salty. I hope I convinced you (*:

Metropolitan Market is like a Whole Foods except really local. You can literally walk to it as there are many houses and a bus stop right by it. Convenience is likely a bringer of the customers here as well as those whose wallets have a bit of bulge. Temporarily staying here really drove home the convenience if food or beer was needed. What gets me though is Metro's competitors - QFC, Safeway etc. are just plain cheaper, even when things aren't on sale at those stores, they're still cheaper than Metro. It's no secret. I'm pretty frugal when it comes to grocery shopping and don't like to use excess cash for everyday needs so seeing these prices as I go up and down the aisles just froze me.Speaking of aisles I found them to be rather cramped, which isn't only unique to here but, this is a nice looking and sizable store so this hurts it. Also the cart return isn't great here unless I missed something.To it's credit, the staff seem really nice and the florist department looks good and they have other little perks for example, you can take specific amounts of eggs that come from a local farm in case you don't want a full or even a half a dozen.Still though, unless you have a penchant for the posh I'd stick to the everyday supermarkets unless there something specific calling you here.

Not your regular grocery store. It's more like Whole Food or Sprouts. They sell higher end goods. But the bakery is amazing. Love love their in house baked gourmet chocolate cookies. One of the best grocery made cookies. We loved so much the we bought extra to bring back to Vegas and froze it.

It's hard to believe, but Metropolitan Market manages to stand out among Seattle's bougiest supermarkets. It manages to out-bougie Whole Foods and Town & Country, which is no small feat.What's disappointing is how incredibly brusque the morning coffee bar workers are at this particular location. Today, for example, I managed to greet, purchase and pay for my items this morning, all without eliciting a single word from the sales associate. No "good morning", no "thank you"--nothing. I've gotten my AM pastry from this location for years, and the coffee bar associates never fail to astound me with their consistently disdainful demeanor. They truly seem to hate their job, or hate the customers--or both. And in case readers want to flame me for picking on the coffee bar associates, the Metropolitan Market cashiers are, by comparison, incredibly efficient, warm and perky at 7:15 in the morning. So no, I'm not just picking on this location's service staff in general. ;-)

15/10. Beautifully laid out store. Also, the first place in Seattle I've found Wisconsin aged ched. When I saw that sweet sweet Carr Valley 4 year aged I realized my mental health is much more tied up in cheese than I initially thought. Wandered the sailed for far too long, and what was initially a quick milk run turned into a full on shopping trip. Walked out with what amounted to $100 of dairy, bread, and a cute coffee mug. Possibly a #1 retail therapy spot for me. Can't wait to come back.

Love their cookies there!!! I feel like that is the only reason why I go to Met Market for. The grocery there is alright but not my thing. Their cookie is huge and freshly made every day. Make sure to grab a milk and pair it with the cookie. Eat it on site as well!!! :)

Great grocery store fresh produce and fish an anchor of the neighborhood that makes it a nice place to be

I never thought I'd be told i needed a cookie in Seattle. On Sunday afternoon the bartender at Atlas Sports across the street gave me a bite of hers and i needed my own.Service was quick and i only missed a few minutes of the game running over between commercials. The baker let me know it's chocolate chip and walnut and not just chocolate chip which first discouraged me but it was amazing!Cookies were sitting on a hot pan so no worry of having to eat one not freshly hot and made. This cookie is rich in chocolate, so rich the bartender told me she needs to take breaks to finish it. It's also huge and a meal in itself.The stomach ache after having that and lunch was definitely worth it. I regret not bringing a few back to California but this place is saved for when i come back

Ordered an 8 oz prime rib sandwich and counter worker just cut off giant chunks of fat and piled them on my bread. This was $18 and had to do surgery on my sando and throw a bunch out for it to be edible. Not the first time this has happened but will be the last.

It's still hit and miss at this store. The floral employees, as always, are delightful. Why so patronizing and rude to shoppers at the self check out? I don't appreciate the blonde employee who comes over, unasked, whenever she perceives someone is hesitating. Generally, that's a woman over age 50, whom she seems to assume is experiencing senility. I try to tell this employee that I'll ring my flower purchase up separately, at the floral department (the prices vary, and the cashiers don't always know what they are.) And she insists that she can do it for me. I try to tell her that I feel her behavior makes me feel patronized. Then she starts to yell. Literally, shouting! You can hear her all over the store! Which really proves my point, I think!. Why does Metropolitan Market tolerate this? Very unseemly behavior on the part of a few of their employees, at a high end grocery store.
