This place is the best! The staff is super helpful and they have a really wide selection-it's rare to find berries that juicy in the spring! I had a blast walking around and feel like the selection was far superior to a grocery store. It was farmers market quality at grocery prices. I stocked up and found checkout to be really simple and easy. I loved that they also had flowers and plants and the parking wasn't bad. I can't wait to go back!

For the seven months we have lived in Seattle, Frank's Produce at the Market has been our "go to" for fruits and vegetables. But my Wisconsin roots "main man" at Frank's decided to move on, and I chose Top Banana as maybe an alternative for my fruits and vegetables fix. While the produce was okay at Top Banana, not as good as Frank's but cheaper, the staff reminded me of the border guards when I was a student visiting Czechoslovakia in 1970. I tried to ask questions, and they looked at me with utter dismay. It was rather apparent I wasn't welcome for some reason. I had just showered, brushed and flossed my teeth, wore my mask, but the staff was not into helping me. I was spoiled down at Frank's. At Top Banana, I felt like I was back in Kentucky and Utah; "a stranger in a strange land." It was creepy.I may return to Top Banana, but this time I won't shower or brush my teeth. Maybe they'll treat me better. This was more then a Seattle freeze. In fact, they were the least accommodating people I have met since I moved to Seattle. Weird. I guess I won't return to Top Banana. No one should be treated the way I was. It's not human or humane. A little warmth and compassion goes a long way to creating an empathetic world.

This place hasn't changed much since I went to school across the street. The produce is great and they also have a ton of other things so you don't have to make a full on grocery store run. Plus support for local businesses is excellent!!

Best produce in the Ballard area! Everything they sell tastes a thousand times better than what you buy at the grocery store. They have a special place in my heart because they have some Hispanic goods like tamales or salsa Tampico that I don't have to go to the Mexican market for if I'm short on time. It's really well organized so you'll find everything you need and spend no more than 15 minutes shopping. Checkout is super quick and their prices are a bargain! It's definitely worth making a specific produce run for the quality you get.

Best spot for tasty, affordable produce. They also have a small but high-quality selection of dairy (ZOI yogurt, Ellenos yogurt, various cheeses and milk). Prices are great, parking is convenient, and service is always friendly.

Great place to buy a variety of fresh vegetables and fruit, a lot of it local, at reasonable prices when compared to big box stores.

These guys have the best price on single La Michoacana ice cream bars - $1.75 - but I was disappointed by them today.The discount bananas were totally brown except 3 small ones. There was a box of past-their-prime bananas under the table, so I asked the girl working, and was told they were not discounted yet. I looked through the brown ones again, then went up to pay.I mentioned the box of not great bananas I had seen, and that these 3 were the only edible few in the whole brown bunch. He told me the box were not quite bad enough to discount, same as the girl had said.I don't know whether to go back tomorrow to look again, or never return due to the stupid policy. Do you really want to make your customers work that hard to save a few cents? I guess you could say the same about me, but they're the business, me, the customer.Who's ever heard of 3 categories of deteriorating produce? If that's what you do, then at least keep it somewhere I can't see it.

The only thing missing is more organic items. But Jimmy and his staff work really hard to have good produce at a good price!

This place is the best! Jimmy really hustles to get fresh produce at good prices. The apple selection here is outstanding with lots of unusual varieties to try. They always do right by us!
