Glondo’s Sausage Co

About 2 weeks ago my husband & I spent Sunday night in a hotel in town. He noticed that there was an Italian sausage store. We are from Brooklyn New York, where they are scattered throughout Italian enclaves in the city. We have been living in Washington State for 27 years. We really miss the Italian salumaria & foccaceria. We were pleasantly surprised & decided that we were not going to leave town without stopping in to get intoxicated. We, when we walked in all the aromas from the life I had known in Brooklyn suddenly were right there! I was so dang elated! Not only was there Italian sausages; but pepperoni, homemade jerky, imported Italian cold cuts, imported Italian cheeses, olives & packaged delicacies on the shelves. All imported foods, cakes, sweets, truffles, pasta. We spent $ 150 on everything we crave & which is hard to find. Yes, there is the internet… but you haven’t had the «EXPERIENCE» until you walk into one of these places and just dive in!
We also found out that the owner Mr. Glondo is also Mayor Glondo & he is a jolly & kind fellow with a rich knowledge of his family history & the history of Cle Elum itself, where he was born & raised.
So, if you are driving through Cle Elum on I90, take the time to drive into town and get yourself some Old World foods with a family feel. We have been enjoying all the food we purchased. We’ll be back!!! But they do ship as well!!! «Franni’TasTiC!!»
Thank you Glond’s Italian Sausage Co

Mama mia! Now THAT’S a SPICY meat-​a-​ball-​a ;-)
Seriously though, this place is the best. Now all they need is a nice and cozy and intimate Italian restaurant next door with some handsome Italian waiters serving those meatballs with every meal with music playing in the background… you’d have a line going out the door!
O Sole Mio!

I first visited this shop about 18 months to 2 years ago. If they don’t got the cheese or meat you want, you don’t need it. The Applewood Smoked Cheddar cheese is fantastic as is the Landjaeger. They even have a few hard to find soda and several imported items. Pepperoni is a bit spicy, but I still thoroughly enjoy it.

The BEST! They have the best jerky & pepperoni sticks. I am sure everything they have is amazing but that’s what I have to always get.
Glondo’s is a must stop for anybody passing through town!

Don’t leave without having some fresh beef jerkey cut for you. Amazing… and they ship!!!

This place is the best. Of course you have to like meat. But given that I would say it is hard to go wrong at Glondo’s. The bacon is awesome. They cure their own copa. The bratwurst is great. The selection of deli meats and cheeses is good. Also you can get wine, condiments, pasta, sauces, et al.
Here is the latest greatest. We were on our way to Cle Elum but were going to arrive 20 minutes past closing. Gave them a call, made an order over the phone. When we arrived at the store, Nina met us with our bag of purchases and a smile. Now that is great service.
If I could give Glondo’s 10 stars I would.

Cappo, Salumi, homemade sausage, jerky, pepperoni. Cle Elem is so lucky to have this gem of a store. Can get really «dangerous» fast (as in expensive as you will have to stop yourself) as the selection of fine Italian specialty items is amazing. And very very helpful and enthusiastic owner will feed you samples and samples. Love this place, now with Owens Meats (German owners) down the road and Glondos (Italian owners) here, one has no reason not to stop in Cle Elem.

I first experienced this shop while driving through on a business trip. Decided to pick up some hot Italian sausages as a treat for the family. They were excellent! Even though we live several hours away, I decided to call to see if they would ship meat to me so we could freeze it for future meals. To my surprise the answer was yes and they were very accommodating-​even allowing me to specify extra spice and heat into the sausages I was ordering. Just cooked up my first batch and am very pleased. This summer-​I plan to place orders ahead of major BBQ’s etc… thanks Glondos!

By far the best beef jerky i have ever had. Two things to note, while it does not need to be refridgerated, the jerky will go bad in a week or two, and while it appears a bit expensive, it is definitely worth it.
Stopped by right when they were closing up shop but the friendly staff let us in to pick up some jerky while headed to red top to do some hiking. Very strongly recommended shop.

My wine/​garlic sausages went bad very quickly, made me sick. The pepperoni sticks are good, though.

What a great little shop. We came across Glondo’s as we were driving thru town. We bought some brats and Italian sausages. They are huge and juicy and very tasty ;) Reasonably priced for the quality of meat you’re getting. They also have a good selection of cheese, but we didn’t get any. I wish I lived closer, but will definitely stop by next time I’m in town! Really friendly staff as well :)

Absolutely the best beef jerky I’ve ever eaten. Yes, it’s expensive, but DAMN!!! If you want something a bit cheaper, get the pepperoni and watch them hack off chunks from the big rack of it behind the cash register.
Their blood sausage is mind-​blowing too. We cooked it with some apples and onions, and ate it off crackers while camping. One of the best meals I can imagine.

Excellent meats, specialty cheeses. Pick up some wine, landjaeger sausages and cheese here then on to the bakery further south on first for a portable feast. Great pancetta and prosciutto. Very friendly staff and great aervice, a must stop on my way to or from Seattle if time allows. Owen’s meat market is also excellent but not on Unilocal yet.
