QFC Quality Food Center

DO NOT EVER ORDER A CAKE FROM HERE DO NOT USE THE BAKERY!!! Ok first of all years ago we ordered a cake here 1 week in advance to a big party we were throwing. We arrived the morning of the party asked about our cake and the woman told us THEY FORGOT TO MAKE IT! So here we are our house starting to fill up with guests and no cake! A couple years later we gave this bakery another shot we arrived during bakery hours and when we arrived we saw people going up to the counter and looking inside and touching a cake box well turns out it was our cake in that cake box that they left out in the open for the public to handle!!! THEY LET RANDOM PEOPLE HANDLE OUR CAKE!!! They let people open the box and peek inside! That’s absolutely disgusting! Now I don’t know why I gave these folks another chance but I did! So this last incident we ordered a cake for a party we were having again we ordered about a week in advance AGAIN we arrive at the time we said we would and the woman working said she had no idea what we were talking about. We told her we ordered a cake 1 week ago. So she goes and reads a piece of paper behind the counter and starts cussing about how one of the bakers is an (expletive) and tells us that they forgot to make it she said she couldn’t do anything for us that night but promised she would have it the next morning! So the next morning we arrive and she is there and she tells us to wait a few minutes because she forgot to decorate it and when she came out and showed us we were horrified! It was such a rushed and sloppy job. I can’t believe how much these people just don’t care. If you have any deadline on when your cake needs to be finished, if you care about what it looks like, and if you’d prefer the general public to keep their hands off your food I definitely suggest going elsewhere. If however you want starving guests eating an ugly diseased cake go for it and order from here.

I’ve been coming here since I was young. Lately the employees here have made the whole shopping experience undesirable. I’ve actually paused to reconsider my options of grocery stores just because of my experience with the employees here.
One of the guys is always leaned back on the register, spacing out, or chatting loudly with other checkers. Another clerk threw all my items in a bag where they were falling halfway out, then remarked, «Need help out?» Before I could respond he was walking away. The checker laughed.
Stuff like that… made me rather go somewhere else where workers are more professional and customer service — oriented.

This is only for the deli. .my god people why don’t you smile. …you are a bunch of unhappy employees!

I come here only because of the staff I have gotten to know over 20 years. There’s something to be said, when the bi-​weekly checkers are greying with me! I have ongoing orders, and the staff is always welcoming. The night staffers and manager, greet me at the door, I can say my list and they grab half my groceries for me. I would thank everyone by name but that would take a while! The Mon-​Tues. meat cutter even know how to cut the tip steaks for my cats! While it not a fan of huge corporation Kroger, I am a fan of staff here who is more like crazy extended family. Definitely, a family neighborhood store. The evening deli guy and I have invented new grilled cheese sandwiches that would make Beechers blush in shame. Everyone here and myself, just click and if I toss out «what should I do for dinner?» we have all contributed to many amazing recipes and inventive cooking.
Yes, they have seen me come flying through the door in my slippers and pj’s to get one forgotten ingredient in the meal I’m cooking!
It’s just that kind of place.
Reach out Thanks to the day gals at checkout… you know who you are… We are all shocked we’ve lasted longer than my parrot!

This QFC is hella expensive!!! I’m not sure how they get away with it in a blue collar town like MLT, but I quit shopping here after a couple rounds of paying $ 80 for groceries could fit in two bags.
If it was more reasonable, I’d actually give them 5 stars. The people of nice, the store is clean and it’s a convenient location. Not convenient enough to go broke over though.

2.5 stars… really!!!
I’m docking a star because it’s on the expensive side and the selection is not the widest. Other than that, this is an EXCELLENT grocery store.
I wasn’t thrilled with the idea of moving out to Mountlake Terrace for a variety of reasons; I didn’t think I wanted a small-​town environment. Two kids later, I’ve changed my mind a bit and I don’t miss the city as much as I thought I would.
Anyway, this grocery store is one of the things I would never find in Seattle proper. The employees are outstanding. If you come here often, you know what I’m talking about. There is something really nice about the dynamic here, and it keeps me coming back in spite of the fact that I could drive 10 more minutes for a better deal.
Full disclosure: my first job was bagging groceries for QFC (not this one). I remember very little from the courtesy clerk training, save this paraphrased little bit: our exceptional customer service is what will make customers pay the extra money to shop here. At 16, I thought it was total crap. At 30, it turned out to be true. I just hope that the extra money I’m paying goes to those guys’ salaries.
Oh, and the produce is pretty stellar, too. The satsumas we bought today are killer :)

This has always been my grocery store for years and years! The staff is AMAZING and treats you like family. Love it here! The prices are right and it’s conveniently opened 24 hours per day so for people with different work schedules they are still able to do shopping. Plus it’s super close to my home and it’s definitely cheaper than Albertsons down the road.

Terribly slow checkout during prime time, showed up at the deli for some meat and cheese at 8, Deli sign says open until 9 we were informed we could not get anything because they had shut down the equipment. When asked about the hours we were scoffed at and made to fell awkward while they reluctantly served us. This is not the first time this and similar occurrences have happened.

Trish or tes or whoever is a terrible cashier. She snatched my ID out of my hand and threw my groceries down the line. I worked at a Kroger once. Fire her ass… she’s horrible and a disrespectful diva.

This is a very convienent place for me to shop and has all the amenities you’ll need for a good grocery shopping experience.

It’s a store. It’s open 24h. Okay, cool, whatever.
Relative to the nearby 24h Safeways and TOP and the fairly close 24h Albertsons, the selection is mediocre and the prices are pretty high. But it’s really close to my house so I go anyway.
What has earned my one-​star ire is the recent trend to mark entire shelves of products with huge stickers proclaiming «low price!». The grammatical trick here is that, even though the prices have gone *up* since they started doing this, the tagline doesn’t claim the prices are low*er*. «Low» is a meaningless subjective judgment, so they can slap it on anything and won’t ever be lying, even though nobody will read the phrase literally.
I am not a fan of this deceptive form of marketing.

24 hr grocery store, just a few blocks from home, nice.
Clean, has most of my usual staples, checkout area is a bit tight so occasionally it’s a minor hassle to navigate that end of the rows, and the meat department is on the small side. With Double DD meats right across 5 and two Central Markets within easy driving distance, I usually only hit up QFC for meat when they have really good sales, anyway, like when they sell whole chickens for .88 a lb.
Deli staff has always been pleasant, helpful, and quick, and they carry some yummy low-​lower sodium choices. The produce section, while not having as much variety as CM or a farmer’s market, definitely works for when we’ve run out of something and need to make a quick run.
Also, important to me, at least, we’ve never had an issue with checkout. They charge us the stated price, only once per item, each appropriate discount is given, each item makes it into the bag, and each bag makes it into the cart. That shouldn’t be surprising, after all, every store should do that, right? Amazing how many times other stores manage to somehow mess up that simple concept.
Before we moved to WA, we used to shop at Kroger for the bulk of our shopping, and picked up more specialty items and meats from a Central Market (completely different company from the WA Central Markets, same general idea) so it was a little bit of familiarity to walk into a QFC here.

The store is clean and laid out well. The deli lady was nice. Variety of products seem pretty fair. Prices are pretty expensive. I checked out the wines and they tended to be a buck or two more than TOP. Checkout was pretty speedy but curt. No long lines but with those prices that is not surprising.
I wont go out of my way to go there again.

Geez — I go to this QFC ALL the time because it is on my way home AND I’m talkin’ like after midnight. If I had alternatives, I would certainly choose them.
Almost everytime I drive up, the employees are right out front smoking. Hey, I AM a smoker too, but geez, it’s such a turn-​off. Then, when I go get my six-​pack, I have to hunt down an employee to ring me up. Can’t they just have a bell or something so I don’t have to walk around the entire freaking store looking for someone to help me?
Then — I almost always am the first one to say, «how are you doing tonight?»
They seem to not understand the meaning of service and hospitality.

This place is right up the street from me so it’s very convenient. The staff all seem to be nice and friendly. There are a couple of staff members that seem to go the extra mile and remember the locals. They usually chat about the Seahawks, the weather, the boating experience they went on the weekend before, or whatever is going on. Like talking to an old friend you’ve known for years.
You can tell the meat is high quality and fresh. Not the cheapest though unless you catch one of their good sales. The produce department is mediocre, not the worst but just doesn’t seem to be that inviting. They have a good selection of wines and there normally is a lady during the day time roaming around there that will help you with pairing or picking out a bottle for the night.
The prices are moderate but if hit the sales right you can make out great!
Also, it is always accommodating for those 1:30am beer runs!

While I don’t do the majority of my grocery shopping here, I’m glad that we have this QFC. Out of all the other stores I do my shopping, QFC is usually my first choice when I want fresh produce and meats for my meals.
There are a lot of positives to this QFC. Most of the staff are very helpful and make a point to remember their customers. Also, I like QFC’s selection of meat. They have ground beef that’s high quality and often on sale for a steal of a price. Flank steak, and pork tenderloins are often on sale there too, and always of great quality. Their produce section is also pretty expansive and fresh.
A couple of the ladies who work checkout have attitudes, and aren’t very gentle with the produce. The other thing that could be better is the size and selection offered. Compared to some QFC’s in Edmonds, our selection is a lot smaller. No freshly rolled sushi and cali rolls here. The bagels and baked good are also not the freshest.
The best part of having this QFC in the neighborhood is that It’s next to my gym, within walking distance to my house, and it’s open 24 hours a day. You just can’t really beat that.
