Eastlake Market

I went in to buy a few things and I guess it didn’t reach five dollars so she would not allow me to use my credit card. I’m pretty sure that is not the card holders policy. I would stay clear of this place.

Best thing to consider is the fact that you can pre-​order breakfast sandwiches and they will make them fresh for you any day of the week, anytime they are open in the morning. Also, I love Mel’s snarky attitude. The whole staff is so great. Its the perfect neighborhood store!

Horrible checker tonight who is not Mel. Would rather spend twice as much but can’t handle a super sad person.

Eastlake doesn’t have a real supermarket, so places like Eastlake Market are a lifesaver! The market has a good mix of everything from cleaning supplies to craft beer to kombucha to toasted nori. The convenience food options are decent, but not the healthiest (think TV dinners and things with sodium levels of over 9000). For slightly healthier food options, Pete’s or Hamlin Market may be more for you. The owners are really nice and the night crew is alright.
One great thing about this place is that it’s open late (till 2 am on most days)! That means this sister can get her Hot Pocket on into the wee hours of the night! Woot!

If I forget to make my lunch for work I end up stopping here to get something. I usually get a breakfast sandwich for me to eat before my shift starts. I like it a lot better than the breakfast sandwich the coffee shop down the road sells. They stuff it with a lot of eggs and real cheese. I get their chef salad for lunch which is also huge. The lettuce is very fresh as well as the grape tomatoes. They do use packaged deli meat slices and cheese sticks that they sell in their little grocery section all cut up. Don’t forget your dressing, which are stacked near the salads.
They have everything a typical convenience store sells. My coworker sometimes get snacks during her breaks here. She let me try their fried breaded shrimp, potstickers and egg rolls. They were pretty tasty. She was also able to find the cappucino, wasabi and bacon mac and cheese flavored Lays potato chips sold here. I can never find those flavors at the regular grocery stores.
They open at 5am so it is perfect for me to grab something quick since it isn’t that busy that early. You do pay the price for convenience though.

This place is great, a perfect little neighborhood corner convenience store. Their prices are great and they have a decent selection of almost everything. They don’t have Dr. Pepper on tap anymore, which sucks, but that’s ok.
They have everything you need… have a last-​minute need for some cat food? They have it! They even have t-​shirts and dirty magazines AND cones!
The only thing I don’t like about this place is the woman that works there. Most of the time there are a couple dudes that wait on people, but when this woman is there (I’ve only seen one chic) we almost just want to turn around and walk out becuase she is SO RUDE to us, and for no reason! I’ve been going to this place for about 8 years!
We discovered another little store on the other side of us on Eastlake, so that’s where we’ve been going, but if this lady could get her manners in order and realize that customers shouldn’t be yelled at or treated poorly, we’ll start frequenting this place agian.
Their hot breakfast food is delicious, but I’ve never tried anything else!

*It’s close and handy, the staff is friendly and they have a 7−11+ stock of crap
*They also have some hot food I have been meaning to at least try, burritos, potstickers, friend cheese thingies in the hot case, gas station good!
*Is anything cheap? no, but neither is 7 – 11 get over it there just isn’t a grocery store remotely close to Eastlake so NBD

When I moved to the neighborhood, I really hoped this market would be more than what it is. It basically feels like a 7 – 11 — lots of packaged convenience food, not the cleanest place around, prices slightly above the grocery store. If I ran out of milk, this place would do, but if I was looking for anything else, I’d walk the extra couple blocks to go to Pete’s.
Note they charge a fee if you use a credit card on a purchase under $ 5.

This store really seems to have everything that a convenience store should and more.
They have the usual suspects: snacks, treats and beverages, but they also stock lots of other grocery items: butter, ice cream, eggs, foil, laundry detergent, dog food, matches…(this is the list of items i’ve needed in a pinch!) The prices reflect the convenience but I’m sure glad this store is here.
Although Eastlake doesn’t have a grocery store, this market saved me a few times when I was either too lazy or unable to get to a store (rare snow days). The owners are pretty friendly too.

Hey, it’s just up the street from me and has a very impressive selection of candy bars, chips and lottery tickets. Some days that’s all I’m really looking for! I am also told though that they do have good salads and sandwiches, I’m someone who’s a little leery of eating ready-​to-​eat food from gas stations and convenience stores but my roommate loves them.
It is a bit more expensive though, and for pretty much everything that’s not candy bars, chips or lottery tickets I tend to wait on until I make the drive to a real grocery store. They also have a minimum fee if you want to use a card here, so either have cash on hand or be ready to buy more then just a candy bar.

I really like this convenience store. Here’s why: 1) The owners are really nice and totally involved in their business. 2) their stock has great variety and breadth. 3) they have great hours and are open during snow storms.
I live in Eastlake and although it’s not the best prices (why should they be? It’s a small business convenience store… you know you’re paying more.)
I do wish Eastlake had a real grocery store… someday. (P.S. Before you even say it: Pete’s wine store doesn’t count!)

I sometimes go here for lunch when the small selection of lunch places in the immediate neighborhood aren’t on my list for the day. They have all sorts of fried goodies and their cold foods are a good value for the price. A couple of my faves are the chicken pesto pasta (rich and filling) and their Cobb salad (big enough and fresh enough to eat as leftovers the next day). Plus, they now carry Hi-​chews, one of my all-​time favorite guilty pleasures!

This little gem is a great pit stop. You could be on on your way to the U-​District on Eastlake and need a snack. Or like me, you live on Eastlake and it’s my munchy-​redbull (pre)party funky time stop. You’ll be quite surprised at what you find. Oh and… don’t eat the hot food by the cashier.
It’s very difficult to give any convieniance store 5 stars but I’m sure they are out there.

Eastlake Market still had plenty of ice and chips at 4:30 on the Fourth of July. Somebody was prepared!

Yes, it could be cheaper for some particular items… but it’s a little mini mart — what do you expect?
They have banging salads pre-​packaged (I used to buy them before hopping the bus to work or school), decent fried items, and a ton of other stuff. Beer, wine, sake, smokes, pop, energy drinks… the usual kwik-​e-​mart fare.
Everyone that works there has been working there for years and they’re all SUPER NICE. I adore each and every one of them. I had moved away for a couple years, and when I came back, the old guy that works there adjusted his glasses and said, «Ahhhhh, you back? Where you been? Didn’t see you long time!»
It’s good to know I am welcomed here and it feels like home. Even if it IS just a little Kwik-​E-​Mart.

This is going to sound weird, but their tomato basil soup (actually, I think they label it basil tomato) wins them a solid 3 stars. It’s…really good. It’s such an odd place to buy soup, but I’ll be damned if having my wisdom teeth out and needing soup wasn’t almost worth discovering this.
The prices are ridiculously high, but the owners are friendly and funny and apt to throw in treats or extras for regular customers. And that’s why this is my favorite overpriced Eastlake convenience stores!

Pros: It’s open to 2am, it has frozen pizza, beer, deodorant, cocacola, Doritos, GQ magazine… everything a bachelor could ever want!
Cons: Why did all the prices go up 5−10% in the last 3 months? Beer went up 50 cents, making this place one of the more expensive places to buy beer in Seattle. A six pack of Sierra Nevada is now $ 8.49.
So if I’m on my way home, I’ll try to go to a different convenience store to save a couple cents… but if I’m lazy and don’t want to go far, or if it’s late, this place is great.

I love the fact that its right there down the road. My only complaint is the pricingst. At times I won’t buy anything because I really don’t want to spend $ 7 for a small thing of icecream, or $ 5 for milk that is going to expire in 5 days. (Yea I wasn’t to pleased about the less that a week old milk being spoiled).
But still it’s convenient. Just pricey. The cashiers are always nice though.

Impressive little market.
Prices are a little high but what can you expect at a neighborhood market? It’s worth it for me… no car + need for groceries = pain in the ass. They have about 75% of what I want/​need here. Tons of wine and the staff is knowledgeable on the subject so you can ask for recommendations or if you have questions.
Great booze pick-​up spot before you hit the lake too!

They put the «convenience» in «convenience store». Huh?
Typical store that’ll sell you a 20oz. Coke, some chips, a little cat food and a can of Spam. Great if you live in Eastlake, or are just driving through, and are hungry for some Meow Mix. Hey, each his/​her own!
Nice family runs the joint.
