Leschi Market

Great little gem. I hardly go to a supermarket anymore. Great service. Love the deli and grab n goes. And, they treat their employees well. Keep up the good work guys!

Leschi Market I cant imagine life with out you. You are my best friend in the neighborhood… Everyone is marvelously kind and you carry the greatest products even for my organic, gluten free life… Thank you from the bottom of the bottles of the yummy wines and my empty plates that were filled with your delicious goodies… and my heart for being there for all of us in this community so we have a wonderful place to go and are not hostage to those mega stores full of junk. With Mad Love… your neighbor… Shelley

A great neighbourhood grocery that always seems to have everything you need to complete your meal. We shop here every week. Some favorites: Fresh bread, stumptown coffee beans, excellent quality organic produce (and always a ripe avocado), hot organic roasted chicken, the best homemade sausages, great chocolate, impressive wine selection at good prices, fresh flowers. And excellent customer service. I love that they immediately open another checkout as soon as there are more than 2 people in the line. I’m always in and out of there in ten minutes and just walk a minute or two to a parking spot. Thank you, leschi market!

Great Wine selection, Excellent Butcher, Produce, and people who work there. Every neighborhood should have a Leschi Market.

This market has everything and they rule. It’s a local Leschi neighborhood grocery store that knows their customers. I mean, if I’m looking for a random ingredient, ethnic or otherwise, there’s a 90% chance they have it. One whole isle is dedicated to WINE. They have a butcher in the back and a band saw?! They cut me marrow bones and stock bones. They smoke their own turkey and sausages as well. They got rid of Barilla pasta immediately after their anti-​gay stance. I brought back a piece of meat and they sent me home with an apology and a handful of steaks. My kids say whatsup to Robert in the back and he gives them sausages. They have a back doggie door and you can knock and they’ll give your furry babies a meaty treat.
I can go on and on here. Yeah, it’s a bit pricey, but it’s way more than that. They care.
Leschi Market rules.

Damn good short ribs, today: meaty (good value), with a just-​right sauce. Interesting choice of salads, too.

Great wine selection. Ample parking across the street. Can’t wait to go back and try the rest of the market.

Bought a deli sandwich here and it was terrible. Opened the sandwich and the roast beef was 50% fat, yup, sliced fat, almost gagged.

This very well could be the best small market in Seattle~ A beautiful location and if you’re a meat eater, be sure to check out the homemade’s sausages, daily roasts and other delicacies in their meat section.
A very wide selection of wines, organic and local foods and smiles from the managers and workers. A++
Grab lunch and enjoy a view of Lake Washington at the park right next to the market.

OMG. I’ve died and gone to curry chicken salad heaven. Seriously. Also great sausage counter. Also great wine selection. #win

Steve has built such a wonderful place here. Super convenient and great to get the last minute items.

Great beer selection. We grabbed some fresh sourdough bread, cheese and brews and walked across the street to the water. Very nice spot.

We love Leschi Mart!
It is that cozy neighborhood grocer that every neighborhood should still have.
They have an amazing wine selection, organic meats and just a out everything you need!
A very nice family owned business in Seattle!
Oliver LOVES it!

This is a pretty cool little neighborhood market.
I frequently visit the area and on occasion prefer to pick up some food here instead of visiting one of the near-​by restaurants. They have have some good items in their deli and an interesting cheese section, but I usually like to wander and pick up strange things like vegan jerky.
I haven’t found anything super awesome here, but it’s a nice little market and they do have some good specialty items. I’d be happy to have it as an option near my home or work.

For the awesome unique selection. Most [local] indie shops/​chains have many a different things than the giants do; this place has stuff I’ve not seen/​noticed at places like TJ’s, PCC, etc. That green «natural!» coconut drink was good. Lots of munchies I’d like to get my hands on, too…

They have everything you can think of – over the years I’ve looked for all kinds of things (food/​household supplies/​…) and I’ve never been disappointed by the Leschi Mart.
The people who work there are so friendly, I feel like I live in a small town.
Yes, you can save a few dollars by driving to a Safeway or a QFC a few miles away… but why drive when the Leschi Mart totally rocks!

My dear mom used to work here (before she fell ill to cancer) and she would always bring me home some pasta — this yummy pasta with olive oil, parsley, and organic chicken. Oh yum yum yum!
I finished the cancer walk yesterday, so I decided to go back. I was very happy to see that all of the produce is VERY clean. VERY VERY CLEAN. I have never seen cleaner produce in my entire life. If only I was running low on veggies for my rabbit — I would have bought some, but the veggie supply was full.
I found more pasta — the usual chicken one, but now there is one with salmon!

This place is very close to my house so I stop by often especially for last minute things. The only beef I have with the store is that it’s more expensive than the other groceries because for the neighborhood their the only show in town. If i go down and I get a number of things I usually spend 10 – 15 dollars more, I can’t say I’m a fan of that.
I am, however, a huge fan of the music they play in there. The staff is friendly, and for being a small store they have a daunting selection of wines, and like I said it’s close to my house (3 minute walk) so the convenience is nice too.

God bless Leschi, a little corner of small-​townish heaven just over the hill from the decidedly urban Central District, where I live.
I walk a lot, and one of my favorite walks takes me over the hill along Lake Washington Boulevard to a little marina area lined with lakeside restaurants, a Starbucks, a bike store, and the Leschi Mart.
This little grocery store has been around forever, as in several generations, and has the easygoing vibe and inventory of a store which hasn’t had a mortgage payment in years.
The main attraction here is the wine. They have a lot of selection, much of it highlighted with Wine Spectator ratings and reviews on little signs on the shelves. The Leschi Mart has everything you need for an impromptu picnic, whether you’re on a date or just by yourself and want to enjoy a nice meal. There are pre-​made sandwiches, salads sold by the pound, cheese, prosciutto, fresh fruit, sodas, gourmet chocolate, gluten free stuff, you name it.
It also sells new and used books (for beach or boat reading), cheap kids’ toys, grocery staples and things like sunscreen and diapers.
Regular customers can have their groceries put on their account. The cashier pulls their card out of a box of customer accounts, writes down the amount of that purchase, and the customer goes on his way. I don’t have an account there and don’t plan to get one, but I like the idea that a store that keeps customer accounts on paper cards. Again, very small town.
This isn’t really a place to go grocery shopping. It’s like an expanded general store/​deli/​wine shop. I do wish they’d clean the inside of their microwave once in a while, but it’s part of the charm.

The Leschi Market (I refuse to call it a Mart) is our go-​to for last minute dinner supplies. Their prices are good, their wine selection is seriously abundant and they have a great selection. Their produce is a tad limited, but so is their space, so it makes sense. Their meat case is great, and I love that I can buy house-​cured pancetta. Their other packaged meats (ground beef, chicken breast, etc.) is of the highest quality, which I really appreciate.
Parking is a bit of a nightmare, as you have to back out into oncoming traffic to get out of their (extremely small) lot. I try to park in the lot across the street when I can, and I often have to, as the front lot fills quickly.
