Manzo Brothers Fruits & Vegetables

I moved to Seattle 3 months ago and have been visiting Manzo Brothers weekly. They are one of the biggest produce vendors and at first I was thrilled with their selection and prices. But the last 4 times I have visited have been a disappointment. The staff insist on pulling stock from behind the counter of the stall so what I have been receiving is not great.
Week 1 — apples visibly bruised and brown
Week 2 — onion visibly bruised and smushy
Week 3 — red peppers shriveled
Week 4 — ½ lb of cherries and a third of them are mushy and split open — inedible
I typically buy 4 – 5 items and never notice the bad items till I get home.
Plus the staff are becoming brusque and rude, I will be searching for a new produce stall. So sad.

I love Manzos. What a beautiful place, and man do they hire some beautiful people. I always have the most amazing interactions with their employee Amber. She never tires of my endless questions of their array of fruits and veggies. They’ll even redirect you if you’re looking for something they don’t carry! It’s awesome. But seriously, if you stroll through the market, make sure to stop here and say hello to Amber. She’s infectious and always down for a deep belly laugh! I love it here, they always brighten my day.

Manzo Brothers is the only stand in the market I buy my fruit from. Not only do they have a wonderful selection, but everyone who works there is extremely friendly and actually remembers regulars no matter how many people they see a day. I have always been completely satisfied with my produce from them!

Great selection of fruit. They are always willing to let you try the fruit too!!! The only negative that I have, is that we’ve shopped here a few times, and each time, something I bought doesn’t make it into my take home bag. :-(Today it was my snap peas.

Fruit fresher than ever available at your fingertips. Can’t ask for more. Support your local farms for fresher ingredients to eat and enjoy. Friendliest staff ever and a huge variety of fruits and vegetables to choose from. We bought a few apples, oranges, and plums. SO D-​LICIOUS. It’s a must when you come to Pike Place. You have to stop by and pick up a few things to munch on while you wander around the artwork and crafts available at Pike. I recommend picking up a plum or two and walk downstairs to the small retail shops. DO IT. You will not regret it.

If I lived closer to Pike Place Market I would never buy produce at the grocery store again. Manzo’s has been in the same location at PPM since as long as I can remember. Here you can get twice as much produce as you would at the grocery store with the same amount of spend. Great value, great produce, not to mention great location!

The products sold here are very fresh. The staff is friendly and personable. It is clear that the people working at this stand care about the business and want to make sure their guests receive the best product at competitive prices. If you have never tried purchasing food at a farmers market or venue like Pike Place give it a try, you will be glad you did!

For years, I’ve always walked by this place but never bothered to check it out since its located in a busy hallway of the market. I have been buying my groceries at Pike Place Market on a regular basis and figured I might as well check out the other vendors to see if I can find a better deal on produce.
Manzo Brothers does have a bigger selection than some of the vendors I’ve visited and slightly cheaper. I brought some large opal apples during my first visit and they reminded me of a braeburn but sweeter.
Service here is pretty standard. They are attentive and get you what you need. I’ll be coming back if they have lower prices than the other vendors that I frequently visit at Pike Place Market.

When we moved downtown over a year ago, my husband and I compared prices and products all around Pike Place to decide where we’d find our produce on a regular basis. Manzo Brothers won us over with their reasonable prices and large stand. It has been our regular spot ever since. We always appreciate the efficient service, the cooking recommendations, and the quality of the produce.

Next to Lina’s Produce is another produce stand, Manzo Brothers which is about double the size of their neighbor. The pricing is pretty similar, but it gets an extra star because the selection is twice as large. It also has a long history at the Market as it has been part of this legendary complex for over half a century.
This is one of those stands in which the staff chooses the produce for you. If you do not know how to choose the best produce, I think buying at the Market is fine, maybe even better. But this has always given me trepidation about shopping at the Market as I don’t see the produce they pick out until I reach home.
Picked up some chantarelle mushrooms here too. The ones I got here were a little smaller than at Lina’s, but this is fine because I like smaller pieces. I did also get some carrots, which were large and fresh. Tastier than the ones which come in those pound bags. The quality on both items were of good quality.
Service was expedient and straighforward which I appreciate. With so much traffic in this part of the Market, I don’t feel like standing around in this area for too long.
Overall, I found Manzo Brothers to be a good place to pick up produce at the Market. The fact that Manzo Brothers has been in business for more than 50 years speaks for itself.

For our market trip this weekend, we opted to purchase our produce fro Manzo Brothers. They are located next door to Papardelle’s Pasta in the top of the Main Market.
One gentleman working behind the booth was shouting «Who’s Shopping Today???“I’m going to go out on a limb and assume that Saturday is a hard sell day for the food vendors due to the sheer amount of out of towners and tourists clogging the aisleways.
There are at least 8 produce vendors in and around the market, and Manzo seems to have a very large selection and variety of different fresh and seasonal fruits and vegetables. I like a lot of selection when I am shopping, and Manzo Brothers doesn’t dissapoint.
They are also very liberal with their samples. We tried a crisp fresh Jonagold and a slice of huge, perfectly ripe Avocado. I’m not a big avocado fan, but these avocados were so fresh, that I would have definately had some sliced on a sandwich.
The staff was knowledgable, friendly, and overall, awesome. Prices were fair, although I noticed a few other vendors selling certain products for a little less. Were it not for the crowd, it would have left a little more time (and space) to shop for the best prices.
