West Edge Market

Incredibly rude! And the price is expensive than other store. The owner is rude and unfriendly. Do not recommend!

I love shopping at locally owned stores and am happy to pay a bit more to support local people. Which is why I tried going here, even though city target and the IGA grocery are within walking distance. Unfortunately, the gentleman who owns this store has been incredibly rude, and his crankiness seems to be exacerbated by… women. i will be avoiding this market, along with my neighbors, even though we live upstairs.

I love these guys.
The sandwiches are great. They are fresh and delicious. Everyone here is nice and they are fast and efficient.
They are also KIND. We recently had some layoffs at my office and I came in to get some ice cream to give to my colleagues. They gave me a good price for the ice cream since I was buying a lot of it and were just so cool about it.
I’d come here over almost any other sandwich shop in the area. LOVE THEM.
Great wine selection, great beer selection, great sandwiches, it’s a great place.

My wife and I were hungry and ventured to find something to eat. We ended up here and were amazed by the modern nature of the store, it was so clean and the employees were super pleasant. My wife ordered a BLT, it came on fresh bread with a perfect ratio of bacon, lettuce and tomato, the sandwich was overflowing. She loved it! I ordered a tuna sandwich and it is probably the best one I’ve ever had! I definitely recommend trying these sandwiches, they are out of this world

I work nearby and grab sandwiches here often.
They offer the brand «boar’s head» for their sandwiches and they are YUM!
the gentlemen normally working the lunch hour knew my sandwich by the third time i went… RUBEN! and it’s my favorite in town.
Instead of complain about paying for convenience here, i readily embrace it. I know i could walk a few blocks and get a sandwich for cheaper at pike, but do i have the time? do i have comfortable work shoes? do they require us to wear chuck taylor high tops? No, No, and of course… yes.
I buy a sparkling water and a sandwich and i’m HAPPY!
thanks West Edge.

for the most part of this place seems like almost any other convenience store. its just like 7-​Eleven except without the 7 or 11. I found the price is here to be on the pricey side, and many of the items were not even market with the price. obviously like anything in store, their selection was not very big and rather expensive. I was trying to find a snack in here and after looking around for about 5 minutes, I decided to leave without buying anything because the items were so expensive.

i just started working close to this market, and was in need of some creamer for our office. There are no prices posted, because they are hoping you will just pay for the convenience that they offer. I’ll admit for a little store they have a lot of variety, but the prices they charge are ridiculous. I grabbed the creamer thinking I was just going to suck it up and braced myself for whatever they would charge me, but then I noticed the sign that said that they don’t accept cards for purchases under $ 5.00. Shady, shady, shady. I can walk an extra two blocks to Target, that’s cool.

When I lived at Harbor Steps, I came here a lot. The space is a little cramped since they try to cater to a wide variety of needs. You’re also going to be paying a premium for convenience of having this place basically in the building. But now that Target is opened down the street, it’s gotta be hurting the business here. When I was living there, it’s was either this market or hop in a car.

Decent food, but the line moves slowly at lunch. Seems like they should have someone dedicated to food and someone on the register for people not eating lunch and want a quick soda or something. Often you wait until the food line clears. They have a decent wine and beer selection, but almost no fresh food selection. I live in the Harbor Steps so I shop here, but when I move, I doubt I’ll be back.

It really blows my mind that this place is still open considering Target is 2 blocks away. I live in Harbor Steps and run down here when I’m absolutely desperate and Target is closed. The positive is that they have alcohol and are open later than Target. The negative is that everything is SO expensive, prices are not labeled, prices are inconsistent, and there is a minimum credit card charge. I wanted to bake cookies the other night and was charged $ 6 for a bag of chocolate chips. That’s CRAZY. While they do have beer and wine, it’s way more expensive than other places.

I work a block south from here, so its this market or a small pharmacy south of my office for snacks, treats, candy, etc.
A coworker frequents West Edge Market and buys the same snacks each and every time. He SWEARS each time he ends up paying a different amount.
This location makes it a perfect target for the all the tourists so I guess that explains their high pricing and the fact that they still have a minimum $ 5 charge for all debit/​credit cards.
I’d say head to Target, it’s not far away, if you plan on spending more than $ 10 on anything.
The staff is nice and the market is clean so I guess it could a lot worse.

I stopped by this place for a sandwich on my way to Pike’s Market. I got the roast beef sandwich and it was a generous amount. They also had soup that I think changes daily up front that smelled good.
Outside of being a deli, it’s also a small grocery store with drinks, snacks, wines, etc. Considering location prices weren’t bad at all.

The tuna sandwich I had was OK after a scraped all of the wilted veggies off of it. It was thrown together, poor quality. I’d suggest getting the same Boar’s Head deli items a block away at Rex’s. I the prices for both places are high but you do get greater quality at Rex’s.

Yes, it’s more expensive than you might expect but the deli sandwiches are very decent and the employees are always happy to help and very polite. Plus, they’re dog friendly!

This market is convenient for harbor steps and they definitely take advantage of this. No prices are posted in the store and everything is really overpriced. (A winning combination).

I work just up the stairs from this deli. That’s the only reason I still go every once and a while. The food is decent, I can’t put them down for that. The prices are high, but that’s consistent with most delis that are at the bottom of housing towers. The part that gets to me is that I was going here daily for over three years ordering an 8 dollar sandwich, before realizing that they offered a punch card. I could have had a dozen free sandwiches by now. Of course the recognize me. But did they offer me a punch card because I visit so often? No. These people care about every dime coming into the store, they take a minute to think about and respect the loyal customers.
The other part that made them lose points: I got a cup of soup (which typically comes with bread). There was no bread sitting out because they had run out early. Well it’s a deli so I know they have plenty of bread. When she’s ringing me up I ask for some bread to go with my soup. She says, «no problem,» and grabs a piece of sandwich bread and puts it in my bag and adds another buck twenty-​five! Unreal.
I wish I had a more convenient option. The reality is that I’ll continue to give this family a piece of my paycheck.

So, confession: I find myself going to this market almost on a daily basis. Since living at Harbor Steps, I can easily walk down to this quaint market and get my basic foods and goodies. You can get just about anything for a little more expensive than a Safeway or QFC, but hey… can’t be too picky being downtown. It’s open ’til midnight and I think a little later on the weekends. Plus, the wine and beer selection is really great!
I haven’t had anything from the deli but my roommate and friends have and the sandwiches look really good. I definitely think it’s a nice little place to stop if you’re nearby and want a good sandwich or cup of soup.
Update from a recent review: The staff is incredibly nice!!! One girl, Hannah, is so great and always asking how you are and what not. There’s also a cute asian couple that works there too and they’re very polite and inviting. Nice change opposed to other places where the employees don’t give a crap… definitely a fan!

FAN!!! If you are on vacation and staying in downtown Seattle and want to grab a bottle of sparkling wine without having to be ripped off with room service rates then go here!
We stayed at Hotel 1000 and this store was open late and only a few blocks from our hotel. Around 11ish pm, on our way home from dinner from 94 Stewart at the Public Market we decided we wanted more alcohol! Well thank the lord I saw this place from the corner of my eye. We really didn’t think any stores would be open that late and still selling alcohol. A bottle of Cook’s was the same price at the grocery store.$ 9!
If you are in need for same night time alcohol in your downtown hotel room without having to pay for gratuity and an overpriced bottle, then come here!

It’s sometimes hard to tell if this unassuming little shop on Post Alley at the Harbor Steps wants to be a neighborhood grocery or deli; fortunately they adequately fill both roles. For West Edge residents they offer a respectable selection of daily need foods, including what appears to be a well-​rounded wine selection, should wine be part of your daily food needs.
For West Edge workers like myself, they carry delicious and filling soups, salads, and sandwiches at pretty reasonable prices. Their sandwiches come stuffed with ample quantities of your preferred meats, cheeses, and vegetables, and their specialty pannini sandwiches are big enough to share. Roger’s Special is my current favorite. Add a bag of chips and a drink, and you’re looking at around $ 10, or try one of their many soup and salad options from the deli case for a buck or two more.
The service seems a bit brusque at times, but it’s hardly rude. It’s not unusual to encounter a hefty line of patrons ranging from techies to construction workers during peak lunch hours, but you’re not likely to have to wait more than 10 minutes or so.
Seating is limited to a handful of stools, however it’s not exactly an eat-​in atmosphere in the first place. If the weather’s agreeable and you don’t have to rush back to the office, cop a squat out on the Harbor Steps or find a spot along the waterfront to enjoy your meal — it’s one you may need to either walk off or take a nap to recover from.
