We absolutely love this market, it feels like a family owned version of Whole Foods, with much lower prices and the same quality.

Great store. Lots of items not available in other grocery stores. Many items are local, and also made on site. A very inviting atmosphere and easy to navigate the store. Its a great change from having to go to the retail grocery stores where there is just name brand things. I would highly recommend giving this store a try, you wont be disappointed!

Central market is one of my favorite places to shop at. The produce is fresh and so is the seafood and meat. They have live crabs, lobsters and prawns. Oysters and clams too. Doest get fresher than that! The crab cakes here are absolutely delicious! Yum yum. Love the fresh mozzarella cheese too. I like that they have a lot of unique n interesting foods that arent available in most other stores. They have a little live station for asian food and baked goods as well.Through COVID, they have been doing a good job staying in stock and enforcing social distancing. They have the 6 ft markers on the floor by the cashiers and I have seen them sanitizing the carts every each use. They have sanitizer by the entrance and all the staff are wearing masks too.

The only place I can find banana hi-chews and the kids loved seeing the live crabs and lobsters. Will definitely shop here again!

Centro market is amazing! Great managers and staff. Their products and customer care is great. They are also amazing in the community. Hosting programs and supporting food drives. Including my churches. Central market has just been awesome over all

Though a bit pricey, we come here frequently for the high quality food. The quality of their produce and meats is top notch. There are many local, organic brands to choose from. Even the packaged items have many local brands. Their deli and salad bar has a diverse selection of prepared food that isnt too salty. The bakery items are o.k.- you wont find an excessive amount of sugar in them. They are well- staffed and the customer service is great too. Everyone is friendly and we never have to wait long to check out.

This market is one of the coolest Ive ever been, a super large store with tons of goodies, a clean atmosphere and lots of fresh goods as well! The staff are wonderful and the cashier I had was pretty funny too. A great place to shop and even a fine place to just walk around when youre bored and end up buying a pretzel.

Beautiful new sign on the roof! Great selections of quality products. The only thing (unrelated to the store) the parking lot lights were out and I saw a pedestrian almost hit by a turning car.

Has a much better vibe than most markets and has an exceptional selection. Additionally, the sticker price includes taxes AND is competitively priced.If you grab breakfast nearby and have your list ready, shopping on a Saturday Market with an SO becomes fun rather than a chore.

Market is a great store. Price wise and selection market is something between WF and regular grocery store like Safeway. You can find specialty items here and regular brands that are sold at any store. Their produce is amazing, always good quality. Same about their meat, good quality worth every penny.

Good store. They have a great selection when it comes to meats and produce. Some of their items seem overpriced. Also, their health & beauty section is really small (not a whole lot of options regarding shampoo, conditioner, body wash, etc.).

Continually impressed by this store. Sure there are less expensive places you can get groceries, but I prefer shopping here for multiple reasons. The produce is much better than at other stores. There are staff members who remember me and my kids. I get helped quickly if I ever call about an item. People actually seem to enjoy working there, are pleasant, and acknowledge you. My kids love to say hi to the crabs in the tanks.My online order (via door dash) didn’t show up this week, and the online manager Brian personally re-shopped it and had someone from the store drive it over to my house.The store has always been clean but now it’s extremely clean. They had the best and fastest response to COVID and I was never uncomfortable shopping here, even in the early days when nobody knew what was what and we were all afraid to breathe.All of these things will keep me coming back and spending more than I rightfully should on food. 🤣👍

Love this store but was very disappointed in the newly renovated bulk spice area. They got rid of a large number of items and it’s not warm and welcoming like it used to be. Very cold and sterile look.

Im not giving central market a one star. They are a great place ! Im giving the sushi section a one star. The last two days I have been at central market to get sushi, and you can tell that it has been rushed. Sushi isnt fully rolled, and completely crumbling when Im picking it up. They need to take their time.

Review №18

Central Market is the best grocery shopping experience in the Seattle area. It combines nearly everything from Whole Foods, a conventional supermarket, Uwajimaya (Asian supermarket in the ID), with the best seafood north of Pike’s Place, and a knowledgeable wine steward. And it’s locally owned.

Great place to shop, masks required, safety dividers at check out and its not very busy when you visit on a week day morning. Feel very safe shopping here. They have good selection of non dairy desserts and baby food. Produce is fresh and organized and I love their section of Asian groceries in the middle. They sell lots of Japanese foods, miso fish cakes, salted plums and mochi. I found ochazuke seasoning here which is awesome. I was able to buy everything I needed to make rice balls as they also have seaweed too. They also have ready to eat rice bowls and sushi as well.

High-end store with so many departments and good things to choose from. Recently remodeled and some things moved around, not easy to find. Wine dept is enticing but not sure how it is organized. Maybe theyre still working on it. Go there, worth the trip.

I love this place, almost a one stop shop, prices as good if not better than Fred Meyer.Its like PCC Market meets QFC. They have an amazing bulk section, and they have a lot of products in their health department I cant get anywhere but a specialty store.Best fish prices and variety for quality.The only other place to get fish besides the Farmers Market.

Review №25

Sorry! But the change to Towne & Country is not the same as the former Central Market. Most of the diverse foods are no longer carried and so, is now more like a regular grocery store. Please change back!

Review №26

Thank you one of the cashiers/packers for taking my opinion seriously months ago. I no longer have hard time finding Silk chocolate soy milk since then! A must buy every time I shop there!They have very good selection on dairy free and gluten free products, Asian foods, and fresh made Japanese foods. I buy a lot made in Japan products from Central. I also love the way they do with COVID-19 by providing masks, gloves, sanitizers, wipes, and sanitized carts!

You can find here the best and fresh products a grocery store can offer. Everyone is friendly and if you go there frequently they will remember your name. I love how clean the store is. If you forgot your mask they will give you one. They have good service here and the food they prepare is like home made. We enjoy shopping here.

Clean and bright store with helpful staff. Recently moved stuff around so if youve been here before it might take a little longer. More expensive than a regular grocery store but worth it for the variety and quality. We supplement our regular routine by stopping about once a month. And if youre hungry now, the sushi and burgers are really good, too.

Review №34

My family & friends having shopping at Central Marker Mill since the opening in 2004. I am Asian decent and shopped here for most of my needs for Asian products including many friends. Now that it has been remodeled inside, now many Asian products are no long stocked or selection for past 16 years. The items are spread out all over the store instead of most stores keeping ethnic foods in one area. I have inquired about this subject and was told that most items where staying being replaced by new items not true! All my Asian friends in the community do agree with poor decision with remodel of Asian area. We all now are going to different store for are needs and is very sad and how Centeral Market in Mill Creek will reconsider their move on the area.

Review №35

I am increasingly dissatisfied with the quality of the customer service and lack of response from the staff. The phone line goes to a general number not associated with the store I want to contact and they have a lack of basic products online for ordering. As an example, I can get a Filet Mignon at $37 each, but I cant get a standing rib roast. This is a basic cut available at every grocery store. You pay extra so you dont have to deal with the small things, yet if you dont offer the large basic things then there is no need to take care of the small things. I understand this sounds like wining, yet you are paying premium for service. they are lacking that service. Called the phone line to order and its not connected to the store you are calling. Wore yet, there is no way to ask and have it ready. I am not saying I will not shop here, but if you offer a premium experience yet lack the basic cuts then you are just another Yuppie money grab, not a high end grocery store.

I do like Central Market a lot but the last 2 times the cheese I bought, which was not cheap, was terrible tasting, I had to throw it out. Also the people in the fruits and vegetables area were very unhelpful. And the fish lgot was not the best tasting and cost me $50. Disppointing.

UPDATE September 2021Major changes in the store layout.The name changed back to the original name of the companies stores, still owned by the same store.Some of the changes are great but overall I personally dont care for some of them. Im not sure the reasoning behind the changes. Giving it some time before I give negative reviews of anything specific.I do appreciate having self check out nowPrevious:Top notch produce, deli and bakery items.Friendly employees, clean store and great location.They carry a lot of items that other grocery stores dont.Of course its more expensive here but its totally worth it. They have many items on sale each week.They have a huge produce section with a good size organic section.Excellent Meat and Fish markets. Live crab, oysters and lobster.Fresh sushi made right there in the store.Nice deli with hot meals available. They have a great soup bar, salad bar, vegetarian bar, olive bar, fresh mozzarella and more.this year we decided to get our Thanksgiving turkey dinner in the deli and were very disappointed in the stuffing. Very bland and not tasty at all. The vegetables were very plain and undercooked. The gravy was over-seasoned and tasted very strong of an herb. The cranberry sauce was very good and so were the sweet potatoes.Lots of cold cuts and cheeses to choose from and they usually have cheese samples out.Great bakery/dessert selections.Outdoor seating availableLots of beautiful flowers indoor and out front.They have cooking demonstrations with samples to taste and a recipe handout.

One of my favorite stores.I love taking my time and looking at all the items this store has to offer. Went here with a friend after dinner to pick up a few items and left two hours later with some fantastic items not found at the regular local grocery stores.Every department has so many variety’s of high quality foods. I love how the store is laid out. Seriously!!I will keep some ideas in mind for unique gifts as well. The produce section is by far superior and such a huge selection of fresh produce. I could go on and on.I love to cook and am always looking for new and exciting things to add to my family’s dinner experience. Excellent customer service as well.I highly recommend Central Market.

Its like a mixture of trader Joes and Whole foods, fresh produce, quality meat and seafood. Delicious Bakery items. Huge variety, but the staff is still friendly and helpful. It was my first time at a central market and I found both exits, but not tge entrance. The employee passing by on break was nice enough to tell me how to get inside and seemed genuinely happy to do so. Even the girl wiping down carts greeted me genuinely happy.

Wow!!! I love this store. I mean if one could truly fall in love with a grocery store than Central Market would be the best bride.The selection is awesome..from its wine selection, natural foods, produce, and live seafood, I found everything I needed. The downside however is cost. I dont mind paying more for great produce or meat but I wont pay 3 times more for the same protein powder found at Costco or Walmart for 18.00 and pay 51.00 at CM.

Review №61

Usually, we love this place. Except for the customer service. My husband and I went in today for cheese, spinach and a sandwich from the deli. The deli girl, not her fault, but the customer behind us claimed dibs for next in line. We just needed a sandwich heated. So, I handed it to her, she then helped the other customer. Her boss came out we told him how she left it sitting on the counter to help the other lady. Probably a regular, since thats our experience from the past. Then, after that, my husband was chased around the store for wearing a face shield, not a mask. If you read the guidelines on every website, the faceshield is far safer than the paper masks... anyway, the food is still great, but if you arent a daily regular, dont expect help. At least the deli manager comped the sandwich, not at all what we wanted.

Review №64

I realize this is a long review, so heres the summary: hard to find ingredients? They got em. Theyre incredibly expensive, but very very friendly.Heres the long version: Central Market ALWAYS has the hard to find ingredients. If there is any ethnic food you are making and youre not sure where to find the ingredients youve never heard of or are uncommon for a grocery store to carry, look at Central Market before you give up. I always find it interesting to just peruse the store for all of the interesting ingredients they have. They have ingredients that you would typically only find at a specialized ethnic market, but its all in this one stop location.Ha! I say one stop but I will admit it should probably be a second stop. Unless you have a lot of money to throw away, Id say try to find everything you can at your normal grocery store. The one downside to this store is it is insanely expensive...almost expensive enough for me to dock a star.The saving grace, and why I did not dock a star, is because their staff is always incredibly friendly. They make you feel like youre shopping with your best friend, and its not just one or two people. Literally everytime I go there, no matter who I speak to or what I ask, they are so friendly it makes me feel like Ive known them my whole life.

I love this place! First, they always have fresh oysters and they will schuck them for your pick up! My recent experience was with the Flower/Garden department. I went to pick up oysters and they had these gorgeous ceramic pots at the entry. I bought all of the large ones. I went home to call the other stores and found one more in Shoreline. I thought I found one in Poulsbo and planned on taking the ferry but I rechecked the shape and it was wrong. I called Mill Creek again to see if they were ordering any more. Tammy, the manager of the department, said they were not but I could check Ballard, Bainbridge and one other store. She filled me in on a great tip! If I found one, just ask for it to be shipped to her store and I could get it there. I was able to find one more and they shipped it to Mill Creek for me. Top Notch customer service!!!!!! (And the oysters were fabulous too!)

I only came here for salt and heavy cream.. Good thing I only had $21 in my pocket, and left my debit card at home. If youre looking for an enormous selection to choose from, this place is like walking into food heaven!!! They have it all, from chantrells, to fresh oysters,and yes, even oyster mushrooms.. They have an endless olive bar, mochi ice cream that ive never knew existed, and i usially get my mochi at a certain asian Mart by the mall.. I would highly recommend heading on down to the Central Market.. You will not be disappointed!! It is a bit pricey, but, whatever... Check out the pictures i post, those steaks are crazy big!! I could go on and on..
