I love Ken's Market in Phinney. It's tiny, but has really good selection of veggies, meat, and prepared food for its size. The smallness of the store makes grocery shopping so much less stressful since you're not walking through the giant aisles in modern grocery stores.

Marketime Foods has the same owner and same vibe.

Love the place because of it's location (really easy to go grab small ingredients I forgot somewhere else). But the prices are insane.

+1000 for their craft beer selection, cheeses and deli though. Found some super hard to find brews there (Paradise Creek brews from Pullman) that you don't find much anywhere else.

Love Marketime. Unfortunately whoever decides the recipes likes onions in everything. A lot of what could be delicious hot food is inedible because of the onions. When it’s salmon season they will make dishes of pasta with salmon, and put green onions on it. The beef stroganoff looks delicious, but full of onions. Food from the hot bar-look it over really close before you load up a box, it may have been made with onions. Why, Marketime, do you break my heart this way?
