Best Grocery Store
@leschimarket
The BEST grocery store in Seattle. Everything you need and more from a small independent grocery store, just an 8 minute walk away. Great organic produce, amazing beer and wine selection and coffee. Full deli with great sandwiches, organic roast chicken - and prime rib Fridays! LM staff are the smartest, funniest, kindest humans around. LM is also dog-friendly, ok to shop with dog on leash and they've got good-dog treats at check-out.

Beloved breakfast & brunch institution in Seattle for three decades. Our favorites: Green Eggs (pesto!) and Ham, Corned Beef Hash, the kiddo pancakes and the best Bloody Mary in Seattle. Also a quick to-go stop for one of the best Americanos in the city.
