QFC

Basic grocery just stopped into get cash, but you can tell it has a real tight neighborhood feel with decent service.

I shop at this QFC almost every week. Everyone is always super nice, and helpful. The store is always well stocked. It’s a small grocery store, but it has everything I need.

This is the worst store I’ve been to. I received exceptionally rude service from a cashier and when I confronted the manager about it, the manager simply shrugged it off as her having an attitude problem. This happened all while the cashier was yelling at the manager to «send her home, she didn’t really care.» I’ve never seen such poor service before. I went back a few weeks later to find that the cashier was never reprimanded for her actions. They lost all of my business. I’ll be at Safeway and Whole Foods from now on.

This QFC feels appropriate if you need a quick coffee (they have a Starbucks, no hot food though) or if you need a specific, generic item.
I got salmon from here and was kind of grossed out by the fish in general. It was falling apart and did not look appetizing. I asked him to dig out the bottom most filet (whatever one looked the best). It smelled fishy which is never a good sign, we cooked it immediately and it tasted «okay». We had the Wild caught King.
For classic staples or a quick hit and run this is your spot. For more selection on proteins or organic produce I would head to the bigger store down the street or Whole Foods.

Much smaller than the flagship QFC across from Bellevue Square. That said, the staff is very helpful and friendly. However, given that I live less than a block away from their other Bellevue location I mentioned, I’m not sure I’d be a regular at this location. If you are looking to come in however, their parking lot does offer ample amounts of free parking.

It’s an older QFC with small check-​stands in the Clyde Hill neighborhood. I only come to this QFC if it’s on the way to where I’m going because it doesn’t have as many options as the other QFC in Downtown Bellevue. The hot food area is really limited. The deli counter is small. Like I said before — I don’t really go here unless it’s en route and I need to get something on-​the-​go. I would never get all my groceries here.

QFC isn’t my all time favorite store, HOWEVER, this QFC is the best! All the employees that I come in contact with are SO friendly and helpful. This is a smaller store, and that’s how I like it. One of my favorites is Bill. What a great guy! I absolutely love chatting with him. He’s been married over 55 yrs. to his wife, and is genuinely happy and still so much in love. I admire him so much.

This is my neighborhood store, and the place I go to pick up a thing or two quickly. They have a good florist and good prices on roses (happy wife, happy life!). The checkers are friendly and efficient, but there’s no self checkout. Go to the much bigger QFC across from Bell Square for more selection.

Great location… Super clean. Great customer service. Vegetables are so fresh. They mark down salad and mushroom packs if they are more than a few days old. When I buy those markdown items, they still are very fresh and great to eat even days after I buy them. That means they keep stuff super fresh. I am a fan.

Nice store, the food is always fresh, stuff is very friendly.

I like this qfc because theres a starbucks inside and the staff is friendly and helpful. They also have good produce!

My regular pharmacy closed down a few years ago and my prescriptions were transferred to this store. The pharmacy staff is pretty friendly, although I wish the hours were expanded. Since the store is close to my office, I drop into the Starbucks some mornings. Sometimes the line is so slow, I leave before I have had a chance to order. The service is okay, it is just super slow!
The store itself is odd, the selection is not at all like what you would expect from a QFC. When I refer to this store as the «Fake QFC» people seem to know exactly what I am talking about. If I go in for five items, I expect to find two and the store consistently lives up to my low expectations. I try to remember that and avoid this store, but when I am stopping in at the pharmacy or the Starbucks, I want to limit my stops. I remind myself to think of this more like a corner market than a QFC, then I am not disappointed.

*Conveniently located next to a Chevron-fuel+groceries=good
*they occasionally have a bargain bin for good cheese marked down crazy low, look for it
*always friendly checkers/​staff

Staff is always helpful. I love the fact that there is a Red Box to rent movies at here. It’s a small QFC but plenty to offer.

This may be the nicest QFC around and it has great meats, fish, produce, wines, etc. and equally nice employees. They are improving their organic selections which is a good thing. Their bakery is mediocre and the parking can be challenging.

Some may say it’s small, but this place is well-​located and is just the right size for where it is. Sure it doesn’t have the all-​encompassing selection of its larger siblings, but it’s there to service the meat and potatoes (literally?) of grocery shopping in the neighborhood.
I split my time between here and the bellevue village location depending on what direction I’m coming home from and what I think I need. If it’s just chips and milk or something and I’m on 520? I’ll hop the extra exit and come here.
Staff has always been friendly and willing to help you out (I got some unfinished french bread to take and bake at home once, yum!). The renovation has been positive, but I will say I miss the little coffee hut that used to be outside the entrance, grrrrr on the starbucks.
ALSO: They have an on-​site pharmacy. The bellevue village location does not. This is good if you happen to use supermarket pharmacies.

i’m smack in the middle, same equal distance from this one and the kirkland one. and i hate both of you. but what am i to do huh? seriously though. i don’t want to bad mouth any specifics, but damn you are so rude! i even had my relatives down and they had to shop here and they were appalled at the service. seriously, ive always said, if you hate your job, then please don’t make me suffer. or you’re just a jerk, either way i’m pretty sure that’s not what you’re getting paid for, so why don’t you put on a frikkin smile and get a serious attitude adjustment.

Ah, Bellevue… my hometown. I bash it constantly and it richly deserves it. But even if the searing heat of the Sahara, you can occasionally find an oasis and this store is that for me.
This is a pretty good modern approximation of a 1950s neighborhood market. It’s not the glitzy superstore of their Bellevue Village location or your local Whole Paycheck or Bellevue’s «new» Safeway, which is really nothing more than the average, cookie-​cutter Safeway inflated with a lot of fluff. This is a grocery store with a little heart, a lot of personal attention, a staff that is genuinely friendly, and a layout that makes it FAR easier to use than their larger and splashier stores. Shopping here is relaxing, quiet, unhurried, and easy. If their selection is a slightly-​abridged version of the larger markets, it’s fine with me. They recently did a remodel and somehow managed — even with the omnipresent Starbucks inserted into an awkward corner — to not rob the place of that small-​town intimacy. Yeah, you won’t find some things here that you do elsewhere. If I really NEED packaged buffalo, different dog foods, or an obscure Spanish Tempranillo, I can go to the Bellevue Village store or I can just go to Pete’s. But for the core of our food needs, this is FAR less of a teeth-​grinding, in-​yo-​face-​yuppies, parking lot-​derby store than other Bellevue markets. And the ironic thing is that, in terms of the «see and be seen» habits of the majority of Bellevidians, THIS store offers far more «star sightings» than any of the others. I frequently see Edgar Martinez here, assorted Seahawks and Mariners, and even, one magic (?) evening, Bill Gates.
As with any great store, the best feature is their people. They’re unfailingly helpful, diverse, intelligent, and friendly. And their tiny deli, IMHO, does a MUCH better job with the QFC prepared foods than any of the other locations I’ve visited.
This is a tiny, quiet island of sanity and good humor in the midst of the ocean of Bellevue pomposity and glitz. I frequently fear they’ll close it and try to drive me to their store next to Bellevue Square. If the QFC management tries that however, I’m ready for ‘em.
After all, there’s always Kirkland…
