QFC Quality Food Centers

This place for me is descent, I will come back I have come here with family, but they all agree with me, this place needs some major improvements, the dog food selection isn’t really that great and I’m a dog person, I am also a people person so the people could be more nice, just yesterday came in with a family member and they asked the self check out manager or whoever they are for help on a check out item and they completely ignored my family member how rude, I would sure love to see them be improved as well or something like that

The deli folks are great, friendly and helpful. The meat dept. Folks are great, we exchange recipes. And the cashiers are friendly and cheerful.
There are usually some sketchy people on the corner but I’ve never had them come over and bother me.

QFC has been my main grocer for roughly a year now. They are a typical grocer with nothing remarkable to offer. I’d say half their staff are friendly while the other half seem to be just there to work and don’t converse much with customers. The main thing I’d complain about and the primary reason for me giving them 3 stars is their produce. My husband and I have never seen a place with such poor produce. His oranges are «funky» about half the time, their celery is rubbery, bananas split after just a couple days. Basically, it isn’t great to start with and much won’t make it half a week at home. If your not particular about produce or don’t intend to buy produce they are a good, quick option.

I am never that impressed with QFC. I think it is trying to be the high end Kroger store. However, I prefer Fred Meyer over this place any day. It is interesting that the grocery product mix is slightly different at QFC vs fred Meyer. For instance, they carry my carbonated waters, Le Crox and fred Meyer doesn’t (so annoying)! They get one star for LE Crox and one star for boars head meats and cheeses (fred Meyer has board head too). Other than that, these places are over priced when compared to fred Meyer and certainly don’t have the higher end products that you find at Haggen, central market, or whole foods. I prefer to take the longer drive to Haggens for groceries and go to Fred Meyer for things like laundry detergent, paper towels, etc because the prices are better. I do understand I would probably get even better prices on that stuff at Costco… but I don’t need that kind of bulk supply. I am in a two person house hold. I could also sell my soul and go to wal Mart… but I haven’t sunk that low yet. Bottom line, this place is doable in a pinch. However, life is short… treat yourself to seafood from central market and double r ranch or snake river farms beef from Haggens.

Just OK. Sometimes sketchy people here

sketchy sketchy people hanging out in parking lot after dark. approached for money, had to dodge skateboarders, etc. inside the store is very nice, well stocked and friendly enough staff.

They have a machine that checks not just BP (Blood Pressure), but body fat, vision, hydration, and BMI !!. Though BP may be up from seeing their prices. In one sitting I could eat a whole container of their fresh Kroger baby spinach right from the package. They have buffet-​style salad section which makes me drool. Many specialty cheeses & wines. But unless there is a rare super-​sale, I’m too cheap to shop there. I buy the basics, and usually buy them elsewhere.

This store is not safe.

I went to QFC because I had heard they had a decent selection of non dairy products. I found that they had a better selection than whole foods. That’s the one star. I collected my items, caught 2 employees talking about some «shitty» employee that just lost their job… Classy. I didn’t have a card so my infant daughter and I stood at customer service to get signed up. A handful of employees walked right by me without saying a word… Even what appeared to be a manager (different shirt than the other employees) walked by and didn’t say anything. I couldn’t stand there all day waiting to be acknowledged so I left. I wish they had acknowledged me… It’s so hard to find non dairy items… But I refuse to spend my money where employees won’t even look my way.

I don’t usually go to QFC since their prices are higher than anyone else. That being said, If I need to just grab something real quick, this is like 5 mins from my house. Yes, some of the people that hang around here are sketchy but that is most of Broadway for ya. Safeway is 1000 times worse.
Bakery has an okay selection. Deli, never ordered anything from it so I can’t speak on it. Meat section is really small but get’s the job done if you are looking for your standard fare. Produce section is pretty solid and you can get some good deals if they are having a sale.
Never had an issue with the staff but I usually use the U scan since I am competent enough to do it with no issues. (Not everyone that goes here is, and don’t take 50 items to it, Now you are just being annoying)

I come here a lot. Everett doesn’t boast the finest grocery stores. I feel unsafe at most of them (I’m looking at you– Broadway Safeway!) but this one is on the lower end of shady, for Everett at least.
Besides being not as shady, the produce is pretty solid. I eat a lot of fruits and veggies and can’t bring myself to buy them from Safeway because of the abundance of fruit flies. The staff is also very friendly (on their own they’re five stars). They remember me and the bakery lady is always happy to give my beautiful daughter a cookie. Bonus points– she’s always present to hand out said cookie (I’m looking at you– Safeway on 41^st).
The selection could be better. It’s QFC so I expect a little bit of higher end stuff. This location as far as QFCs go doesn’t have a great selection and does not compare to the ones I’m used to in West Seattle but it does have a nice cheese section. The selection of desserts in the bakery is lacking but it’s a pretty small store. I wish they had more bottles of kombucha and a bigger yogurt selection– Safeway wins those two hands down.
The parking lot gives me the heebie jeebies but they’re pretty good at minimizing the loitering.
Uscan is available for the mornings when no cashiers are working or when you don’t feel like interacting with people.
In summary, for Everett this is a good place to shop. The prices are a little high but it’s more comfortable to shop in. If this location were in Seattle it would be two stars due to shady characters and lack of selection but because it’s in Everett and better than most– four stars.

While QFC is not my favorite grocery store, this store is closest to my place of employment so I have been shopping here for a long, long time. I’m happy that it is 24 hours, but do find the outside area can be a bit sketchy as the evening goes on. I do like that there are 2 redbox machines inside as the other ones in this part of town are outdoors and not so great to use after dark. It also has a starbucks attached which makes a trip to the grocery store much more pleasant. I have been impressed by the increasing size of the vegetarian options recently.

The Store itself is pretty «Stuck-​up» and Expensive, The STARBUCKS is why I go!

If you want the best produce in North Everett, you have to go to this QFC. This QFC is always packed with customers and you have to know there is a reason for that. I would give it 5 stars but the panhandling in front gets old.

I have this weird thing where I like to make up stupid nicknames for stuff. Therefore, I pronounce QFC as «Quiff-​schee».
This Quiffschee is kinda middle of the pack as far as Quiffschee’s go. They actually sell Kombucha at this one, a little less than competing markets, and they are the only place I have found locally that carries my very favorite flavor– Gt Synergy’s Passionberry Bliss. Other Quiffschees in the area dont seem to carry the ‘booch. In fact, its the only place in Everett downtown that I can get it at (haven’t been to the co-​op yet but i imagine they might have it.)
Their donut (doughnut? dog nut?) selection is meh. They say «Top Pot» on the glass case, but they don’t taste remotely fresh. Or like pot.
They have a bigg (ish) deli section, which is grossly overpriced. Still, they have awesome Artichoke Jalapeño dip, which will do in a pinch, when there are no Kristin C’s around to make it for me.
Prices are kinda high on some stuff, considering it’s a Kroger chain, and the other store (rhymes with red flyer) seems to carry more of a selection for significantly less than this store. BUT– Quiffschee does have pretty good prices on bottled Micro’s, compared to another local store that rhymes with «chafe-​gay».
I come here a lot because my current victim lives a stone’s throw from here, and we both kinda lament coming here, but we still do, because of beer and Kombucha selection and price.

As stood in line the other day, I listened to the checker tell the bagger how stinky his gauges were. To clarify… gauges are the way that hipsters express themself (or copy others) by streching holes in their ears. Apparently his smelled. Sadly I’d rather go with stinky checker than the self check out. I’m gluten free so I’m stuck going there as a neighborhood store, however everytime I go, I spend three times the money and receive one third the service of other stores.
Don’t go grocery shopping early in the morning, they only have self check out available and when you are buying $ 200 worth of groceries it will only ruin your day.
I hate stores that rely on self check out.
Nick V– I am gluten free because I’m physically allergic to it, I’m not vegan. I no longer use QFC I use Everett CoOp which is much more deserving of my money. I’m not snobby just have food allergies and don’t like people talking about what is a hygiene issue while ringing me in, like I didn’t exist. No need to debate gauges… though I also do a lot of hiring in my professional life and gauges are a nice way to say «I don’t care if I have a job». Unilocal is an open forum for reviews not a place to argue about someones experience… I’m guessing you work here? And have gauges?

Looking for a above average Grocer with quality produce and friendly staff. Got neither. I think in this area Safeway is the way to go, still got to find and try a Fred Meyers. Anyway, usually cashiers give a friendly smile or convo… nope not this place. Maybe wrong time, wrong place, who know I wont be back. Local store can keep their locals, I’m going either smaller to a farmers market if available or bigger to Safeway or Costco.

Was very nice to have a place on the West Coast to use my Krogers card! It had a nice, familiar, feeling to it, but was even better than the Krogers I’m used to in Columbus. Deep selection of higher quality food, amazing selections of chocolates, and a nice (but small) selection of flowers.

I have to disclaim that I am writing this review from the point of view of someone that has Celiac Disease. I have to eat gluten free foods, as eating wheat, barley, and rye will hurt me. I use Cecelia’s Marketplace Gluten-​Free Grocery Shopping Guide, available on
, to help find cool normal foods, too.
With all that said, I was happy with how clean and organized this QFC is. There always seem to be an abundance of staff to answer questions. Everyone is friendly. When I can’t find something, they take me to where it is.
For the gluten free eater, they have all sorts of cool stuff, in abundance. They have a gluten free products throughout the store. A small selection of pasta, some quinoa (Yum!), and cookies, crackers, and whatnot. The baking section has some GF mixes. They have frozen GF waffles, and whatnot, too.
For a regular old grocery store, there is a lot of GF options. It makes shopping easier than at some of the other regular grocery stores.
I heartily recommend this store to anyone else that has to eat gluten free.
