Top Of The Hill Quality Produce

This place is a hidden gem. High quality everything, great seasonal produce, love the fish store, and the cheese selection is quite lovely. A little pricey in some spots but very worth it.

Best little market ever with the most amazing butcher, fish monger and a variety of amazingly fresh produce!

You know, I think about this place a lot and really like that it’s there, but now that I’ve been living out here in the sticks for a couple years I find that I just don’t shop here that much anymore.
Don’t get me wrong… it’s cute and convenient with nice staff and they certainly do have things you can’t get elsewhere… but it’s become incredibly expensive. I know ALL food has become more expensive, but this place is out of control.
I do shop here when I need specialty produce or I’m entertaining, but I just am not going to pay those prices for my regular weekly shops.
I’m thrilled to see that QFC now carries the Grand Central sliced Como bread — this is one of the things that has drawn me into Top of the HIll almost every week for several years. But QFC sells it for $ 4.59 and it’s $ 5.99 at this place. Zoi yogurt is $ 5.49 here and $ 3.99 at QFC. Hell, I wanted to grab some grapefruit a couple weeks ago and they were $ 2.50 per grapefruit. I got them for $ 1 at QFC and they were just a big and tasted just as nice.
Don’t be fooled — if you read the tags/​labels you will find many things here that are the exact same producers that Safeway carries.
Anyways, I do really love that this place exists, love the staff, love the cuteness and I love that I can come get some delicious seasonal items when I really need to impress. But sorry, I just can’t pay $ 3 for one peach as part of my regular weekly shop.

I’ve been complaining about grocery stores in Renton for years and I have finally found the place to go! I can’t believe I have never been here. Fantastic selection of wines, seafood, fruits & vegetables and so much more! The service was great as well, everywhere we turned someone welcomed us, offered to help and smiled at us. That’s right, someone in a Renton grocery store smiled willingly. I’m in my own personal heaven right now.

Don’t know why it has taken me so long to write a review but I love this place — will go out of my way on the weekend to pick up my produce and fruits there. By far the best fruits — when it says «sweet» on the sign, it is no joke! Never been disappointed.

I’m in heaven. Produce, meats, and seafood all in the same place. And it’s good! A tiny little treasure in Renton.

Top Of The Hill Produce is an excellent place to buy local produce. Their prices are slightly cheaper than the QFC down the road. It’s fresher, ripe, basic choices, and an excellent meat/​seafood department. Fairly decent customer service. Your organic choices are your standard basics. If you buy by the bunch or the bundle you get your money worth.

Fantastic quality! Prices are pretty high. Customer service was excellent. They were very friendly and helpful. I’m only knocking off one star for the prices.
I don’t expect them to be as low priced as grocery store, but I think they were even significantly pricier than the butcher we often go to.

Bar none, the best place for fresh organic veggies. They have a bunch of specialty items as well. Fresh crème fraîche, breads, etc. my kids are always stoked to go beciad wit means that they get to pick out honey sticks. Mmmm

Love this place for fresh fruits and vegetables. Prices are barely more than the large chain markets and totally worth it. People are great, especially Eric at Shawn & Ted’s.

I have purchased produce here from time to time for convenience when I was visiting the butcher and the fish store that are in the same space (they are 3 separate businesses, so this review is just for the produce store). I give Quality Produce 3 stars for very high quality of produce (much better than supermarket), not-​bad prices, and friendly service. However, it’s minus-​2 stars because the selection of organic produce is just so limited. Generally speaking, if I’m going to pay extra for quality produce, I want organic, so there just isn’t enough for me to make a special trip here for just the produce.

I love the Top of the Hill Market! I mostly come here when I need ingredients for a nice dinner (i.e. when someone else is going to help me eat the dinner… HA!).
Its a little pricier than the grocery store, but the produce is the absolute best. Don’t even get me started on their devonshire cream either (on strawberries — yum). They also have an extensive seafood section. I’ve had their crab cakes a couple of times, and man are they good!
Note that the seafood is a separate vendor than the rest of the store so you have to pay separately.

Just moved to Renton from Northern California and have been trying to find a good natural food store here. Top of the Hill got good reviews online so I decided to give it a shot this week. I was pretty disappointed, I have to say. It was TINY and the selection of all products was pretty limited. And I was very disappointed that there were very few organic options. Maybe 20% of the produce was organic. I picked up a head of red leaf lettuce and, when I was cutting it up for a salad that night, I found it was already going bad in the middle of the head. I also picked up a couple free-​range chicken breasts and I don’t think I’ve ever paid that much for chicken, not even in California!
I give Top of the Hill two stars for service (everyone was very friendly) and because they carry raw milk on certain days of the week. If I can’t find another raw milk connection around here, it’s nice to know that I can get it here. However, if it wasn’t for the raw milk, I would not come here again, I’m sorry to say.

Love this place, it’s really close to my boyfriend’s place so we go here almost every Sunday.
Produce is amazing. Recently, I’ve bought some strawberries, yellow peaches, organic carrots. What I really love is the fact that they have locally grow items like
asparagus from Yakima.
My boyfriend loves buying oysters, I love the crab cakes.

Nothing beats fresh fruit and vegetables. I can not stand going to QFC or Safeway and buying old produce. Top of the Hill really does offer Quality Produce and it’s why they get my business. They offer many unique vegetables and fruit that are difficult to find. Employees are always happy to say hello and are very approachable. The prices are also equal to or less than the grocery store. Their scope goes well beyond produce, however. In addition to quality produce, Top of the Hill has partnered with many local groups to stock other products, including Issaquah based Gemini Fish Market, Seattle based Grand Central bakery and Kent based Smith Brothers creamery. They also have an onsite butcher. I highly recommend Top of the Hill for pretty much any quality food product.

Love, love, love this place! It’s close to home, and the employees are super friendly & helpful. Happy, small town corner store feel.
Produce is always top notch. I’ve never been dissatisfied. They have a good selection of awesome natural grocery products as well. (I don’t love the bread though)

This is a wonderful place for produce. The owners have a history of selling at Pike Place Market and seem to be really good at picking and presenting product for sale. The location on busy NE 4^th St is especially easy to get to from Issaquah, Newcastle, and all parts Renton. I’m sometimes drawn in by the signs they put on the street advertising their goodies from Yakima and other local and WA places. The selection of breads, cheese and dairy, a few wines, and other products is a nice touch, and (they share a roof with a meat market, if you are so inclined).
The quality of the produce is consistently better than at the neighboring supermarket, and not much more expensive. One improvement that I would like to see, speaking of expense, is an itemized receipt for my purchases. Granted it’s a small, almost open-​air market, but there have been times when I would have liked to know, by item, what made up my bill, especially on those days when I spent $ 35 for my delicious produce :) It would be easy to have human error at the checkout stand, and there would be no way to detect it. They take credit cards (I think the minimum is $ 10).

This is where you go for real produce in the highlands. Growing up in Yakima you become a snob when it comes to produce. This place has the best and it’s priced right. I saw honey crisps at QFC last week for $ 3.50 a pound, the market had them for $ 2 per pound. Fresh herbs are cheaper here and better quality. If they are sampling fruit, take a piece and you’ll end up leaving with it. They are friendly, promote local produce, and will always have my business.
2 things to always search for, mango tango apples, and crimson pears.

The produce looked great, I spent $ 30 here even! Everything smelled so good, there was a TON of fruit flies but that is kind of to be expected with an outdoor/​open air produce market. The lady at the register wasn’t terribly friendly but she wasn’t rude either.
I’d go here again over Safeway or Albertsons by my house.

As good as it gets. I feel like I’ve got a little slice of Pike’s Place meets a farmer’s market right in the Highlands. The produce is fresh and with the fish and meat markets you can get just about everything you need in one stop. Everywhere you turn there is some amazing quality product, from the San Marzano tomatoes (think authentic Margherita pizza) to Demetri’s Bloody Mary seasoning to an array of local wines, this is the grocery shopping, the way it should be. It’s all about quality, it’s all about authenticity here. It’s small, as well and that is perfect compared to the giant overwhelming chain supermarkets. In, out, very quickly you’ve got what you need for a local, fresh dinner… or lunch… or breakfast.
