Frank’s Quality Produce

This is the Nordstrom of Produce stands. Amazing customer service and outstanding quality. The prices are hard to beat — you always know that you are getting something fresh and delicious. Find Chaz he will set you in the right direction and get you the best of what they have.

Fabulous produce and even better customer service! Mike is the best. We were visiting the area, and came back every day. They set the bar high for produce in Pike Place.

I’ve been going there for years and I was never disappointed with the quality of produce I got. Buy fruits and vegetables that are in season and you will be amazed how delicious and affordable they are. Chaz has taught me a lot about how to pick the good produce and now I’m so picky I cannot buy produce from any grocery stores. So, definitely love this place.

I’ve been going to this place for YEARS and yes, I haven’t yet given them a review. You need to go here. Dave (my produce professional) knows his stuff, except for figs and mushrooms, the two things he will not eat… then I head over to Will (my second go to) and helps me with all of my produce. He will tell me what is good and always asks me when I am going to eat or use whatever I am buying and picks the appropriate ripeness for me. He is quick, yet doesn’t make you feel like he’s pushing you out the door so he can move on to the next customer.
They will have some exotic fruits too, like dragon fruit and guava and passionfruits… so give them a try! But for my basics, Frank’s always has what I need, and takes care of me with fun staff that know their stuff. Oh, and you can to tourist and «interesting character» watch while you shop… as well as listen to some great music (even country at times, if you’re so inclined.)
Can’t go wrong with fresh goodies, and Frank’s Quality has it all for me.

I’ve been shopping at Frank’s ever since I moved to Seattle 9 months ago. Safe to say, it is the best fruit and veg store in Pike Place Market. The guys are helpful, good fun and the produce is excellent!

We have loved Frank’s for years. It is pricy but it is totally worth it. Ask them what is good and they answer honestly. Not sure what to get, have a taste. We have never been disappointed.

I live in Seattle and, if you can believe it, I have not been to Pike Place Market in over a year. Traffic and expensive parking keep me away. Anyway, decided to suck up the parking fee and traffic and head to the market!
Franks is awesome! I bought a few oranges and let me tell you… these are the best damn oranges I have had. very sweet and yummy! The price for 4 oranges came to 5 bucks and some odd cents.
Service was great and very friendly! Will return.

Kinda disappointed in this place. I stopped by to get some veggies and fruits of the day. It was getting close to 5 and in the process of packing up for the day and was able to get some stuff before they close. Bad idea. I told the guy what I wanted (I think he’s the owner) and he seemed like in a bad mood. Well, when I got home I wasn’t very happy with his selection. Some of the fruit had lots of gashes on it. I know he was in a hurry but geez. There are so many other fruit/​veggie stalls that it’s easy not to come back. And I’ve been here multiple times for my fruits and veggies.

Just came home with the best assortment of produce today thanks to Chaz down at the market. Everything picked for me was so ripe and delicious. I will be back shortly for more. This has easily become my new favorite produce stand.

I can seriously just live here or something.
I love the guys here; very honest and are more than just willing to help you pick out the best selection of fruits! Loved the honeycrisp apples, taylor pears, and the satsumas.

Veggies are so fresh! The guys are entertaining. Fun, healthy and inexpensive place to buy your daily veggies :)

We are from Texas, but my fiancé and I stop by the Pike Place Market every time we are in town. Out of all of the produce joints along the way, we happened upon Frank’s. Chaz is the man… knows his produce and will be incredibly honest about the quality… good or bad. The Asian Pears were some of the best I’ve had.

Not only does Frank’s produce have THE BEST fresh veggies and fruits but the staff make it easy and fun to shop for your weekly produce. Been coming here every Sunday for over a year and have never been disappointed. Seek out Chaz, he has always been helpful and will choose only the best products for you. Chaz is also always a laugh a minute. Enjoy!

Super friendly and sweet people who work here. I asked for two super delicious pluots please, and that was exactly what i got. They were dripping juicy goodness (mind out of the gutter please). I wish i had purchased more. It was that darn good. I will definitely be back to this stand for fruits in the future. Though there are many spots to choose from at Pike Place Market, I’m glad the strawberries here caught the hubby’s eye. Bookmarked for future visit! Keep up the good work guys!

Fantastic visit. I have been downtown for a good couple years now and just had the best experience buying produce. Friendly help, even introducing me to everyone that works there.
Recommended what was ready to eat and also telling me what was not ready to eat. Willing to order anything special I might want if I give them enough notice.
Even had good things to say about the other stands in the market.
I am vegan and put down an insane amount of produce, so they just landed a good customer who will spend a lot of money.
Oh yeah… and the produce is great.

Incredibly honest.
«Hey Chaz how’re the strawberries today?»
«Terrible, get the raspberries, they’ll change your life.»
«Okay.»
This is essentially how every transaction happens here. They’re brutally honest, and it’s SO refreshing, especially in the market where other people are trying to sell you produce that’s going bad so they can get it off their shelves…
A breath of fresh air in the market, I suggest going even if you’re just there to chat with Chaz.

I’m going to keep this short and sweet…
Frank definitely has the freshest produce, and it is of utmost QUALITY! The fruits and vegetables here are all fresh and reasonably priced! Friendly people everywhere, plus yummy fruits = YES!
I did get to try the Opal Apple (which was the best apple I’ve ever had), and even brought some back home to Las Vegas!
Why don’t we have this in LV?! Wahhh! SEATTLE’S BEST!

Three years later, I still go out of my way to buy my produce here.
Frank’s Quality Produce carries quality produce at reasonable prices, although that is just one of the reasons why I prefer to shop here. What I love about shopping here is the service this place provides. My favorite person to purchase from is Chaz because he is more than happy to give me suggestion on alternative vegetables/​fruit to use if I can’t find what I need. He also provides great cooking and preparation tips, which has further my interest in cooking and trying new veggies. Even when I make it 10 minutes before they close, he has always encouraged me to take my time since the place appreciates all the business they get. Even when he is not around, everyone that works there is extremely kind and helpful. I just found out during my last trip that if I want to mix and match deals to not hesitate and ask if they can accommodate to that request.
Even though there are other grocery stores or farmers markets closer to my neighborhood, none of them can beat the quality and service I always get from Frank’s Produce.

Frank’s loves it when a plan comes together.
Stroll into Frank’s with a couple of sausages and a half an idea, and you’ll walk out with a menu plan, a bundle of ingredients for it, and, depending on who’s working there that day, maybe a tip for a good wine to go with. The staff are friendly and engaging and always eager to suggest things or answer questions anywhere from «What’s awesome right now?» to «I need something comfort-​food-​ish but not starchy to make with braised lamb. Or maybe roast chicken.» Oh, or one of my favorites: «Make me want salad.»
So yeah, I heart good, fresh, whole foods, and the produce here delivers. It’s always of great quality and lasts a good while, so you can shop not just for tonight but the rest of the week, too. But what earns the fifth star and keeps me walking/​riding/​scootering back here even though I work in the unfashionable end of downtown a ways from the market are the knowledgeable and helpful employees. So keep up the banter and the thoughtful service and the ideas on what to do with a good rutabaga!

Delicious fruits! Super friendly — great service. They even helped us select the ripest fruits!
