Friday Harbor Market Place

Friday Harbor is a fun place to walk around and visit. I will caution you though that during the middle of the week it is quite a sleepy little town. We found most things were closed by 5:00 p.m. or never opened at all. This included restaurants.We did find lots of great little shops to just peruse and some great coffee. The atmosphere itself is just scenic and unbelievable with all of the beauty that surrounds.

I just love all the different foods they have, stuff u can't find at the states I've lived. I do have to say it is higher pay but there if u look will fine something. Also the people as in workers they make me feel like either they don't like there job our don't care for new people coming around, that's to bad cause it shows.

This is the "Safeway" of the island. All your basics except no deli counter, although they do stock some premade sammies and salads near the produce section. They do offer some local goods as well! Great selection of beer and wine, many Washington based. All three San Juan Island based breweries represented (especially important to this beer lover) here as well.

One word... Spicy chicken sandwich. Ok three words.All of the sandwiches are fresh and tasty.Don't forget to walk through the imported goods while you're there. The secret candy tip of the day.. pickup a couple of the black licorice caramels in the big jar on the counter.

Friday Harbor Market Place was very easy to find. Close to Friday Harbor Suites that we stayed at. Clean store inside and out. Fresh fruits. (Strawberries are deliciously sweet) and veggies, with a huge bulk area. Found everything I was looking for this evening. Very friendly checkers. Pleasant experience.

I find it sad that this marketplace does not have the infrastructure in place to support customers bringing their own jars or containers to use in the bulk section. I feel like the whole point of the bulk section is to reduce plastic waste, and that bringing my own container should be natural... this is a commonly accepted practice at many other stores, even encouraged and celebrated! But when I went to the marketplace today to do this, the first cashier did not know how to tare my jar. I went to another cashier and she told me the jar was .55 pounds. When I went to the bulk section to fill my jar, a staff member was working there and she said, "Can I ask why you are using a jar?" I said, "Because I don't want to use plastic." She said, "You'll have to pay for the jar too." I said, "No, I already figured out the weight of it." "They won't accept that up there," she said, indicating the cashiers. "A cashier already got me the tare weight," I told her. The woman then basically rolled her eyes and said, "Good luck." I felt like I was doing something wrong. Gratefully, the second cashier who got me the tare weight of the jar was able to help me check out, but she had to use her phone as a calculator to figure it all out! I'm very grateful she helped me do this, but I feel like this should be so much easier, and it seems clear to me that this company does not care much about reducing waste or encouraging this kind of practice in their store. I would love to be proved wrong, but until then I'll be buying my bulk stuff at the co-op in the future (where they already have jars waiting for you with the tare weight written on top). I would give this experience one star, but I'm adding a second because of the wonderful woman who used her own resources to help me make this purchase. Thank you!

Marketplace does a great job at bringing in groceries that serve the community needs. They are open to suggestions and have an organic selection (fresh and packaged) as well as options for GF and vegan. Check the freezer for GF bread. Friendly.and helpful staff.

Prices are way better then kings. And way less crowed more selection of food. People are way friendly. Good vibes and you carry a Jones Soda 😊💕 and Dr. pepper Cream Soda 👍👍👍👍👍💕❤️I did see a blonde haired girl about high school age and she was smoking a vape or nicotine pen while collecting carts. I know the girl is only 16 and shouldn’t do that and especially on work grounds and if she did at least hide it

Nice big grocery store. Not fancy like the King's market down the street, no deli, but big and great for staples

Great store. Not a local but my dad retired to the island. I can always stock my dad up with health food.

Smaller grocery store in the area, but is pricy. Relatively decent selection of items (signature, Tillamook, Lucerne, fruits, veggies, snacks, and more.)

Market place is great when you want to avoid the traffic and tourist. My experience recently was fabulous, they were out of an item I had purchased the previous month and noticed that they had been out in the weeks that followed. I asked someone in the meat department and she escorted me to I believe a manager and he explained that they had been trying to get that same product and recommended another but the following week I went and the product I had originally asked for was fully stocked in the freezer section. Hallelujah! having kids is difficult but finding the foods they love is even more difficult so This truly made my day thanks Marketplace for listening and fulfilling to my request.

This is the cheap alternative to upscale Kings market. Good deals in the fall. Prices are surprisingly high, Quality surprisingly low, but it's important to only let one person own the markets in Friday harbor. It's how our county rolls, take care of the few at the cost of the many.

Such a great market. I am rom out iof town and spent an extraordinary amount of time exploring all the interesting things the market has. Lots of organic and washington based products.A definite plus plus rating.

4.5 stars: FH Market Place has a great selection of Organic and conventional produce, very reasonably priced. They offer the usual name brands along with a a diverse selection of Natural foods, gluten free, dairy free, specialty and gourmet foods. The shelves are well stocked, store is clean and you can usually find an employee working in the produce department. One wish for the store would be for the staff to be ourgoing, friendly. They are not rude be any means; However, you the customer has to be the one to initiate the conversation, cheerfulness.

Pretty good selection for a small town. I was able to find everything I needed. Sadly I didn't know they closed at 6pm on the day that I arrived so I had to wait until the next day to go buy supplies. But I just went and had dinner at a local restaurant. Everyone was very nice the two times I went in to buy groceries.

Costs have gone through the roof. I have stopped shopping here entirely. Being as the only grocery stores on the island are owned by the same people, you have a price gouging monopoly. When it's literally cheaper to do a fancy meal service shipped weekly to your door than shopping locally, thats a really, really bad sign.

The grocery prices definitely beat those of its sister store Kings. Friday Harbor locals tend to shop more at market place, especially during tourist season. Checkers are not as friendly, and offer no type of customer service.

Even as a tourist on the island, I was impressed by this grocery store! The diversity of products was perfect and the staff was very friendly. I was disappointed it didn't stay open later, but the hours seem reasonable, considering the location. I wish this store was in my local neighborhood!

Amazing selection, very clean and well stocked! The workers were very friendly and helpful!! They also have reusable plastic bags at the check out which was a wonderful surprise!

The organic selection is sparse and when it comes to produce, the quality seems as if the product was the leftover selection, often wilted, bruised or otherwise undesirable.Where this place excels is in the quality of the service, the people are wonderful, they call you by name when possible. The inventory manager will order practically any product you request.

Great grocer. Nice fresh produce, flowers, wine, spirits, bulk goods, great butcher, and an entire section of the store is dedicated to health/alternative foods. Love this place (closed on Sundays). Happy Sabbath!

Off the main tourist area so not super crowded. Good selection of items, fresh produce. Downer is the hours. Banker hours and closed Sunday's. Don't take amex, but neither does kings.
