Houghton Center

I’m not sure what was higher the prices or the worker shambling their way around the parking lot herding shopping carts.

All of this grocery store is a bit pricey. They have unique items that you can't get elsewhere. Their produce is outstanding. It's one of those stores where you get what you pay for.

Parking can get hairy but the grocery store and the dentist are my go tos

Foodies unite! Metropolitan Market is located in all the chi chi neighborhoods, and they have great food. Their deli is the bomb! I can't afford to eat and shop here, though. I had a coupon for Alaskan cod, and I still couldn't walk out and pay less than $32. I appreciate the quality, but PCC is a better market for budget conscious food snobs.

This center is a good one-stop shop for quick grocery, drugstore, bank, or Starbucks visit. I don't live near here but tend to stop after a run on the Cross Kirkland Corridor if I park on the south end. Metroplolitan market is a bit expensive for our food budget, though on this visit they had huge strawberries for $2.50 each, must have been an influx/excess. On this same visit, I saw a yellow pepper for $7.99/lb, so there is that, too! Starbucks is relatively busy, the staff are friendly, and I can nearly always find a place to sit and visit for a bit. The Bank of America has been "temporarily closed" each time I have tried to visit, which I find funny......again, not my normal go-to location, so no big deal.

Amazing food at servi bar, they have every day different meal, salad bar always there so you can make your own, overall not too expensive, very fresh and good food. Definitely my go to place for lunch almost everyday when I'm feeling lazy to cook at home. Great customer service as well as cleanliness.

Their produce is superior to most any other grocery store. However, don't expect the other departments to hold to that standard. I purchased a deli turkey dinner and the turkey was so tough I could not chew it. Interestingly, the dinner included mashed potatoes but no gravy. From now on, only produce from Met Market. My bank account will thank me for not wasting money on items that are below standard.
