The atmosphere at Marketime Foods is what truly makes shopping here a delightful experience. Maggie B. describes it as peaceful, a stark contrast to the overwhelming big-box grocery stores most of us are accustomed to. As you browse through the aisles, you might just find a new favorite—like Luke K.'s beloved breakfast tacos from Sunrise Tacos, which sell out fast, so be sure to get in early!

I call this the "Bougie grocery store" in the neighborhood. I can get a few things here I can get at PCC or QFC. And I really like the in house salsas and pork they sell in the deli. Great selection of wines, beer and craft alcohols. Hence, why I call it the bougie store. Easy parking lot too.
This is a cute grocery store that we're lucky to have in the Fremont neighborhood! It is a bit pricey but you're paying for fresh, local food and supporting a local business instead of a giant big box grocer, so I think it's worth the spend every once in a while. The layout of the store is nice and I always feel at peace shopping here whereas larger stores sometimes stress me out.
Stayed nearby in an Abnb on a recent visit. Great little store to have in the neighborhood. Prices didn't seem too bad. Great liquor selection, stuff I can't usually find back home.
This is a to store to get in and out quickly. I like their pre-wrapped deli sandwiches and frozen pizzas. It is too high priced to buy groceries everyday, but for small items that I need last minute, it is great! The wine selection is good and reasonably priced for a small corner store.
I love this place! The only improvement would be dedicated bicycle parking. I'd shop now often if I had a secure place to lock up.
I LOVE this place! I live about twenty minutes northeast from it and still sometimes come all this way because it's so cute, the people who work there are so nice, and it's an all-around lovely place. Lots of prepared foods in the deli and they feature bread from local bakeries.
A great well-rounded selection of staples, and higher-end local stuff. Yes, if you did all of your grocery shopping here it might be expensive, but I stop in mostly for the following - The sauces! Such a great selection of local hot sauces, and I was really excited to see they have Kewpie mayo and Bachan's Japanese BBQ sauce. - House-made soups. It's soup season, so I've been stopping in for these for a while now. I particularly love the creamy tomato. - The deli, but particularly the breakfast tacos! They carry tacos by Sunrise Tacos, a great local company. The Mt. Bakon taco is my favorite, but be sure to get here before 10 as they sell out! - Great alcohol selection, especially the beer and cider.
Cute friendly, neighborhood market. Nice how they have an index card box for keeping track of your coffee purchases. Fresh locally grown fruits and vegetables, wild caught fish and bakery items. Great place for picking up dinner or groceries.
