DID YOU KNOW THEY DO FLORAL ARRANGEMENTS FOR WEDDINGS?Well, they do AND they do an amazing job. I worked with Olena and she is so professional! Her vision when it comes to floral arrangements is amazing and she provides her work at such an affordable price. I needed a new florist a month before the wedding and she delivered! Look no further if you live in the area and need flowers for any event!

WAY overpriced. Seriously, this store is so expensive, even compared to other β€œhigher end” markets. Drive to the co-op or to the Met for a higher selection of goods and much, much better deals. It’s truly a bummer because I live right next door and it would be so good to have a good grocery store here…..

I live in this part of Tacoma so its great to be able to go to a nice grocery store without driving all the way to Metropolitan Market. They have gorgeous flowers as well as a coffee stand just outside the front doors. Their wine selection is pretty fantastic for the size of the store. Overall, I love this market!

It was fine. Not familiar with store but everything was easy to find and check out was quick and friendly. Compared to where I typically shop it seemed a little spendy though.

Extremely over priced in my opinion when I can go to metropolitan market and get a lot of the same stuff but better. I will say the stars they got were for their cheddar broccoli soup I got the day I stopped in.

The chiropractors knows what they are doing, but the billing and front desk are lost. Incorrect name on account, months of payments I didn’t know I had and I didn’t receive anything till I got a letter in the mail for none payment. Not sure why I filled out my phone number, email, and address for them to get it wrong and place the blame on patient. Will they fix your health issues? Sure, but not worth the hassle of the billing and front desk. Maybe try a place that will get your name correctly.

They are over priced and they treat people like garbage Im a student from the highschool and witnessed them kick a man out who was paying because he looked homeless he was dressed a little nicer than I was. I also witness them harass a student in 2019 for not wanting to remove his hoodie (not the hood the jacket) upon entry I understand theft prevention but treating people like trash because they look lower then middle class is beyond disgusting. Do better Tacoma.

Stadium Thriftway grocery/deli store is one of those wonderful slightly hidden gems that we have in Tacoma. While not as huge in size as some larger retail grocery stores, dont let that fool you! This grocery/deli is busting with everything under the sun, with higher-end foods elbowing the macaroni, a full-run meat department with a smokehouse (!), not to mention the very tasty deli section (best breakfast sandwiches ever, among other things!). To top it off, the employees of this cool place are actually REALLY friendly, and go out of their way to help. Highly recommend!

Typically I love Stadium Thriftway, I go almost everyday and recently my husband went to grab groceries and at the register, he ran his card and it pulled from our bank(it shows on our phones) but not on their end. The employee basically kept saying I dont know what to do for you, they ended up calling other employees over to tell us the same thing. When we asked for a manager they claimed they all were and they couldnt help us if we couldnt get it to go through on their end. We ended up paying for our groceries we couldnt take home.

I like it here. The people are pleasant. Well not the guy in the back near the meat, each time I’ve gone in he goes to the back...weird right. But hey I guess people have their preferences of who they want to interact with. The people at the deli area are marvelous! Always there to take your order and has a clear understanding of social cues so it’s easy to browse without felling pressured to make a quick decision. Good is good and seasoned well. Keeps me returning. Oh and the security guard is sweet too! Four stars instead of five, well because the of prices. Sorry guys!

Review β„–15

It’s iffy coming here! I love the quality but the employees seem less then happy to be there. Almost every-time I go to the deli section the employees are rude and unhelpful. I feel as if I can only go in at night when Anna and Alyssa are working in the deli to get service with a smile! The morning team is the last way I’d choose to start my morning. If you want service with an attitude and them making you feel as if you are a burden then yah come here. I have been going to thrift way for over 10 years now and haven’t felt this way till the last year or so. Never gave a review thinking it was the person and the day but it continues to show that the employees no longer care for the customers or their jobs. Less then happy with the way my breakfast sandwich was made πŸ˜‚ but I guess if sloppy was the goal then it’s great

I’m all about supporting local business, but this places prices are so expensive!! They are like double of what they should be. Other then that I love it and think it has a awesome deli and prepared food counter. Meat market is great as well. Would have given 5 star but those prices are just so high it’s crazy.

Review β„–21

I have been going here since I was a toddler, the deli always has amazing stuff. The store is always super clean and organized. One thing I will note is one of the older ladies in the bakery/deli area straight up ignored me and wouldnt even look at me when I told them what I wanted (yes it was my turn) she got the order wrong right in front of me and I told her I wanted another thing please and she handed me the bag IGNORED ME AGAIN AND LOOKED PAST ME LIKE I WAS A GHOST.. Until another very kind and attentive worker stepped in and grabbed the item for me. Thought that was kind of rude it made me feel kind of bad since Ive been going here so long and never experienced that. Also I noticed a review on yelp said something exactly like me about a lady at bakery/deli ignoring and making people feel bad. Maybe you should look into that πŸ‘€

Review β„–23

This store carries a little bit of everything so you dont have to drive off to a larger grocery store miles away. Prices on some items may be a tad higher, but this is a locally owned store in a precious location so for me, its worth it. The staff are always friendly and helpful. I always walk to the store and while the north side is very pedestrian-friendly, the entry through the parking lot can sometimes be stressful. Always pay attention!

Nice people. Very friendly and you can almost always find parking on their parking lot because they make sure it’s for customers only. πŸ‘πŸ˜„Stuff is expensive here but it’s a neighborhood grocery and you’re in and out so consider the value of your time and sanity. It’s not Costco.

I don’t do my regular shopping here, because I think the prices are a little high. But I frequent the deli on my lunch break and it’s my favorite place to get a sandwich. Everyone does great, but for some reason Carla makes the best sandwiches. Several of the cashiers know me by my first name and Cheri and always goes out of her way to greet me and be extra friendly. I have also tried their soups, tacos, and bakery items- they were all fresh tasting and delicious!

I work near this grocery store and it is a great place to stop by! It’s a smaller local grocery store but they have a lot of options and a good deli. They are have their own coffee stand and often have a special event going on such as brining in fresh seafood or having an outdoor BBQ.

Review β„–49

We go here frequently, as the location is convenient. Yep, prices are higher but the staff is great and their hot/prepared foods & deli are very good. Employees are always cool & receptive to questions. Their produce is pretty fresh and they have a decent array of vegetarian frozen dishes for my GF. The coffee stand at the entrance makes good joe and their baristas are cool. For those that are concerned, they seem to have taken covid precations seriously and baskets are wiped down, sanitizer is available and employees seem to follow state required protocols. I don’t do β€œbig” (eg; multi-cart, several bags) shopping here, because of the higher prices but it’s perfectly fine for popping in for produce or a hot sandwich or snacks. They have tons of good cheese and a compact but decent selection of craft beers. It’s also convenient as Mud Bay petfoods is just around the corner.
