Reviews of District Market (Fruit Store)

Artem Rotar

The prices are high but it has a great selection of snack foods and bomb breakfast sandwiches if you get there early (they go quickly). All in all, good place if you're not on a tight budget.

Ian Reandeau

It's your place to get food on the Ave

Shane Squire

Most unreasonably overpriced grocery store I have ever been to. The food selection is good though.

Charles LYLES JR.

It's a great place for students. They're very good on having items there for you if you need a quick bite to eat.

Richard B.

Have to really watch the prices, since some products are grossly overpriced. However, there are also some "gems" that save made this my go-to place to buy them.

Groceries

Andy Tan

lots of stuff( including local stuff), but way too expensive.

Amanda Patrick

This is a rebuke of District Market management rather than the store itself. In the past 2 months I was checked out by 2 different cashiers who did not understand American money and could not give me change without my help. I am not faulting the cashier but I am faulting management for their poor job of training.

Ben Holme

There are people who like fresh burritos too that are not vegan

Mary Kennedy

Nice selection here, including fresh produce. But everything is VERY expensive and overpriced. Good if you have to use up a food plan, though...

Matt

Nice place for UW students to get groceries with a fairly wide selection of foods to choose from at good enough prices. They even have cleaning supplies, hair products, and stuff like that for students who need some dorm essential that would prefer to spend meal plan money on non food yet still essential items.

Evelyn Olson

Great place to pick up lunch or a quick snack or coffee near the UW.

James Wang

Great place for UW student to buy grocery with the dining account!

Ali Abu Al Saud

A bit overpriced

Kyle Yan

Really convenient for UW students.

Lemmear Johnsont

Good experience, great desserts and pretty much affordable prices.

August Samuel Honnell

Classic example of price gouging college students. The DM charges way more than other near by corner stores. Here are some examples:

Vega Shah

Not great, slow service and there's rarely room in the cafe for seating

Arihan Jalan

Super expensive. The Dollar Tree shop right up the Ave kicks it in terms of affordability, the Safeway and QFC located a 10 minute bus ride away have much more choice, and the only thing the DM has going for it has location- it's quite near the residence halls and has friendly staff and is a good way to burn through your dining money, but otherwise, if you're not a UW student, there's no reason to visit it.

William Cao

Definitely not the cheapest place to buy food, but they do claim that most food and produce are organic. Inside, there is the Husky grind, where you can buy coffee and pastries. You will also find a large amount of breads, junk food, and sandwiches. There is plenty of frozen foods near the back of the market as well as a deli that serves hot food on the weekdays.

Jonathan Taylor

Decent selection and one of the best places for food during the weekends. Everything seems to be pretty expensive though.

Heinrich H

the groceries are generally decent, but they're all over-priced. only go here to spend uw dining money (which is a scam). other than that, go to Safeway or QFC instead.

Kayli Robles

Can find a lot here. A few things they dont have but I wish they did: normal chapstick (not just medicated), pickles, dry shampoo, and packs of water. I'll probably add to this list over time. They just dont have a ton of things college students want and need.

Kennadie Selden

Kind of expensive, but so convenient. Pike Place clam chowder is my favorite, and the soup is always fresh. They also have a good candy selection for those late night munchies.

Westin Miller

Fairly high prices but decent quality food for on campus dining. Great place to acquire materials if you are on a UW dining plan and prefer making your own food.

Tim Seaman

Good selection for a small place. Expensive but it's the best option for students with a dining account.

jesus gutierrez

Overpriced but a reasonable amount of variety available

Ying Lin

store is located in a convenient location but food is way overpriced. Would not recommend

Zoshua Colah

Over priced.

Shaun Kuo

Small grocery store with Asian options, slightly overpriced

Isaiah Tongedahl

It's fine.

David Carli-Arnold

The DM has a nice selection of products, but it is very expensive. It's the best grocery store to spend your UW dining plan money. The Husky Grind cafe is also the best coffee on campus hands down.

Cristina Arias

Everything is marked up, hope it's going to fair wages

Jen Hsu

Great place for UW folks to buy daily use items and groceries.

Pierre Delcourt

Not Cheap

Raymond Doerr

20$ for 2 pounds of turkey and potatoes Very expensive

Shea Engle

Crazy prices. But not bad if you already have a dining account with HFS.

Corbin Griffin

Just a fantastic little market. there's not much more to be said.

Julia S

This is a well designed on campus store! Loved the fresh options but found the overall selection disappointing. Good idea by UW but it seems it was poorly executed.

Alex Hennis

Excellent breakfast made to order.

justin moegling

Pricey

Emmy T

Really expensive and they wrap their bagels in this crazy pseudo-bondage of cellophane (more like hell-ophane) that's seriously like Fort Knox. Ripped it open and the salmon bagel went flying and onto the floor.

Jianyang Qin

Great atmosphere. Insane prices.

Franklin Furlong

A good place to buy food for home and wait for the bus indoors

David Hewett

Overpriced; essentially a monopoly.

Lisa DeBose

Has what need, a good selection, although a little higher cost. Food is good, service friendly and helpful, which is good as they get busy, lots of students. Also great as they're right in front of the metro bus stop so you can get it to go :)

Kel Drake-Sargent

Expensive, long lines, and not worth it. I feel sorry for the students who are over-paying for groceries.

Artin Monghate

Clean store with a decent selection. But crazy prices. I feel bad for all the poor college students who are getting ripped off by shopping here... only buy small things you absolutely need. Never come grocery shopping here.

adan amnestyprojectkilla

Terrible prices

LuffyWesley

The District Market has a nice but small array of food choices. It is expensive though.

Eric Poon

A good selection of groceries for it's size. Prices are a bit high compared to food items of the same type at other stores.

Kayla Panganiban

Overpriced

Ga. B

Walked in to get something but the prices are way too high for me to feel okay buying something here

Jordan Poling

Horrible prices. Horrible service. Unfortunately): I’m my opinion

Kaitlyn Sweeney

It's a sad overpriced grocery store but it's probably the best place to get food from if you're on a dining plan

Ben Sorochuk

Prices are absolutely insane, $4 for a bottle of Gatorade? I could get that for 70 cents at a regular grocery store

Amit Dey

Convenient store near university. 10% off if you bring your bike and show it.

Sailesh Sivakumar

Exorbitant prices. Definately not recommended for groceries. This place should serve as the last resort. The proximity of DM to west campus dorms forces college students to pay lots of money for overpriced items though. HFS has really gone too far.

Taylor Herring

Great coffee and good selection of food - prices are a bit steep though

Melinda Yang

Uw hfs is the biggest scam. Only go here to spend the required money u have to put into a dining account. We need to start some petition or sth

tristan brown

Love this place

Zachary Williams

Good selection for a small market, but very high pricing!

Misty Burns

Fast friendly service! Espresso, food and snacks!

Gino Prodan

It's got most of the essentials, better for university students needing to make a quick stop

D W

Student grocery store with full retail prices. Pretty much all the essentials are available. Meat case is actually very good with quality protein.

Jacob Huber

Think smaller Whole Foods + convenience store. I appreciate the attached coffee shop.

Emily Dangerfield

Great produce and meat but huge mark up on everything else

Yash S

The prices of certain items is high, but great grab and go deli and Hot case

Kate Evans

Overpriced

Colby Crouch

The District Market is a great place to get fresh food and some basic groceries during your stay on west campus. I may be a bit biased as I was the first chef there and love the place with all my heart!

Colin Kwiecinski

Incredibly expensive

Brian McGinley

Kind of expensive but a good way to use dining account money

Martha Flores

Overpriced.

Update: Quality and availability of the hot bar and lunch options took a slight dip when classes started back up. Simple but tasty options were replaced by more exotic sounding, but uninspired, options. Coffee is bitter. Prices aren't anything special but it's clean. Decent value on packaged lunch food, and the bulk almonds are pretty good. The hot soups are sometimes quite good, and always reasonably priced. Only problem is they only have two pots.

Sequiri Leute

Works for college essentials but prices are very high for those who pay with actual money and not a dining account.
