PCC Community Markets - Burien Co-op

Update 11/27/2023 I had to revert this store from Four to Five Stars. Thanks to Emma, I got a pizza replacement. ======= PCC is a decent market for organic vegetables, fruits, and drinks. I usually go for their thin-crust supreme pizza. A whole pizza is like $18.00, and it feeds 3 to 4 people. There are a good amount of goods in the deli department. Some are pasta, steak, tofu, fried or baked chicken, olive, and tons of good cheese and salami. There is so much good stuff. You will not be able to walk out of this market empty-handed. I would have given the market five stars, but I had my burnt pizza in the past. I did not check until I got home.

Most of the markdown is the prices you know that they're really lame on their you know their sales are not that good and their pop is really atrocious they don't have any soda to speak of its decent I mean unless you're a ginger beer fan that stuff is I can't even talk that the best part about this place is the location it's really I could go on the freeway but it's not like I'm I'm in any big hurry there's no use to bother people on the freeway that have to get somewhere you know in yeah I'm cool with this place except for the pricing and you know some of their you know they need a couple of decent pops. Butler bakery stuff that's where the two stars came from their bakery stuff is really good.

Mostly organic products, good produce selection, good deli selection, nice salad bar, hot bar is expensive but good selection, customer service is hit or miss except Carol up front and MaryAnn in the bakery. Those two are awesome. There are a couple of people in the deli who are nice but a lot of times you stand there and wait for someone to notice you. At times produce is hit or miss. We've bought lemons that looked good outside but smelled off and were turning brown inside. I recently picked up two sweet onions the same day I was cooking with them. The one I cut was bad inside. I didn't bother cutting the second one, just composted both. You can return items with a receipt within 30 days that aren't up to par but for me driving back to Burien for a lemon or two onions isn't worth it. The tap kombucha in the bakery rotates flavors and is really good. The bakery also has cheese/egg/meat breakfast sandwiches on cheddar biscuits or one w/o the meat. They're pretty good size and convenient. They have Custom Pure filtered water @ .49/gal. As you can see from the photo it's filtered pretty clean and that price is a great deal. A lot of people have heard PCC is expensive. I don't think it is. You have deals there just like the other grocers in the area. And for the most part the quality is great. **This is the only thing I truly dislike about PCC-the deli will smash and pack as much into your container as is humanly possible. Even if you ask them not to if you aren't watching they will. I learned the hard way.
