I have been going here for about a year now. I would have written a review earlier, but the name is not one that sticks out. This has got to be one of the BEST delis i have ever been to. They have organic stuff, affordable wine, environmentally conservative options for cleaning and personal hygiene. salads, bagels with enough creme cheese (unlike almost ANY other place in this damn city!) and to top it off, it is owned and run by the NICEST family. the first time i went there, the man was singing (tunelessly) some 80's pop tune, and it made me so happy! the husband and wife have a sweet teenage daughter and the three of them, to my knowledge are the only people who ever work there. they are always sweet to me, and i am constantly trying new things for lunch! i still want to try one of the small deluxe cakes the have there...

This is not your ordinary downtown grocery/deli.  No sir.  When I am feeling under the weather, cruddy, or run down, this is my stop.  It's not too far away, they have a selection that consists of more than just junkfood, beverages, and old stale food.  This place has oodles and oodles of organic foods, healthy teas, and juices that are just right.  More pricey than all the other corner groceries, but that's because the goods are higher quality.

This is the most impressive grocery/deli I have ever been in. Other than fresh fruit , veggies and proteins, which you can get at 'the market' you may never need to go to another grocery store. The wine selection is solid and deli sandos are delish and reasonably priced.

When I moved to Seattle and couldn't find the supermarket(s), Ellington Grocery & Deli coupled with Rite Aid and local restaurants provided everything I needed.  It cost some money, but what to do.... when you need stuff, you buy it.

Since I found out where the supermarkets were hiding my frequency level sort of simmered.  But I went there today.  And you should too.

In the mood to try something new.... look around.  There's something for everyone.  

Fuze Healthy Infusions is new.  Ellington Grocery & Deli has it.  Sure.  

I had a Fuze today.  

Orange Blossom White Tea with Natural Antioxidants and These Essential Vitamins.  Those things shouldn't ever be fake.  

It was ice cool and smoothing.  And a change from coffee.  But if you want that, Ellington Grocery has it too.

Do you feel a diet coming on?  Ellington Grocery has fresh carrot and celery sticks.  Yeah.

Toliet paper... Charmin and Quilted Northern.  Napkins... Paper towels... something for Breakfast... something for lunch... a microwave dinner... or a bottle of wine for a little romance.  There's something for everyone.  Did I say that already?

Entertaining and not wanting to do the dessert yourself?  Ellington Grocery has Raspberry-White Chocolate/Peanut Butter-Chocolate/Lemon Bar.  The gourmet stuff.

Have them make you a sandwich or buy it all and make it yourself.  The option is yours.  

I could go on and on, but I'm sure you get the point.  If not, here it is, "I want you to support Ellington Grocery & Deli".

Even if you just want a little something for pet.

It's a small business.  Owned by a nice family.  They're my friends.

I hate to admit it...but I pretty much never go to the grocery store....Ellington Grocery & Deli IS my grocery store....for being pretty much a convenience store...it does super well. I have no complaints. I think I probably go here at least 3 days a week. I don't even think it's that over priced and they have pretty much everything I need except fresh fruit, veggies, and meat!!!

After an early dinner and a wander downtown, I was walking back to our hotel with former Seattle resident and fellow Yelper Jeremy P. We had a bottle of wine back at the hotel and wanted to see if we could find some cheese or other "nummies" to go with it. We see this little shop, that basically looks like your slightly-cleaner-than-average downtown liquor store from the outside and wander in, not really expecting to find anything.

Holy gouda, batman. I think we've found the Mothership.

This is like a top-notch gourmet outfit - they had a great selection of cheeses, plus an impressive array of wines. It seemed like every aisle was it's own gourmet wonderland of delight. There was even a little case of individual desserts that looked like they'd come from a top-notch bakery. Plus, they had a lot of the regular stuff you'd need at a corner grocery place - water, toilet paper, milk, asprin, etc.

We asked the guy behind the counter if it was his shop and told him how great we thought it was. And then he gave me a free piece of chocolate!

Bah. You Seattle-ites are so spoiled.
