Marlene's Market & Deli

I’ve been shopping at Marlene’s Market & Deli in Federal Way for 6+ years. Appreciate the convenient location near the I5 freeway, ample parking & customer seating, and the elevator located at the back of the vitamin aisles. I shop at Marlene’s mostly for the variety of organic and local selections rarely found nearby. With prices more moderate than other natural food store competitors. The kind, friendly, professional staff - like Joyce, John, others - make this a store I look forward to shopping at. Sometimes a short wait to ask advice - some customers can be quite chatty. But it's understandable. Sometimes a short explanation of one’s health journey is needed to obtain the applicable vitamins, minerals, and product selections. Looking just like their website photo’s, the 1st floor has nice selections of: fresh fruits & vegetables, dairy, breads, and bulk: snacks, coffees, teas, spices, grains, and more. But I usually start upstairs to place my order at the deli / smoothie bar. While waiting, I shop the soup & salad bar, and sections with fresh pre-made: sandwiches. Then onto the fresh baked goods, with pies & cakes sold by the slice! More health-focused than most other stores, it is more a market, deli, grocery store, rolled into one. Marlene’s, and helpful employees like John, are some of the reasons my health has actually improved over the years since I’ve been shopping there. Highly recommend: Great salmon cakes & samosas, Awesome pumpkin cheesecake slices.

It's a whole new world upstairs. Marlene’s Market and Deli is like a grocery store that sells natural food with a restaurant right inside of it. I have been to Marlene’s many times before but never realized there’s a deli upstairs. Glad I asked an employee downstairs about the fresh baked goods, and she directed me upstairs. All this time I thought upstairs is only for employees. That's not the case and I have pictures to prove it :) Boy, they got a salad bar, sandwich, and deliciously baked goods! There's plenty of seating for customers as well. Be sure to check it out the next time you're at Marlene’s Market & Deli.

Well arranged purely organic store, easy to find stuff you are looking for. Their supplements section is very worth visiting. Go upstairs too for beauty products. It's splendid. Did I say their prices are really fair and staff truly friendly too?

Love this store so much I go there even though I've moved out of town, but I'm SO DISAPPOINTED they have decided to close on Sundays, HALF of the 2 major retail shopping days of the week! This is a grocery store closed on Sundays. Makes no sense. I'm sure their revenue has suffered... I love to support local mom& pop businesses but I'll have to go elsewhere to find what I need WHEN I need it (when I'm driving through town, I make it a point to shop there...on weekends.) :/ Someone else is getting my money.

Excellent selection of at least 6-8 varieties of organic apples this fall found nowhere else in area. Excellent produce quality and hard to find items. I could not find brown rice flour in other natural food stores but Marlene's had it. Prices are rather high but selection and quality are unbeatable!

Love love love this outfit. When I don’t shop Costco for large quantity and great prices … and I don’t like the high prices of Metro Market … , I shop Marlene’s for organic produce, grains and breads at very reasonable prices. I just discovered they have a Tacoma store and cannot wait to check it out.

I love Marlene's so much! Really healthy and tasty foods and snacks as well as health and beauty products that you don't really find anywhere else! Really nice, quiet and calm environment, both inside and outside. I also love that it has two floors! The employees are always very pleasant and helpful as well!
