Lenny's Produce — Attraction in Seattle

When I first came here, I honestly did not think anything of it. If it weren't my for my fiancée, I would have never found this place. I am so glad I did! This place is a gem! You can find high quality produce for a very cheap price. For example, Kale at Safeway or Fred Meyer usually costs around $1.99+. Kale here is either 79 or 99 cents. Cucumbers are buy 3 for a $1 and 5 pounds worth of carrots are around $2. All prices that you cannot find at your typical grocery store. You can also purchase packaged foods such as noodles, along with an assortment of common and hard to find spices & sauces. There are even some hard to find items such as aloe vera, bitter melon, plantains, enoki mushrooms, etc... Some negatives to this place is that the facility itself feels like you are in a garage (it is essentially an outdoor stand) and they don't have any organic options. The parking is also pretty difficult if you come around 5pm.

Overall, I go here once a week to get produce and I am very pleased with my purchases here. I've gotten to know the staff here and they are really friendly. They will usually put all your food in a box similar to Costco or you can ask for a plastic bag. If you plan on using a card, keep in mind it's a $10 minimum.

The best grocery store in Seattle! Lenny's is an institution, and the best place to get fruits, veggies and many other things for great prices in an efficiently-used, no frills space. Another bonus is that you can get in and out in 5-10 minutes because everything is so close together and the check out is always speedy. Lenny's also carries eggs, tea, many baked goods and sweets, Eastern European stuff including preserved meats, pasta, and assorted Asian condiments, and rice and dried beans. Almost everything you need except fresh meat and milk! (Grab your milk at the convenience store next door.) I've been coming here for nearly 10 years, and been an increasingly happy customer...

Great little mom-n-pop place. Their prices for fresh fruits and veggies can't be beat and their selection changes regularly as things come into season. They also have a great selection of international favorites and packaged snacks from all over the world. I love that you can get ripe, ready-to-eat fruits here instead of the green ones from the grocery store that you have to wait to ripen. Unfortunately, the don't currently carry organic options but maybe that will change.

I typically walk here but they do have a small parking lot so quick trips are easy.

They have a $5 min to use a debit card and $10...
