Super 1 Foods — Local services in Ellensburg

I've shopped at Super 1 since moving to the Burg in 2010, and have never had a less than stellar experience there. Many of the kind and friendly folks who work there were there way back then. They're like old friends. The store quietly participates in many community efforts. Going to the fair Labor Day weekend wouldn't be the same without their famous bargain lunch cooked and served with flair by Super 1 employees. Produce is nice and fresh. Good selection of meats and seafoods, with tasty offerings that are made in-house. The grocery department is well stocked and they are really good about making sure that sale items don't run out on the shelves, etc (S1 does issue rain checks if they do). The natural foods department (called Huckleberry's) offers a good selection of natural and organic products, foods, supplements, personal care items and home care supplies. There's a nice bulk section there, I've never had an issue with having gotten stale stuff from the bins. One can find wonderful creative specialty items. Bakery is exceptional, with the best donuts in town. At the deli you can pick up the best fried, baked or whole baked chicken in Ellensburg, the pizza is very good and fresh whether you buy it baked to order or premade you pop into your oven. The deli also makes incredible sandwiches created as you like them. This store doesn't have a rewards program, but they don't make you have a card in order to get sale prices. Overall, their prices are very good. Sales are really sales. They have amazing 12-hour sales where you can get fantastic deals in the meat department, breakfast and school lunch box items, produce, etc. They're themed. Definitely the place to do your holiday meal shopping, they really go all-out for them. Store is clean and...

Well I'm not sure where to begin in this review, I like so much about super 1. I have been a life long shopper ever since they open the doors so long ago. One I can say without any questions is the bakery department! The worker who I'm forever grateful to is Leslie, I'm not sure about my spelling of her name, but she did a fabulous job writing on my loves Birthday cake. She.loved it and again thank you to Leslie, and all those other people who work at super 1 foods. The ladies that work in the bakery and have as far back.as I can remember still make the best homemade cake frosting and the softest, moist, fluffy and tasty cake and cupcakes I've ever sunk my mouth into. Oh and the pasties and donuts are in the same category as well. Anyways I'm never gonna stop asking for that frosting recipe til they retire or I die. Thank you for all your years of services to our community and thanks to all the other employees who work so hard to serve...

Always my first choice for day-to-day grocery shopping! Super 1 simply has the lowest prices and best sales, and I haven't ever run across any quality issues. There's nothing "premium" about it. It doesn't have the warmth of some chains, or a cloistered kind of layout, nor any kind of "local market charm," but the utility is all I need in a grocery store. This location just expanded their "Huckleberry" section, which is specialty / bulk / gluten-free alternatives, and they are remodeling some shelves, which shows a progressive management. I also enjoy seeing familiar checkers here, who seem very content, even happy with their jobs. There's a line at the hot 'n ready section at lunch time, a (somewhat expensive) quality bakery, and good drip coffee for $1.20 w/ free refills. Produce and meat departments are excellent. The location is a bit remote, which is probably why it isn't ever crowded, but I happily go the extra mile to...
