A great selection of food enhances by great customer service. I love this place. Not my "every day" grocery store, but a great place if you're planning a special dinner party or want to grab a dinner-for-one on the fly.
We've known the Attar family for almost 20 years! Beautiful family, great chefs, wonderful stores! Congratulations on 4 years in The Pearl! See you this afternoon������
Great unique market! There are various interesting foods and products you don’t normally find in other grocery stores. They have nice outdoor seating and a small cafe inside where they serve wine as well! Was very happy to find the butter I’ve been searching for so long too🥲
I LOVE this market! I work in the neighborhood and have been coming here at least once a week for the past couple of months since discovering it. Reasonable prices, EXCELLENT customer service. A couple recurring purchases have been the house made chocolate cake and prepped salmon and rice dish. Won't be returning to Whole Foods since finding this gem.
one of a kind store! fresh food, ready-made breakfasts, lunches and dinners! top notch staff! prices, as before under capitalism, are not corrupted by the ideas of socialism. who will be nearby come in and see how cool everything is here!
They had fresh squeezes orange juice which was made right in the store itself. When I couldn't find a particular hot sauce that I liked the staff spent a long time searching for a suitable replacement. The sauce that they ended up giving me actually turned out to be MUCH better than the one that I was first looking for. I also really appreciated the extra time and energy that the staff spent on helping me, which they did even though it was almost closing time.
Cool market. Looking forward to soup season. Columbia River Sourdough fermented, reduced gluten bread is the best! Beautiful produce. Lovely cheese bar. Plenty of quality food choices. Definitely my kind of market!
Wow, I was looking at a property around the corner and stumbled upon this gem.
With so many things to offer, I realized I was having a bit of analysis paralysis and so asked the lady behind the counter what to get, turns out it was the owner and she was spot on with her recommendations. I later found out she's an iron chef to boot.
Mirna Attar and her husband John were both behind the counter making fresh dough together, it was quite cute.
The fried chicken with middle eastern spicing was incredible. The Greek salad was a real Greek salad, and the meat pizza dough was delicious.
Here's some background on the owners I found online..."John Attar of SW Portland's international grocery store Barbur World Foods, will occupy the space most recently held by Local Choice Produce Market come February. The 10,000 sq. ft. space will feature a produce department with organic options, meat and seafood section with a butcher shop, a chef-run deli and catering service (run by Attar’s wife and owner/chef of Ya Hala Lebanese Cuisine, Mirna Attar, winner of the 2013 Portland Iron Chef competition) and beer and wine bar for tastings and service."
I love this little store! The people are FANTASTIC! Super kind, friendly and helpful. I hugely appreciate that and hope they keep being awesome. Some of the specialty items can be a bit expensive but there's usually a selection. All of the usual items are fair or even competitively priced. I love their deli and produce sections. Everything is fresh and delicious. Cheers to World Foods being a staple despite the times!
Very clean, nice story. Lots of more progressively acceptable foods, (cage free eggs, organic items...etc) a bit spendy, but that goes with the neighborhood and you're getting better quality, in a welcoming comfortable environment .. Mediterranean deli too!! Baklava!
And let's not forget to mention the coffee/wine/hops bar, and the two nice gentlemen maning it ... 👍 😀 👌
I absolutely love this place. Would shop here daily if I lived here. Was cooking for the week and enjoyed this store immensely. Super nice people, great selection and fantastic coffee.
What a fantastic first impression. Went in with very little knowledge about cuts of meat and left with the most delicious cuts I have ever tasted. Rik was such a pleasure to meet. Super knowledgeable, kind, friendly and helped me overcome my intimidation of the meat world. That man deserves a raise!!!! I took everything he suggested and made the best meal, my husband was VERY pleased. Will definitely be returning and recommending to all my friends and family.
