Market of Choice Belmont

I can’t get over how beautiful and artisanal this grocery store wonderful out door art galleries, crisscrossing vine shaded walkways the store is immaculate. Tried their oven fire pizza slice today farmers market special highly recommend checking this place out ! Friendly staff can’t wait to see all the seasonal next things on the menu

Avoided this grocer for a long time, even though it’s within walking distance. The pricing is much higher than New Seasons or even Whole Foods market. But, when buying strategically, prices aren’t so bad…and they have interesting selection and brands you can’t find another stores. Service was friendly and quick too

I really like this market, everything looks good and clean and nicely organized! We tried the sandwich, it was awesome, you can choose your own preferences, big pieces of meat with lots of veggies, ingredients, nicely wrapped! The tastes were great, fresh and delicious, so much better than a lot of cafes. More importantly, great price for the quality and quality of food! And they have a nice clean area upstairs to let you sit down and enjoy your food. The bakery has great desserts, we bought a chocolate cake, it was delicious! The stuff is very nice and friendly! The bathroom is so nice and clean and has big spaces! They did a great job with details that make you feel comfortable and happy coming here.

Market of Choice has a few items I love to buy at very reasonable prices , La Croix 12 pack, 2 for $8.00. Most only have 8 packs. There produce is lovely but pricey and their bakery is good. I love their Canoli's!!!

The cheese and "deli" counter might be my favorite sections of the store. There are so many tasty lunch treats. I love all the local products.

Apparently, I can purchase alcohol with a minor standing right next to me, but if I’m standing next to another adult who doesn’t have their wallet on them, I cannot. It makes literally no logical sense. We’re both in our 40’s so we are clearly nowhere near 21 yet still couldn’t purchase beer with this adult standing next to me, but could with a minor stupidest thing ever.

The staff here is top-notch, though I say it myself. 😉 lol We have Happy Hour in our Beer & Wine department from 4:00-7:00 p.m. Monday through Thursday; our food is amazing (especially for those looking for vegetarian and vegan options, etc), and we're the goofiest bunch of weirdos you'll ever meet. 😂

Nice market. Kinder people than most of this chain. But, This market has the nastiest parking garage ever. They need to have management work with whomever to fix it. Bum urine and old car oil and gasoline smell. It was hard to tolerate walking in and out.

Market of Choice is quite alright. They had what I was looking for. Good selection of organic and conventional produce. Speciality vegan items from soy milk to Ezikel bread with a range of assortment of kimchi. Good bulk section. They have a good salad bar, hot bar with vegan options, and sandwiches made to order with vegan option. They even have hot and ready to go tofu scramble breakfast burritos. Friendly staff and worth checking out to stock up on necessities if in the area.

It was my first time here, and I love that it reminds me of Whole Foods. Everything is quality stuff. I wish I could try everything in the store, it all looked so good. I love the hot food bar, though I didn't try any of it this time; they also had a cold bar, with lots of toppings for your salad. I tried one of their Italian deli sandwiches which was recommended by the deli guy, and a little bit of sushi. Also had chickpea curry with jasmine rice, delish. I'll be back to buy more. The employees were very nice and helpful. Their bathroom is very nice, and the upstairs seating area is awesome, they even have a fire place up there which I think they only turn on during the winter. If I could give them 10 star rating I would. Prices of everything were great, I've heard people say they're expensive but for the quality you get, it's actually decently priced.

Nice and clean store. They have a good beer selection and prices on beers are reasonable. Aside from that though, most things are really overpriced. For example, some frozen pretzels are $2 more expensive than at Fred Meyer. Lot of other things are way more expensive than they should be. Sauce prices are reasonable though. All in all, I'll come here for beer or if I really need one thing quickly since it's next to my apartment, but otherwise I go to a different grocery store.

I like this grocery store but over the past year or so the parking garage has gotten increasingly... wet. Like every pipe is dripping, including one that was labled "grease." These photos were taken on a warm sunny day. I have no idea why I have to dodge multiple waterfalls of hopefully potable water just to get inside the grocery store. They appear to have no intention of fixing this but there's no way there's not some code against this?

This is a good MOC and usually has a good amount of parking in their garage or off into the street if it's gonna be a quick trip. Their produce is very fresh and meat is top notch--locally sourced - definitely a premium store so expect margins to run about 10/20 percent higher than fred meyer but they've got more unique/hard to find items and sell A LOT of local vendors such as Snackleredge and courier coffee roasters! Their staff is always friendly and probably has the best hot bar in the city--miles better than new seasons and their grab n go burritos are absolutely bomb! Their sushi is an absolute disaster though i cannot recommend it--stick with Oragami Catering at new seasons for the best sushi

Ok MoC you've had the same "Seasonal Soups" for hmmm I think the past three maybe four seasons. There's so much you could do with the soups. But I no longer bother. Still love you MoC. Also getting a little bored with the deli cold case choices. A few items change occasionally but so much of it is same ole same ole.

Market of choice is amazing and their produce slaps. They have great selection of vegan food items, wine/beer/ cider and chips. There is great ambiance in the store and staff is always extremely helpful. Can be on the pricey side but you get what you pay for. Their produce is worth it!

The more I stop in, the more I have come to like this Market of Choice. Yes, some items are expensive but other items are high quality and have prices that make them a fabulous deal. I'm the type that shops at a variety of grocery stores since each has specific products I like. Market of Choice is now on my short list! Store footprint is smaller, which I totally prefer because I like to go in, get my stuff, get out. They are well stocked across all categories. The fruit and produce is gorgeous; meat & fish (sustainable) high quality; fine cheese counter has large selection; beer and wine area nicely appointed and stocked; ample bulk items; wonderful health products; bakery has delicious cakes, breads, cookies, fine chocolates, caramels & toffee. The premade foods are delicious - many come from local restaurants like the spinach pie from Hoda's. Lots of their chutneys and simmer sauces are also from local makers. I've never seen a jam and peanut butter section so huge & diverse! Wow! My favorite Lahvosh Heart crackers and Dare Chocolate cookies can be found here and that is reason enough to stop in! Can't find them anywhere else. Laughed when I saw frozen White Castle Hamburgers, a total blast from my NJ past where White Castle was as common as Wendy's. What I like the best, and this may seem strange, is that I can drop off my recycled bottle and cans at the parking garage entrance (call ahead to let them know you are arriving) and they process my bottles and tell me which cashier to go to for reimbursement. So much easier and less intimidating than standing outside in a line trying to get machines to take my bottles. This service alone has elevated my review to 5* and is now the reason why I will make Market of Choice one of my primary grocery store venues. Thank you for this!! They also have a coffee bar and an area stocked with the largest variety of healthy bottled drinks I have ever seen. The grab and go section has lots of yummy items and rows of Gourmet Take Away soups like Caribbean Callabo, Clam Chowder, Summer Vegetable Ratatoulle, Oregon Forest Mushroom, Curried Coconut Carrot Soup and more. I could live off this alone! Staff has always been friendly, once even putting aside the last 6 chicken and hatch green chili enchiladas, holding them for me until I could get there later in the day. While I live in SW Riverplace area, this market is the closest to me, other than the UnSafeway on SW Jefferson. I'd rather cross the Morrison Bridge to have a pleasant shopping experience here than go somewhere closer and not feel comfortable in the store. Now my rant and it's directed to customers, not the store: often I see dogs tied up out front while their owners are inside shopping. This is Portland, dogs go missing. Please, for the love of your animal, do not leave them outside - it only takes a minute for them to get snatched. I've seen it. I read about it all of the time. Makes me sad and angry when I see this carelessness. People, would you leave your child or wallet or laptop or car keys tied to a pole? If the answer is no, then please do not l leave your beloved dog out there! They love you and want to live with you, not on the streets. Don't take a chance, it's so not worth it. Your dog deserves better.

Suuuuch fresh produce! They have an amazing selection of hummus's as well haha. Everything here I want to buy and take home! They have a great selection of kombucha and also a wide carriers for ready to eat foods as well. Staff and check our cashier are super friendly and they always recommend some of the most amazing food and drinks.

Former goating area inspired the current moniker of Goat Blocks neighborhood and serving as anchor here is a brand spanking new Market of Choice! Alongside this new housing area are three new buildings and 247 new apartments. Gonna say that there are extremely fancy features here, including an exhaustive beer and wine room, fireplace upstairs to enjoy a meal, and labels of the finest purveyors I was greeted thrice by employees. Once by one of the chefs who transplanted from the Midwest. Enter underground garage on 10th!

They have locked the main entrance, forcing neighbors to walk a block further to enter and to exit the store. The street and garage entrance are dimly lit, and given the recent stabbing incidents around the Belmont store, I no longer feel safe shopping there. I wish customer safety was a management priority, especially given their relative high prices.

Absolutely beautiful store. Awesome selection of natural and specialty products. Clean, new and very well run. And really enjoyed the HUGE endcap display of my favorite ice cream sandwiches.... RUBY JEWEL!!!!

Perfect spot for busy professionals who want good food and drink but don't have a lot of time. Great selection of complete hot/cold meals to-go. High-end fresh foods for special occasion cooking. Must've had 10 meals from here in the last week while staying with our daughter and son-in-law and new grandchild in their apartment in Goat Blocks. We ordered mostly pre-prepared meals: burgers, pizza, Poke, hot food bar (Indian on that day), and cold sandwiches. Also sampled the charcuterie, cheese and breads one evening with a cold meal that we prepped from their components. Picked up bakery for breakfast and filled a few growlers. Pretty incredible selection of things to choose from. I don't think we had anything that we didn't think was well-done, though if I ordered another pizza I'd have the crust cooked just a little longer as I like mine a little charred. The only reason for 4 stars instead of 5 was their prices on fresh foods was high for everyday purchases. Don't get me wrong, the prices are in-line with what I'd expect for any high-end grocery, but if I just want to make burgers or grill a steak I'd go to Safeway. I expect this place to do very well as Goat Blocks fills up with renters. It is just so convenient to stroll downstairs and around the corner and pick up something for dinner. Their prepared foods have such good variety that it is way-tempting when you walk in the door to decide to not cook that evening.

5 stars for fanciness and meeting specific needs. When you start to feel like New Seasons is just not fancy enough, this is the perfect store. While some items are pricey (produce) and over-the-top-silly (premade quesadillas in the refrigerator aisle for $6) , they also have some good deals and specialty items. Many items really are the same price as a regular store. I, personally , can't afford to make this my regular grocery store , but I always have a good experience when I step in for something fast.

The 4 layered carrot cake I ordered was absolutely delicious for the very low $25 price point. I definitely recommend it!

Andrew, Omar and Erica are the best at the meat department! The prices here are cheaper than New Seasons for similar quality. It's obviously more expensive than Fred Meyer but not by much. I love shopping here Casey, Anthena, Jasmine and many more at the checkout stand have their own glowing personalities that make this spot unique. The uptop managers are the only meh part of this place because the like to walk around and pretend like they're doing something useful here. The produce is great, the meat is even better and the people that work their butts off here don't get paid enough.

I came for Burt's Bees face wipes and left with those, some nectarines, an insane bottle of hot sauce, and some water. The pieces of other fruit near the nectarines were moldy, leading me to believe they have some issues with fruit merchandising (if that's what it's called), as another Yelp review mentioned moldy produce, as well, though their selection of meat replacements is unmatched. It's a cool store, but it's a damn shame they aren't better with the fruits.

Love this urban store! Great place to grab breakfast, lunch, dinner or an anytime snack. The Bakery is incredible too-- take a look at what they have in the case for Thanksgiving! I got the mashed potatoes and Cranberries cakes, and am really looking forward to surprising my guests!

The best neighborhood grocery store around. High quality everything, beautiful produce and quality meats, but well-priced staples too.

If I could give zero stars I would. Upon entering this store for my very first time I was followed by security as I searched for a restroom and found it only to see there was a locked keypad and no employees in sight. I figured it was maybe like Whole Foods where the bathroom codes are printed on your receipts so I purchased a beverage and still no bathroom code available. I didn't ask the cashier because I was completely disgusted by the security guard who followed me around the store like a criminal or something. After my first time visiting I won't be back here because if a customer has to go through all of that and still not be able to use the restroom in order to actually be able to shop in the store without being in pain is just wrong. The store seemed to have a good selection of goods however I wasn't able to enjoy any moments in here. Will not be returning to this unwelcoming intimidating environment.

Love MOC! I came in browsing with my partner just to see what they had. I was curious about the size of the store, layout and any unique features they might have. I've been to the one up on Terwilliger and the one in West Linn/Lake O. This store is smallish, but it's larger than Terwilliger, I think. It feels about the same size as a smaller New Seasons, like on Hawthorne or Sellwood. Street parking was easy. We started in the fruit section and had some nice samples of fruits set out with toothpicks. We mulled over the price of rents in this neighborhood with how often you could come down and sneak samples. . .it might pay off! Another area we lingered in was the cheese/salami counter. The clerk was really helpful and offered to cut us a sample of anything. We ended up with 1-2 meat "bits" and 1-2 cheese "bits". The little morsel baskets are a good amount (just a few dollars) to try a new cheese. He was also accommodating without being overbearing about the types of cheese and what might be like something else (we asked about a Trader Joe's brie). The bakery looked lovely, with crusty type breads and soft rolls. We didn't end up with anything from that department though. The instore cafe looked okay but nothing stellar, I'd go back if I were in the area in the morning looking for coffee. We ended up getting a few bottled iced coffees to try, some cheeses and salumi (I think one was a foie gras, I didn't look too closely or eat that one). We had a nice time wandering and looking at everything. I think we might have grabbed a few small chocolates too. Everything was good (except the iced coffee, not their fault at all as it was bottled). Certainly couldn't shop here for everything ($$$) but it's nice to grab a few specialty items--esp in the cheese department!

Been waiting for this place to open since it's now the closest grocery store to where I live (the Safeway at 28th and Hawthorne was the previous winner) Stopped in here on Memorial Day, a few days after their opening on Thursday. I wasn't really looking to buy anything, just curious to see what the options would be. I don't do much grocery shopping, so was more interested in the prepared foods, and was glad to see they were similar to a Whole Foods with regards to having a salad bar ($7/pound), hot foods (I think it was $7/pound for breakfast and $9/pound for lunch/dinner), as well as a poke bar (I don't remember the price here, but it was expensive). There's a nice little bar area with 10, 16, 32, and 64 ounce pricing. I was pretty impressed with the local choices - beer choices on tap included De Garde, the Commons, etc, and coffee beans include Spella, Ristretto, Roseline, Dapper & Wise, Five Points, Upper Left, etc, but also surprised they had "standard" choices like Triscuits and Kelloggs - I feel like Whole Foods or New Seasons seem to lack the mainstream choices, limiting themselves mainly to high margin specialty goods and house brands. Butcher counter looked pretty good, with some good looking cuts, a variety of sausages (less than Sheridan's), and a solid looking choice of seafood. It'll be interesting to see if they're able to maintain this level, or if this is just opening bells and whistles. Not a huge grocery store and a little pricey (though I think inline with Whole Foods, New Season, etc), but the convenience via proximity will make it the spot I'm popping into when I need to make a quick stop, especially as it's on the way home for me, and getting something from the salad, hot food, or poke bars seems like a viable option . . .

Meat counter closed on Valentines Day?! I realize it snowed the past few days and you're short staffed however that's no reason to shut down your meat & seafood department. I saw 3 employees behind the meat counter doing who knows what(not helping me) At the very least keep the grab & go meat section stocked and cover your meat in the window with butcher paper as to not entice. From someone who worked in grocery for many years, MOC on Belmont has to be one of the worst managed stores I've ever shopped. You can't even get them to answer their phone most days. GTFO

Wow! Such a rude young 'man' as customer service representative. Ok, I get it, I look really, really young. But, I'm actually at least 10 years OLDER than people think, sometimes 15 if you can believe that. So, I was much this young man's elder. With that said, I came in here with an issue related to a product's quality. I wasn't treated very professionally, and dare I say scoffed at for simply asking about exchanging the product? Are you kidding me? Supplements and beauty products are very expensive. I do not have an endless supply of cash to try every single one and have half opened bottles at home. I believe I am reasonable and fair when it comes to any product complaints or concerns. But, I felt treated like a transaction. While I did receive a verdict regarding the product's quality, I felt as if the representative was offended by my asking questions and taking an actual interest in health. Really? Sheesh.

Great new grocery store in SE, similar to New Seasons and Whole Foods, and the NW Freddy. Great meat and fish choices, perhaps the best in town, include whole octopus, painted hills beef, marinated stuff, etc. Great selection of made to order, including wok bar, pizza, sandwiches, and a poke bar! Wine bar is cool, you can just buy a bottle and open it up. We got a Rioja, and walked over and got 3 cured meats and 3 cheeses from the meat and cheese counter, along with a baguette, and had a great lunch for $30 (the wine was $18, and was excellent). Check out out!

I haven't ever shopped here except for prepared food, so I will focus on that. The hot bar is often sort of dry looking, but their chicken soup is fantastic. It was so rich and delicious with lots of great chicken flavor and textures. I would come back even just for the soup! Their bakery desserts also look beautiful, so I'll have to check those out in the future.

I have a strong love-hate relationship with this market. In love with their made in oregon selection of grocery items. Their beer selection is also fantastic. Love that it's locally owned. But they overcharge for everything, items I can get at both whole foods and new seasons for 1-2 $ cheaper (like Toby's dips, for instance). Their produce is ridiculously more expensive, (often for smaller quantity). They also have fewer organic options and even less locally sourced produce. Not having labels for produce origin is super inconvenient for me, so I'm left to rely on the special signs they put on locally sourced items, of which I've only seen a handful. Same goes for their meat selection...no info on ratings, source, nothing. I've also found out they don't pay their employees well so that's also sad. Basically I was super stoked on a whole foods alternative but this place, sadly, isn't it.

If you just moved here from San Francisco and you think paying $1700 a month for a studio apartment in a building that was recently finished is a "good deal", then you will love Market of Choice. For the rest of us locals, they might as well have named this place "And You Thought Whole Foods Was Expensive..." Watch the cashiers here! I live around the corner so I often shop here out of convenience and I've seen MANY times where the cashiers blindly charge the wrong price for things. One time I had 3 pounds of plums and the cashier accidentally rang it up as something costing $36/lb. Pretty much 9 out of 10 times they ring up something wrong, or the advertised price is completely different than the charged price. Lastly, I've had a few close friends that have worked for MoC and they've told me that it's one of the worst companies they've ever worked for. These are veterans of the food industry and I trust their opinions. In summary, this CAN be a good market, you just have to put in A LOT of extra effort to make sure you don't get ripped off. It's basically the Vegas grocery stores.

Now THIS is a grocery store! This is my new favorite place to shop. It's somewhere in between Fred Meyer and Zupans on the fancy and price scale. Definitely closer to Zupans in terms of fanciness, but the prices are about on par with Fred Meyer. That's a big deal! Plus it's local (I think?) and they carry a lot of local products. There's a specific cheese I'm in love with that is 2/3 the cost as it is at Zupans. I noticed this right away and started comparing prices with lots of other products. Dutch processed cocoa: way cheaper. Dairy and eggs: way cheaper. Local jams: way cheaper. There's also a good selection of wine and beer. The store is spacious and well organized. Even when crowded I imagine it wouldn't be too overwhelming. Plenty of underground and street parking. Staff are friendly. Like I said, my new favorite place to shop.

Pros: VERY friendly staff clean store, well-stocked shelves, modest prices for a higher end grocer, above average in house bakery "sweets like donuts, scones, etc", somewhere ample & convenient underground parking garage, outdoor patio, and most impressively beer tap room at the back of the store! Con: Bland and stale items on their Self serve hot food bar, and lackluster & pricey coffee bar. Otherwise still worth the visit and patronage! Plus you are supporting a local Oregon company!

I usually come here for lunch and it's always incredibly busy with only two cashiers at the registers. They also have switched their chefs at the grill lately and the quality has suffered. Wok bowls are always burned, with noodles, vegetables and meat black and burned. They're the only option nearby for this kind of food otherwise I would've gone somewhere else long ago.

I had Cory and Devon prepare a tray for our Thanksgiving crowd. Pretty much just let them create - and they did not disappoint!! Everyone loved the meats and cheeses and the whiskey pepper jelly was the perfect touch! I drove in from Damascus specifically to order and pick up the tray and was glad I did. Can hardly wait to see what they do for my Xmas gathering tray. Thank you Cory and Devon!! See picture of tray below!

It should be IMMORAL to price FOOD this high! Seeing "$$" on the Market Of Choice Yelp page is very misleading- definitely "$$$", if not more. Quality is on par with Trader Joe's and New Seasons but twice as expensive. A business like Market Of Choice does not benefit the surrounding community. Goat Blocks was formerly a two acre meadow where a herd of goats roamed and it was replaced by townhouses that start at ~$1,250/mo. and this disturbingly overpriced market! This place exemplifies the damage done to communities by the current Portland craze!

I love MOC! I live above the store and it's just toooo easy to pop in for what I need. The staff is always friendly and helpful (except for one time but I think it was a fluke), and I think the prices are fair compared to its competitors (and they have lots of sales all the time). The hot bar is pretty good, and I love all the to-go options and olive bar. The folks behind the cheese counter are lovely. I forgot the name of the man that helped me, but he was a gem. Also, the butchers are great and the folks in the beer/wine area are helpful. The smoothies/green juices are very affordable compared to smoothie shops, so I know I save $$ there.

Why would the white grocery clerk tell me I needed to wear gloves while browsing the beer section, but the gloveless white dude next to me wasn't told he needed to wear gloves (while he and the clerk engaged in beer banter at lengths)? I'm not sure if I'm overreacting or if I was a victim of an insidious form of racial discrimination.

Rudest staff ever for no reason, every time I've come in I've been met with rude and passive aggressive responses, definitely feels like they all hate their job and take it out on customers. I have never seen a cashier interact and have a friendly conversation with a customer other than a like two nice individuals.

Market of Choice offers a variety of fancy and healthy foods that are fresh, appetizing, and made with quality. I normally start off in the bakery because I can't help myself from getting a MOC cake slice (pink champagne, Marionberry, or lemon burst). And whenever I think of quality baked goods, MOC is a great option because there are cookies, scones, pieces, cupcakes and so much more to choose from. When I make my way to the deli, I always get the sun dried tomato paste with smoked cheese, the tortellini, and the superfood kale salad. I also love the assortment of cheeses that MOC carries. I have only been able to find the Sartori Raspberry Bellavitano here. In addition, you can find local food products here such as Aardvark hot sauce, Ground Up nut butter, and coffee from local coffee roasters. I love coming here to treat myself to quality food!

I work in the area and grab sushi for lunch here quite often because it's pretty good. I have noticed that every time, the pieces of sushi that are hidden beneath the label aren't full of fish and look pretty gnarly. I just think it's kinda funny and weird that it's the same every time.

You can never go wrong with a Market of Choice cake! Recently I turned 29 and I had 3 birthday cakes over the span of a couple days! 2/3 were Market of Choice! I am a huge fan of their poppyseed cakes but their German chocolate is just as amazing! Quality cake and reasonably priced! I must add that I absolutely love the atmosphere of their stores. The vibe is always peaceful, helpful associates, and quality products! I never seem to want to leave! Life customer right here!

Too expensive. More expensive than Whole Foods or New Seasons with poorer selection. Their produce is outrageously priced. I went there at 8 pm and they had already put away all the soups and most hot foods even though they are open til 11. I'd rather go to New Seasons.

We love get the wok bowl! There is a small and large bowl. I recommend starting with the small bowl and pack it down with vegetables. You will have options to ad rice ,chicken, beef ,shrimp before chief cooks

Went here for some routine groceries. Got home to realize I was missing at least a third of the groceries I had JUST purchased. I was stuck on the phone while the cashier was ringing me up so I wasn't examining him under a microscope like I should have been apparently. Absolutely had it with their over priced limited options and mediocre service. Even if it's convenient go somewhere else, it'll come back to bite you in the ass like it did me.

We love market of choice! We're frequent visitors and by frequent I mean twice a day (we live upstairs).the staff is super attentive without being obnoxious.the bakery department went out of their way to make sure that my last minute birthday cake was made on time.i was so excited to have received this beautiful cake and even more excited to eat it.the cake was not only beautiful but delicious too! Thank you market of choice for always being consistent with stellar service and awesome selections for our everyday needs .

Worst bottle count log system ever. They make you wait outside the store while they count your bottles. I mean if they come, I'm just trying to shop not be treated like some jerk off the street.

I visit this place almost daily for coffee. There are several options for coffee in PDX as we all know but the baristas are so fun whenever I go over there. They have the right amount of sassy/ spunk that I enjoy but are still full of kindness and great customer service. The wine section has a knowledgeable staff that can help anyone find the wine they are looking for. The bakery has some great bakers always hard at work providing many tempting goodies that I always find myself looking over. The management is very helpful and run a great operation. If there is every a problem they always find a solution (never had one myself, I have just overheard/ seen them in action with others). The fresh produce stock team is friendly and enjoy striking up a conversation to not only make sure you are finding everything, but also just to see how you are doing, great community. Of course they are a fancy market with above average products so of course if you when to a normal store you can find normal products at the normal price, but MoC has above average options, that are still a good deal for what it is. Thanks Market of Choice! -Coach JG!!!

I live in the neighborhood so I'm forced to shop here if I don't want to bus to better options. Their produce is overpriced and not especially fresh. Today they had dried out "summer" chanterelles for 57 dollars per pound. Local strawberries are 6 per pint but half rotten. I'm not sure what the bakery bakes because everything is parbaked and frozen. The turnover in staff is high and no one seems happy. The place is rarely busy. I got a small box of turkey and mashed potatoes from the hot bar today which was likely Reser's for 10 dollars! Completely salty and inedible. Their soups are good, hence two stars and I can get staples here for normal prices but i sincerely hope MoC goes the way of Orchard Hardware and allows a better grocery store to move in.

UPGRADE! Nice grocery store with reasonable food prices. They are getting a handle by beefing up security (parking and inside) on the addict problem so thats helpful. Very enjoyable place to shop and relax in the lounge with whatever you've bought or have a glass of wine. Employees for the most part are friendly and helpful. Free parking in the building or quick 30 minute parking spots to run in for a quick shop. Give it a try!

I've only been in town - living in the Belmont area - for a couple of weeks and while I have made the rounds of the local markets, MOC is immediately my preferred place to shop now. Besides having easy parking and that its close to my place, the selection, lay-out, pricing and ambience is right on point. Good produce and meat section for their size and lots of good looking prepared food - even a wine/beer bar in back. Highly recommended.

It's expensive, but that's to be expected in Portland. That said, I expected the fresh deli food to be especially good but unfortunately most of it was not. The spicy fried chicken was pretty good, the deviled egg potato salad was all right. But the $13 per pound chicken salad was a disaster. HUGE chunks of dry chicken breast. Seems they didn't want to take the trouble to chop it up like chicken salad should be done. Gave most to my dog. The chopped broccoli and kale salad with turmeric was quite tasty, but that was because it was sweetened. After a few bites I realized just how sweet. Why ruin something healthful with sugar? I got a $10 container of market made Mac and Cheese. It was starchy! Reading the ingredients (when will I ever learn not to assume) it was made with American cheese and corn starch. I threw most of it out. The pulled pork was too salty and so tender I suspect meat tenderizer was used in it. This food is over priced and not very healthful.

Really beautiful store and nice selection of produce,hot bar,sushi.I have been here a handful Of times and every time I find that the cashiers are very unfriendly.Bummer.
