Top Banana

Seattle foodies are in love with Fresh. Seattleites in general love to support small local business as well. Which is why I love Top Banana Produce Company across from Ballard High School in Ballard, WA. It's low tech - with plenty of fresh and delicious, locally harvested from Washington farmers and family-owned and operated. Think of a roadside fruit and veggie stand in eastern Washington without the drive. In addition to produce they have snacks, nuts, a few grocery items and they work regular cash registers - not POS systems. They are ebullient and friendly and unfailingly welcoming. Try something unique like the blood oranges and papayas. I peach cobbler all Summer long and now we're into root veggies, squash and pumpkins. They also have a funky coffee drive-thru in the parking lot and Christmas Trees will be coming soon. Get back to home-style produce served with kindness and a keen eye to organic quality and freshness. If Google Reviews at bananas instead of stars, Top Banana Produce would rate 5 BIG BANANAS!

Best produce and Christmas trees in town! I used to work for Top Banana long before the Time Bandit and Jimmy is very particular about displaying only the finest product. Full service Christmas tree season too and I will be there for a couple days.

Happened upon Top Banana while running errands - I'm so glad I found this gem! Jimmy and his team are incredibly kind and helpful. I found some amazing local produce and the most perfect Christmas tree! Absolutely worth the hike over from Cap Hill.

Excellent produce and great prices! We are super lucky to have this place right down the street from us. You can usually find better prices than QFC and the quality is definitely superior. Good people and the attached coffee stand is so good!

Produce here is amazing and prices are really fair! Good selection as well, I can knock off mostly all produce on my grocery list.

Top Banana is a GREAT local spot for Xmas trees! Extremely friendly staff with all the patience and advice you could want. It's a pretty small lot, but they pack it with great fresh and healthy trees and are constantly bringing more in. Many (but not all) are organic naturally raised local trees that make you feel good for getting one. They're a little spendy ($15/ft) but we think it's well worth it for supporting a good small company. They're happy to cut a fresh slice off the bottom of the trunk, wrap it up in twine, and tie it to your roof at no additional cost. We ALWAYS come here for our trees and love them.

The best fruit stand around! I've been going here since they first opened many , many years ago, and I'm still impressed with the quality of their produce here! Terrific! My white nectarine, today, is so juicy and flavorful, that it was like drinking juice from a glass.....soooooo delicious!!

I really love this produce stand. They always have super fresh stuff that looks so much better than grocery store produce. Look at the color of the tomatoes! All the basics plus some asian veggies and over 20 different types of apples. The prices are totally reasonable. I always stop by when I'm in the area.
