Sno-Isle Food Co op





 I am going to use my power of influence to get you to come to the Sno-Isle Co-op.  Beer!!  Enough said. They have a whole walk in cooler full of local beer.   If you need more convincing read on.

Sno-Isle mission is to provide local, orgainic or free trade products and gifts.  When you walk in you will see a bounty of fresh produce.  Everything is beautiful and tasty.  Besides the  beautiful produce they have the best bulk section I have ever seen.  You can find loads of gluten-free flours, beans, pasta, candy, dried fruits, nuts and so much more.  On the opposite side of the bulk bins is the bulk spices, herbs and teas.  There is cooking herbs and medicinal herbs.  Bulk coffee, nut butters, honey and oils are also available in bulk.  Of course they carry all the regular grocery stuff, including beauty products, organic wines, dairy and vitamins. You can find just about everything you need here.

If you need a quick bite to eat they have a deli case with homemade salads and baked goods. In the case in front of the deli they also have pre-made sandwiches and salads.  You could come here for your lunch and feel good you had a healthy and tasty meal.  There is seating in the front of the store if you want to eat there.

You can become a member and help support their mission to support local farmers.  A life time membership is a $100 and with that you get discounts and invites to member only events and tasting.  But you don't need a membership to shop.  To learn more about Co-ops check out this web site.  www.strongertogether.coop

Zippy's Java Lounge in Everett, Wa







































So I had to re-review this place because I gave it a bad review on city search before when the place was on Hewitt Ave. The owner has really turned this place around and I love it!
To me Zippy's is reminiscent of the coffee houses in Portland, Or. This place is cozy, homey, and cool. They offer lunch items, breakfast items, coffee drinks, smoothies, pastries, loose leaf tea and vegetarian options. Oh and a Dalmatian (Zippy ).

Today I had Pea and Garlic soup with grilled focaccia bread with a herbal tea. I spent about $6 on every thing. The soup was made in-house and it was outstanding! Lightly spicy and slightly Thai flavored. The owner brought out the soup and tea for me. She was very sweet and chatted politely with all her customers with out being too friendly.

What I liked:
  • The vintage couches to chill out on.
  • The fact Zippy's composts.
  • Live Music.
  • Various groups who meet at Zippy's (knitting, book club, and many more).
  • WiFi.
  • Laid back and cozy atmosphere.
  • Focus on community and Environment.
  • Zippy ( the doggie who like to visit with the customers).
  • Supports local artist and suppliers.
  • The community feel of Zippy's.

What I would like to see:
  • I would change nothing!
