Asking customers to wear a mask is one thing in itself, I get it no biggie. But to go above and beyond and interject your opinions on how a mask should be worn is another.Ive been coming here almost daily for a little over 10 years now. You have lost a customer and most likely many more as word of mouth is the best advertisement.

Although this is the closest grocery store to our house, we only go for about 10% of our grocery trips. This is solely because they are pretty expensive. Not Whole Foods expensive but Olympia expensive for sure.Their biggest strength is having a lot of incredible specialty and local options all over the store that are hard to find anywhere else.So 5 stars it is! We dont go often, but when we do, we leave happy!P.S. The boardwalk on the water right outside their doors doesnt hurt either. That stroll in the summer can make you feel better about how much groceries cost these days.

Great location, friendly place and people, good selection of items. I like the whole layout inside and overall look of the place outside. Italian Grinder was great 👍, local places seem to be getting their product on the shelves for sale, which I like! On the water, just need a couple of these businesses to get involved in helping and building the community not just turning a profit!🧩🎶🙏✍️💯🌬️🗺️✨💫😷🎱🦜😁🤝

Very clean, employees were very helpful. Wide selection of fresh goods.

The store itself is always clean and the produce is fresh! Customer service is top quality as well. Today I went in for a London Fog Latte. The two employees at the coffee bar are new and the one making my drink was very transparent that she was new and had never made one before. They both did a great job. One of the best London Fog lattes Ive had. THANK YOU!

Wonderful local Olympia grocery store. The folks at the deli were wonderful and very helpful. I like that they have an excellent alcohol section and all of the wine were organized and easy to purchase. Fruits and vegetables were fresh and display very nicely. We also appreciate that they had a large amount of holiday decorations and Foods. The store was very clean and very organized. I give the Bayview Thriftway five stars

I stopped in for a quick trip just to pick up some veggies for dinner. The worker in produce named Peyton was awesome, he showed me around and helped me pick out the best looking product. Store was very clean with a large variety of different produce.

Its okay. It has expensive food. I Feel Like a Stranger in a Strange Land every time I walk in this place. Theres a unique feeling of unwelcome specifically to here that besides a couple of awkward experiences is pretty pervasive.

The store is incredibly clean. They have an amazing selection of fresh fish. I love the deli. The product is also very clean and fresh. One of my favorite stores in the area

Good service. Good store organization. Prices higher compared to other local stores. Usually go there for convenience it is closeby.

Very clean store. Their items are different than most places. Its not very welcoming tho. Everytime I go in i feel like I have to get out as quickly as possible

A little pricey, even for basic products. However, a great selection and incredibly cordial staff! Very clean and inviting establishment.

In over 18 months of COVID Ive never encountered an employee too unintelligent to check IDs while safely wearing a mask. Until today at Bayview. Demanding customers remove their masks is the most backwards ignorant policy I have come across. I will not be back to be price gouged if you cant even respect the desire of your customers to wear their mask just as they do in every other setting where proof of age is required.

Apricots were the best Ive ever had. Try the Italian sandwich.

My favorite store. Love finding things that other stores dont have.

Mothers Day luncheon with my son was fantastic! Great deli selection with made to order fresh sandwiches. Wonderful view in the tower seating area. 5 star all the way around!

Great view

Great place prices need to come down

The deli is delicious and theres a good wine selection. Prices are higher than an average grocery store though. Lots of specialty products and gourmet foods are available. I shop here for hard-to-find ingredients. Also, I usually carry a backpack because I travel by public transportation. If you wear one into this store, youll be approached by security. But it seems ok to bring reusable grocery bags.

At your own risk! Meat department holds manipulated chicken 10 days. Um, nope! They got my family sicker than sick over this. Stay away unless you like food poisoning.

Love this place Seafood Salad is hands down better then any other grocery store

Good food. Nice people. Love the ice cream in the deli!

Bougie without a reason to be. Great coffee though.

Clean, lots of wonderful products, carts are cleaned after each use, staff are pleasant very helpful.Also can get espresso, lattes, tea, and tummy pastries at coffee shop in store.Good place to shop.

Local neighborhood grocery vibe. They are very friendly and staff will make you feel your a neighbor. Noticed that they usually know the patrons there. Bit of a higher scale grocery though.

I love this store, they have great stuff and dont find in other store. Also, their staff are super friendly and helpful.

I would have given this place 5 stars, but this morning the store manager, who has checked me out several times in the past year, decided to comment on my dog. I asked for, and got permission, to bring him in with me (hes very well behaved), and have never had an issue before. I guess now that the pandemic is winding down, were back to deterrent practices. Shame on you, Thriftway, Ive been a loyal customer since I moved here.

Ive been shopping here since I was a teenager, its still one of the nicest stores downtown Olympia area. Everyone is always helpful and friendly.

Very pricey store be prepared To spend Alot.

Shopping at Bayview Thriftway is not just an adventure its a fun Friday night for my wife & I. We show up with no idea what we are going have for dinner that night we grab some flowers as we walk in .Wife go one way I go the other .We meet compare notes & pick out the dinner .Wonderful Cheese & crackers to start ,One Chicken Gordon Blue to split (just made) ,A Vics pizza to cook at home & we add fresh mushrooms .She grabs a bottle of wine & I get some beer Ive never tried before(huge selection).What a place.

Dont always have what I need and a lil on the expensive side!

Nice scenic grocery spot sitting on the edge of downtown. It has almost everything one can need for a quick trip for essentials or a nice treat.

Picked up some Fischer Scones. Couldnt wait till the fair. The scones are so good.

Two stars because the prices are just way to high plain and simple.

I visit this store everytime Im in town. Great selection of cool things, even if the prices can be higher than other places, it just feels good to explore and shop.Especially like their fudge and beer selections.

A little high priced but the quality is amazing.

I went in for just coffee but pastry was rally good!

Great local high-end grocer. Basics are very expensive here, but we use it mainly for the more exotic items and shop elsewhere for the daily items.

Awesome staff and great products.

Pretty expensive but the meat selection and prices are good

Amazing staff. Slice of Heaven on Earth.

Always clean and well stocked.

They have homemade meatloaf all ready for the oven very tasty.

Good quality products. Spendy for sure but it’s always nice and fresh food. Deli is always good. They started making their one homemade cookies which I have been digging lately. Nom

Beautiful store with great choices!

Great place to fish of the dock. Grab a coffee sit and relax.

Friendly staff amazing prices on their lunch meals and pretty good view of the water

Had to delay pick-up of hatch chili pre-order due to bad air quality. Both Josh and other produce staff were so nice on the phone and in person. Thanks for hiring nice people. We love the store and the helpful employees.

People were really friendly and excellent prices considering the location, downtown and waterfront.

Bayview Is great incredible produce and deli love the wines its nice to be in a store like that true service too

Beautiful facility, prices at a bit high. Great place to sit and watch the bay.

Finally got Clearly Canadian!!

This grocery is probably the best all-around experience you would want in a grocery store. They have cooking classes (available again after COVID, I presume) and an array of local offerings that you wont find elsewhere .

Cute eclectic grocery store. Like Whole Foods but you dont need your whole paycheck

Everything in that store is absolutely beautiful and the workers couldnt be better . Great job guys

My husband and I stay in olympia at least once to twice a month. We do lots of business here and love the variety in products . However the last few times we visited later in the evening we were literally followed around the store as if we were going to steal. Not once but twice! We dont appreciate it and please dont make yourselves any more obvious.

We love to get our fruits and veggies from here

Clean facility. Great selection of items, especially in deli section. Has a really cute gift area where presents can be purchased and wonderful selection of cards. Only main grocery in downtown but still has a great parking area that you can always find a spot in. Staff is helpful.

I enjoy there deli and cater services!

I love that they have specialty items

Great grocery store, has a lot of local vendor goods you cannot get anywhere else. Employees go above and beyond for the customers. A bit pricey if on a budget but well worth going in for specialty items.

I only stopped in this store due to needing an address for Uber. The store is nice with several unique and local foods. They also let me use the bathroom.

Rude employees did not help

Love the views of the inlet and the surrounding bay

Good, high end grocery store.

Horrible was denied service due to how I dress

Nice store , but a tad spendy.

Great store, friendly staff, nice wine selection and healthy options. All around great place to shop.

Best Market Ever!

Love this place for unique shopping experience. I love they still have unique kitchen gadgets that other places do not have.

We always get treats from this place. so good.

Nicely done, but expensive.

Great selection and clean secured lavatories.

Wonderful deli counter and bakery. I love their lemon cookies and fudge.

They have Sailor Boy Pilot Bread. What more can I say?

Great Liquor selection. Try the Campo Bravo Tequila. Great price.

This is a small friendly store with quality goods. Located right downtown. Its my main grocer.

Nick in the meat department is a stelar butcher...and they sell Ulis sausages....

A little over priced on general groceries. The Deli is the real star in this store.

Beautiful flat easy walking path.

The employee that runs the fish section was absolutely wonderful. He went out of his way to try and help me find Tempura fish flour. Where do you get that kind of service? Well not at Walmart or Winco thats for sure. I love both Ralphs and Bayview grocery.

I do my daily shopping here and the staff is great, very friendly and very smart in so many ways... Thanks a million Bayview you guys are wonderful in every way!!!

Prices are high and selection is limited but the people are friendly.

Was trying to support the downtown local businesses and we were there to help support the business. We were treated badly and followed thru the store and like we were going to do something wrong. When we were going to spend money there.

Fun grocery store. Good item selection of local products. Clean and friendly staff

Went in to get my gf some flowers. Very fresh and they lasted over two weeks.

Very wheelchair accessible. Also such a friendly staff. We were from out of towne and they kindly told us of local things to see and do. Personally I thought the prices were a bit high. Oh, and they have a small waterfront table setting and deli. So we had a waterfront lunch and watched it snow. GREAT little store.

Nice little grocery store in downtown Olympia

Right outside the store is a amazing dock,That looks out to the Olympic Mountains and took these photos as I ate a pastry from Bayview.

Very over priced.

Very clean store and really good selection of quality products. Not the cheapest store but quality isnt cheap.

One of the nicer Thriftways Ive been with great deli and outside seating with views of the water.

Place is over priced and they are judgmental they follow around the store if they think u are homeless it like racial profiling its just wrong

Its a cool store that has a little bit of everything. Good place for unique gifts and such. Employees are friendly, prices are on the higher side of things and they do battle dealing with the homeless population on a daily basis.

My food wasnt good I bout chicken and mac ewwww but my aloe vera was good

It is a foo foo place I go there because of the Kalama sourdough bread which is amazing

Great place

Very clean store, nice employees

Bayview is on my way home from work, so its super convenient. Its a little on the pricey side, but the store is really nice. Walking in is welcoming with the local coffee joint and flowers to greet you. The produce is fresh, the deli is spectacular and all the staff are really nice. In honesty, I believe the nicest butcher in the world works there (not exaggerating one bit - hes wonderful). Tell him I said hi if you stop in!

Deli lady rocked this morning!!
