Thrillist has described Cone & Steiner as "a speciality grocery ... jam-packed with local goodies galore, as well as a beer bar and pretty much anything else you could possibly need from a proper corner store". [2] Products include coffee, flowers, housewares, pantry items, salads, and sandwiches. [3] [4] The LGBT-owned [5] business has billed itself as "the corner store for the millennial generation". [6]

In Food Lovers' Guide to Seattle, food writer Laurie Wolf said of the Capitol Hill location: "This market has an old-fashioned feel and carries well-sourced products, including everything you need to throw a grand dinner party or prepare a perfectly delightful picnic basket. There is a great craft beer selection with a rotating six-tap growler station. They often have tastings and are extremely helpful with any of your food-related shopping needs." [7] Sunset magazine said of the Capitol Hill store: "The market is a haven for hands-on shoppers: There's a grind-your-own-flour station, five taps for filling growlers, and the basic provisions neighborhood folks need to fix everything from dinner to doorknobs." [8]

History

Co-owner and chief executive officer Dani Cone established Cone & Steiner in 2014, [9] re-launching the Cone & Steiner Meats & Groceries store started by her great-grandfather in SoDo in 1915. [10] [11] [12] Josh Henderson is also a partner. [3] [13]

The first location opened on 19th Avenue on Capitol Hill. The second location opened in Pioneer Square, in the Stadium Place development at the intersection of Occidental and King, [14] in August 2014. [3] Upon opening, Bethany Jean Clement of The Stranger said the Pioneer Square store was "expensive, but sure to do well in this grocery desert". [15] The business manages an in-house delivery service. [16]

A third location opened in downtown in 2017 [1] [17] [18] [19] but has since closed.
