Cone & Steiner is a grocery store with multiple locations in Seattle, in the U.S. state of Washington. In 2014, co-owners Dani Cone and Josh Henderson opened a first store on Capitol Hill and a second in Pioneer Square. A third location opened in downtown Seattle in 2017[1] but is no longer operating.
Description
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 LGBTQ-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.
