Why Make the Drive?

Customers come from Portland, Gresham, Camas, Washougal, Longview, and as far as Olympia. Here is what makes the trip worthwhile:

Fresh deli counter — Kolbasa, smoked meats, and prepared salads sliced to order. The deli is the reason most first-time visitors come back. You will not find this selection at any mainstream grocery store.

House-made pelmeni — Fresh, not frozen, made in-house daily. The deli case has pelmeni made that morning. Take them home and boil in 15 minutes. This is the item customers drive specifically to buy.

Imported products — Foods from Russia, Ukraine, Belarus, Moldova, Germany, Poland, Latvia, Kazakhstan, and other Eastern European and Central Asian countries. Products you have not seen since childhood, or products you have been searching for in Portland without luck.

Knowledgeable staff — The staff speaks both Russian and English. If you are looking for a specific item you remember from home, describe it and they will help you find it or tell you when it comes in next.

Fair prices — The selection is better and the prices are more reasonable than driving into Portland or Seattle for specialty imports.

What to Buy on Your First Visit

If you have never been to an Eastern European grocery store, here is what to pick up on your first trip:

• Pelmeni (house-made) — the flagship item
• Doktorskaya kolbasa — the most classic Russian deli sausage
• Tvorog — fresh farmer's cheese, great for breakfast with honey
• Borodino bread — dark rye, unlike anything at a mainstream store
• Alyonka chocolate — Russia's most iconic chocolate bar
• Smetana — to serve with the pelmeni

That combination gives you a complete picture of what Eastern European grocery shopping is about. Total cost is usually well under $40 and feeds a household for several days.
