Love this place. Perfect little corner store with good beer selection and very friendly staff.

The «Durn Good» is very good — so nice to have a corner shop across the street — with everything from tampons to Pine Sol to toilet paper — it may cost about 25% more than QFC — but if you want to just stroll across the street in your PJ’s — it is definitely worth it. The guys who work there — both Jai and Richard — are great and very dedicated to their jobs — a genuine pleasure.

Jai is very friendly and I love to support local business. Excellent beer and wine selection for such a compact store. Also had my fave snacks right near the register! You got me Jai!

This is a block from me and it’s awesome.
Good selection for a little quickie mart, and the prices are not as bad as you might think from a place like this.
But mostly it’s the folks that work there — always friendly and smile at me as I walk my dog or come in for a pint of ice cream. Love the dog that gets to run around the place too.

This is the perfect neighborhood grocery. These guys have almost EVERYTHING. I am a forgetful super store shopper who is lucky enough to live only a few blocks away from durn good. They’re a little more pricey then the super store up the street. But for convenience and the ability to bring in my four-​legged friend I choose them when I can. You can give them a call anytime and they’ll check the shelves to see if they carry with what you need.

The Durn Good will be 100 years old in 2012; it got its name in the 50s and 70s according to
. It’s owned by a family, and both «the morning guy» (Rich) and the owner (Jai, and his little dog, Stella) are neighborhood fixtures. I’d love to see the place get a bit of a sprucing up, and I would also like to see more organic products, but… it’s a convenience store. The beer and ice cream selections do seem extensive, and I like to throw some business their way when I can. Certainly, it’s worth visiting the Durn Good over the national chain down the hill.

This place is really great. At first it seems dingy and I do think the name is a bit off-​putting. GIve it a chance!
The selection is very good, a little bit of everything to get you through a pinch and a decent selection of beer and (cheap) wine for the size of the store.
The family that runs it and the other employee are great. In the mornings I get to hear classical music bursting out the door and in the evening I hear from Jai and maybe even get to pet the little dog, Stella.
Great neighborhood store!

Smith Bros milk, Hagen Daz ice cream, and a very nice beer selection. This is a corner store finely in tune with it’s hood.
Which since that is my hood means it has everything I need every time I go. It rocks.

One of those greasy little corner stores where you know that the guy has a shotgun under the counter and has it aimed at your balls in case you make a too-​fast move for your wallet.
This place sells cigs and occasionally 4 year old boxes of lucky charms.

I love this place.
In my experience, most small corner stores carry a tiny sampling of brands no one’s ever heard of at twice the cost of brand names at regular stores. Durn Good is NOT like this at all. Ben & Jerry’s ice cream, an impressive selection of beer given the size of the store, Tropicana no-​pulp orange juice … everything I could ever want. He’s even got espresso (ground and whole bean).
The guy who owns this place is incredibly friendly, always remembers me, and appears never to sleep.
Prices are a slight bit more expensive than, say, Fred Meyer, but for the convenience of being able to get almost anything I could need just by crossing the street, and supporting such a great local business, I happily pay. Most things (like milk and cereal) cost the same as at QFC.

i love durn good. they were open every day during the snow so i could stock up on beverages and such without having to trudge in the snow too far. they even had the lightbulbs i needed! the guy behind the counter is always very nice and helpful and the whole place is very clean and well stocked. being a small corner market, of course the prices are a little bit high but not more than you would really expect. i love durn good.

They don’t like people, the neighhbborhood or being involved in any way.
Long conversations about the history of the store and the family-​involved and supporting original owners. result in stone cold stares. They will tell you that it takes way too much trouble to have a bulletin board or allow anyone to post any neighborhood events.
some variety of stuff to buy

It was almost 10 o’clock when I ventured in here… and the minute I walked in the doors there was classical music blaring from the over head speakers. Needless to say, this threw me for a loop. This is just your typical corner store with all the different kinds of drinks your little heart my desire from Odwalla to Corona. The man behind the counter was really friendly and knew my friend by name which was inviting. I wish I had a corner store by my house

My neighborhood convenience store last summer, and I still love stopping here for a Gatorade on the way home after a long bike ride (despite the small size, they have like 20 flavors!)

This little convenience store has got a durn good name. Every time I go there, they seem to have exactly whatever little thing I was looking for — buttermilk, bottle of wine, pepto-​bismol, moon pies. The wine selection is great for a small market, the beer selection is decent, the coffee is a’brewin’, and it’s open early on Sundays. Go crazy.
