The best meat department and fresh grocery store in Columbus, hands down. Needed some steaks for the grill and saw NY strip in their sales flyer so I stopped in on a Saturday. I was immediately helped by Pat. She is the best! Went above and beyond and helped not only recommend the size but personally cut steaks perfectly for my grilling needs. She also showed me some other items I would’ve never noticed and I left with the full confidence I would dominate bbq. Our apartment complex just installed a new grill and I need to make a statement and throw down, and Pat helped me accomplish that. Highly recommend, great little store and not crazy busy. They also have a lot of unique indoor houseplants at this time.

Usually one of my favorite stores. They have all the healing products, vitamins, organic .. poison free things. They just discontinued this nut, seed and fruit granola that I bought almost on A 3 day basis 😔 why discontinued a product that is selling out. They replaced it with a granola that is NOT better. I feel discriminated against. 😔

Love this place. A bit pricey on some things but their sweet corn is the best we have found. Chicken sausage is ridiculously good and the seafood sales are amazing! Plus my little guy loves the kiddie carts!

A bit pricey. They did have a couple things Ive been wanting to try. My local store carries them for $5 cheaper but their always out so I traveled 18 extra miles and paid the higher price, I just hope it was worth it. The store was clean, the womens restroom was not ( the toilet and stahl anyway) and the people were very friendly and helpful. Easy to get to right off i270. Great selection of organics. It was my 1st time there. Found it interest that they carry elk & bison, $$$$. Over all I had a nice time exploring.

Great grocery. Nest, clean, fine looking meat and produce. Unusual, interesting items. Staff went out of way to walk me across store to item I wanted. Well go back as soon as possible.

They have a great selection of things you just cant find elsewhere, for solid prices. It sort of feels like a whole foods but less harsh on the wallet.

The Worthington store is FAR better than this store!I only have come to this location because its right by my new place but I wont be coming here anymore - I have never been pleased with what Ive experienced here.A) Understaffed - typically only 1 or 2 lanes are ever open, usually just 1 at busy times such as 5 - 7 PMB) Ive seen the same customer on 2 different occasions - she goes through open produce bags (apples / green beans) with her bare hands, literally up to her elbows and picks what she wants then throws what she doesnt want back into another bag for someone else to take!!!Both times, there was an employee right there who never even noticed.I had to notify one employee the first time & tried to find a manager the next time but couldnt.The store employees need to be aware of her & they need to keep her from doing this!I know I may sound like such a Karen but this behavior is incredibly bad during a pandemic.(Even the staff here wears gloves when handling produce *A+)Its just about being mindful of others - I always throw a bag over my hand when getting produce.This customer either doesnt know any better or she just doesnt care.That would never fly in the Worthington location as management (who is almost always on the floor interacting with customers) or another employee would notice in a heartbeat.C) Items are often poorly stocked & close to the expiration dateD) Staff is not very friendly, with the exception of 1 guy - a shorter gentleman with short, reddish blonde hair - hes very nice & always says hello but no one else there seems to care one bit about customer service.Going to the Worthington location is a pleasure, its a bit out of my way now but it beats going here!

Excellent !! My visits there are usually pretty focused. I like their produce, specifically the citrus. I went in today hoping that they would still have the Mineolas I found last weekend. I was not disappointed!! The folks there are very welcoming. I really enjoy going there!!

This location is unsafe to visit during the COVID pandemic. Employees made it impossible to social distance. Multiple times while browsing the aisles an employee would begin stocking directly next to me within less than a foot away while asking me if I needed anything. When checking out the only two lanes that were open were directly next to each other giving us no option but to be shoulder to shoulder with other customers. I will not be returning to this store because of their lack of care for customer safety and I would suggest others avoid it also.

I really like the west coast version, Sprouts. Fresh Thyme has a very similar feel and similar products but they are significantly higher priced. One thing that is very appealing in these days of covid is lack of crowds compared to similar grocery stores.

Usually go here for fresh produce. My daughter and I stopped here the other day to get supplies to make a giant sub sandwich. The lady in the deli was super helpful and patient with us. Especially since we got a variety of things in small amounts. The fresh loaf of Italian bread was perfect as well.

I love this store!!!! I cant tell you the last time I shopped at a big name chain. The produce is phenomenal, the prices are incomparable, the meat is awesome....to top it off, the customer service cannot be beat. My first experience in this store, I picked up a whole roasting chicken that still had little pieces of feathers on it...this absolutely grosses me out. As I was picking through them and talking to my friend that had introduced me to the store, the clerk overheard me speaking about the feathers. He approached and said I can take that to the back and pull those off for you. WHAT?!!?! I couldnt believe it. I said You can???? He happily took it to the back, pulled the feathers, re-wrapped and re-weighed it, decreasing the price (by a few cents...but still). I was sold...Im a sucker for great customer service. Loyal customer for life!!!

This was my second visit, different location. I absolutely love this place. Great location in Worthington, its my fave so far. The selection of meats, seafood, fruits and veggies are impeccable. Wholesome, organic, no gmo, no preservatives. They offer a wide variety of goods. The staff are exceptional, treating everyone with respect, they offer activities for the kids plus prizes. Store is well lit, parking lot is immaculate. I have made this my go to grocery for my families needs.

Review №79

Went out of our way to go to Fresh Thyme to buy strawberries that were advertised for $1.25 lb. Very disappointed. They had zero strawberries. Im sorry, but you shouldnt advertise something and then not have it. Thats poor planning by management.The store was clean, but very cluttered. Lots of carts loaded with products to be put on shelves, just sitting in the aisles. Made it hard to get around and some things were impossible to get to, especially in produce and the bulk (nuts, dried fruits) areas. Finally, we encountered 4 employees and only one was friendly and helpful. (In natural health and beauty area.) Doubt we will be back. Trader Joes is down the street and so much better.

Loved all of the unique items that are hard to find in other health and specialty type grocery stores/markets. Very well priced and their specials are great! I will add this to my regular stores I visit at least monthly list!! My only gripe is the checkout people and other employees hanging by the registers pretty much ignored me and talked amongst themselves making me feel like a third wheel and no have a good day, thank you for shopping here, or anything.

Review №81

There are so many natural and whole foods options here! I felt like a kid in a candy store. I like to shop as organic as possible and this place is great for it. They even have a bakery section with breads and sweets that are all natural. Ive never been to Whole Foods so I cant compare the two. This place is similar in size to Raisin Rack except has more options. Its arranged better as well, like any other grocery store.

Review №82

Not really a farmers market as touted but a Whole Foods wannabe without the escalated prices. Unique offerings like roasted duck in the frozen section and Tennesse spicy chicken in the fresh meat section differentiate it from chain groceries. And the large blue cans of Fosters Oz beer are a welcome thirst quencher. Also some non-conventional ethnic Asian packaged food. Must also comment on the produce display - very colorful and wonderful eye candy

Fresh thyme is a great alternative to whole foods. Similar concert but with much more affordable options. Absolutely love the meat counter options boasting fresh made sausages that are absolutely delicious! Additionally the pizzas are a hidden gem of deliciousness!

Keep an eye out for shrimp on sale at Fresh Thyme. When on sale, it is a better price than anywhere else around. Veggies are a good deal, too, when on sale. New sales start on Wednesdays, but they extend the previous weeks sales through Wednesday, so that you get double sales available that one day.
