This is a wonderful grocery store with many specialty items.My primary reason for visiting is the excellent deli counter with Boars Head meats and cheeses. A well-appointed meat and fish counter with awesome house made sausages, and a rotating array of fresh sea food is also a draw. Also present is an outstanding produce selection, and very nice selection of bulk dry goods.They also have very good prepared sandwiches and pizzas at the deli, a salad bar, and a large selection of interesting frozen foods.The store has many vegan and gluten free food items, but you may have a hard time finding certain other items that I consider standard grocery items.

Nice Fresh Thyme location. If you’re from out-of-state, make sure to go get some of their honey peanut butter near the bulk candy/nuts section, it’s incredible! The only downside is that there is no self-checkouts, so the lines get a bit long sometimes.

A fun, clean place to shop. Wonderful produce, deli counter, beer & wine. Full grocery selection including meat counter and bulk foods. Find the perfect ingredients for your recipe or buy items ready to serve. My favorite place to shop. I always find something new to try while I pick up everything on my list. Friendly staff too. Easy parking.

Love the store but disappointed in the service. At check-out, cashiers are suspicious about advertised sales items and have to wait for price verification or the products are in the wrong place. Tired of them thinking you are trying to cheap-out. Dont patronize anymore

I love the fresh ground peanut butter, too bad its increasing in price. they have a lot of great fresh stuff there (obviously). produce is usually five stars. havent bought a lot of meat there, seems expensive. same cheeses you can get at meijer, but more expensive. sushi deal on Thursday is awesome, (like meijer on Wednesday). they have a nice selection of stuff, but again, prices are to be expected.

Good local market. They used to have one of the best selections of micro-brew beers. They are still pretty good, but no longer the best in the area. They also used to have great produce and a great butcher. Things have seemingly been tightened down, no longer willing to make as many specialty cuts as they used to 10 or so years ago.Overall, decent prices albeit they are a little in the expensive side. One thing that is cool is their little odds and ends from fresh thyme.

Great prices, excellent choices for a smaller size store. I really like the fact that I dont have to walk a million miles inside this store to find what I want. The size is great. Quality of what I buy is outstanding. No junk in the food, no GMOs and lots of local organic. Great grass-fed milk and dairy products even unhomogenized. Natural living department contains outstanding vitamin and body care selections. They just had a big sale in there natural living department. I had chosen my items ahead of time and put they put my bag on a shelf to store until the sale started. Such an awesome service. My bag was ready when I got there to pick it up during the sale, everything was in stock, and I was very pleased.

Prices are higher than other grocery stores! Best for organic, vegan, kosher items. Staffs are helpful and friendly. vegetables are always fresh. lots of freshly baked bakery items, handmade soaps! I dont forget to buy a bag of 2 lb shrimp for around $10 when they are on sale. Good place. Thanks for the free sample lozenges! My 3 year old son loved them!

Im glad we have a store that has a nice verity of interesting products. I have never seen so many different kinds of chips! Some made with ingredients Ive never even heard of before. There is almost always a good deal on Shrimp. And the bulk section has a lot of options. Its never too busy so its easy to move around in. I also appreciate their organic produce selection. Prices are always pretty reasonable.

I love it here. For being a smaller grocery store, the selection is fantastic, the prices are reasonable, and the produce is always really fresh. The store is clean and bright, and the employees are great! I cant recommend it enough. Try out the Fresh Thyme branded products too, cause they do not disappoint.

The store is always clean and employees are very helpful. You can’t beat the prices on produce and meat. Speaking of meat, the burger counter has a ton of variety in their offerings wether you’re looking towards the surf or the turf for your next dinner or bbq. Hands down my favorite grocery store. Plenty of gluten friendly items and the sushi is fantastic. Good beer and great wine selection.

Great! Great! Just fabulous! Was looking for strawberries for dipping in dark chocolate! Found the absolute best looking berries! Plus they were having an amazing deal on the strawberries, the raspberries, in the blueberries! So now Im doing a chocolate dip for all them yummy! I have decided to start shopping at fresh thyme instead of Meijer or Kroger or any other store except for the Oriental Store for my Asian spices! Fresh thyme is the place to go! They have the absolute best selection for everything! They have the absolute best selection for fresh produce!

First time here, really impressed. The best comparison I could make is a somewhat downsized Whole Foods but generally better prices! Outstandingly friendly and helpful staff. Well thought out services, like at the deli counter. You give your order, they take your name and you go on shopping. When you return later, it is sitting in a refrigerated area ready for you to pick up and continue. I wish I lived closer to them as I would be a very regular customer.

Had to run here to get some vitamins that we excitedly found a month ago. Only to find that the vitamins I came to buy were being discontinued!The store has so many things in it. Its clean, and the cashiers were very friendly. Im sad our vitamins were being discontinued.But the meat sales, and the produce sales were Awesome! Grabbed so many honeycrisp apples, and some big, good looking Roasts! The produce and the meat dept looked especially awesome today!

Maybe take the statement Staff required to disinfect surfaces between visits off your statement. I was there today. NO hand sanitizer at the check out or walking into the store. The check out person had none and didnt clean her hands between orders. I usually carry a bottle in my pocket into the store so I can clean my hands before I go into my wallet, getting my keys out but had left it in the car etc. Not going back.

For an organic grocer,this chain has occasional specials worth checking out. I bought white peaches for 77 cents a pound. Locally best I have seen $1.25 per lb. 77 cents pound green beans vs 99 cents pound. Flavored coffee $4.99 vs $9.50. People nice, store clean.

I just started going to Fresh Thyme recently. And I could kick myself for not going sooner. I am very impressed with their produce selection and their prices are great! Also love that they have mini carts for the kids and a little fruit stand for them to pick a fruit to enjoy while they shop :) also they have coloring pages and stickers for the kids. Overall Fresh Thyme is worth the stop!

Not unlike Fraîche Market or Hole Foods. Trendy, overpriced foodstuffs in a posh-ish setting driving what should be low profit margin foodstuffs up with clever names like organic and Bone broth, lol.Appreciating the variety and prices so high shoppings a pleasure.

Original 1 star review, summer 20. Just left. Employee was stocking the bulk foods, mask off, wiping his nose and mouth with his gloveless hands. I used to like shopping here, and heard they were good about precautions regarding the virus. Cashiers were masked, etc. but it only takes one bad employee to be a superspreader.Update Feb 21. Ive been back several times and this problem was not repeated. Food quality is good, fair selection, some items overpriced, some very reasonable. Good beeer & wine selection, good meat dept (they make awesome brats).

Great source of fresh produce, but in consistently unimpressed by customer service during peak hours. Many times there will be 1-3 (out of six) lanes open during rush hour. Such an easy fix, but they never do.

Review №99

Wonderful store for produce and other certain items. Has more natural and organic options that cant be found in typical grocery store. The bakery items and deli/sandwich/pizza counter items are all great! Fun place to take kids as they have small kids carts and free healthy snacks (apples, bananas, oranges) for them. Lots of items in bulk bins as well to get only as much as you need. Some items can be slightly more expensive but mostly natural items just cost more and they are not overpriced here.

An

Great as always, good deal on wine (20% off on 6 bottles), clean store, quick in and out. Could have more sales and better coupons ($ off when you spend a certain amount) that dont exclude wine purchases.
