Overall decent.. only 2 or 3 registers open at peak time, so there was a little waiting time to check out, but cashier was great, so it made up for it. They were out of 1 basic item I needed.. otherwise, the store was clean & organized, and they had a good sale going on. I will visit again. Thanks for all that you do!

I had a beautiful young lady by the name of Keisha help me. She was at the end of her shift (probably tired) but her customers couldnt tell. She was vibrant, polite and provided great service. She checked me out quickly and was willing to go above and beyond to make sure I had a great shopping experience in the store. Thank you Keisha for your warm welcoming 😊

You should know that Fresh Thyme is not a market that should be compared to any of the larger superstores. They instead provide very high quality foods for prices that reflect that quality. Expect the grocery bill to be anywhere from 50-100% more when shopping here. However, if you are prepared for that it can be a wonderful place to get unique and healthy food items not found elsewhere. Of course they have all of your staples but you will find many other items that are fun to experiment with in the kitchen. A good variety of bulk candy and nuts as well!

One of my favorite places to get groceries. Not friendly on my wallet but the best selection around besides Trader Joe for good, wholesome food as well as dairy and gluten free if you have allergies. Just wish it was more affordable.

I havent been here in a min, but they are awesome for health food type store. They are similar to harvest health, in which they carry hard to find stuff, special dietary stuff. I highly recommend them.

Me & my wife shop here now & then. Great deals on huge boneless chicken breasts. Fresh ingredients are very important in cooking a great dish.like my Homeaide chef salad or pasta salad. Sincerly Dennis & Nancy Merryman., 💏 fryday night is Homeaide pizza night* yummo*🍕 even the dough from scratch*!

Only gave one star because zero isnt an option. I purchased a hair product from Fresh Thyme and it was faulty. I brought the completely full bottle into the store and asked for an even exchange of the same product. The employees refused to allow me to do this because I didnt have my receipt. I absolutely do not recommend this store, they do not stand behind the products they sell and will not guarantee them. Spend your money elsewhere, I sure will in future. This store is supposed to be owned by Meijer, so much for staying local and respecting customers.

Love this little grocery store. It has such a wide selection of meat and produce and its just more relaxing than shopping in a bigger store. The attendants are helpful and the selection is excellent. Thanks for working to keep such an excellent store!

Best produce prices for the quality. Sure you can get cheaper at Aldi’s or Meijer but you’ll have to use them and eat them that very day! I can stock up on my weekly produce at Fresh Thyme and not worry if my strawberries will turn in the car ride home nonetheless overnight. So yes, they are a tiny bit more expensive (nothing like Whole Foods if that’s your concern as well) but it makes it incredibly worth it.Before Covid I could even bring my mason jars in to fill up my bulk items. So convenient and sustainable.

Awesome market with a wide range of products. Very fresh produce, gluten free products, a very large bulk foods, wine and beer, bakery, deli, fish, and full service meat counter. I like that it is always clean and the staff are great. We look forward to shopping here everytime and usually make a special trip to get here.

Paying more to be around white people when there’s a better equipped grocery store right across the street.Mutant small avocados.Only one option of Sun Dried Tomatoes and they taste bad.Trail mix tastes like handfuls of sugar.

I really appreciate Fresh Thyme Farmers Market. They have a bulk bin area which while it doesnt have everything, has most of the essentials as well as a lot of package free snacks, granola and chocolate goodies! They also let you bring your own bags and containers to use with the bulk items. Just weigh your containers at home and label them with a tare weight. They also have a bulk spice counter that even stocks beeswax pellets (not a spice but very exciting for you projects). They also stock lots of organic and raw options.

It is a 15 minute drive for me. But, it is worth it. The produce is always fresh and I love the large selection of organic produce. Also, there are so many options for vegan and gluten diets.And you cannot beat the prices on the fresh produce.

Review №35

My go-to grocery store. Super friendly staff (literally going out of their way to help), great produce (seems like theyre constantly restocking), well stocked aisles(lots of options). Meat can be tricky now with the pandemic, but the staff is always helpful and can usually find what Im looking for.The prices are not the lowest in town, but the quality is second to none. Great selection of healthy food and lots of organic choices.

Fresh produce, olive bar is all prepackaged, grocery section, homeopathic items, deli, meat dept, alcohol, bulk foods and a bunch of all natural items. It is a unique fun grocery store. Bigger than Aldi but way smaller than a Meijer.

Review №42

Nice place to get groceries, fresh produce (good variety of organic, too), etc. Layout/distribution of products not necessarily user-friendly, though. E.g. same type of produce are sometimes in different places (luckily roughly the same area). They probably have their own system that makes sense to them.But if you have time and patience, youll find most of what you need.

Review №45

Love the produce prices and the fact that more or local and fresh although everything else is on the more expensive end unless only hitting sales.Unfortunately, the staff have frequently ruined things like berries and cilantro by putting them in bags with sweet potatos and the like. Pretty absent minded bagging and customer service and Ive been dealing with it for a long time.

Fresh Thyme always has fresh produce and healthy foods! They also have gluten free foods, oat milk, soy milk, almond milk, coconut milk, along with regular milk. Wednesdays are a good day to go if you are looking for good sales!Coronavirus guidelines: Masks are required, staff sanitize their hands.Overall: Fresh Thyme is a great place to shop for fresh ingredients, fresh food, natural vitamins, as well as other natural and eco friendly products.

Workers were SUPER nice; they helped me find some stuff I was looking for and where really fun to meet and chat with at check out. The store is very clean but its so hard to find stuff, everything is marked but it took me way longer than it usually does to find almost anything. It does have a pretty cool interior too; like a less tropical Traitor Joes.Worst part by far was masks. They have the sign on the door saying masks are necessary to enter but they didnt enforce it. It wasnt just people doing the under the nose thing but people having it hanging from an ear or not at all- and not just one or two, a lot of customers. I know what customers do is mostly out of thier hands but Ive seen less below the nose and unmasked people in Mejier, Aldi, and Woodland Mall which have a much broader and a... Shall we say less entitled demographic. I sadly also dont recall a sanitation station (ha) for carts either.Idk the next time I will shop there... But I know if I do it will be after the pandemic.

I love Fresh Thyme. I was in there recently and had the pleasure of meeting the acquaintance of Jake. He was very helpful and allow my friend and I to take jars that candy we had purchased came in so they wouldnt get broken on the ride home. He also said we can check back for more jars as the candy sells as theyll just be tossed. A little goes a long way sometimes. Thank you for the excellent customer service!

Review №55

The store is aptly named. They carry fresh, unique foods and have reasonable prices for the most part. You want that nutritional yeast youve been trying to hunt down at meijer? Theyve got it. Variety choices of faux meat? They have that too. Staff has been friendly and knowledgeable in my experience, and they dont try to avoid your gaze when you need help and are casting out those nonverbals. Its like stepping into the west coast for a spell (if youre into that).

Review №67

So the plus is that they have good produce and meat section. It’s a good place to shop if you have special dietary needs and shop for items you wouldn’t likely find at a more mainstream grocery store. However, there is ALWAYS something that they’re out of stock. And this isn’t random items, it’s stuff like chicken breast or frozen vegetables. It can be frustrating if you plan your meals for the week. Also, their can return is always full and doesn’t accept brands that they sell like spindrift. It’s an okay alternative to Whole Foods (which GR desperately needs) but no where near the quality or selection.

Review №71

First time shopper but you can BET Ill be back!! Unique shopping options (especially for vegetarians, vegans, and the generally health conscious) like Trader Joes, but WAY better produce! And lots of fun and Earth-friendly brands like Whole Foods, but WAY more affordable! They had some great sales while we were there, and a whole two+ weeks groceries was only around $200! For those that need grooming products or vitamins too, they had a REALLY robust selection!Bored of Meijer? Dont need the sheer quantity of Costco? Try Fresh Thyme Farmers Market. 😊(Also dont let the title fool you, this is an AWESOME grocery store and our produce looked great, but there was no actual farmers market. Just an FYI)

My fianceé and I always enjoy our visits here, and we like to search for new deals or unique foods hidden among the other treasures. The deli is a great place for a quick meal, from individualized sandwiches to pizzas made to order in a pretty quick jiffy. We actually prefer this pizza to many of the local pizza joints due to the variety of sauces available, as well as the high quality crust and ingredients. Additionally, the produce throughout the store is always fresh, and the staff are very agreeable. Shop here for a good thyme.

I love that there is a bulk section where you can bring your own containers for refilling. Unfortunately, the prices on the bulk items are pretty high, so we only visit where there is a sale on all the bulk things; youd think bulk things would be cheaper, but no. My favorite thing at the store is the peanut butter grinder; it makes the best, fluffiest peanut butter Ive ever eaten. Staff is friendly and helpful. Sometimes there are good buys on produce, but I prefer Kens Fruit Market for that. As long as Kens doesnt have fill-your-own containers or a peanut butter grinder, I will go to Fresh Thyme for those things.

This is a good store to stop into if you just need an ingredient or two for dinner. Also, they have a ton of options for special diets (gluten free, dairy free, etc, etc). It does tend to be more expensive here, unless you are shopping for produce. For some reason their produce prices are really low, which I love! For being a small market, they also have a good selection of beer/craft beer/wine as well.

I loved Fresh Thyme for having groceries with better ingredients in the processed foods, and more quality, organic options in produce, meat, and cheeses. I also love the ability to buy in bulk options with my own containers of grains, nuts, seeds, granola, coffee beans, pasta/rice, and even homemade peanut butter.TL;DR: great option if you are interested in quality and sustainability over convenience and price.

Fresh time is an awesome grocery store. They have a good selection of healthy food, produce and meat products. They also have self serve cold and hot food which is great. This is also a good spot to grab a quick lunch or dinner. I highly recommend their pizza! You can call ahead to order and they will cook it for you, it is cheaper and better than most pizza joints. They also have really good lunch sandwiches. The only downside is that the checkout lines can be long if your timing is off
