Excellent choice for quality meats, exceptional produce and specialty and organic foods. Good selection of supplements. Small but comprehensive selection of bulk coffee beans. Plenty of mouth-watering bulk chocolates at competitive prices (try the dark chocolate cranberries!).If you like peanut butter, try their house brand: Fresh Thyme old-fashioned peanut butter contains ONLY peanuts and salt. Its also safe for dog treats, because there are no sweeteners. Youll need to stir, but who cares; its the very best! Priced comparably to economical grocery brands. (Tip: smaller jars are easier to stir, because you can reach the bottom.) Available in your choice of creamy or crunchy. Bonus, theres no palm oil, so no harm to orangutan habitat.If you have time, stop in; you wont be disappointed.
I love shopping at Fresh Thyme Market. With me having to change what I eat, they have a variety of healthy foods. Fresh Thyme Market is my first place to start my shopping,
Extremely disappointed with this store. My disabled mother wanted to purchase a watermelon and was able to get it into her cart. The store was not busy, so she asked a cashier if someone could help her out to her car because getting the watermelon out of the cart would be a difficult task for her. The cashier told her they would not help her out to her car, but instead they would just place the watermelon in a bag. There were multiple employees standing around chatting with each other at the time. My mom left in tears unsure if she’d be able to get the watermelon out of the cart or not. Luckily there was one nice employee collecting carts in the parking lot who helped her. He is the reason for this store getting two stars instead of one. He seemed puzzled that no one inside would help. I reached out to the corporate email weeks ago to ask if refusing help out to a persons care is the stores policy, and never received a response from them. I will never, ever go to fresh thyme again after the way they treated my mom and the lack of response from corporate.
Love this store and Treena is absolutely wonderful. Nicest employees!!!!
My favorite thing here is the ready to eat barbecue ribs! I used to get the sushi but now I never know whats in it and they dont have it labeled so I havent gotten it in over a year. What a shame.
Usually have good experiences here. Have a great selection and friendly staff. But make sure you seriously open and inspect the produce that is packaged. I just bought strawberries last night. Opened them today and are covered in serious mold. Pic posted.
The store is clean and has a variety of quality items. Great organic fruit and veggies. Staff is very friendly and helpful!
Love this store- some many healthy options- and their $5 sushi on Thursdays!
Expensive but worth it. Very helpful staff. Delicious produce. Great beer selection. Their in-store brand is priced fairly.The freshly ground peanut butter is honestly my favorite snack in the world right now. Somewhere between crunchy and creamy consistency. No preservatives. No added sugar. Divine.
Recently shopped here on a recommendation from a friend. Was impressed with both the quality and prices of the meat and produce I bought. Ground beef was lower in price and of comparable quality to other local grocers. I also purchased celery and carrots, which were also of lower price and similar cost to other local options.I really liked the store layout. Having the produce in the middle of the store made it easier to shop for what I needed. Planning to return soon for more.Thanks for being great.
Very large produce section with a HUGE variety of fruits and vegetables. Weekly sales on produce make it worth an extra stop.Well organized appealing display. Neat and tidy.Ive only gone there for produce, so cant review past that section.
Larger store Good sze alise Multiple choices Good selection Helpful team members
I went the first time today. I counted at least 5 customers and 3 staff with masks on their chins. Just because the weather is nice and the numbers are down, doesn’t mean you can play fast and loose. I don’t blame the employees though because the examples start at the top. What good is it to be a “health” store if you can’t protect folks basic health?
Great selection and incredibly helpful staff. A really solid choice for finding foods that fit diets and food restriction needs.
Wonderful store! Fresh Thyme carries many uncommon brands, while trending towards the healthier food zone than their local competition. Its easy to navigate and its conveniently located. Today and always so far my experience with them was great and my only problem with them would be their hours. But then again everyone has cut their hours unfortunately, so its more of a complaint about the state of the industry as a whole. All in all its a great place to shop for groceries in QC.
Good produce, average prices, it was a little late for lunch and the soups were sad looking.
Great variety. Staff is always so nice!
Great store. Cashier even had a joke. Great guy. Clean place.
Friendly people, nice variety and unexpected items I cant find elsewhere!
The food is reflective of the name. Fresh. Fresh produce. Fresh meat. Fresh baked goods. Fresh made peanut and almond butter by you. Fresh pizza and sushi. Fresh honey, syrup, and so many things I cant remember.They have a stand for kids to pick a treat. Usually it is filled with fruit snd my daughter loves to pick out an apple, banana, orange, or even s peach or pear and eat it as she roams the store with me.
Love this store nice clean place to shop and organics
First time going to this store and will definitely go again. The produce is fresh and priced very nicely. They have a wide array of items available here and also lots of vegan options, if interested. The store is very clean and the people that work there are very friendly and courteous.
Didnt have what I came for, but still a great place to shop.
They have a tractor on the wall. My kid digs it
Im spoiled. This doesnt compare to Whole Foods or Central Market. They do ok for a small city. But, if you want special items, take the drive to a larger market.
Lot of nice fresh produce and other groceries. Check it out@
I love Fresh Thyme. Ill get fresh produce here which is fairly priced for the quality, but I mainly come here for their extensive supplements. Theyve got everything you could need. This is also the only place Ive seen that sells high potency probiotics that are actually refrigerated too! Thats very important to me and it makes me happy they have a huge selection as well
I love shopping this store. It is clean and well organized. Their produce department is really special. Everything is fresh and prices are good. The staff is friendly. I can get paper bags for my purchases while many there stores use only plastic and wont take it back. Loading up the dump with more plastic is awful so good for Fresh Thyme.
Very friendly personnel. Great fish, meat and produce.
Their produce is very fresh and reasonably priced. Their bakery department is phenomenal!
Super clean and great selection. Staff is always friendly and helpful.
They have good stuff..I love the baked chicken 8 pieces for $6.99 yay for dinner!!🥰👍
The best grocery store Ive been to in my life for buying produce. They have a great variety, great quality, and decent prices!
Lots of great fruit and bulk products
Prices are alittle high, great service.
Great prices, good selection and friendly staff. Parking is convenient and store is clean and organized well.
Pricey but they had what I wanted.
Its like a year round farmers market. Friendly knowledgeable staff can answer just about any question. The produce is so fresh and beautiful and the prices are well below the competitions inferior product.And when were not dealing with pandemics the olive bar is a joy to behold....I miss the olive bar...sigh.
Great gluten free options!
Great store with friendly employees that know where things are and very helpful.THE FOOD REALLY IS FRESH AND AT A GOOD PRICE.
Great options and customer service
Good helpful staff, good range of food.
Love love love this place! Fresh Beet juice !! Yum
Best health food store in the area. Some vegan options. Very similar to sprouts farmers market out west.
Hugh priced, hard to find what youre looking for.
Quality fresh food, I can really taste the difference.
I love this market. Fruits and veggies are fresher than other grocery stores. Prices are lower as well. Plenty of staff to help you and actually are knowledgeable about the product. Lots of fresh grains and other items sold by the pound in self serve bags. A great variety of spices. Some I never heard about before. Only draw back for me is limited supply of no added salt products. Still my favorite market.
Hands down, the best value on produce in the area. Always fresh and a wide variety from which to choose. Excellent selection of spices - many hard-to-find varieties at good prices. Nice variety of canned seafood if you are looking for oysters, anchovies, clams, mackerel, sardines, or imported tuna.
Concern for customer? YES, 100% The only grocery market in town which insists upon customer protection by wearing a mask. Oh yes, hardware stores require masks; but not the rest of grocery stores. THANKS Fresh Thyme; you are the greatest yet again!!!
I enjoy stopping into Fresh Thyme for their produce and meat deals. They also have delicious options at the bakery (like the double chocolate muffins!). Store is always clean but sometimes the checkout lines can be a little long than other stores and I have never felt that the customer service there is that great, most always look like they hate being there. But I do look forward to trying out their sub counter soon!
First time shopping here. Staff was helpful, especially the butcher. Great selection of fresh brats in many flavors. Bakery was well stocked and very fresh. Many items not found in other local grocery stores. Will visit again.
Great Produce Department
Excellent selection, and easy to navigate thanks to lower shelving. Many food items Ive never seen anywhere else, but they have all the basics and a decent produce and meat selection. App is great to use for deals.
I didnt go in but I did drop the hottest freestyle of my life in the parking lot.
Well stocked shelves clean
The best price on organic vegetables and fruit
Nice store great for veggies and essential oil.
Noticed on the way out that they dont allow concealed carry in their store. Given that we have seen how well gun free zones work I wont be back.
Great variety you wont find in a regular grocery store. Prices are high but worth it
A great grocery store. Some excellent bargains if you use their weekly ad.
Lots of organic options and due to which makes it pricey.
I usually love this place because the produce and prices are awesome. It seems to me that the management needs to be more aware and observant of their employees. The checkout staff and floor staff during this time of corona virus appear to have been observant of practices and the installation of plexiglass barriers gives a sense of security. Unfortunately when shopping the meat department on 7-17-2020 the person at the counter had his mask at half mast below his nose. This caught my attention and I didnt say anything to avoid conflict. Then I looked back at the window separating the counter and the meat cutting room. The meat cutter had absolutely no mask on. Customers as well were in the store without masks. Unfortunately many stores are putting up signs about masks being required and not enforcing this rule with employees and customers and this one was no exception. With the majority of their clientele most likely having health issues from allergies to immune disorders it seems to me that they should be much more cautious than the general run of the mill establishment. I suffer from both of these. I usually made a stop there about every 10 days on my last visit to the QC I skipped it. My only hope is to avoid this virus until the hospitals have room and better treatment of symptoms and my lack of confidence in businesses to help in that matter has become sketchy at best. I only hope the management sees this and corrects the situation as I really love the store itself.
Fresh Thyme is my go to when I need that alternative flour, sugar replacement or something that my regular store doesnt. I absolutely love their produce!
Super clean and great selection.
Great place to get organic meats and vegetables.
I love this store. I found a few really good buys today
You can find hard to find meats. Healthy foods. They carry lots of vegan food stuff. Clean . staff is very helpful n polite. If you are looking to eat right this is the place.
I go to fresh thyme often and on this particular day I was in a hurry and needed to get in out. The girl that bagged and rang me up was so friendly and sweet. She could tell I was in a hurry and she rang me up quickly and efficiently. I believe her name was Alyssa and I told her I appreciated her quickness and her pleasant smile. Great workers like that will by why I will continue to go back to this grocery store.
Love this place!Equivalent to a smaller Whole Foods or Trader Joes. Anything that you can think of they have with a great selection of fresh produce.Huge parking lot so parking is convenient and establishment was super clean and very well organized. Obviously with a health food store its get what you pay for so prices are a little increased but its quality products youre receiving.
I was looking for a specific brand that they used to carry. The store clerk directed me to the store brand and offered it to me to try for free. I thought that was a really great gesture. I would return based on that alone.
Good product selection. Often special pricing. Like bulk buying opportunities (eg, coffee, peanuts, cereal).
Variety of everything and cleanliness and friendly people.
Not worth the hype
Love Fresh Thyme, good food, organic if you want it, bulk foods at reasonable prices, disinfecting going on, people staying well apart..Not where I would buy household products, but food and supplements are great here, good sales. Friendly customer service. No empty shelve.
Excellent produce, fresh meats, reasonable prices. Staff is extremely friendly and helpful. Wish a store was located in Cedar Rapids.
I want to start by saying I love shopping at Fresh Thyme however I refuse to step foot inside after what happened.Weeks ago I was there with my boys buying groceries we were waiting patiently in line. A man came out of no where who seemed to be the manager. He takes one look at the line and starts barking orders at the elderly cashier and rather than helping the line he continues to denigrate her.Things were tense in the line after that and to break the ice I said to another person in line how at least HyVee will open another lane. They agreed with me and said they were going to be done shopping there too after that. Waiting is one thing but putting up with anger should not be part of the grocery experience!I made complaints, gave them several chances and its just a horrible experience every time. Part of the reason we love shopping at Fresh Thyme is the friendly atmosphere not hearing people get mistreated by their superiors.Due to managers like Br___ youve lost a customer for life. HyVee is closer for us but we loved the food and atmosphere at Fresh Thyme so for a while it was worth the extra expense. Its really sad for us because its the one place my kids would sit still when shopping!I feel awful for anyone caught working there during these COVID times and now they have to get yelled at? Its 2020 and people notice how you treat your employees. So no more Fresh Thyme for our family, sorry.
They have a great selection of meat vegetables and fruit probably the best in the Quad Cities.
This was my first time going there Im impressed, good fruit, clean, friendly
Always a great place for good fresh food.
I always have a good experience at Fresh Thyme. I mostly buy produce from here. I have had really good luck with fruit from here. I have had terrible luck at other stores buying fruit. One example is the peaches. When you buy the peaches and they may happen to still be hard, you can let them sit out a day or two until they soften. I have had peaches from other stores if you buy them hard and let sit out they never get soft and taste terrible either a funny taste or no taste at all. I like that they sell a lot of bulk items here as well. I would recommend you give it a try if you have never been there.
Best place to buy fresh fruits and vegetables...quality and price both! Deli meat selection is great and theyll cut it to your desired thickness. Excellent deals on meat. Healthy selection and organic options. Check the weekly add for good deals on pricing. Friendly staff.
Absolutely Beautiful
Have a great sale on chicken breast. Cooked up very tender and moist. My wife also bought a bag of cherries that she said were very good as well. Nice store that has a very good fresh meat counter with a nice variety of seasoned meats and fish.
Fresh Tyme is by far the best grocery store in the Quad Cities. Best in produce and meats. High quality for a great price.
Fresh Thyme Farmers Market offers a wide selection of fresh fruits, meats and vegetables. They carry a full line of Boars Head deli meats and a good variety of cheeses. Checkout was fast and efficient and the staff were both courteous and helpful.
Great place to get decently priced fruit and vegetables. The staff is always very helpful and knowledgeable! Although it can get pricey depending on what you get, everything has a price/weight or price/number on every item sticker. So it makes it easy to compare to places. They also run deals weekly, if not daily.
Clean store, quality meat, fresh organic vegetables and fruit. Very decent prices
Fresh made-in-store chicken sausages.You wont settle for brats on the grill again!Produce is great quality.Many specials throughout the week.Hot soups and fresh salad bar.No fuss dinner items, hot and cold.Health items you can only find in specialty stores.Try Fresh Thyme. You will love it!
Just walking in, everything is so pretty and aromic..good feelers galore. Great selection of all things food and body.
Employees are courteous, friendly, and knowledgeable. Good quality groceries.
THIS PLACE IS THE BEST! Beautiful store, beautiful food, beautiful people. All employees are super sweet people. They give you the option to choose paper bags over plastic, so you better choose paper, otherwise what are you doing? Awesome store.
High quality produce, organic, and natural products. The house brand has some good basics. Shop the sales for amazing savings. This is my go-to grocery.
Very nice. Free parking.
I love to go there and get my fruits and vegetables they have it really fresh.
This is my 2nd most favorite natural food grocery store. Good sales in their ads. Great atmosphere. Enjoy the large selection of bulk items. Fun coffees. Always 2 different samples you can try. Amazing freshly squeezed orange juice that they do in store!
This is my absolute Favorite grocer in my town. The produce is the Best. I shop here once a week and can buy all my veggies and fruits and meats for about $75.00 And that is for a family of 5. The staff is always friendly and happy to help you find a product or just say hello. This is a place where shopping is not a chore. You really should shop here once. It will be your Favorite grocer too. From dairy to veggies to the freshest meats and great sushi. I Love Fresh Thyme.
Greatest place for your fresh produce and groceries also health care needs
I absolutely Loved my shopping experience, at Fresh Thyme! Got so many good things: Fresh Green Beans, Watermelons, garlic, avocados, Granny Smith and Honey Crisp apples, a bag of small yellow, orange, and red sweet peppers, a bag of Tender, sweet green beans - And a nice big roll of sea-salted Amish Butter! All so Fresh, and Yummy!
Very nice, clean store. You can find good produce for relatively low prices. Delicatessen is good too. The bakery does a pretty decent job and the hot food section is also good. I wish they had more options for hot foods, maybe more than subs and pizza, make it more like a Whole Foods. The seating area is not very big but it is comfortable but it doesnt have a view . Staff are very friendly and helpful
