Easier to navigate than big box national chain stores. Well stocked. More fresh seafood options than in regular grocery stores. The best part? Real humans at check out!! People who greet you, inquire about your shopping experience, and express appreciation for your patronage.

One of the classiest establishments to shop for fresh products at! Staff is always friendly atmosphere is most welcoming but prices when these two things occur are high. Upper middle class can afford to shop here comfortably without checking out the price. Has good sales on fresh produce and meats on a weekly basis that make for a great bargain for the average shopper. Variety and selection are huge and everything is easy to find. Absolutely love fresh thyme!!!

Great produce most of the time. Its been in rough shape lately, depending on what youre looking for. Im sure part of it is issues in shipping, since everyone is struggling with staying stocked lately. Thats certainly not the stores fault. The meat and seafood counter is fantastic, the made in house sausages are a must try. Best selection of dairy free ice creams Ive seen in the area. Lots of grains and snacks in the bulk isles. Be prepared to wait to check out, again Im sure labor shortages lately are an impact.

Not really my kind of place but one of the employees was a little odd and cut my dad off from getting into the milk for about five minutes then as we turned to walk away, stopped us and pointed to a lactose free brand. Just an odd interaction with that guy. Its a great place if you want more organic and healthier options. They even had areas to grind your choice of coffee beans and make your own peanut butter.

Love this place! Possibly the kindest people in customer service Ive ever met--I left my debit card at home (in STL) but didnt realize it til I got to the checkout, and the cashier paid for my groceries!Please dont ask them to do this (I didnt), but it was so sweet, and I paid it forward--I was actually buying ingredients for food for a sick friend.

Generally dont shop here much due to higher prices...but there sale item are very reasonable and well stocked! Got corn on the cob 4 ears for $1.00 and boneless skinless chicken breasts for $1.79 a pound. Not like some stores that advertise a few low priced item but then theyre out when you get there...theyre well stocked on theyre sale items. Quick to get in and out!👍👍😊☺

I wish that Fresh Thyme were more natural food centric instead of a Mashup of conventional and whole food groceries. I do love purchasing meat and produce here because they seem to have better quality and fresher options than other grocers in the area.

Fresh Thyme is clean, bright and well organized. It has a wide variety of fresh produce, a deli, meat selection, vegetarian, vegan, alcohol, dry goods by the ounce including coffee beans and fresh peanut butter, it also personal care items. Generally prices are good and they are even better as part the weekly specials offered. There are organic products and produce and wholesome cleaning products. Fresh Thyme feels welcoming, kind of upscale in a bohemian sort of way and the staff are invariably friendly, helpful and able.

Small, but to me thats good. Plenty of choices from produce, meats etc. Fair prices and friendly employees. Have been here often and look forward to it and Im not crazy about grocery shopping.

Great grocery store and one of the best in the area for produce. Love their vegan options. They have opportunity to keep increasing them. I appreciate their kombucha options. The have a great local selection and their branded products are always of high quality. Staff is always personable and friendly. I enjoy both shopping with a grocery list and just browsing and figuring out meals. I discovered their phone app recently which has been helpful with digital coupons which inspire trying new products.

I can always find something interesting at fresh thyme. Meat and bakery department are lovely, have a wide selection and priced fairly. Produce is a not the highest of quality. I’m a big fan of the bulk food section, but it has been closed off since COVID.

I really really enjoy this store. Its pricey but their quality and variety is well worth it. I go out of my way to shop here even when other stores are closer to me because its just that good. Im glad this place exists out here on this side of the river in the midwest, its a life saver.

Review №25

We love, love, LOVE this store! It offers the best of all worlds. The store is clean and the layout and presentation are just lovely! They offer organic and non organic foods with pricing that doesnt set you back a whole months rent like some other well known establishments. Moreover, although youre inside, it feels like youre outside at the fresh market like back in the day and the customer service is refreshing too!😁

Review №26

The store itself is wonderful, but be careful if you are ever charged twice! CORPORATE is the problem. I was charged 219.45 twice. It was accidental of course, but it has taken over a month to work this out, and I am still waiting to be reimbursed. The employees on site are very kind and understanding, but corporate should be ashamed. That is a substantial amount of money for someone to have to wait on for over a month. I give five stars for the store in Fairview Heights, and I give ZERO stars for corporates slow handling of this issue.

Still a nice store. Feels like a higher caliber than other local grocery locations. We go here mostly for the wider variety of fresh fruits and vegetables. The peanut butter than you can grind and squeeze on demand is amazing too

Review №37

I stopped by for lunch and was not disappointed. I had the soup/sandwich combo. The store itself had a lot of great selections, prices vary from really well price to some over priced items. If there were a store located closer lets say to Edwardsville it’d be my go to. During my visit the staff seemed fairly new and not really well trained (not knowing how to wrap a sandwich/what soups sold or cashiers not knowing lunch specials) other than that it was a pretty good visit.

Review №38

They stopped customer pizza orders. They are willing to cook premade pizzas but upon seeing the case with literally 1 cheese and 1 pepperoni pizza didnt even bother. Dont get me wrong the staff is great, food selection good but the main thing I looked forward to was making my own custom pizza.

There is way too much to offer at this store. Their items may be overpriced, but are great quality, and if you look a bit, there will always be a deal that you cannot refuse. I have appreciated Fresh Thyme for a significant period of my life, and I can still state that this beautiful, comfortable store is a blessing to have in an area where I can reach it on foot if necessary. I also like that their customers are not pushy or oblivious; social distancing is important, after all. In a nutshell, I recommend Fresh Thyme for proper produce. Best wishes and thanks for reading.

Nice store for organics and health supplements, good variety. Reminds me of Sprouts Farmers Market. There was a truly heinous smell walking through the door, like spoiled meat, but it disappated as I walked further into the store.

Fresh Thyme is very comparable to other grocery stores. I like shopping there, because I can find alot of the whole foods that I need.

Ch
Review №49

I like that I dont have to travel too far to get a store like this. Driving to whole foods is such a hassle and always packed into a small place. I appreciate the gluten-free, corn-free, and soy-free options they have. While its not everything I need in one store but it definitely helps get most out of the way. I also love that the people who work in the health & beauty area do an amazing job with customer service, in addition to the cashiers!

If I need large selection of fruits and vegetables at resonable prices, and I can not make it to a farmers market, this is my go to spot.

My favorite grocery store. A cross between your local grocery store and whole foods without whole foods prices. Great prices on organic produce.

The butcher Steve and Mike, the store Key manager at Fresh Thyme have excellent customer service skills. Some business lack this major component. As difficult as times are with all that is going on, that extra bit of kindness goes further than you know. My husband and I will always shop where we are treated with kindness and the products are fresh. Thanks so much gentlemen

Fresh Thyme is AMAZING! Its one of my favorite stores. The downside came when I was trying to enter my rewards number. The cashier bypassed it, and didnt even attempt to go back when I asked her. It seemed like it was an inconvenience for her.

Love this grocery store! Their meat selection is very good. Get their thick cut bacon, sold by weight, youll never go back to prepackaged bacon. Their produce is very fresh. Their health and beauty section is outstanding. Try their soup and salad bar, made to order pizza, fresh sandwiches, or sushi if you want a quick but delicious meal. Lots of organic options.

Review №77

Worth the price! Very high quality options. I love the sushi here more than what some restaurants serve lol. The Fresh Thyme brand has many delicious items. I recommend the chocolate mousse. I also love the different types of water and other beverages available. They even have a juice bar.

Open spaces between the aisles allow you to browse and not feel cramped. A wide variety of fresh fruits, veggies, grains, nuts, spices, and freshly baked bread make for a great shopping experience. All carts and baskets are being sanitized by the store before use by customers. Safe social distancing is practiced upon checkout to contribute to a healthy environment! Thank you! 🤗
