Cant say enough about this place. Great specials and amazing swordfish on sale this weekend. Interesting and a great price all of a sudden on specialty pumpkins for Autumn. James is a great checker. Polite and knowledgeable and very sweet. Very nice food and other things at a good price.
I love the store. I visited for the first time after hearing so much about it. It lives up to the good words. The produce section is so pretty and well kept. Personally, I enjoyed the bakery the most. Overall, the store is a great stop for you to go for a majority of your shopping needs.
One of the best little local food markets. The deli is second to none, even with the limited selection, and the staff are all super friendly. Highly recommended
Staff is friendly, helpful and attentive. The self service peanut butter makers and bulk sections are awesome for zero waste living. Also Quorn products are always stocked. I suggest having paper bags for the bulk section as plastic containers provided defeat the purpose of bulk buying.
I do almost all of my grocery shopping here. Considering the size of the store, I think the selection is good. The organic fruit and veggie options are better than most other big chain grocery stores. Also the supplement department has good selection. All of the different members of staff that I’ve talked to have been helpful and friendly.
Amazing store! Fresh products (true to the name) with a balance of semi unique brands and your standard items. Staff was super helpful and positive.
First time shopping here. Not crazy about it and probably wouldnt go again. Way overpriced for items that can be found cheaper elsewhere. Very few items were unique to this particular store so Im not sure why anyone would make this their main store? I was excited to try an organic salad kit not because it was organic but it was just a kit that I cant get at my regular store. I got it home and fixed it and the first bite I took tasted like dirt. I dont normally rinse my bag salads that come in a kit. So this was kind of disappointing and disgusting. They do seem to have an easier to find area of keto and special protein type products. Items like Ezekiel cereal, keto and protein waffles. They had protein powders that we see at the Fruitful Yield store.. But they were at least $5 higher.
Always have a good experience here. The butchers brought out more flat iron steaks since I needed another one. Very helpful staff and good customer service.
Bright well stocked store. Helpers wondering the store to help you find things. clerk at register even packed my frozen purchases in our carrier. We will be going back.
Fantastic experience here! Very friendly employees, clean store, good selection, fair pricing, and nice atmosphere. Fresh 👍👍
Great selection of healthier foods. Was a mix between whole foods and trader Joes
The staff are very helpful and the buffet is stellar! I cant recommend a better place to find local sourced items for your kitchen and home. You must try their organic goat and sheeps milk cheeses!
My favorite local grocery store. Produce and meat are great. Some other things are are limited but what they do have is good. Prices are higher than other stores but you cannot beat the freshness.
Great selection, lots of healthy options. Their meat counter is great, with a big selection of fresh sausages, most of which are available in both pork and chicken.
Very nice and friendly place to shop great variety!!!
Liked the variety of quality fruits, vegetables, bakery and meats. Clean, bright store. Ill be back.
Great selection. Great prices. Being mindful of social distancing and the number of people in the building. Wiping down carts. Not serving samples. Keeping shelves stocked.
Love the store. Lots of plant based foods at decent prices. Organic, live plants, cut flowers, supplements,. Its a nice store
Has some good food selection. However, staff is not friendly at all. Staff does not greet customers!!!!
Good coffee beans and fresh produce plus good deals on some items.
I shopped here for the first time today after seeing that trader Joes had a huge line waiting to get in. I was pleasantly surprised. fresh thyme is like a large trader Joes. They had all kinds of natural selections sugar-free items bulk items great produce etc. I will definitely be going back I loved it. The store was clean and everyone was friendly. Good prices too.
Great healthy food grocery store that is a good alternative to Whole Foods. Ive never been in this store when it is too crowded. Beautiful displays of fruits and vegetables. Service is always friendly. Selections are very good. Highly recommend. Heard they are opening up a ton of these stores throughout the US in the next 12 to 24 months.
Its like a mini whole foods! This was my first visit and I thoroughly enjoyed it. Great selection of organics, but all the produce seemed much better taken care of than larger chain stores. There is also a nicely stocked homeopathic area as well. really wish it was closer.
Lovely store. Filled with an excellent variety of healthy options. They have an excellent selection of Organic Produce, Gluten Free products, Bulk, and specialty items.I love the homemade orange juice they make fresh daily.
They have a great selection of organic produce and meats as well as gluten-free and dairy-free products! Amazing store for the health conscious individual.
Good store to shop for fruits and vegetables if you are in the Batavia Geneva St Charles area. The store was cleaner and the service was better but the prices were much higher than Cermak when I normally buy my vegetables and fruits.
Friendly staff, nice produce
I love the offerings here. And its nice not to have to pay whole foods prices.
Great produce, meats and deli.
The cashier Innam is someone I always look forward to seeing whenever I grocery shop there. She is personable and always makes me feel welcome. Great customer service everytime.
Overpriced and customer service leaves a lot to be desired
We LOVE this store. I do have a couple complaints though. Not big ones really. First for the candy and scooping your own bags area. Its great that you cant do it yourself right now. However, why keep a sign up saying a employee must get it for you when the employees have already pre-bagged them? We should be able to grab a bag and not wait 20 minutes for someone to come grab one for you when they are already bagged. The other complaint is keep fresh soup stocked up. The cold soup reheated is not the same.
Good variety and staff who actually help you find what youre looking for.
I really like the bakery. The staff at the Batavia store is sometimes nice. Today I had a wonderful staff member.
Great selection of locally sourced produce for reasonable prices. Clean atmosphere and pleasant staff. One of the best grocery stores in the western suburbs.
Lots of healthy food items and extremely helpful friendly staff.
Very good place for organic veggies. There are very good options on snacks. Cashiers need some improvement.
Love this place. Everything is ALWAYS so clean and they have a great selection of healthy foods.
I like shopping here they have everything you need, they have fair prices and you can get checked out. That is a super big plus.
Overall this is a great grocery store. I love all the organic produce and vegan products that they carry, and they also have a lot of options for other specialty diets. The bulk bins are a plus. I appreciate that they offer a ton of natural health and beauty products too. Reminds me a lot of Trader Joes and Whole Foods.
Kind of like whole foods with more sane pricing
Its pretty fresh yo
Expensive place. Very clean but nobody around to help. Lots of organic products and fresh produce. I spent $5.07 on fresh basil and 3 garlic bulbs.
Fresh thyme is the whole foods in a cheaper version. Super clean, very friendly employees, huge selection of organic foods and produce...has even a section for dietary supplements and a mini drug store. Sherwood -Elma Trans was here and we love it !!!
Fresh food, great deli and meat counter. Good selection of products, some hard to find items readily available. Friendly and helpful staff
This location has only been open a week and so far I do like it. I am very picky when it comes to my groceries. The produce has been very good and reasonably priced. Especially the sale items. I just bought 6 Avocados for $2.00 for example. I really like the bulk section. I just ground my own peanut butter and oatmeal. Pretty cool if nothing else. Anyway, I hope things stay the same over time.
Nice layout, very good selection of fruit & veggies. Try to get sale items as it can be pricey. Comparable to whole foods, but less people.
I ordered my thanksgiving pies online. I got a text that they were ready. When I got to the store no one knew where or what I was talking about. Lucky they had some on the shelf. I ordered a lattice apple pie that one of the workers found in the freezer. I ordered fresh pies. This one had broken crusts. If you cannot provide a service that you advertise you shouldn’t do it. Very disappointed in this store in Geneva.
Own up on for not labeling prices correctly and having plenty of time to change signs before business opening hours. Giving attitude for customers that have not aware of the changes is not their fault. Butcher shop is under train, for there is a whole team and only one is can make sausage is out on a long lunch 1+ hour break as told by one the employees. One of them didn’t change gloves after cleaning up a mess. I know enough food safety to change out gloves before handling touching anything. I will stick to the store near my home.
Very disappointing Their Meat Blade is broken So no bone-in Ribeyes that they have on sale And thats the whole reason I went there
Love store products very clean and organized
Fresh thyme is the whole foods in a cheaper version. Super clean, very friendly employees, huge selection of organic foods and produce...has even a section for dietary supplements and a mini drug store. Sherwood -Elma Trans was here and we love it !!!
Always a great store to stop by. The sandwiches, pizza, and sushi are always great for lunches
I just love this store. I go every week
It is a drive but worth it. Their sale items usually make it worth the drive. Last visit bought 2 lbs of the large pink shrimp and they were absolutely delicious.
A little bit of everything. Great rotisseries.
Great food. Best grocery store in the area. But...oh...my...goodness... for the love of God, please have a more organized system at the deli and meat counter. It took forever with no apparent line or system, like taking a number.
A great addition to the current grocery stores available. Fresh Thyme has bulk bins as well as bulk honey, oils, and a grind your own nut butter station. Their sushi is also surprisingly good. Check this place out for low waste shopping experience
If i could i wouls rate half a star.
Fresh food, great deli and meat counter. Good selection of products, some hard to find items readily available. Friendly and helpful staff
Different. My wife and I went in just to wander around and see what the place is like. We stopped by on our way home from dinner (so we were full). Its nice. They have things you find yourself wanting to get, and this is a grocery store. But the items they have are not stuff that a typical household consumes. At least not on a regular basis. This isnt a place where you go for your grocery staples. My purchase was a gift for my brother because he partakes in eating unusual meats. Its a thing he does with a friend. I bought patties of antelope, wild boar, elk and goat. Thats just an example of what you can find. Plus theres a variety of items available in bulk.Check it out yourself.
Just did a walk through today as I have never been to a Fresh Thyme before. Nice new clean and bright. The produce, meat,deli and bakery items looked good nice selection and pricing was similar to Woodmans but items looked fresher. will update after I actually buy something
This place is absolutely awesome- excellent produce, awesome salad bar, olive bar, soups, products you can’t find elsewhere. Someone below said their yogurt section was weak...lol! They have all kinds of yogurt you can’t buy elsewhere-the same person also said there is only one kind of coconut milk-there is more than one kind: Their own brand, silk, plus a slew of other nut milks on top of a variety of other dairy free. The same person also said that you cannot determine who the employees are. I find this hard to believe considering they’re wearing bright green and yellow. The juice bar is fantastic, and the healthy living/vitamin & supplement/health and beauty section is outstanding.
Was so excited to find this store. I have issues with anything but grass fed dairy. Here I can even get with cream on top. Yum!
The nice atmosphere is what pulls you in.... I actually bought a few items.... However, when I arrived home an item I purchased was a month old And the customer service was VERY UNPROFESSIONAL..... I would actually go there again for the fresh produce but I would suggest you check expiration dates on packaged items!!
It was ok.. prices were a little high.
This market seems to have it all. Nice, brand new market in Geneva. I went on opening weekend and it was packed with people. Ive downloaded their free app so I can keep up with their current sales. Im planning to go back sometime soon when its not as crowded and I have more room to browse but so far I was happy with what I saw and experienced.
Great place for the vegan diet.
Love going here! Great selection of produce, love the olive bar, meat counter, and a great selection of alternative items (dairy free, gluten free, etc).
Love fresh thyme!! Great health food. Friendly people. Really clean
Nice store with great produce sales and a good selection of bulk foods and homemade sausage.
Nice, could be a bit cleaner. Prices are ok, could be better. Its great that they dont wax all fruit and produce!
My wife and I come for the fresh squeezed orange juice. Its the best.
Awesome deals on produce and meat. I wouldnt buy other groceries here as they are way over priced but I always go for the farmers market foods
Great place to find illy coffee
I definitely recommend this place. Staff is a bit hit or miss though. Some seem completely awesome, produce stocker with beard, pizza guy, and meat guy Im looking at you. Then some seem super lazy. I get our weekly groceries there and of course stock items some week as well, which means I can have a fair bit. The baggers go to a customer with almost nothing where its easy rather than helpingy cashier out. Just an example, but its definitely a mixture. I have had a couple issues with extremely expired items, and store manager Trish (or Trisha or Tish...sorry, cant quite remember now) handled it very well. So my experience hasnt been perfect, but they have good products at reasonable prices and have a much larger selection than TJs and back their products. Id say def give this place a try if youre a TJs or Whole Foods shopper.
Great small grocery store with lightimg that allows you to see everything. Fresh produce, meats and bakery. Great soup and salad bar. Store features a good selection pf wine and craft beer. Some staple items are a bit pricy, but not so much that youd need to shop elsewhere. Parking lot is large and easy to navigate. Staff is very pleasant and professional.
I bought several items today that were very good so they get 5 stars. However I am extremely disappointed since I was enticed to download the app to get $10 off my purchase. The cashier scanned my coupon but it did not take my $10 off and the cashier could not figure out why and offered no solution. She could have tried to inquire about it with a manager but I guess that wasnt an option for her. It was busy so I didnt want to hold up the people in line behind me. I will try one more time but if its going to be a hassle Ill just skip this store in the future.
This place has a lot of vegan items! Im definitely coming back.
Carries things I cant find elsewhere like Giovanni hair products and artisan soaps
Interesting that at least one review that I read blasted the place for being so small but it isn’t supposed to be another Meijer or Jewel but rather an alternative to the big stores. I Like the selection and especially the fresh produce. Another person complained about sale strawberries being on the edge but I didn’t have that experience and I certainly have purchased sale produce from the other names in the area and had been disappointed the next day. This store is a nice addition to the area and I can see buying most of what we need here and at TJ’s. Porterhouse steak last week was fantastic and we have enjoyed the chicken breasts and also ground beef. Nice to have a store with more fresh food options that has nice specials.
Average place. Not overly impressed.
Great alternative to Amazon stolen While Foods.
Great sales on meat and produce! Clean store friendly cashiers.
Its fine, not worth the hype. Trying to land between trader Joes and Whole Foods. Just not really impressed with selection or pricing
The staff is very helpful and friendly.
Good selection, lots of product not found in other stores. Prices are good.
Nice grocery store but a little pricey for me.
There were a vast amount of organic items and an extensive inventory. The prices also were not bad.
Alot of different products and very nice, helpful employees.
Juice bar is awesome, deli is always stocked, tons of organics....can get pricey quick though.
Great store! Amazing variety of natural foods and personal care products.
This place is my go-to. Way better prices than Whole Foods and the food is great quality. Plenty of organic options.
Could use some customer service training. Say hello, or are you finding everything, even Meijer does that. I couldnt find anything, hard to identify who the employees are to ask a question. Yogurt selection is very weak and only 1 kind of coconut milk, but 5 different almond choices. They do have an excellent variety of cauliflower pizza and gluten free and priced decent. And the produce was the best i have seen. They have awesome diffusers priced very reasonably, but their oils are too overpriced. I like that have such different cultural items, and homeopathic items.
Clean, organized and friendly staff. Excellent selection of fresh produce and Boars Head deli.
