Organic, natural grocery store offering fresh produce, freshly ground hamburger and cuts of meat, poultry and fish. Deli offering Boar’s Head and store’s own brand of fine meats and cheeses. Dairy, frozen, bakery, bulk and a line of selective brand items. Essential, Omega, CBD oils and other health beauty items. Prices tend to be higher and best to watch for sales. Was surprised to find certain items like green leaf lettuce and cucumbers not available and a limited bulk selection of ground beef. Store was clean and organized.

Talk about fresh!! This place has it nailed. From produce to meats & fish... Im so thankful a friend told me about it. I went for a specialty fresh fish from Australia my friend told me about. It was awesome! Ill definitely be back.

Fresh Thyme is a delightful supermarket alternative. Walking distance from St Marys Campus and hotels; comfortable walk from Homewood Suites. The store itself is wonderful offering niche selections alongside mainstream national brands.

Went to this store for the first time because a brand of product I wanted was said to be sold here. I found exactly what I wanted and picked up some cauliflower tator tots to try. I havent tried the tator tots but the product I truly wanted to try was phenomenal! I will be going back to purchase all in stock pieces of the product I like since they are the only retailer with this product within 50 miles. The cashier was okay, she just didnt seem to want to be there. She wasnt rude, but she definitely wanted to be somewhere else instead of totalling my purchase. I believe that if you are in a customer service position you should provide service that makes the customer want to come back. So, I gave 4 out of 5 stars because the staff are a representation of their employer. I wouldve given 5 had it not been for the cashier because the store was clean and the shelves were stocked.

I love Fresh Thyme! Great selection. Priced competitively. Produce is always on point with a wide variety to choose from.

Love this place for several key reasons. First, it has an excellent mix of both mainstream groceries along with organic or unique healthier options. Second, the meat counter and pre-made deli areas offer a great selection, including some really good seafood and sushi items. Lastly, its a reasonable size store that I can get in and out of quickly when I only need a few items. Its a fantastic place to shop when you are in the mood for something different!

2nd best organic/hippy-dippy health(y?healthyish?) type grocery in Rochester! I want to say they’re owned by a bigger grocer like Meijer so I don’t like them as much as People’s. People’s is better because it’s member-owned (two stores) + they sell more fringe products/brands. Fresh Thyme is a little closer to mainstream. They did have the Uncle Sam cereal I was scouring Rochester stores to find. (Is flaxseed cereal niche now?) This grocery has room for improvement meat- and deli-wise.

Beautiful store. Very clean, brightly lit, and well laid out. Everything here is extremely fresh. You can find things here you cant find at other groceries and the prices are great. They have specialty foods and exotic meats, lots of vegan options, and flavors of beverages I havent seen at other stores.

Fresh food, good service. I went to the meat department and I was interested in the itialian sausage. Being from Chicago where itialian sausage is king, I ask Aden how his sausage compares. He told me the ingredients and I bought one sausage to try. Hi sausage wasnt as good as Chicagos, but it was close and tasty. FT has my business and Aden should get a raise. That boy knows his s__t

Organic & nonGMO products here, but nicely arranged (more L&B, less coop). I was impressed by the produce selection and variety, as well as the meats. Any place that can offer a fresh fruit gratis to children when entering the store has my business. This morning I was there with my grandchild-she saw the bananas we were buying but needed to have one NOW (she’s 17 months old~so this means real tears). I ran back to the front & got her a banana! I’m happy to say we all were happy after that! We had some coffees from the coffee bar! Everybody wins!

I visited Fresh Thyme Farmers Market for the first time. I was blown away by the beautiful produce aisles! They were story book in description and almost unbelievable. My wife and I walked them twice just to take in the colors. The store had a similar feel to a Trader Joes with a variety of specialty foods that can be hard to find. The prices seemed in line with competitors. I would recommend stopping in for yourself.Eyes of an Engineer Review.

I’ve seen upper management yell at their workers on the floor! I use to be a usual customer but now since they got new management I’ve not seen the same good workers as I use to anymore!! So that means somethings up! They never have any paper bags when I visit. it just doesn’t make sense since they’re basically an organic version of hyvee.

This place is always beautiful... the produce is some of the best in Rochester. Large vitiman/supplement section. I use the CBD products, they work on everyday aches and pains as well as neuropathy. A little speedy but worth it if you have the extra cash flow. Download the app for deals to save $$

This store has the best produce I’ve seen in Rochester! And it has fun little activities for kids to do throughout the store (including mini shopping carts for them). Really nice setup and appealing to the eye. The parking lot was a little crazy, and some items can be found cheaper in other stores, but the discounts on the produce are definitely worth while.

We love the deli meat. Fresh Thyme gave us a third place to value shop for the best price. There are a lot of items we buy but there are many items that are overpriced. Still, there are great buys. Get the app for further discounts and make use of the Wednesday sale overlap. The store is clean and staff are helpful.

Great fresh produce, at great prices! Grapes 88 a pound, fresh fantastic looking green beans, 99 a pound. You wont find those prices anywhere else! They have great prices on many things that dont come close to the prices, even organic is lower than other stores. Even hubby goes in and to peruse around without complaining!

I wouldnt really call it a farmers market, not in at least what I normally think of as a farmers market. It is however a top notch grocery store. Great produce selection, and an excellent salad bar. We bought some hummus and some sushi for lunch. Sushi was pretty good for having come from a grocery store.Also, the guy at the deli counter was SUPER helpful. I didnt really have any other interactions with the staff, but this guy was a delight.

Last week the produce department went above and beyond for me. I drive a vehicle for people with special needs. It has a wheelchair lift that clangs against the door a lot. The noise level is difficult for my more sensitive passengers. The produce manager Brian and his assistant manager gave me a few pieces of that black foam that they weren’t using in their produce displays. I was able to cushion that lift with them and now my passengers have a more comfortable ride! Thank you Fresh Thyme!

Thank you for your wonderful store. I love cooking and fresh foods but the downtown farmers market is too much for me to handle with my walker. Even my DH is looking forward to our next visit. We tried both bison and wagyu ground beef which were excellent on the grill! A very kind young man was replacing fresh cantaloupe and advised us to use right away. He was so right and my, it was delicious. My husband has diabetes and reluctant to eat fruit, indeed we will be back soon. Thank you. Kindly, Jude

Review №96

I only go here if they have good fruit sales. Fruit is okay quality if you pick it right. I have gotten some fruit that was moldy. I gave two stars only because the prices are really really high on items here. Basic things like bread and milk are still quite expensive. You can go to the gas station that is just a block over and get decent priced items like the necessities.

Super cute, highly decorated (IE with fancy decor and signage) but expensive for things that are not on sale. Theyre kid friendly in that they give out a free piece of fruit to children at the door and also have a store mascot which is a tractor that they hide and if the children find it they can have a free lollipop from the cashier. On the other hand the middle of the store is completely filled with open bins of bulk candy which while lots of fun is not exactly fun when you have young children and are trying to grocery shop efficiently lol. I was impressed with the selection of candy though on my brief walk past that area. The lady in front of us in the cashier line had purchased bulk lucky charms marshmallows which was pretty neat.
