Love this grocer. Always nice, clean, organized, and has great produce. Also found this beautiful Fiddle Leaf Fig Tree.

It was my first visit since I just moved into the neighborhood. The staff are friendly, and the products seem to be reliable. I was worried about the price because it was described on Google as a high-end grocery store, but when I actually visited it, I didn't think it was too expensive. The cantaloupe I bought here was really good. I want to visit again next time

My STORE is wonderful! They are courteous and very helpful. I live in retirement home within walking distance. They even let me borrow buggy. I do bring it back. They also let me bring my Callie. Thanks so much!!!!

Always love shopping here. The chicken salad is so yummy and I always get free buttery croissants to go with it. I also really enjoy their seafood salad, quiche and weekly dinner for 4 specials. It's just enough for my family and is usually around $25 for the meal. The Tuesday chicken and beef specials are great as well to stock up. There is also a large selection of specialty items and beautiful floral and gift ideas.

I pretty much shop there for the superb customer service. The to go salads and sushi are always fresh. The impulse buys at the register get me every time. There is always something desirable. It’s so nice to see a friendly face every time I shop.

Rude management. I was sitting outside 10 minutes before close & the manager harrassed me. After I said I was going to leave, they kept coming closer and telling me to go. Do not make a purchase, then sit outside, unless you like getting yelled at by strangers! Especially if you are a student or a woman!

❌ Not good for pickup order: This place had a nice atmosphere for picking up groceries, but unfortunately, my recent experience turned sour. They mistakenly mixed up my Instacart order with someone else's, causing significant confusion and delays. As a result, I was left waiting for an extended period of time, which was quite frustrating and inconvenient.An astonishing 30 minutes for my pick-up! This significant delay exceeded the reasonable timeframe for a supposedly swift pickup process. The prolonged wait left me feeling frustrated and delayed my following schedule.

I was expecting more after all I'd heard about Fresh Market... and the cashier was downright "cold" - did not say a word, even when the receipt came out the printer, he just pointed to it. Not planning to return any time soon. 😔

We just moved to GA. I'm so happy to find a store very much like the one I left in UT. Fresh meat? Yes, please! Fresh produce? They got that too! I'll be back.

I always enjoy going to The Fresh Market as they just have an incredible selection of Boutique items. I particularly like it when they have the sweetbreads like coconut and pineapple, banana bread, Etc on sale for a buy one get one free. This is also one of the only places in town that you can get the Tessemae's Caesar dressing. the atmosphere is great in the store and the employees are friendly and helpful.

Couldn't find Crumbl, so I went to Fresh Market on a whim. Picked up the box of Butter Pecan cookies and the smell alone sent me straight to the checkout. I had one in the car BUT WHEN I WARMED THAT COOKIE UP!!!! NO words, get yours! Yuuuuuumy!!!

Stood at the meat counter for 10 minutes while an employee ignored me. Guess my business wasn't wanted.

Customer service is incredible at The Fresh Market. Their daily specials are great deals. They have so many food choices for different lifestyles. The floral department is beautiful and extremely tempting.

Let me start by saying that the fresh market is pretty cool. The selection of food is broad and the quality is excellent. They have some of the best produce in town. The baked goods are heavenly.The store is tightly packed and the layout is not always logical. The aisles seem narrow and a bit claustrophobic. And I really wish they were more well lit.My biggest problem with Fresh Market is the prices. Their sales are pretty good, however everyday prices tend to be 30 - 100% higher than other places I shop.On the other hand, the regular 10% discount for UGA faculty, staff and students is a draw.

Very good produce, excellent ground chuck for hamburgers. Many different upgraded brands of staples than other stores (flour, pasta, condiments, pickles...) if you want the regular supermarket stuff go to the Kroger across the street, if you want something a little different go here.

Okay, so I have to admit this is not where I do my weekly shopping - prices are a bit beyond my budget. HOWEVER, it's a great place to pick up quality groceries on sale, locate a hard to find item, or grab a ready to heat and eat meal. And more, probably, but I can only share my experience. The ham, gruyere and fig panini I had for lunch today was delicious, and every else in the chef's case looked fantastic. Employees are super friendly and helpful. It's a pop in occasionally place for me, but I'm always happy when I leave.

One of my favorite places to shop for food. Their bakery/deli items are always on point and are SO so good. I also love their by-the-pound coffee, candy, and nuts. They don't have as large of a selection as larger stores do, but I know that I can always rely on them to have great, fresh food. Ps--I usually buy their bakery/deli items if I throw a party, and it's always a hit.

The atmosphere and lighting makes it so relaxing to shop. The staff is ready to help. I enjoy the ready prep meals that they offer weekly. The price is right!

I've visited twice, the first was just a quick look inside because my friend loves it, the second a more intentional shopping trip.Each visit, every worker I interacted with was a pleasure to talk to and they all seemed to enjoy working there. The deli and butcher were both sweet and helpful, I didn't feel rushed (I tend to linger and shuffle around trying to decide). The baker was also kind, I wish I noted their names!The staff clearly care about keeping the inside looking clean and welcoming. The store is small so I'd imagine it's easier, but even so you can notice the care put in. Like it's namesake, all of the fruits, vegetables and meats look (and are) fresh and inviting, albeit marked up heavily in some places.While I wouldn't shop exclusively here due to limited (but purposeful & high quality) selection in some areas, it's definitely worth stopping in for certain items and some things you can't find elsewhere. It's become a necessary stop during grocery trips and I highly recommend stopping by!

This place used to be one of my favorite stores, but the quality of the ready made food has fallen, and the prices are outrageous.I used to ask for a gift card here for my birthday, but 100$ doesn't even fill up a hand- held basket.I do like their cheeses, but my health issues forbid much cheese, and honestly, the big chain store across the street has delightful cheeses, for the occassional cheese and fruit board I like to take to potlucks.

I love coming here. The store is always clean with a wide variety of fresh fruits and vegetables. I love their deli, they have the BEST rotisserie chicken. This is also a great place to locate hard to find healthy foods.

Going here is a little treat I give myself. Just the cheese section is wonderful. Unbelievable variety and there is always someone to talk cheese with and give you tastes. Buffalo cheese...! Who knew ! Sooo good. The name of the place says it all.

Love their Tuesday chicken dinner. Just $12.99 for a whole roasted chicken, 2 sides & 6 cornbread muffins. Note: you can select any 2 non-premium/non-meat sides in the deli case. My family enjoys it and its reasonably healthy and easy.

This is my favorite Fresh Market to visit! The staff is always so friendly and helpful, making my experience a positive one every time. It’s also nice that they offer a UGA student discount 😊
