This store is atrocious, all the way from the products on the shelves, to the store employees. Make sure you check the expiration dates on EVERY item you purchase. Lots of products being sold that are expired. This includes food items and vitamins/supplements. Also make sure your food and vitamins are sealed and unopened. The store workers had a meltdown when I tried to return a supplement due to the package not being sealed and was clearly tampered with. They put the blame completely on me and said to open the package and check next time. I shop at other Fresh Thyme locations in the twin cities area, and those stores are much better ran with much friendlier employees.

It is one of the best green markets in central Minnesota but sometimes they lack the common things like jello they have four different flavors of jello that's it And the meat market is fantastic especially the seafood

Full scale health food store. Cross between whole foods and trader joes. No need to drive an hour away anymore. Lots of fresh produce. Great prices. Store brands and name brands. Bulk foods. Fresh meats. Juice bar. Liquor store attached. Wines, walk in cooler with local beers and make your own 6 packs. Great atmosphere. Friendly staff. What we've been waiting for.

Great fresh fruits and vegetables sections. You can buy just one or 2 if desired. Meat selection is now for the smaller crowd/family with some great deals. We will return, even though we live 30 miles away.

I LOVE this store! They have such a wide variety, and so many items I can't find anywhere else like some of their cheeses. Everything is so fresh, and all of the cashiers are so kind. I will definitely be returning!

So, it's Friday night, you are on an afternoon excursion with your favorite child, (relax, I only have one) and you ask, "what would you like for dinner?" a prompt response reveals a request for steak and potatoes, I humbly grant her request and low and behold Fresh Thyme Market appears on our right. We enter the establishment and a woft of fresh produce and joy fill the air. We skip aisle to aisle collecting meat, vegetables and only the finest of spices. Ok, I can't keep this up. The store is clean, helpful/kind staff and great selection of bulk chocolates/grains/nuts and organics, you get the idea. The food was great, she enjoyed dinner, thanks for helping me around the store guys!

We really like this store. We have not tried much from here yet but the produce and fruits really reflect the "Fresh" in the name. Shelves were very well stocked and the store was clean. Prices were competitive and I always try to remember that you get what you pay for (pineapple was delicious😋). Staff that helped us with checkout was very nice but would benefit from more training when it comes to bagging. So far it has proven to be a great place to shop and I would recommend visiting for your food shopping needs.

I am 85 and need a motorized cart. They always get in ready for me when I come. It is not one of those huge stores but it has everything I need. Staff are helpful and friendly. It is my grocery store!

Super clean store. Very nice employees. Nice selection. Great prices. Produce is nice and fresh. I really can't say anything bad about this store. They are always welcoming. My daughters love the vegan selections. Easily find the things they need. My daughter commented it is her favorite store. Coming from a teenager that's pretty impressive!

I really enjoy this grocery store. Great shopping experience, and a great selection of kombucha I'm not able to find elsewhere.

Prices can range in the higher end, but the sales are often on par or even better than other local grocery stores. I'm a repeat customer here specifically because: 1) their produce is consistantly of the highest quality, and 2) the employees are always friendly and helpful.

I love grocery shopping here. Everyone is so nice and helpful. They have the best produce in town and it's so inexpensive! Great sales each week. I really, really love their homemade chicken sausage that comes in a ton of flavors. It's a great place!

The store is so clean and bright! I love their olive bar and the fajitas meat at the meat counter. Their wide selection of cheeses always tempts me, too! Cashiers are exceptionally personable. On the way out, the aroma of scented pinecones caught my attention. Who knew shopping for groceries could be such a pleasant experience!

Very clean and well stocked natural foods store. Pricing is very good, quality of produce and meat is top notch. The staff is very friendly and very up on what's new and questions we asked about vitamins and supplements were quickly answered with a staff that actually knew what they were doing. This can be a very busy store on weekends I would suggest you go during the week in morning if possible. We have been there at least 2 times a week since they opened in Jan and it's always well stocked and clean including the bathrooms!

You'd think I was crazy to drive an hour to do my shopping, and maybe I am.... Crazy about this store! I enjoy feeding my family quality organic and local foods so at least once a month I travel the 50+ miles to get their quality organic, gluten free and bulk items. Their homemade soap bars are great and don't forget to get their app! It will give you coupons for the things you buy most!

Poor market management. Rude store director, who hates women and under pays employees. Don't recommend working there or shopping there. I worked there for 1 1/2 years as the Liquor Store Manager. They never trained me in the whole time I worked there. They told me that they would later. Later never came. I was running the store all on my own and was told that this baby is all mine to run. Do what I want to.

Outstanding quality and specialty diet items at the best price around. Hand cut steaks are the best I have ever had. Employees are helpful, knowledgeable and will to go the extra mile to ensure a smooth shopping experience. Did not know this initially, but there is a liquor store attached, really cool with a great selection of local beer. Will definitely be back.

My favorite place to shop in St. Cloud. Fantastic produce and love the healthy options at decent prices. I buy my sparkling juices and waters here and appreciate the huge selection of protein and meal replacement bars for when I'm too busy to stop and eat right. Also love trying out new healthy snacks. I always pick up something I haven't tried before. And my favorite part is the cage free, antibiotic free, hormone free, grass fed meats that they offer, and you can get them in pre-seasoned pre-portioned packages so you still get convenience without sacrificing good health!

I love this store, I'm so glade wait park finally got a healthy more natural lifestyle type of store. The staff is amazing and knowledgeable and happy to help with questions you may have. Every time I go, I find new and interesting stuff and products to try. I love the fact they sell more natural products, they have so many products for almost any ailment, you'll be amazed, I was, this store helps me on a monthly or more basis, I definitely tell my friends and family about here.

The reason the shelf’s are so “stocked” and produce is “fresh” is because fresh Thyme over works there workers (ALL of them) while paying the cashiers $10 an hour to hand scan all produce!!!! Oh & not paying holiday pay to your employees for Easter while being open! Get Real! That’s a joke : you don’t offer maternity leave!! What! Fresh Thyme is a selfish, money hungry company that pays OUT NOTHING to employees. Turn over is high & struggling to find help. One cashier sometimes while store is busy! GET WITH IT Fresh Thyme! Paying your employees better would be a start , but not taking care of your employees on Easter & being one of the only stores OPEN!? Disgrace!

This is my favorite grocery store because of the variety, quality and low prices for fresh fruits and vegetables. Their bakery items are fabulous. Staff are friendly, helpful and knowledgeable. I specifically recommend their fresh berries, artisan breads, avocados, vine-on tomatoes, colored peppers, kale, carrots and plant-milks (soy, cashew, almond, oat).

Really like the St. Cloud store! The meat counter has great help- and we find the produce selection very good for a town as small St. Cloud. The freshly made deli sandwiches are one of the best deals one can find in the area- that said - the finished sandwiches can vary greatly depending on who makes them. Still- Fresh Thyme has changed our family's grocery shopping for the better!

They're often understaffed, and it takes a while to get service at the meat counter, and at the registers. The store was a wonderful during its first month when they had three times as many staff on the floor. now it's sometimes hard to get help when you need it, and there's almost always a wait at the registers. That said, they sell a range of things available nowhere else in town. If you're careful and mostly shop the sales the prices are very good, so it's a fair compromise versus driving to Maple Grove to shop whole foods and trader joes. Recommended, but be prepared to wait during busy times, and aware that regular prices are sometimes a bit high.
