It's the usual Fresh Market inside - nice atmosphere, limited selection, some good stuff on sale. The staff in the center area where the prepared meals are -- well, there's something wrong there, they will IGNORE customers pretty much forever. The meat & seafood section doesn't seem to get restocked fast enough, it's pretty popular. The cashier area is strange - you can never see which lines are actually staffed. The cashiers themselves are always nice.

I want to share what an AMAZING job the meat department does. We visit a couple of times of week, everyone in the meat department is always so kind and helpful!! Kudos to all their hard work! Thank you, Julia Newton

I shop at the one in Cary, NC but i don't like the smell of the fish department at times, smell like ammonia. Also ,that you don't put your grass feed steaks on sale.Your pre pared cooked meatloaf is yucky.. The people that work there are friendly and helpful.

Ordered the Valentines meal special @$59.99. Our selection was surf and turf served with marscapone, rosemary mashed potatoes and steamed asparagus tips. If that wasn't enough, we got to pick a dozen roses, color our choice, and chocolate covered strawberries. The food was delicious. Pickup was seamless. My only suggestion is to allow an option for addl filet and/or lobster tail. It was our best V-Day dinner in a while. We would do it again.

I’m not sure what has changed, I have never been disappointed with any purchases made at this store over the years. But this past Friday I purchased a range of bakery items and the cookies were hard, the Black Forest cake & cheese cakes were old, stale and the cherries on the Black Forest cake tasted like spoiled old socks. It’s Sunday night, I had a house full of eight 17 year old boys & girls here for the weekend and these teenagers wouldn’t eat any of it. $50 worth of garbage.

I was looking for a large turkey for Thanksgiving but none were available in the store. Jessie the store manager took my phone number and had the delivery that came in the next day checked and called me personally to let me know she found me a bird! That is going above and beyond!! So appreciated!

Grocery store in Cary. Clean and has many specialty items. Friendly staff! Has $5 Sushi/some other food deals at times.

Absolutely horrendous experience! I stopped in here to grab some things for the first time since I have shopped at other locations before. What a mistake! Selection was terrible. There were bugs in most of the produce that I looked at. Some of the meat looked spoiled. The staff was not very nice or helpful either! There was one named Izzy i believe that was just rude and acted like he did not know what he was doing after I asked a simple question! I ended up just leaving with nothing! I will not shop somewhere like that ever!

Bought a pumpkin pie for $13 from Fresh Market on Nov 21, 2023. The pie crust is under cooked and doughy. You can almost feel the sugar granules in the filling. High prices and poor quality is not a winning formula for a high end grocery store.

I visited the store to pick up some specialty items needed for an appetizer. After circling the cheese section cold case several times and unable to find parmesan cheeses, I finally asked for help. Two people were standing behind the counter talking and only helping if a customer flagged them down for help. I felt as if I had bothered the young lady when she waved her hand towards a single unrefrigerated display of one piece of cheese and a few shredded containers. I thought it was funny that they only had one piece of cheese and so I took a picture to show friends for a laugh. Once we started using the cheese, however, it was not funny to discover patches of green mold growing in the cheese. We were thoroughly disgusted with the lack of "freshness" The date on the container was more than a week away for a sell by date. I will never buy cheese here again. The recipe also called for artichoke hearts and every single can was dented! So...High prices and second rate is what I found.

Love the coffee, especially the Kona flavor. However, you rarely put coffee in sale anymore. Why???

Had very good experience here with whatever food they have from local and outside of market. Very fresh and organic too. Very picky about specific stuff not a wide variety of brands. Chicken, meat are very fresh too.

Meat Department has their thumb on the scales! I bought 4lb of Pork Boston Butt, took it home to cut in two for freezing and on weighing it is 3.2lb!

Upscale market. Great floral department. No salad bar. Other competitors that are less expensive have better produce and seafood. Great selection of bulk items , sushi and hot food. The most impressive department is their bakery. They do a croissant that is filled with pudding, strawberries and whipped cream in perfect proportions that will leave you wanting more.

Stopped in for some vitamins and supplements hoping to also pick up some groceries. Guess what? they don’t sell vitamins. Kind of pointless to shop there if they don’t sell the main thing I went to shop for. Luckily Whole Foods had what I needed. Will be pretty easy to skip this store next time I need anything.

Very first two visits didn’t go pretty well. The store is pretty decent, clean and tidy but the service was pretty rude. There was one guy at the bakery we stopped by the bakery to buy a cake as it was birthday he asked what are we looking for and then we requested for 2-3 mins. All of sudden he came back within few seconds; we requested for a cake he just threw it on the table.He did not even feel like giving it properly instead he just threw it on the table. Did not expect this behavior on the very first visit. Nobody would want to have an experience like this.

Very pricey, I was looking for a specific coffee brand they had it, but it was triple the cost. I decided to order online instead, online price was 9.99, this store had it for almost $19, that's almost 10$ more, isn't this called price gauging..anyways found all my products at a cheaper price at Wegmans

What a wonderfuly clean store that smells great, and everything is so attractive but yet not too overwhelming big. Nice people, too. The free sample coffee is a nice touch and entices me to drive a few extra miles to shop there.

Arrived at the store to purchase a specific yogurt and didn't see it in the refrigerated section after looking.I walked to the bakery as this was the closest department to inquire.The employee, who stated her name was Margaret, huffed when I asked and said, "You have to find someone in that department. I don't know anything about dairy."Explained I was not able to find anyone. She again huffed and scowled, went into the back, and came out and told me I needed to find a manager and ask them.I felt very unwelcomed and like a bother that I interrupted her day to ask a question.As I was walking out, a woman with a small child approached me and said, "She wasn't very nice to me either."This was my first time at a Fresh Market and will certainly be my last.My experience has shown me that this grocery store does not value it's customers nor their experience.I wrote this review in my car in the parking lot right after my experience for accuracy of the date and time of my experience. 1/26/2023 at 11:15 am.

Haven't been to fresh market for many years because they are very expensive. The expiration date on the item was several months out, I can't believe my eyes. Please see the attachment. Fresh market used to be a good place for fresh goods, guess not now. We told the manager, she seems don't care. Terrible service

Good place for specialty items. I wouldn’t consider this a replacement for the big chain groceries since the prices are significantly higher on most items, as much as double on quite a few items I’ve compared. If you’re looking for decent bakery, dessert, or charcuterie items this one of the better local stores for that type of stuff. Their produce is a bit better then other stores, but you’ll pay for it. They have 3 or 4 specialty items that I can’t get elsewhere so it keeps me coming back a couple times a month.

Oh my goody goodness! I can’t believe I got to meet the GREAT BWTPG working here! I bought out the entire stock of Prime to celebrate!! What a great experience!

Love this place. The produce is always fresh and well presented. The meat selection is top quality and the baked goods are fabulous. Best cheese selection of any stores in the area. Most of the employees go out of their way to be helpful and friendly, except for the grumpy guy in the deli who always seems perturbed if you ask him a question. The only negative is that the prices are steep, but that's to be expected I guess.

I primarily use the online ordering and curbside pickup. Everyone on the staff is amazing - kind and attentive. Communication through the website is great and all produce/meats are the freshest.

Bad experience in the bakery department with the employee named Rachel. She was so preoccupied with something that she was unable to help me even though the people who were right before me were helped . Brought this to the attention of the store manager and they shrugged it off. Not the same type of service you receive at the Durham or Raleigh fresh market.

Great grocery store, I always get delicious stuff from the deli that is very well made. Abbi ( or Gabbi? Not sure) from the deli does an amazing job, and is always very kind and attentive when I come in. The Greek farrow salad is delicious!I would give 5 stars, but I’ve seen some other employees when I come in working in the deli/meat department who don’t seem to know what they are doing or even care to learn about good customer service.Great selection in the rest of the store, if a little expensive compared to some others, the quality is there to justify it.Overall great store, but needs to hire some more workers like that nice girl in the deli/meat!

While we were in the area, we stopped by this location. Fresh Market is always super clean. They have a large supply the best the highest grade of produce, and fresh chicken baked daily. Fresh bakery breads, cakes and pies.
