Aug 09, 2017 - NEVER AGAIN. HR should really audit this local stores scouting research for type of personnel which would interact with customers. Specially in the Florist department. Purchased several orchids in a rush for my clients, and 2 of the 5 orchids had broken leafs. An employee by name of (((Fannie))) was very rude and disrespectful. As we stopped by with one of my clients to exchange the orchids, this employee disgruntledly told us we should look a the orchids prior to paying for them. Politely, I mentioned that I was in a hurry for a business meeting. I asked the employee if I could take a look at the orchids on displayed, and with out any warning, like a demented person, she blabber out-loud with a very sarcastic chuckle a racists remarks against us. She said Mexicans should stick to Wal-Mart. I was embarrassed not only for my client who is native from Chile (South America), but speaks fluent English. I was completely astonished by such ignorance in such a high-end location. I requested to speak to the store manager (David Applebaum), but apparently he was in a meeting. I am ashamed and disgusted as a customer.

Slight sticker shock? Yes. But overall, better quality foods. Pricing more in tune with Whole Foods but I have found the quality of produce and foods better here than anywhere in the area. Prepared foods are much better here too. Background classical music....helpful staff create a nice atmosphere. One small example: One of my favorite salads I used to purchase from Whole Foods is the Seafood Salad....until I tried it here. The Seafood salad here is lighter...and does not have onions in it. (Most salads at Whole foods have onions in them which makes it impossible to eat if you have any social or business engagements). Nice atmosphere!! Oh...the butter croissants are amazing. Just get ready for slightly higher prices. I still buy beef at Publix. Tried it from here once Ribeye was about $4 to $5 more per pound...and honestly, I couldnt taste the difference. So Publix still has me on beef. But Fresh Market is still my favorite place for most items.

First time Ive been to this particular Fresh Market. Monday June 12th at 4:45pm, I was surprised the parking lot was empty until I went inside. Store was clean, associates were nice but produce was terrible. I picked up an avocado and my thumb went right through it, the next 2 I picked up did the same. Small oranges were worse, MOLDY AND ROTTING. I picked up chicken and ground beef, I have no idea if they are any good as I havent gotten home yet as I was paying a lady came out of the bathroom saying there was no soap or paper towels. This store was a disgrace to the Fresh Market name. I will not revisit this location, I will stick to my Wiles and University location where I know everything is fresh.

I agree with other reviews on here, I love FM, section is great, the store is clean and there are some good prices when they have promotions. However, one a few occasions produce has been less than fresh, and the employees at this location are not friendly at all. The deli counter employees are a nightmare. They act like they do not want to be there and they definitely do not want you there. Its really bad. The meat counter is not much better. Store management at this location needs to keep an eye on this. And do not try calling the store, no one picks up the phone. Such a shame, this location is roomy and beautiful, but very poorly staffed.

I miss the nuts and candies like the other store has. The ambience isnt as genuine as the other store either. And except for the meat market, the staff isnt as helpful or even very nice when you ask them something. With that said, I usually wait to go to the store near Broward when I want to enjoy the experience (and probably spend more!) too bad, this store is less than a mile from home.

How on earth do you run out of your one day weekly special! What kind of store management doesnt order enough to cover not only their chicken breast, but doesnt even have enough split breast with bone to finish out the day. This certainly hasnt been the first time, and Im sure it wont be the last. What a poorly run operation.

The service is top notch. If youre a couple or small family the choices are many for making a nice meal at home and still feeling like youve treated yourself. They run great specials. You can find new healthy items to try. Their prepared foods in the deli are delicious. Its a beautiful experience to shop there.

The store its self is great, the employees could be more polite. For the neighborhood its in I was very surprised to not have more helpful friendly staff. The people behind the counter at the sandwich area were flat out nasty...... Love the food and variety of unique items.

My favorite Fresh Market by far ! This location just opened in June and they have a great selections of items. There prepared foods are delicious and they also have a fresh sushi and olive bar. Worth a stop!

Too expensive... strawberries on sale already rotten. Fresh produce are so expensive. When they put it on sale is because fruits and veggies are getting old or rotten. Disappointed !!!

Always love going to fresh market. The produce is fresh. The breads and baked goods are always delicious. A wide variety of wines rounds out this neighborhood market

Name says it all- have only had the freshest food and deli items. Great meat department with daily/ weekly specials. Deli is great for lunch or prepared food.

While a bit pricey, the specials are amazing! Their ground chuck and boneless skinless chicken breasts are the best deal in town and the best tasting, too.

How to rate a supermarket? Its location makes it quiet and never too busy. A bonus at any market. Check the website for specials from the meat counter.

My first time there. It seems very trendy. Like a cross between a specialty store and a whole foods. It was a nice experience.

Pretty nice grocery store. It was also very clean and a nice alternative to Publix. Lots of organic options.

The place is clean but the salad bar is not too fresh. The two times I have gone, the lettuce was limp.

Great selection and often cheaper than Whole Foods. Nice plants and flowers, aromas and produce.

Always clean and fresh. Meats and Fish are great with a wide selection. Their bacon is amazing!
