The Fresh Market

I love this place! Fresh everything!! There sweets are bomb. My favorites are the banana bread and the corn bread.

Clean. Lots of sanitizer around the facility. Orderly, and more importantly the shoppers have a clue for the most part and are observant and respectful on the wonderful distancing we should at least be trying to respect, if not for ourselves for others. Respectful and Polite actually works if you try.

4:15pm Thursday and not one rotisserie chicken is ready and might me in one hour. This store is frequently out of promotional items not due to inventory but poor management planning.

This location also sent out frozen turkeys on Thanksgiving “we do everything” package which resulted in a still frozen turkey after three hours in the oven, thereby destroying not only the purpose of “easy” but obviously planning for the day. When talking to management the next day, I was told “we had a problem with the temperature control and a lot went out frozen”. Thanks for the heads up.

The location in Coral Springs is much better and smoother operating with nicer employees.

It’d be nice if I could shop. Too much stalking here for me to give a really good review. I would say under usual circumstances, they would have a wide selection , and one could freely browse them all. Even the selection of water is a high here. The coffee at fresh market will usually leave a coffee drinker shopping for a while. But the whole profiling thing here just got too much. I may have to make a complaint at the corporate office.

I first got into Fresh Market when one opened in my hometown in NY, I used to come for the coffee beans.

I’ve since been in this one a few times, it’s usually pretty quiet and easy to get through the aisles. Fresh Market is a nice contrast to other markets in this genre like Trader Joe’s which is usually a mad house. Parking here is also ample!

As you walk in the store, there is an impressive produce section. I love how they sell items like a stir fry kit with fresh veggies, that is great for those of us that are lazy in the kitchen, but still want to eat healthy.

One of my favorite parts of the store is the bakery. If you need a nice dessert to bring to someone’s house, this is your place, they have many lovely looking cakes and tarts. I personally love the breakfast items like their chocolate croissants, so delicious.

They also have a nice array of pre-made and fresh meals available. I spotted salads, wraps and soooo much more!

They did not have the particular item I wanted, but I ended up in the beer aisle. They have a nice selection of local brews like Funky Buddha, as well as other ones from Florida. I like that they had a make your own 6 pack for $9.99. I was able to pick up a couple of new beers like a seasonal Pumpkin Blue Moon and others.

The biggest drawback to this chain is it can be pricey! Some of the items were similarly priced to what you might pay at Target, but others were quite a bit more.
