I forgot how lovely and quaint this place is! Super quality meats are sold here amongst other sundries. Felt like I was in a European village for a minute while strolling the aisles. I stopped by here after checking out some new books in at Cameron Village Library after church.

To say this is a beautiful grocery is not enough to how beautiful being in there is! When you dont have a grocery store like this in your town its a treat just to be in there an experience something really cool

I have been shopping at different Fresh Markets for decades. This is the most inconsistent and has sold me Freshitems that have made me very sick. For example I used to buy the roasted chicken salad. One time it was itwgood 2 times the chicken was just stripped in long pieces off the bone and not broken it dow. The last time I just received a container with chicken and a few pieces of celery only no seasoning no mayo and I tried to make it work and I was violently Ill for almost a week. I think it somehow came I contact with raw chicken. I just had 2 rib eys delivered to me which I ask for a nice end cap on it. There was none when I opened the package ito repackage for the freezer and they were Brown in many places. I have paid for top dollar filet mignon which I froze instantly and they were Brown on the outside a little I tried to eat them because I dont get nice meals often and the first oneade me sick so I didnt eat anymore. This is a lot of money for special meals for myself.I will never buy their meat again. I do better at Publix and Harris Teeter. This a shame and these are not fresh market standards. Even in the deli some of the fresh made items look old. I am so disappointed. The produce is great I love some of the brans they carry. The bakery is very good too when they dont run out dont have transportation to return items. I dont like to spend my time writing a review like this but I feel it is necessary since I cant reach anyone in the home office. I have left messages at the store with no response.. I have my groceries delivered most of the time but I should be able to count on the quality.Sandy Wheeler

Unique shopping experience. Great atmosphere in the store. Good selection of Daves Killer bread products. This is a shop definitely worth your time to come check out. You will find it to be a different shopping experience.

Best selection of coffees anywhere. Our favorite is cafe lorange. They have decaf and regular. And for the chocolate-loving crowd check out the molten chocolate, like having a candy bar for breakfast without all the guilt. Would have given them a 5 star rating but we also bought some roasted chicken salad, pretty good but too much mayo.

Too many folks without a mask in the store today. We would appreciate management addressing the issue.It is a nice store with good products, but we couldn’t stay. Hopefully next time we will feel safe in the store.

I did enjoy my shopping experience. However, my local Lowes Supermarket will have lower prices and just as fresh meat and seafood. It was also an hour drive for me just to visit, that I was willing to make.

I went in there for moolala milk and was pleasantly surprised to find it on sale. Prices are expensive if youre not buying things on sale but I found plenty of good deals and sales to keep me happy today :-) they have a lot of products that I have not seen at other stores including Costco and trader Joes.

The Fresh Market Valentine’s Meal for pick up was the deal of the century. The pick up at Mayfaire was easy and organized. We received all of our goodies in a reusable shopping bag and simple cooking instructions were included. All of the food was excellent and the portions were huge! Thank you for making our Valentines so special!

Nice store with items that are not available in most grocery stores. This is a whole foods grocery store market. If you are looking for medicinal and other natural products, you will need to go to a larger whole foods market.

Review №15

This is one of the better grocery options in the area. They offer prepared meals, great meats and vegetables too.If you know of Wegmans, you can think of this store as all of the best parts of Wegmans condensed into a smaller easier to shop store. They offer better quality fresh vegetables and meats with rare hard to find items.In the center of the store they have a prepared foods section. They offer sandwiches, hot meals, pizza and pastry options too. On Monday nights they offer a special reduced price for a number of hot, take home meals.If youre looking for fresh food or prepared meals, Fresh Market is a great option for you.

Yesterday I got the entrée and 2 sides. This is the 2nd time my chicken has been overcooked. It was disgusting and I had to throw it away. Almost 10 bucks for food i have to warm up myself and so overcooked I cant even bite into it. You could at least offer some bread with it for that price. You definitely shouldnt be charging what you do charge for it. That was the last time for me.

Drove here from Jacksonville and decided to stop in and check it out. The customer service here is outstanding. The store manager John asked if he could help in any way, and gave my daughter a cookie. Super friendly gentleman, he took the time to tell is what sets Fresh Market apart from other grocery stores and was very helpful, even the cashier said that she loves working for him because he is so nice. This place has so many cool things that other grocery stores dont have like bulk coffee &candy, and more! Plus they make you feel like a valued customer. I will definitely be back, totally worth the drive!

I love this store and it’s products. I have had several issues over the last three years regarding their ground chuck. On three occasions I have had to return pre-packaged ground chuck due to the meat having turned color and a foul odor. I discovered the last time I had this issue that there were packages of meat in the cold bin that were packaged over 2 weeks ago. Someone in the meat department is not checking the package dates and rotating the stock to make sure out of date meat is not in the bin. I will from now on check the dates on the packages. Also the last time I shopped there all the packages were under a pound and looked like they had been thrown in the case haphazardly.

Ordered a meal deal and got home to realize the product wasn’t as advertised. Returned to the store and spoke with the manager Jess who couldn’t be more accommodating. She listened to our problem and resolved it quickly all with a smile on her face. We had a great experience at a store that values customers and will certainly be returning.

Review №26

The WORST customer experience EVER.  I am floored by the attitude and treatment from your Wilmington location.  Three hours before I am to pick up my $200 order from 3 days ago I am told its not available.  The Wilmington store did not want to take any responsibility and only wanted to blame Instacart and only being able to see online orders that day of.  I will not be returning to your establishment ever again and I am a very forgiving person.  I did not order through Instacart I ordered through your direct online site (be that it may be instacart on your backend), but telling me to deal with Instacart when I have no orders thru them is BEYOND ridiculous.  So everyone that has ordered Christmas Eve meal pickup online is getting a call or text that their items are available? How can you run a business like this?

If youre intolerant to foods this is your store. Not as much thinking here. You can eat almost anything. I love it. Great sales every week. $2.99 for both fresh chicken breast and ground Chuck a pound. Almost every holiday they have roses and chocolates deals starting at $10. The fruit is imported from everywhere. Cotton candy grapes that are very good to name one. Same with veggies. Not bad prices for the organic selection.

I surely like this shopping market for mostly the meat department. They always run specials and have nice cuts and fresh product. You will rarely find anything out of date here. They keep this store top-notch. You might pay more, but you get Fresh. Everything is nicely stocked, neatly arranged and Freshly packaged. Even when you enter the store, you dont feel stressed about your shopping. Its not your buy all item store, but you treat yourself to the items you like and keep coming back.

The set up of this store is nice and I like that they carry some things to likely wont find at other stores, even whole foods. They carry some fun exotic fruits. The down side to this store are the prices, they are high! Im guessing due to the location. I dont shop here often, but if so enjoy going when I do.

Review №58

Not your typical grocery store. Layout and selection of items is different. The samples throughout the store made it easy to make the decision to purchase several items. You can get chocolate, coffee, and a variety of snacks in bulk. You can grind your own almond or peanut butter. I enjoyed the coffee and the customer service while finding the items on my shopping list.

Review №62

The bathroom here was very nice. I very much enjoyed pooping to the classical music that they provide. There were however a few places that made my experience less than enjoyable. There is only one stall. Which made it very awkward when another man came in and stood waiting for me to finish. I tried to regain my solace by saying to him through the closed door it maybe a minute he replied thats okay I can wait. Which at this point made it worse since if I left immediately he would see through my ploy. I waited several silent minutes and then left starring at the floor as to avoid eye contact. Overall though it was a great restroom and I would recommend. The toilet paper could also be improved.I give it an 8/10 would poo here again

Friendly staff, clean store but needs WiFi for Instacart shoppers to be more effective liaisons. *edited for response to Owners.* Hi Fresh Market Owner, Thank you for your time and response. I will contact Instacart to follow up on your response requiring credentials. Other stores Ive shopped for have a public wifi for all patrons that helps shoppers contact clients for any changes. My phone was unable to pick up a network. I want to do my best at all times and communicate as efficiently as possible so clients continue to shop with Instacart and their store partners. Again, thank you for your time and response
