Mid-sized grocery with all the staples and great produce selection. Rotating menu of hot and cold prepared items, some quite good. Surprisingly good cheese selection including half dozen types of Feta. Try it, you wont be disappointed.

This grocery store offers very fair prices, a large product range, and a variety of options, as well as a focus on food items with clean ingredients. Often, fantastic weekly sales and high-quality merchandise are available. The stores are well-kept, and the staff is courteous and supportive. This grocery store comes highly recommended by me for all of your shopping needs!

4.1stars. Friendly, helpful staff. Nice deli crew. Freshly stacked vegetables. Always fresh meat from skilled butchers. If you need something, just ask. Ground Pork always good. Check out the prepackaged cold salads near deli. Some examples; Curry, cous cous, mac, hummus etc. Bread choices, dairy and imports good. Smallish aisles and checkouts. Great parking lot east of store. Solar power assist, so a greenish store.

Easy to find, has parking lot, good selection. They got most everything you need and some hard to find items. Good meat & to-go deli section. Decent selection of international items. Seafood section is kinda lacking. Some things are overpriced. Staff is friendly. I prefer giving them business over the common retailers

Worst cut of steak ever! Bought steaks at Harvestime and it was tough and gristly. Had to put the steak in the food processor and feed it to the dogs!! Could not eat it! Wax garbage. Very disappointed st $8.99 a pound. Will never buy steak from them again and my husband is an excellent cook. Do not buy steak from Harvestime. Walmart has better beef then Harvestime. Our dogs will end up eating this at $8.99 a pound. OUTRAGEOUS!

Produce is top-notch quality, great selection of international foods as well as regular American staples. Deli counter service is always quick and friendly, and if you havent tried the fresh-cut Feta cheese, do it! Youll never buy the sad plastic-box stuff again. :-)

I put this on FB, so forgive the odd formatting.The pandemic has been so hard on so many of us. At times its been hard to find touchstones for normalcy. For many of us in the Lincon Square/Albany Park/Ravenswood area, that his been made a little easier by HarvesTime Foods. I know they are already deeply loved (57 reviews on FB, all 5 stars!), but I had to say my piece.I first saw a mask at HarvesTime. First saw hand sanitizer stations at HarvesTime. First reasonably priced grocery pick up? HarvesTime. First Senior hours? HarvesTime. And now that they have taken down their CDC guidelines sign, everyone (employees and customers alike) are still wearing masks. To keep our community safe.This pandemic has been at least as hard on them as it has been on us and yet they are always smiling, providing perfectly cut taco meat and selling the only other dog food Eleanor will eat.We neighbors hear that Amazon Fresh may be moving in down the street. I am by no means anti-capitalist, I think competition is a good thing. I also think that Amazon would be making a significant mistake. It seems likely they assume HarvesTime is just another produce store that they will dominate. They are wrong. HarvesTime is our neighborhood gathering place, our United Nations, our touchstone.Block Club Chicago, how about a story? You wont be disappointed. NBC, how about a Making a Difference story? They certainly qualify.Thank you HarvesTime! You have never let us down and I am truly grateful for you!Thank you HarvesTime!

Review №25

Shopping at HarvesTime is such a pleasant experience. They have an extensive offering in just about every department, but the selection isnt overwhelming like at huge chain stores, which means I can shop with efficiency. The quality of produce as well as packaged products and prepared food is high, and I appreciate that their diverse selection includes standard American and international foods and also keeps up with food trends. Ive been shopping here for six years and it has become my golden standard for a neighborhood grocer. Im very grateful for HarvesTime!

I do wish that the standard oatly oat milk were more regularly in stock. I feel like every time I come it’s out of stock. I also wish they carried bread flour. Otherwise it’s a great neighborhood store!

Review №28

Love this place. All the staples but SO much more! I keep finding great new (otherwise boutique) items like early harvest olive oil, a surprisingly large selection of breads, farm fresh eggs, various pickled veggies, Asian noodles, and a butcher shop that NEVER fails to provide whatever I have a hankering for! The produce is top notch; harvestime is always my first stop.

Review №33

This grocery store is a great place to find pretty much whatever you’re looking for at affordable prices. Extensive selections of many things. I really wish they would have the layout in a way that makes sense though. Many items are spread out all over the store in ways that aren’t intuitive so it makes it really hard to find things. Also wish they would limit the number of people allowed inside as this store tends to be real really busy and poses a risk for Covid.

I don’t know who gave this place less than 4 stars but what in the hell are you talking about?? This is the best grocery store in the city. I used to live around the corner. When I’m visiting from the East coasts to see family it’s the place I shop most. Super clean. Efficient. Quality products, including the large array of European and Mexican specialty items. And the prepared foods guys/butchers are so cool to deal with. It always feels super relaxed and the Rotisserie Chicken has ruined every other store’s product. THE BEST!! Actually heading there now to be there when they open.

Their food selection is pretty diverse, which great! However, their customer service is HORRIFIC! The clerks are super moody and they dont take the time to help out with bagging, they just stand there while looking at their nails. Horrible customer service. Unfortunately, this is the only option for my family.

They have a large variety of groceries. More fine food. Lots of imports. Prepared foods as well. Great selection of meats and cheese. Chocolate and imported cookies. They also have fresh produce and a deli/butcher. Ive seen quail eggs here and they sell paleo chocolate. Also fresh bread. Lots of reasons to check it out!!! Thanks Harvest Time.

Review №46

Shining example of a neighborhood business that is still run in a manner which puts value and customer service first.Their prepared foods like Pozole w/Hominy and Spanikopita, are made and packaged with pride. The meat and fish selections go well beyond the typical. If you dont come across something you like in their homemade dessert cooler you may want to rush yourself to a hospital as you are possibly in the midst of a stoke.Keep up the good work Harvest Time. We need more of your kind in our world!

This store is in walking distance from my apartment. They have smart choices to eat. This time I bought a large salad which feeds 2, they make the salads in house. I will add tuna fish, more cucumbers, more green olives and some water melon chunks & use my own salad dressing. The salads come with salad dressing. Then I bought 1 liter of Guava Nectar aka juice by Premium Fresh. Then I bought 2 pre cut fruit watermelon & Honey dew Melon chunks. They cut the fruit into chunks and sell them. I buy them by the price point. For me its easier than trying to fit a whole melons in my tiny refrigerator. But great to throw on salads for dinner or lunch and go for a Raspberry Vinaigrette. It pulls out the fruit, means You will notice the fruit by taste. Last thing I bought was a Peach Turnover, for breakfast tomorrow. I think they bake theres in house? Not sure, but they have them in many flavors Apple, Apricot, Cherry, Peach,Raspberry. They are towards the front of the checkouts. In a tall plastic tower. The French bread sits on The bottom. This you smell baking of French Breads. As the guy is pulling them out putting them in the paper wrappers. Its a fun store to shop in the staff are friendly, I see the manager who runs this store. I buy from the Deli the guys will help you decided what is better than the other in cheeses or luncheon meats. Its a cool place to shop at

I cant stress how much i love this place! Ive been a customer for years! The produce is always the freshest! I love that you can go and pick up food thats already in pre-made for those days youre not in the mood to cook. I love that i can find all Greek products & Hispanics foods here! I love that they are so quick to help you find something you are looking for or get it from the back, if its not on the shelf. The staff is soo incredibly friendly, and always remembers my face and ask how my family is. This place will continue to be my favorite grocery store!

Review №59

HarvesTime is a great, family-run place. Ive been shopping there for eight years, because the selection of produce and international foods is fantastic and the prices are *excellent*. And now, in the time of the coronapocalypse, theyre really doing what they can to keep everyone safe, asking for customers to wear masks and installing plexiglass between customers and cashiers. AND in addition, theyve figured out their supply lines really quickly, so while my friends complain about missing flour, yeast, tortillas, bread, Ive been able to get all those things, thanks to HarvesTime (sorry, friends!). You can order from their website, too, and theyll call you when your order is ready for pickup, and then when you get there, you call them and theyll bring it straight to your car. Ive had to move out of state temporarily a couple of times for work and always miss HarvesTime when I go!

Harvestime is one of the best small market/produce stores Ive been to in Chicago. They have a great selection of fresh produce, from common fruits and vegetables to more interesting choices. The dry goods are well organized, with good selection. They dont have as many choices as a supermarket, but they seem to have at least a couple for each item. The deli has high quality cold cuts and cheeses. Their ethnic food choices range from East Asian to Middle Eastern to Latin American. Staff are very friendly and knowledgeable about the products. Cant recommend this place enough.

Love HarvesTime. Great produce and meat (their chicken breasts are always beautifully hand trimmed and frequently on sale). Their butchers will cut anything to order. Their homemade hummus is the bomb. But my favorite thing is from their hot food to go--the enchilada dinner with rice and beans (and a steal for 5.99). The enchiladas are bathed in an incredible mole sauce. TO DIE FOR. Its not always available, but when it is, I buy it!

Best grocery store in the area. Amazing selection of produce and deli products, sprinkled in with some local produce which you cant find at other stores (microgreens, specialty finishing sauces from co-op) and the best French feta you can find. We buy the feta for meals throughout the week but it always needs to be eaten when we get home with our freshly baked bread. Love this store!!!

This is how I #shopsmall every week. Fresh produce for dirt cheap. I kid you not. I leave with 2 bags of groceries for less than $10. I typically come here for fruits and veggies. Very clean and priced well. And kudos to them for installing solar panels. I am going to miss this grocery store now that I am moving further west.
