If Youre looking for a grocery store thats not quite trader Joes and not quite whole foods, then youll love this place! You got to try it out!

Well kept farmers market with polite employees. Veggies are well priced and always fresh. Bakery goods are a bit pricy, but always tasty. Has a per pound self serve candy/chocolates section.

Best shrimp and grits I have had, north of Memphis!! The gal trying to service the tables and the counter could have used a hand. So the service was slow. Otherwise I would have given this place 5 stars.

Our favorite store. Crisp, juicy, fresh organic grapes. Coconut covered date rolls. AIP friendly snacks. Fresh Thyme brand organic olive oil taste is literally the best Ive ever had.My one complaint is their frozen blueberries are expensive. I can get a bigger bag of organic from Costco for cheaper than their inorganic blueberries.

Store is always clean, good product presentation but gave purchased moldy berries 3 times now. My fault for not opening the clear pint container, or managers for not doing their job. Quit putting spoiled product on clearance at front entrance!

This has become my go to grocery store. The freshness of the fruits, vegetables, meat, and seafood. They have an app for thier store. They also started to offer curbside pickup service. They had done away with thier bulk food for a while because of the Covid but they offer it once again. Also you can grind your own coffee here. They have a nice selection of coffees. Parking is always good here. The store is a little smaller than other grocery store stores, but easy to keep your distance from others. They offer dry ice at this location which I think is pretty cool. Never new of a grocery store doing that. Definitely recommend thao grocery store.

Employee with an unacceptable attitude! I don’t usually post reviews but as I was in a check out line, a small senior citizen, probably in her 80s, asked for help with operating a motorized cart. When one of the workers was asked by the cashier to help the lady, he rolled his eyes, shook his head and followed her to the cart. He quickly walked away and when she asked for him to stick around to help her, he glared at her and continued walking away.

I have been shopping at Fresh Thyme for 4+ years now. Over these years, I have grown to know many on the staff. Everyone is kind and eager to assist when you ask them questions. The store is open and bright with sections labeled quite well. They carry a lot of the products that I enjoy and purchase on a weekly basis. This place used to be my one stop shop for groceries during the week.The only negative about this place is that since Meijer took over, they are trying to expand on their target market. This means the removal of some of my favorite items that I specifically go to this store for. This is to make room for things that are, in my personal opinion, not on brand with the store and its current mission and vision. Im sorry, but well known brands of soda, candy and other items with poor ingredients do not belong in an establishment that prides itself on providing fresh, organic and healthy foods, supplements, wellness and skincare products.

I love it here, its a 40 min drive from my home but worth it for what I need. They even carry Kumquats, and I havent been able to find those in a while. Great for all dietary needs, holistic living, and over all better nutrition. Friendly, welcoming and knowledgeable staff.

Review №18

Big selection of healthy foods. Reasonable prices. Though not as big as Marianos, Fresh Thyme offers a lot of organic food and bulk foods. The staff, especially the managers, are extremely knowledgeable. Everyone is friendly.

Review №19

Similar to whole foods but the selection isnt as big. Prices are high, but quality is good. Has a lot of homeopathy products, vitamins, and general well-being products you cant really find anywhere else in Joliet.

They sell a wide range of products. From groceries to fast food, fruits, home appliances, kitchen, and power tools, theres something for everyone.

Review №27

Disgusting practice of allowing people without a mask. Shame on you!! As a health care provider who wants to feel safe when I shop for some healthy food, I feel safer in my workplace, where my employer protects me better than you do your employees or customers!!!

Review №28

Truely used to be my favorite grocery store, but once the sold out to myer they have been stocking more and more normal brands and moving away from their core values. Pushing the organic and ethically sourced foods off of the shelves. A great sadness for the loss of what used to be a beacon of good food. Just an overpriced walmart basically now.

Ka
Review №29

They have a large produce section with good variety. They offer very good chicken, we really like it. More like a specialty shop. As expensive as Whole Foods, but with less variety.

Good . I Needed assistance and this nice associate knew what and where my item was. Not the Big stores like Walmart or Target. The smaller grocery stores seem to have employees that know the store and what they have on their shelves.

Fresh Thyme is a great place for a variety of healthy choices. Always clean & well kept. Employees are courteous & helpful. Shop on Wednesday to get great deals as the weekly sales overlap with the prior week ending & the new week starting on Wednesday.

They have a good selection for vegetarians, and they have good prices. The only thing I hate is that I always forget a quarter for the shopping cart. Otherwise, I love this store!

Review №48

This used to be one of my favorite stores until my most recent experience with them. They had some very sneaky sales prices that use huge text saying 50% off, buy one, get one free to get your attention and then tell you details (which is different than what the big text said) in text so small you cant read it. I questioned it and had a manager come over to look at it. He could barely read it putting his face about a foot away. The cashier had a bit of an attitude when I brought this to her attention.Nobody ever apologized. I was upset that they were being deceptive with their sale so I called the corporate office. The corporate office never got back to me. Apparently they dont care about customer satisfaction. I will go to other stores from now on.

In my opinion, if Trader Joes and Jewel had a baby, it would be Fresh Thyme! It feels very local and neighborly, and you still get the great selection of plant based, organic and generally healthy products. The customer service here is top notch. Theres always a very diverse selection of whatever Im looking for. In fact I find myself discovering new things quite often there.

Okay but why does the candy have so many artificial flavors and preservatives. To much food dye in it as well. For a store that is supposed to be healthier they dont so a good job of that. Aldi is better for no food dye and less chemicals in the food.

Review №74

The store has great products and good quality the selection in limited though because they focus on organic and other health, and sustainable items but quality is second to none. The deli has a good selection but, you get what you pay for...obviously. they have Boars Head, Greenfield, etc. So, its gonna cost a little more. But if your health conscious price isnt your only concern. There natural section which includes things like soaps, deodorant, skin creams and lip balms, is really nice. And yes the have CBD too. Stop in and see for yourself.

Review №75

Nothing less than phenomenal. Fresh, quality food, a large and diverse selection, specialty products, sushi bar, made-to-order deli subs and pizzas...you name it, this place has it.Need a place to sit and eat? Done. Enjoy hand picking your own selection of nuts and weighing out exactly how much you want? Deal. Select and grind your own coffee? Sure, why not. ...Honey dispensers? Yup. From incense and vitamins to specialty imported beers and goats milk, Fresh Thyme has you covered.So why not a full 5? -1 star for price. Its not as insane as Trader Joes, but for everyday shopping where you dont mind trading quality of life for price, Id still recommend your local grocer. For ANYTHING other than budget shopping however, this is your one-stop-shop.

Ive always heard of Fresh Thyme but never got chance to shop here! Now that I have shopped here I wish I had done it sooner. I love their variety of fresh fruits and vegetables. I bought the freshest and sweetest watermelon from here for my husband and had to get more! Love that they sell ingredients you wouldnt normally find at Walmart like oyster mushrooms! Overall, I had a great shopping experience

This grocery store is top notch! Its a much better alternative to Trader Joes. They have a large selection of fresh fruits and veggies. The employees are friendly and are always making sure the store looks nice. A nice feature of this store is every Wednesday they release a new weekly flyer. On that day, you can use the new flyer AND the one from last week! No other store has that! I will definitely be coming back.

There is a huge variety of organic foods here for a fraction of the price of Whole foods(whole paycheck). They also have a great selection of bin items like whole bean coffee, grind your own nut butter, trail mix, candies, and more. All the associates are very courteous and knowledgeable about their products.They are a great all around grocery store.
