This is the best grocery shop in the city that serves food and supplies imported bundled food varieties and all set dinners. I was glad that it was extremely close to our place.

This store is horrible. Nothing is fresco and staff is super rude.

This shop was fantastic and enthralling! In terms of organic, dairy, and local food, this grocery store has it all. Im surprised because the team here were very attentive and supportive to all of my questions, and they even went out of their way to make my day a memorable one. Excellent jobs, everybody! This grocery store gets a 5-star rating from me.

You can also choose from a range of options. This grocery store caters to those who want to develop their own food without having to wait in long lines for payment. The quality of new produce at a low price is excellent. The shop was well-kept and uncrowded. All they have in store for you! Strongly suggested!

Make sure you hungry when you visit, because there is loads of delicious food to choose from. All sorts of lovely goodies to buy. Suggest you set a few hours aside to allow for a good wander around, because it takes ages to decide what to eat as there is so much choice!

They have recently totally revamped their sister store in Glendale but this one is the authentic one. Perfect selection of fresh veggies and fruits at unbeatable prices.Long lines have been eliminated (well lets say reduced) by fully staffing the cash registers.The liquor store has been moved to its own little store so it keeps the exit way nice and clearLOVE this store. Yes the parking lot is a mess. SO WHAT. Deal with it lol

You always have a range of products to choose from. This grocery shop is a place for those who want to make food without much hassle in long queuing lines for payment. Fresh produce at a very affordable price is of good quality. The shop was well-kept and not crowded. They have everything for you! Highly advised!

If you are into nonchemical or something in between, connoisseur treats, they have it. The meats are top-notch and of that type, any kind of product. Roaming around this shop will make you think twice all the time about eating out and using your appliances. I will probably come here next time. A highly recommended venue for food shopping!

Review №15

We headed here because it was recommended as the single best spot to pick up anything in one hit for a long stay. When we visited several of the smaller grocery stores, it didnt disappoint us. Theres a large range of choices from small electric appliances, kettles, rice cookers, toasters and fans! This grocery store has everything that you need at a decent price!

A very nice place! I came for the Hungarian sausage to make my own sandwich with fries. I dont know where to find this anywhere else in the city than here. They also sell great cooked pies, tasty scones to grab and pastries to fight your hunger. They have a friendly cashier, too. Very clean inside, fair prices, and good selections of products. I highly recommend!

I went to this grocery shop last week, and I greatly loved the fact that they have a great selection of food, fruits, vegetables, meats, etc. When I went to the cashier, the staff was very entertaining, friendly, and kind to me. Besides, I greatly love their shop. It has everything that I wanted to buy. Thank you!

Ive lived in Hermon for over half my life and have seen this market change owners a hand full of times. This Frescos iteration has been the best by far! They have great products and the market has a great layout. Fresh juices, organize produce, and lots of local goodies. I wish more people would give it a try, its not very busy when shop.Very friendly staff, always willing to help.

They have one of the better quality meat departments in Highland Park and the butcher is always so helpful 👍They have pretty good selection of wine and beer. On the weekends they BBQ and the deli is pretty good. Everything else is better than average for the area but at a premium price.

Great local market that really gives you the feel of being a part of a community. Youll see the same employees and often build relationships with them. They have awesome variety and a cool sandwich shop inside. The products in general are a little pricey though.

Love this Fresco Community Market! The store always looks great. The fresh flowers out front are so beautiful and inexpensive, they last forever too! They have awesome basil plants, buy them and cook with them. The inside of the store is so clean and well organized, they do a great job keeping the shelves stocked. Lines move fast. Employees are super nice. Love the samples in the back. Only drawback, like most Trader Joes is the parking, you can find it in the lot behind, but I like to go early or late to avoid congestion.

Review №45

Nice selection here of stuff you dont see at Vons and the other big grocery stores. The coffee counter is nice to have, and the service is great.I gotta say though that the inside is a bit dingy and dark. The prices are high enough that I expect a little nicer ambiance, frankly. Something about the lighting makes me feel suicidal, and everything could use a scrub: the grocery carts, the baskets, etc.Its a little out of the way for me, but if theres something I know the other grocers dont carry Ill make the trip.

Interesting place to shop. they have lots of gourmet foods from all over the world. Very friendly and helpful staff who are understandably proud of the store. Small bakery with seating where you can grab a bite of breakfast or lunch. Handicap accessible, including restroom. Recommend this place.😀

Amazing blend of your conventional favorites and natural / organic brands. Good produce and meat. Larger than community market implies, but still on the small side for a supermarket, so you wont always find the EXACT item youre looking for... But they do a great job with the space and selection considering. Also they have plenty of barbecue supplies even though its winter time!

Review №53

This store is just what the neighborhood needs. A decently priced, quality alternative to the Whole Foods, or the supermarkets in the area, which can lack in healthier options.The butcher is great, theres BBQ and a coffee shop in here, plus lots of great variety in beer and products offered. A little more expensive than something like Superior, etc, but to me, worth it.Also, they have great food trucks occasionally, and thats also awesome and convenient.

Review №54

5 stars for customer service. The butcher feels like an old school neighbor butcher shop, and the check out clerks are always friendly. My only knock is one, theyre pretty overpriced, I mean whole foods overpriced. Some things are not too expensive like fresh meats and dry goods. I had to take one star away just because if how expensive it can be

Review №55

The staff at Fresco Market is always very friendly and helpful. The quality and prices are very affordable,, compared to other nearby stores, such as Sprouts or Trader Joes. I enjoy going there for the variety of organic foods, beer selection and the different brands you may not find anywhere else in the area.

This is my local market and I love it. Truly independently owned and operated. The staff and I know each other by name. They stock what their customers request at very competitive prices. Everyone should be lucky enough to have a place like this.

Review №59

I called the store to ask for the phone number where I could reach the owner, and a girl named Emily answered. She was very rude, and told me no, she said I was a woman she mistook me for someone else. I told her I spend good money there and she said to go someplace else. It is my neighborhood market and I am elderly, she treated me badly. How could you have employees chasing the customers . I have heard about her attitude but until now have I ever heard her. I own a business and I would never condone my employees treating the customers badl. Since she told me to go I will, but I will also put the word out about her attitude. Her name is Emily. She laughed and sounded so happy when I said I will go. Never again will I set foot in your store. I will save a lot of money somewhere else for sure. I wanted to support my neighborhood market its over, she will send your market to bankruptcy.

Getting 3 stars because its a much better alternative than wasting an hour of my time driving up and down North Ave to WF. Consistently great guacamole and salsas. They carry unexpected brands like Braggs, Bob Red Mill, and Slagel Farms. Small but decent organic produce section. Ive seen a drastic improvement in their meat selection and quality. The butcher is very knowledgeable and personable. Wine and Beer selection is not bad at all.

Review №65

Only go here out of necessity since it’s right near our house and I have never left a one star review before but this place is just horrible for fruits and veggies! I can not believe how they are not ashamed to sell completely rotten produce! We keep trying different things from them and every single time - 1/2 of produce is spoiled or gets spoiled within a day.Husband just brought home a watermelon which tastes sour, and is inedible. I think this was a last time we ever bought any produce from them, I’d rather drive further but this is a waste of money.It has good reviews for other things and cashiers are nice but any business that sells rotten things on a daily basis loses my business.

My primary grocery store. Great prices, great quality and great selection. I especially like that you can refill your water jugs, or buy new gallons of water (that actually tastes great) for cheap. They do not take credit cards, but overall that is a very minor issue for me.

A great place for fresh produce and organic food. The people who work here are very friendly and always helpful. Quality is even better than Ralphs, although their prices are not as competitive as the latter.Check out their monthly discounts and outdoor activities.

Review №73

Yuck, half of what I’ve bought in the last year is rotten, got food poisoning 3 times, and prices are insane - 50% more expensive than Ralph’s and even more than Whole Foods for much poorer quality!This place used to be good but really went downhill in the last few years - I avoid it now. Bad quality and overpriced!!!

This is a very large neighborhood market that carries uncommon, gourmet, quality brands. Theres a full deli with prepped eats and sandwiches, as well as a wide spectrum of meats. The coffee shop in here is quite cozy and carries some baked goods. Service is usually very good here.

Its like a privately owned Whole Foods. They have hard to find items like Chocolove Coffee Crunch chocolate and Bai Panama Peach, which are both amazing. This is the only store I can find these jewels. The produce and other items are expensive, but the convenient location is great for the local residents. The cashiers, managers, and owner are really helpful and nice!

Have been shopping here for 5 years. Imagine a Whole Foods with a curated inventory of just the best stuff, short lines at the register and easy parking. Oh yeah, its also locally owned, not owned by Amazon, and gives back to the community left and right. Put your money where your mouth is and shop here instead.

This place cant figure out if its a Sprouts or a Ralphs. It never seems to have exactly what youre looking for, and everything is marked up a lot. The only redeeming aspect is its beer selection, which is superb.
