First time at a Cermak and pleasantly surprised. Great produce department, solid butcher, deli, bakery, and fresh kitchen. Love the to go Tamales and good prices! Definitely going to visit more frequently.

Great selection of things to buy, however the store seems to only employ very unenthused teenagers that seem to either hate their jobs or not take their jobs very seriously. They can definitely work on their customer service! This would make a huge difference.

I was a Cermak today and my cashier was very nice his name is DR and he is a very hard worker he’s probably the best cashier I’ve ever come across. DR rocks 👍🏾

Great Price & Variety On Poultry!.Becareful When Choosing From The Bakery. Sometimes Certain Staff Doesnt Rotate The Desserts. Over All The Meat Selection, Fresh Gazpacho, Baked Goods, Deli & Hot Bar Are Always Fresh, Best Place For Lunch Runs.💋

Overall I think its very clean. They also have thermal cameras to keep out any feverish people for all those who take extra precaution to be exposed to Covid-19. Anyways, Produce items were fresh as well as items from the meat department. Wide variety of seasoned beef pork and chicken. Also, great seafood section. But my favorite was Bakery. OMG presentation alone, I could not pass by without drooling a bit 🤤. Of course I bought a couple pieces. 🍰🥧🍩🍪🎂

Overall the store itself as a whole is fantastic however the people in your deli department are your weakest link. Maybe you need to rethink how your deli meats are presented. So far one out of four times the person helping me would cut the wrong meat. Maybe put labels on the other side so they know what they are grabbing but for crying out loud if I point to something, outside of grabbing it myself and handing it to them, there is not much more I can do to ensure that I get the product I asked for.

Oh my goodness. This is really a culinary treat. I have not ever experienced such a variety of pretty much everything and anything you could ever think of! The fruits and vegetables is a gorgeous display of color and freshness. The meat and seafood counter goes on forever and everyone is so helpful! We ordered a half order of loaded nachos at the deli and it was really tasty! The prices are extremely fair and competitive. We loved the experience and will be back!

Nice place, friendly people. I wish the selection was a bit broader, especially in beverages, and I wish they had a floral department.

This is my new go-to for most groceries. They have an outstanding variety of fresh produce and some of the best prices on produce compared to other stores. The staff is top-notch; professional, friendly and efficient. The store is always impeccably clean, stocked and well-organized. You wont have to wait long to get checked out. They have an enormous bakery as well as a hearty variety of to-go options; great for lunch when you are in a hurry. There are a number of brands and imported items you can find here that you wont find anywhere else. I do wish that they would have more organic options; particularly in the dairy section as the options they do have are very limited and also expensive, comparatively. Their isle for paper goods, cleaning products, etc. is quite limited. It would be nice if they had a few more items handy such as pet food, litter among other things but overall this is still a 5 star establishment.

I just love Cermak. Especially their prices. They blow the competition away in prices on the items i need. The one on Miller parkway is the one I usually go to. If they are out of something the one on 1st usually has it.

Review №14

The store and overall cleanliness was good however I had a wonderful cashier name DeonTravis (I probably missed spelled that) However he needed assistance from the supervisor and the supervisor purposely ignored him slammed his phone down when he decided to get up and kept giving this poor cashier attitude this man who is “supervisor” should not be one he just sat on his phone and let the line get longer behind us. please reconsider who you hire as a manager because I ruined my experience. This happened August 5th at 6:15pm.

Fresh and rare fruits can be found there, most of the Mediterranean vegetables can be purchased from there with a very reasonable price.Clean store, but it needs an extra step in training staff to give customers a smile.

BIG CATFISH!! Honestly I thought this was gonna be similar to fresh time, it seems like it is an expensive store from the outside. But on the inside I fell in love with this store. Very good options and great pricing. I love Hispanic foods and this is a great store for that.

Review №21

They always have great produce sales. I come here for fresh fruits and veggies. They keep it very clean. No old meat and chlorine smell when you enter the store. Miller park cermak has better international goods but this one is less crowded, cleaner and more organized. Prepared food section ou s awesome. The gelatos are yummy!Check out their chicken deals too. They always have chicken parts on sale like $2 for a tray of drumsticks (about 8 pcs.) Or $2.50 for a tray of chicken thighs (8pcs)

I love the variety of different foods they sell at this store. The hot deli has a great selection of hispanic foods. The deli always has great deals on sliced meats and cheese. If youre looking for an ethic ingredient and dont know where your local store is this place will have it !

Love the clean store, friendly staff, produce selection, etc, BUT you have to pay attention to the prices at checkout. Theyre constantly (almost every trip) overcharging me! Sale prices dont always ring up correctly. They sometimes have an attitude when I ask them to correct the price.

OH MY GOD! I love this place. If you want authentic Mexican fare this is the place to be. I had for the first time Chile Cheese Relleno and it was slightly crispy chewy fried goodness. Everyone was friendly and considerate. And look at my cake. So worth it! So come to Cermak Fresh Market. You will love every minute here. By the way if you need electric wheelchair access they have them here.

Review №53

If I could give 0 stars I would.Every time I come here it’s bad service all around. Workers at meat stations or any station tHat you need a worker to get help with you have to wait for them to come. Or if there’s other workers just talking in that station they’ll tell for a different worker to come 😳😥Then there’s employers in aisles having social conversations I stead of restocking items so you have to move the carts to access items because they just stare at you instead of moving them themselves or actually restocking.If they have sales you have to have them manually change the price after you mention that the price is incorrect.Fruit is either too ripe or green.Currently employees don’t wear their mask either. The guys I. The meat counter had them below their nose. 🙄Prices are overpriced too. Not worth it at all. Will stick to Sendiks or picknsave.

My gf and I live in Whitefish Bay and the East, respectively, and enjoy going to this location within the Third Ward. Its a straight shot down Water Street from my place. My girl just loves the produce section and their hot sauce. We both enjoy the mexican squirt, coke, pepsi and other mexican sodas.

I like a lot of things about Cermak. Currently I shop at Cermak on S. 1st St in Milwaukee. There is also a Cermak store on S. 43rd St just south of Greenfield Ave. Both stores are good. They have great deals on fresh produce, plus very good deals on meats. They also have a lot of ethnic foods. I like to buy their Guacamole and their Salsa, & their bakery items are delicious. I strongly suggest you go to Cermak food store. Then YOU can write the review of Cermak. Its worth it to check out their stores.

Affordable produce!!!!!!! I used to have to go all the way to the Cermak on the otherside of mke. Now I can easily bike here. Tons of options. Affordable, fresh, and great deli. The store is beautifully designed too. My pics are of some salsa I was able to make for under 4 bucks. After 7 at night buy 1 get 1 free sushi blows my mind lol. Youll love it here. I stopped going to target and picknsave if you shop here. 😂

Review №98

I would like to give it a better rating but I cant. My biggest complaint is the customer service at this place. The are a few cashiers that need some training in customer service. They dont greet you, they dont look at you and when they are done checking you out I have had some that dont even let you know what your total. There is no thank you or a have a nice day. My biggest issue is the deli counter. You can stand there for 5 minutes before anyone will even acknowledge you. There can be 3 people or more just looking around chatting amongst themselves. They know you are there but no one is interested in the customer waiting to purchase their products. Its very frustrating and has happened way too many times. Its not just me, its happened to others as well. Your customers are what keep you in business. Teach your staff some customer service. You benefit from your customer, not the other way around!!

Review №99

Disappointing when you pull back the curtain. When we moved here and visited we thought Oh MY Gosh what amazing options in produce and meats. But after several times we noticed that if we didnt use everything within a day or 2 it would go bad. Possibly a regional thing, but were used to fresh groceries lasting between weekend grocery visits. Consistently the meat and produce seemed to spoil quickly. The other disappointment is that it seems that not only the cashiers, but other shoppers just seem to be on a loop of having a bad day. Everyone just seems grumpy and cranky. For a great variety of food for a meal youre cooking that day, its a good stop otherwise their are happier, fresher options.
