The Fresh Market

First timer here!!! Fell in love immediately with all the different kinds of flowers displayed as soon as you walk in. All the meat and seafood looked AMAZING!
I will be coming back to try the Olive Bar, Seafood Bar and Salad Bar!

I may be a bit biased as I can walk to this fresh market but I LOVE this store. Sure there are some things that they could do better. Specifically, having more people behind the deli and meats counter during peak time. This bottleneck happens at almost every store I go to no matter if they are *high end* or not. The seafood and meat is always top quality. The workers are all helpful. The store is clean. Some of my favorite things; their chicken salad. Always delicious! The sushi which is always super fresh! Their whole beef tenderloin which is often on sale; just make sure you look online as they do not advertise this. Finally their yogurt covered almonds are such a treat. I wish I could figure out how they made these as they are pricey but so worth it. This is a small store so you may not find all the things you are looking for but it is perfect if you are looking for fresh fruits and veggies and quality meat of any kind.

I would give it a one if possible. They should be kicked out of our neighborhood for their terrible management. Overpriced and poorly run

I like the ambiance: the small-​store feel, nice music, the look of the produce. The tight quarters are fine — not as stifling as, for instance, at The Boys in Delray.
The selection and the variety of merchandise are decent; the prices are seemingly on par or higher than those at the Whole Foods on Glades. The store is generally clean.
The big minus is the lack of service. Whether you are at the bakery counter or at the check-​out register, the floor employees virtually telegraph a message of indifference and boredom at best, and a borderline contempt for customers at worst. I’ve shopped at this location numerous times prior to writing a review, and, without exception, have encountered the apathetic/​disinterested/​annoyed staff that makes you want to leave and never come back.
I kept returning for the certain items I can’t find elsewhere, but my patience with the clueless and ignorant clerks has finally ran out.

A poor imitation of Whole Foods. Half the quality and often more expensive.
Recently bought a crate of clementines, only to discover they jammed seeded mandarins or something slightly larger with seeds in the crate. Definitely not clementines.

First time coming in to this location. Felt the need to share because I am very surprised of the bad service. My complaint is about the service I received when I ordered thinly sliced chicken breasts. The butcher did not understand the request. The butcher and other two employees all looked puzzled and confused. They said if they have to slice them it would be an extra charge of $ 1.00 a pound. I agreed to the extra charge then the butcher comes out of the back and says he cannot slice them because «I don’t have a machine, I only have a knife» very bizarre service. I have requested this at multiple different markets and have gotten it without any issues. The employees here all stood in front of me as if I was speaking a different language and they didn’t understand a word I was saying. Way to make a customer feel uncomfortable. I spoke to the manager because I think the employees could benefit from a customer service class. But was disappointed to hear from the manager «well if we cut them too thin they would have holes in them» seriously! What happened to customer service? If I want thinly sliced chicken breast and I am paying for it, what do you care if they have holes in them! Will not be coming back. So annoyed.

Craving for some healthy snack. Here I am! Love their selections of dried fruit chips and nuts. The wine selection is also great. Tonight was not as crowded which is awesome!

I called just to ask what kind of soup they had an they put me on hold for 8 minutes and STILL counting… ALSO my co-​worker called to ask and she’s been on hold for 7 minutes and counting. Literally. This is absolutely ridiculous. Everybody in that store should know what kind of soup they have. I shouldn’t have to be put in hold for 10 minutes+. I could have driven to the store and seen what type of soup they have. Unbelievable. I will not be returning to this store.

I must admit that when I come in here it is normally because I need something specific, so I don’t spend too much time looking around. Plus, it makes me a little claustrophobic because it is really tight in this store. I usually just get in, get what I need, and get out.
The selection and feel of the place is similar to Whole Foods. The prices are higher, like Whole Foods. I’ve purchased some produce from here in the past, but normally I stick with Bedner’s. The deli has good food, cold and hot. They have an olive bar, lots of wine and beer to choose. There are chocolates and other candies. I have always enjoyed the goodies from the bakery. Honestly, I might be in love with them, which is why I rarely come here because I just can’t help myself.
Their selection could be larger, but again, the store is pretty small if you compare it to the size of a Whole Foods or Publix. The employees are always nice and helpful. I can’t say I’ve ever had an employee ignore me any time I’ve ever come here. It’s more like they’re ready to fill my order and I’m the one holding up the line. Yeah, I do that at times. Just so you know, I let people go ahead of me while I take my time choosing. I’m not the rude person that makes everyone wait because I’m indecisive. If I already know what I want, then I’m pretty quick about it.
The store is clean. It’s quiet inside, at least when I come here. There used to be this odd smell to it months ago, but I haven’t noticed it lately. This location is in the Mission Bay Plaza toward the north side of the plaza. Parking isn’t difficult. The lot is huge. I like coming here from time to time. I’ll have to add more to this review at some point, but overall it’s a decent place. Check it out if you’re in the area.

I went here for lunch the other day and ordered a chicken panini from the deli. The service was a little slow, but I wasn’t in a rush. It was pretty good up until half way, when I bit into a chicken bone. I totally lost my appetite and threw the rest out. Besides that, I enjoy shopping here for particular items.

Happy to report almost a year later that the customer service with the cashiers has greatly improved — really nice, very personable. Still, the employees in the bakery don’t acknowledge your presence unless you speak to them, which in some cases is annoying because they are busy at work, but never look up to see if a customer is waiting. The wine guy is excellent — always smiling, always offering a taste. Still, I love, love, love this Fresh Market store. Always immaculately clean. Seasonal items are displayed beautifully. Always an excellent selection of everything. Their outdoor café tables and chairs are great for sitting down and enjoying a cup of their delicious coffee and a pastry. Love Fresh Market at Camino Real!
Note to those who enjoy their coffee samples. It is a «sample» for a reason. «Sample» does not mean go back five times to refill your sample cup. Fresh Market sells a large cup of coffee for $ 1.00! You can’t get a cup of coffee for a dollar anywhere these days, so the point I’m making is that you people can afford to buy a cup of coffee if you are shopping at Fresh Market at Camino Real in Boca Raton! Watching you go back five and six times to refill your sample cup is disgusting in my opinion. Just saying.
The prices are moderate to pricey depending upon what you buy. Still, I prefer Fresh Market over Trader Joe’s any day.

Pleasant shopping experience. Prefer it over Whole Foods and Greenwise. Produce and fruits all look great and are not overly priced. Good deals on meat and nice selection of seafood. Rotisserie chicken is best around. Helpful staff

I’m a Fresh Market adorer. I’ve never quite had this low level experience.
Deli counter employee couldn’t be bothered. The cheese and olive bar was not equipped with sufficient lids and containers. Something smelled bad at it which should not happen at FRESH Market.
There was a 10 person deep line at the register. The cashier explained that 3 hours before closing, staffing is decreased and the atmosphere is casual. Wow!
Something is OFF with this store’s staffing. No manager in sight, although I did ask at check out.
I am really hopeful I walked in here on a bad day. Note to self: don’t come in within THREE hours of closing.

OMG, every time I go to this fresh market I see unfriendly faces no kidding!
I give two stars only because i bought a delicious lunch sirloin steak with mash potatoes and vegetables ready for microwave.
Thanks god I have another fresh market on wiles in coral spring and their customer care are waaaay much better than those losers.

Great market! They have awesome already prepared fresh sandwiches, salads, soups etc. I work close by so it’s my go-​to for lunch. I also love their easy dinner stuff they have– the pizza they make which only requires you to pop in the oven is so yummy and way cheaper than ordering delivery. Great deals on Tuesdays and Sundays. There meat and seafood is the best.

The poor reviews sadden me, most of them comparing it to Whole Foods. I’m not knocking Whole Foods, but I prefer Fresh Market myself. I live in Plantation, and had to pick up an order at the Toys-​r-​Us in this plaza, and I smiled like a kid in a toy store when I saw the Fresh Market, and parked right in front of it, and couldn’t wait to see if it was like the one in Ft. Lauderdale.
Well, it was a delightful experience, upon entering the aroma of rosemary and pine trees greeted me… I noticed tiny rosemary trees, molded to look like Christmas trees, and was checking each one of them out. trying to select the best one. Then a manager said hello, and told me to check out the ones in the back, that the ones up front weren’t doing as well. On the way back I had stop and look at everything, and it was amazing as it I’m’s sister store in FT. L.
Shaved ice, vibrant colored fruits and veggies, ugh heavenly. Samples of wine being passed out all over throughout.
The lay out of the place is a little tight, but it’s hard to fit all that amazing stuff under one roof!
I ended up picking up some French bread, Italian soda, English sausages, English short bread cookies, Indian sauces, French ham, chocolate and peanut butter fudge, a pizza, two bottles of Mimosas and a partridge in a Rosemary Tree!

I have to take this one star down, just because the manager of it is an asshat. I still like the people on the floor/​cash registers, but the managers are jokers.

I was hoping when they opened this Fresh Market that they would improve on the things I didn’t like about their store on Camino Real. They didn’t. The isles are narrow, making it hard to get around the store with a grocery cart. Because the store isn’t as large as Whole Foods or Publix Greenwise the number of items they sell is limited. I’m not crazy about the bakery items I have tried and I find their prices to be high.
It is a nice touch that they give you free coffee to drink while you’re shopping.

LOVE!

This brand new location is much better than the other one in Boca but it still doesn’t even compare to Whole Foods. They do have decent customer service and the place seems very organized and clean, but it always feels like something’s missing because I can’t help but compare The Fresh Market to Whole Foods every time I’m in here.
Their bakery is subpar and last time I was there, I bought their bread and it definitely was not as fresh as it should have been.
The prepared foods section has pre-​made sandwiches and I’m really not down with that. I used to live a 5-​minute walk from this place but I’d always rather make the 10-​minute drive to Whole Foods. The plaza where this store is located is in serious need of renovation so it’s really annoying to get in and out of the parking lot.

This is my new go to place for fresh produce, meat, coffee and baked goods.
The produce here is beautifully displayed and offers a good variety of high quality of fruits and vegetables. The produce is also as delicious as it looks.
The meat is of similar high grade and quality and the butcher will cut the meat for you the way you want it. By the way all of the meat is freshly cut for display to preserve its taste.
Free coffee tasting is offered, usually corresponding to the coffee which is on sale that day. The bread and baked goods are amazing. A must try is the cheddar cheese muffins. Lightly toast them and the cheddar slightly melts on the inside, yum!
My only complaint is that they don’t seem to offer freshly made sandwiches. The only sandwiches are oddly, pre-​made for the day and all of which (including the Italian sub) all seem to contain mayo. (Seriously? An Italian sub with mayo? In NY, they would have them tarred and feathered)
However, despite the sandwich shortcomings, this place is awesome. With specials offered on Tuesday, you can also find pretty reasonable deals here, as well.
I am a fan.
