Ted’s Fresh Market

Being Ukrainian American, I must admit this store has everything my taste buds crave every now and then. Great selection of ethnic foods from Eastern Europe! Quality produce at reasonable prices. Cheeses, smoked fish, salmon and herring of many varieties. Hungarian salami. Little smoke fishes from Latvia.
Love this place and the good news is that the parking lot across the street can be used for patrons of Ted’s Fresh Market.
This is a fabulous grocery store in West Rogers Park.
Please support your local establishments and keep Devon Ave. vibrant!
Enjoy!

This is the epitome of what a great neighborhood market should be. Produce is always fresh and seasonal. The people are insanely helpful. And there’s a pickle barrel filled with delicious kosher-​style pickles.
The produce prices are pretty good and there are usually a few specials which make for fantastic deals. It’s the prices on things like milk and eggs that keep me from rating it 5 stars. The prices are just too high. Otherwise, though, everything is reasonably priced.
There’s free parking across the street, though I have yet to take advantage of it, as I live down the street. But it’s definitely a perk in an area where parking is not always easy.

This is my neighborhood spot. They have tons of organic produce and product. Kalona milks and yogurts, a fresh deli with nitrate free options. Annie’s and Jason’s organic products. Yogi teas, lots of different imported delights.
The owner is great and really strives to go in the local and organic direction which is great, seems like he’s been in the market business for quiet a while so I appreciate his aesthetic.
I love the fact that everything is always fresh and the employees are always friendly and helpful!
Stop by and check it out yourself, will not disappoint! The prices are cheaper than all of the competition. Thanks teds!

It’s almost worth living in the neighborhood just to be able to come here daily… Ted’s is my favorite grocery store in Rogers Park. Great produce, and an extensive selection of dairy products, cookies/​snacks, grains, canned and jarred goods from around the world. Plus a deli, and some meats and cheeses. I think I spent almost an hour here on my first visit, and still have a hard time running in and out.
Note — some of the cookies and biscuits they stock come and go, so be forewarned to stock up if you find something you love. (Or learn not to get too attached… :) They had what appeared to be a one-​off shipment of the most perfect coffee flavored, lightly sweetened crisps from Indonesia that haven’t returned :(Always super fun to browse the aisles here.

If u love in the neighborhood u probably already know about this place. It’s the cheapest place to get all sorts of fruit and vegetables. They also have great halal chicken. It’s normal sized, not huge pieces. I come here at least 5 times a week.

The interior of the Ted’s Fresh Market since they reopened is much better than it used to be. Selection of fruits and vegetables is decent. Few times when I’ve shopped at this place, I’ve noticed that produce which they advertise on their window is of sub-​par quality. While their selection of fresh produce is decent, the selection of other groceries like breads, and cheeses is limited.

Ted’s Fresh Market has one of the best looking produce departments
I have ever seen, so if you are looking for some quality produce you
should definitely check this place out.
However, every aisle is also filled with people from the Old Country
holding lengthy conversations and blocking the aisles.
and these have to truly be some of the narrowest store aisles I have
ever seen,
Ted’s also has lots of European type foods/​products if that’s your thing,
It wasn’t my thing so I took a quick look around and saw nothing I wanted.
I couldn’t even find anything I wanted on the Clearance Rack, which
held items like peppers, onions, broccoli, yadda, yadda…
They had lots of imported cookies and chocolates and I was liking those
but since I stopped at the bakery prior to here I thought I’d better cover
my eyes and run away…
And cmon now, they had Coke but no diet coke. sheesh…
So, I will be in no hurry to return to this store, because honestly people
from the Old Country blocking the aisles irritate the hell out of me.
Nuff Said. Over and Out…

In this neighborhood there are a ton of small stores that sell fresh produce as their main drawing point and a pretty decent selection of other grocery items also. Well Ted’s is one of them. Literally about half the store is the produce section! I stopped in for a really quick shopping trip and didn’t really do a lot of looking around, but they did have the items I was looking for and the lady who was my cashier was friendly. It will take a few more visits to decide for sure, but I’ve got a feeling that Ted’s may become my go to neighborhood grocery store. Stop in and check out this store out especially if you’re in need of fresh produce and you’re almost sure to leave smiling.

This fruit market has fresh produce at great prices. When they were closed I tried several other neighborhood markets only to find that none have this variety. this quality of freshness, and this price. The customer service is great too as they have started to carry several items once I asked (plantains, a specific brand of yogurt etc) So happy they are back open and better than ever.

Great store! Not big, but have big variety of groceries. very clean. friendly staff. good prices. free parking across the street AND they help you to bring your groceries to the car!!! I was plesantly surprice!

Ted’s fruit market is great. You can never go in there without coming out with ten times the amount of stuff you need, simply because everything looks so great. There are all kinds of unique canned goods and fruits and vegetables. I highly recommend stopping in

Hi —
In my opinion, true food has premium ingredients that make food taste extraordinary. Ted’s Fresh Market pays great attention to the details and careful scrutiny of every product makes the store an exceptional ! Whether you’re looking for something ordinary or searching for something special, its shelves are lined with many options!
The store is clean, and has been remodeled with beautiful taste! The staff personnel is friendly, helpful and polite. The hours of the store are very convenient: 7am to 10 pm and it opens 7 days a week! Prices are great for the Chicago land area!
I highly recommend to visit Ted’s Fresh Market and have a real SHOPPING EXPERIENCE :)

I have to agree with the décor that sidney had stated but the prices and quality are not even close. Im sure sidney is an employee of Teds. I have to say it is clean and you would hope it is considering its been closed over a year and a half. There prices are steep to make up for that extra looks décor that most shoppers think how pretty. The produce buyer and presentation of product needs to be stepped up and the prices are out there. I would rather stay with City Fresh down the street where I can at least park my car and walk out with a good amount of groceries for under $ 25. Décor isnt everything people nowadays its about how far your washington can stretch not your benny.

Ted’s is the perfect neighborhood market. They have loads of fresh produce and that thing that you forgot to get at the supermarket. I’m usually here at least 3 times a week.

When I lived in Chicago I would frequent Ted’s regularly, and still do whenever I am in town. They have an impressive produce selection at fantastic prices. There also carry a wide variety of European specialty foods. And they have a friendly staffed Deli to boot. All this in a neighborhood market — yeah, I’m a fan!

I am pleased as punch to have this market close to my casa. The produce/​vegetables are fresh, good-​looking and cheap. The folks at the deli are friendly and helpful. I got some horseradish mustard and mayo with a crazy character and some Cyrillic writing on it that make my taste buds explode. It is probably at other markets, but I saw and bought it here first. Great neighborhood joint.

Great Produce, great prices ½ from my new house :)

My bad, Ted’s get’s a star back! I just didn’t look hard enough to find the Spagetti sauce!!!

If you are local to this area and often buy fresh produce (regardless of organic or not) and would like to save some money, it would behoove you to check out Ted’s fruit market. It’s a multi ethnic produce and grocery store. Just an example of the prices found on vegetables, I got a pound of loose mushrooms for $ 1.98, usually $ 3.+ at Jewel. Also about 14 bunches of garlic for less than $ 3 dollars (.89 cent a pound), usually $ 2.59 at Jewel. Mind you they are the same vegetables. If you are a bargain shopper you can look in the corner and find week old veggies that are on reduced quick sale since they are soon to expire. One can find many types of dairy products cheaper here than at the chain grocery stores. And if you are outgoing enough to try something different, walk the aisles and pickup a box of tea biscuits imported from Europe, roasted red peppers from the middle east, all kinds of goodies from many different places. During the gifting season you can find many stocking and gift bag stuffers and its cheaper to buy here than at chic trade stores which notoriously markup their stuff.
