The Fresh Market

A smaller, more quiet version of Whole Foods, The Fresh Market is very quietly tucked away into a shopping center. I usually spend too much on foods here, as there is just so many interesting finds. Produce looks to be only of the organic or regional variety (for example «peaches from Georgia»). The juice varieties seem to have gotten smaller. The meat and seafood counter requires actual interaction with a butcher, which is a nice touch in my opinion. My weakness is the bulk section, where you can buy nuts, snacks, and candies by weight. Overall prices are pretty high but not outrageous (it’s no Kroger or HEB), and I do feel it is of nicer quality.

This is an incredible store. Everyone is super friendly from the deli to the bakery to meat, coffee and cashiers. They have a great selection of produce, fresh meat, organic products and bulk items as well as hot and cold deli selections. I shop here at least once a week even though I live across the street from another grocery.

So many gluten-​free, healthy & organic products at this location!
I was surprised that I hadn’t been to this market but maybe it’s because it’s hidden between all sorts of shopping stores. Pleasantly unexpected!
There were so many options from drinks, produce and shelf products.
The staff is great and willing to help in any way possible.
Found many new healthy products which I quickly became a fan of. Bought some amaretto coffee beans which we grounded onsite.
There are big sections for coffees, trail mixes & candies.
We’ll be back!

This grocery store is amazing! All the employees are very helpful and the store is very clean. I love their high quality food, their meat counter always has great prices on high grade steaks. There produce and bakery is a lot better than Kroger and HEB too. It’s like a whole foods without the price tag, I’d highly recommend shopping here!

Cool lil store with some great finds! It reminds me of Whole Foods and World Market’s goods section.
I see this place all the time and I’ve been meaning to stop in one day but I ended up here prematurely because the nail salon next door had a 30 min wait. My mindset was to just browse the store to kill some time but they just HAD to have some good looking market baked cookies on sale ($ 3.99) by the entrance when you walk in. Not only am I sweet mouth person, I had my kids with me who spotted the dang cookies! Off into our arms they went. We get a little further in the store and a lady is walking by with a bucket of fried chicken from the deli telling us to go get a bucket because it’s $ 4.99. My kids, being true fried chicken eaters say, «Mom go get some chicken!» I give in and head for a box at deli which is by the bakery section.
The bakery section – ON POINT! They have a great variety of cookies, pies, cakes, and baked goods. My kids are big bread eaters (smh) and spotted a box of 6 mini butter croissants on sale for $ 1.99 so they were «as good as got» also.
We browsed around some more and from what I can see some items are pricey but when they have good deals, they have GOOD DEALS! I noticed they have a salad bar (by the pound) and pre-​packaged sandwiches, salads, and market made chicken salad so I’m glad to have that option for lunch.
All in all I enjoyed browsing the fresh cut flowers, the great wine selection, sampling the coffees and everything else the store has to offer. Everyone from the back to the front of the store was friendly and helpful. I don’t see myself shopping here for all of my grocery needs but I’ll definitely be back for specific things.
Oh yeah, the chicken and croissants barely made it home. We ended up killing more time by sitting at one of the tables and digging into the boxes. Don’t judge us!

Love this grocery store!
While «cheap» might not be a good word to describe this place, it’s a nice, clean, and special store that has lots of unique things you aren’t able to find elsewhere. They have amazing prepared foods, meat & seafood, bakery, produce and even really good sushi and sandwiches. Everything looks so fresh. The employees are friendly and always offering samples. Today they were giving out free ice cream cookie sandwiches to each customer!
It is an upper-​end grocery store, and the quality is great.

Stopped by today. Very nice high end grocery store nearby. Lots of organic stuff. The sushi was actually very very good and healthy.
Meat products very fresh. Good selection .
I saw the pastry section and will come back to try. They have the same selection as la Madeline but lots less. Hoping it will taste just as good.
Staff very very nice.

The place to go if I need a specialty item or higher end item and don’t want to drive into the city to get it at Whole Foods. The employees are always super nice and helpful.
Lately they have been rearranging the isles. I’m not sure if it was due to them moving around but most of the bread items in the far back corner were expired. I eventually couldn’t get what I came for so I left and went elsewhere.

I do love this place. I got some really great deals and then paid a lot more than i should have for some things. I love it though and will for sure go back. I got some tomatoes there for a really great price. Bought some fresh beef, and cooked one of the ribeyes the other day and it was so good.
this is great having this marker that is small enough to get in and out of but large enough to still have all those specialty items!

This store is pretty dang expensive. They mostly sell foods like Whole Foods or Central Market. I’m glad they opened one in the South area of Houston in Webster.

I am so happy that Fresh Market opened! They have a great selection of produce, meats, and other things. I especially like their deli section, as they have a great selection of paninis, sandwiches and such.
While this isn’t my go to grocery store, it is my back up when I need something in particular and don’t have the time to go to Whole Foods.

Great place for fresh, healthy food options without all the hippy pretentiousness. They even have a peanut grinder to make your own peanut butter. Lots of great prepped dinners so you just take them home and cook. Awesome snack section where you scoop it yourself

I love this place because we don’t have nothing like this in Baytown… They have a little bit everything!!! They have very good produce!
Yes I love it more because I don’t have to go to whole foods very often!!!

I’m from Florida and I love our Fresh Market. This one is a little small compared to the one I’m used to. The meat/​seafood dept. was great. Might be a little pricey, but it was better than any of the meats or seafood I have gotten from Randall’s or HEB.
The only bummer is that it is in such a high traffic pain in my butt area. I’ll be back for my meats and seafood!!!

Fresh Market, how I love thee! I’m so ecstatic that Fresh Market opened a new location in the ‘burbs. This is exactly what the Bay Area needed and I for one am welcoming them with open arms (I don’t care what hipsters they may bring, dangit!).
At the entrance, they have their weekly specials listed complete with pricing. Once you walk-​in you can admire the layout: fresh produce and flowers to the right; deli, butcher block, and bakery in the center; and spirits and packaged items to the left (canned goods, bath salts, lotions, vitamins, etc). As far as décor, it is very reminiscent of a French market /​café. All of the produce is fresh, attractive, and reasonably priced. As for the meats and seafood, oh my gravy! Beautiful cuts, great selection, and friendly and knowledgeable folks that can answer your questions. I purchased 2 lbs of Italian sausage and it was to die for; minimal grease when cooking and seasoned excellently. As I made my way to the bakery I wanted to do a happy dance. Along with bath time essentials, bread and baked goodies are my weakness. Their coconut-​pineapple bread is heavenly. It’s so moist, flavorful, and perfectly balanced. The pieces of fruit give it a great texture. Their zucchini bread is also delicious and I would definitely recommend it.
As for the deli, there’s so much to choose from. Want pizza? They have it, from Margherita to fully loaded. They carry a pie for everyone. Chicken? Pick your poison, fried, rotisserie, and WINGS, yes, please! In the mood for salad? You’ll be in a berry and green field heaven, my friend. Have fun choosing!
I have to mention I picked up a great bottle of wine and I’m ready for more. I can’t wait to come back and try my hand at some more Fresh goodies. This might just be what I need to stay away from Whole Foods for a while.

Since moving back to the area, I’ve been pretty surprised that there were no organic/​premium grocery stores. Luckily there are Vietnamese and Indian/​Pakistani places for international needs. But there’s no Sprouts, Trader Joe’s, Whole Food’s, or Central Market in our area. Kroger’s and HEB do carry some upmarket goods, but usually they cater to the hoi polloi like myself.
As grocery stores go, this one is pretty good. They’ve geometrically stacked their produce. There’s plenty of gourmet «to-​go» options. Instead of a meat case, you have to interact with your butcher. Nowadays that’s a little intimidating, but I like it.
Endless snacks. And if you’re in the mood for Salted Caramel ice cream, I counted at least 6 different brands.
Everyone was nice. The manager lady seemed to be on the phone. (with corporate no doubt)
But this place isn’t for the «price conscious». My go to Greek Yogurt is 150% more here than my local haunts.
For things you can’t buy at the regular grocery stores, this place has a lot of it.

It’s okay. They need more fresh juices. This place still compares to a typical grocery store. But the selection is a start for Clear Lake.
My low review comes from the blondish haired girl that checked out my groceries. She was very rude and commented on what I was purchasing. The person helping her bag was amused at her comments and laughed. I’ve never experienced this anywhere! Their energy left me sick to my stomach.
I won’t be back. This could have been a much better experience.

Webster is moving on up! I’m thrilled that we have a grocery store like this in the area now. This place is kind of small but it gets the job done. I really hope it doesn’t become impossible to get to when they expand Baybrook Mall to Galleria sized proportions.
We mainly come here for the fresh meat. It’s reasonably priced, great quality, and organic. The butchers are all good humored and super engaging.
They have a lot of stuff you can’t find at Kroger’s or HEB but MAN OH MAN can this place get expensive if you’re not paying attention!
This is up there with Whole Foods on the list of grocery stores that Sheila is not allowed to attend without a chaperon.

Really great customer service. Everybody greets you with a smile. the produce is fresh. Good options of ready to cook meats. Lots of choices for processed foods besides general mills/​coke.

This place is awesome! I have been waiting for a market to open up like this for a looooooong time! It has a whole foods/​central market vibe but at a smaller scale. I usually shop at HEB so as far as pricing on produce, milk, meats, etc… YES they are a tad pricier but don’t let that deter you from walking in.
I was able to walk around (as best as I could on opening day).
They have a salad bar, soup bar, seafood bar and gourmet station where there are more salads, pasta salads, roasted salmon/​chicken, and gourmet sandwiches available to order. (I’m sure there is more but there were just too many ppl in the way!). They also have a sushi counter and a bakery where you can find allot of international breads! (They make arabic pita bread, I’m impressed).
Saving the best for last, the dessert section wow! If you like french pastries forget la madeleine just come here! I bought a crème brûlée which was a good size asked them to caramelize it all for 2.99. Not bad at all! (It was soo good).
All in all go give it a try it has an international feel very upscale, everyone is super friendly and you’ll be sure to find something tasty.
