I have been shopping at Fresh Market in Lake Mary since they opened! It's always a great shopping experience for me, not only because of product, it's truly the employees at this store. They are attentive and committed! To name a few, Carol, in the bakery goes out of her way to get me the right product and always with a smile! Gladys in the deli is the same...she always puts the customer first! Paula not only cashiers but works several areas and is always so friendly and customer oriented. They all make me feel like family.Yesterday, my car stalled out on me in the parking lot. Austin and one other associate pushed my car out of the traffic area and offered to do anything to help. Thank you, my Fresh Market family, for making me feel so valuable!Diane Jenson

I worked here for a little over a month (as long as I could make it) earlier this year and thought I'd pop in to clarify things for some people in these reviews. I have been in the service industry since I was 15 and never in my life have I seen such a disorganized and chaotic company in my life. I was hired for their deli department, making more than most people there at a whopping $14.50 an hour (can't even buy most things in that store for less than $14 funnily enough). First of all, despite their astronomical prices everything but the chicken salad is completely pre-made, most coming from plastic tubs plopped directly in the case . Things are not rolled over properly or in alignment with health code so honestly some items we had absolutely no idea how old they were. The preparation of their rotisserie chickens is so against health code that I feel its probably illegal. It was so bad there was almost always raw chicken juice on the floor of the deli kiosk from them loading the chickens into the oven (something that according to company policy is supposed to be done in a completely different refrigerated room). Cross contamination runs amuck and I truly would never eat their food, especially not if you have any sort of allergen concerns. Aside from how absolutely disgusting their food prep / areas are, they treat their employees terribly. I see many reviews on this page about employees being rude, this is because they are paying you pennies and treat you terribly. It makes you not want to be there at all. I was put directly on the floor & operating power equipment with no training. They actually ended up training me my THIRD WEEK of already being on the floor, only after being threatened by corporate. They had me working in a refrigerated room for 9+ hours a day despite NEVER telling me that I would be working back there before I was hired. I worked 10 1/2 hours on my very first day in a room so cold that I couldn't feel my fingers. I didn't even know I was going to be back there so I brought no jacket and no one thought to offer me one despite me finding out later that they had jackets on hand for working in refrigerated areas. Had management consistently get rude with me about being slow/not keeping up with food production despite me not having any training and quite literally just being thrown back there. I got my friend a job there as we were so short staffed and they witnessed management quite literally talking about me behind my back. They also witnessed our management making homophobic jokes with customers on their very first day. It took 2 whole weeks for them to get officially scheduled as management was so disorganized that no one knew what was going on. I would NEVER recommend anyone to work here or shop here as they clearly have no respect for their employees or their customers. What I witnessed here in a little over a month was worse than any job I've ever had and goes quite far beyond what I would say is legal for a company to do. I witnessed an employee drop a ham in a trashcan and turn right around to slice it for a customer, they have the poorest training I've ever seen for people who are supposed to handle food and power equipment, & they quite honestly should be reported to the Better Business Bureau.

This place has got a killer location with a ton of produce options. Yeah, it might be a bit pricier, but I'm hoping that's because they're all about that top-notch quality. I'm telling you, I always make a beeline for this joint just for their seafood salad. By the way, anyone know if they're affiliated with Publix? Just curious...

Picked up a great Sushi dinner last night, and it was delicious. I paired that with one of their fresh made soups, and had a quick meal with little preparation.

Still trying to figure out how I spent $237 on 15 items. ? I almost cried walking to my car. I just want to know what do they do with all the food no one can afford when it expires?

What's there not to like about this place? The prices, yes are a bit high, but the shopping experience, and quality of what you get explain the prices. Beautiful decor, great food, and the employees are a nice change from today's typical customer service reps.

Such friendly, helpful service and everything we bought was high quality and excellent tasting! Bakery items excellent selection and tasty! Bulk items usually disappoint and everything we tried here was super fresh and delicious! (Malted milk balls and sesame sticks for example). Signed up for their rewards while I shopped, super easy, and had a delicious cup of coffee while I shopped for $0.99!!

This location is set up nicely and well stocked. I wasn't impressed with the restroom but the store is clean for the most part. The Meat Department is quick to assist and trim to your weight request which makes for a less fatty meal.

The chicken salad croissant sandwich platter I ordered and picked up today was amazing. The croissant sandwiches were so delicious. Can’t wait to order it again. Everyone at my luncheon loved them. The size was quite generous too and the platter was nicely arranged. Good job.

Love this place. A little pricey but has unique offerings as well as the standards and always clean. Great place to grab a quick lunch and eat while there. It's like Publix and Whole Foods had a baby...

A good place to go and buy a lot of stuff that you didn't know you needed. Lots of fresh produce and flowers. A well stocked meat department and a bakery that has way too many yummy things. All the employees are courteous and helpful.

Larry in the Deli is my favorite employee. He is friendly, always has a great attitude and is very knowledgeable.
