Fresh Thyme Farmers Markets is a grocery store and natural food marketplace providing healthy food and healthy values with an atmosphere reminiscent of a local farmers market. It is officially considered the best grocery store by many, with the best selection of beautiful organic produce in the area, noted for being fresher tasting and of better quality than surrounding stores. The market offers a great variety of items catering to vegan, paleo, keto, vegetarian, or wheat- and gluten-free diets, with the best selection of GF Vegan options anywhere. It carries good selections of prepared or ready-to-cook foods and general groceries, with many Clean Label and organic options. Prices are great, very competitive, and cheaper than Whole Foods, with a checkout setup that makes it easy to see prices. The staff is super nice, kind, and helpful, providing better service. It is a first stop for groceries for many, a good place for good organic food and a little cheat snack.
Finally found a local store that carries Central Illinois Bake Co. breads.

Great organic options except my fruit is already rotten after 2 days. We got a great steak for $10. I like this place-should be open until 10-no self-checkout options

First shopper at Fresh Thyme in Downers Grove. Great customer service and friendly staff. I really like the very healthy and fresh food that they offer. I will be back!
