My new favorite study spot. Only problem I haven’t liked their food. I tried the salmon toast, couscous bowl, and to-go asain salad.

I love the selection of fresh produce and bread, and harder to find spices. I appreciate the service also. My favorites are Ahna and Lily, who are both helpful, friendly, and kind. Will be sure to return again and again.

I would like to commend one of your employees at the Fresh Market location. I frequently visit the Alexandria Virginia establishment and recently had an encounter with a remarkable employee in the kitchen. She was busy washing dishes and preparing roasted chicken salad. What caught my attention was her assertiveness when she took charge of the situation after I asked one of the gentlemen, who seemed occupied with his phone and iPad, for assistance. This gentleman, an Hispanic man absorbed in his iPad, was asked by the employee to help the customers, as there were about five of us waiting. However, when I approached her to seek help with a stuck nut, she promptly came out from the kitchen and assisted me in removing it. She even went a step further and offered me a taste of some of her favorite dishes. As she apologized for her colleagues that was just heart melting.While waiting for my turn in line, she prioritized taking the orders of the others before attending to me, as I had entered last. She requested the assistance of the aforementioned gentlemen, but they were rather unhelpful. The Hispanic man, who claimed to be her boss, rudely refused to cooperate and left, engrossed in his loud iPad, as I overheard. Additionally, the tall African man was too occupied with his phone conversation to lend a hand. Despite facing these challenges, the employee continued to offer complete meals at affordable prices. She cleverly came up with amusing names for the dishes, showcasing her wit and personality.Although I cannot recall her name, she mentioned that people often struggle to remember it and suggested referring to her as "pretty" or "linda" in Spanish. In my opinion, she deserves recognition as one of the outstanding employees at Fresh Market. I have since become a regular consumer of their meals, despite being primarily a burger enthusiast. The employee mentioned something about a combo meal, which perfectly sums up their offerings, the way she offered I didn't even noticed the price. Her dedication to customer service surpasses all expectations, and she goes above and beyond to ensure a pleasant experience for customers.Curious about her employment history, I asked her why she left Amazon Fresh kitchen, where she mentioned being a newcomer at the Fresh Market. As a CEO myself, I find it perplexing when talented individuals do not remain with their employers. She revealed that she and her colleagues, including the managers, didn't like her, but I see nothing about her not to like, she's seems genuinely nice. But her kindness smile says she didn't understand why, I can understand why she made such an impact on the people there. She assured me that she has no intention of pursuing higher positions or causing any stress in her life, as she takes mental illness medications. It's disheartening to know that good employees leave companies due to poor management. and how some people with some type of mental disability can be such kind person. I wonder what happened to her...I sincerely hope that I will continue to see her cheerful demeanor in the kitchen. I highly recommend Fresh Market's meals as they offer a healthier option for those seeking a delicious alternative. Who ever hired her needs a credit as well.

I prefer Harris Teeter or Wegmans. At least you know the fat content in the ground. Meat at Fresh Market will not print it online. It's a waste of my time.

We have been going to fresh Market regularly for years, but we will be going less often due to several reasons. Many of the items we shop for are unavailable very often , and check out lines are growing longer with not enough staff available ( often 1/2 lines only). Went in recently ( twice) and came out with half of what I needed and waited 10 minutes to check out. Also the meat area , where I often go has been uncooperative when it comes to having certain meats cut like I needed for specific needs. This happened 3/4 times in the past few weeks. Ended up going to Safeway and had it done no problem. I hope FM addresses some of these issues , but for now we are limiting our visits.

Good deli and butchery, as well as well priced Thursday specials. A couple of suggestions: 1. Please teach your staff to paste the scanner label on the bottom of the tray when customer is buying a bistrot meal as I have had many meals become all mixed up due to the fact that by turning the tray upright to scan it mixes all of the foods (main course and sides). I for one like to keep them separate and I am not a fan of mixing my mashed potatoes with my cole slaw. 2. Please please please open a 10 items or less register for customers. I cannot tell you how many time I have been stuck behind people buying much more and had to wait a long time for my 2-3 items to be rung up...very frustrating, especially when i visit during my lunchtime as my time is spent in line. I have had to leave meals and run to subway or the pastry shop down the street where it is faster. THANKS

The weekly meal deal section is often picked over and missing one or more items. Other specials the store offers are difficult to follow or not clearly explained. Overall, the quality of the food is great and they have a lot of quality prepared meals to choose from. Beer and wine selection is good, too.

Excellent. But I need your help. I need to buy pine nuts and I found them in a bag where the spices are sold. I need to know that the pine nuts are NOT made in China. Package says it's organic. Please respond soon.

DO NOT USE THE CATERING DEPARTMENT.On the day of my party, 1 hour before its start, the store could not find my order! This compromised 2/3 of my party food. I was devastated.I later spoke 2 times with the manager to understand what happened and how a ‘lost order’ would be prevented in the future. Unfortunately, IT CAN’T.There is no accountability.

I love the deli options and the rosemary and rotisserie chicken, can't go wrong. The crab cakes are to die for and can't go wrong with the wine options. Plus there's other great stores nearby such as Starbucks, ABC, sushi place, grocery store and nail spot, Just a lot of great business within walking distance.

This would likely be a five-star review if it weren't for one (yes, ONE!) employee in the meat/seafood department. In the 10-12 times I've encountered him in the last year or so, he is consistently rude, lazy and unhelpful. Today, rather than package crabcakes out of the seafood counter, it was easier for him to point us to a bunker. All good and well if the bunker had been stocked, but it was not. SO, back to the seafood counter we went and we did get the crabcakes but it blows my mind that a company keeps an employee who so clearly doesn't enjoy his job.

Becareful with cashiers, looks like their life is in misery and If you buy a Bottle of Soda they shake it all over the place so when you get home and open it to drink it....it sprays all over... I would not recommend this store to nobody, specially buying in the Deli area where employeeshave a bad appereance, nasty attitudes and they use the F word so loud and so many times making Fresh Market a very uncomfortable place to be at very unpolite and unproffesional Fresh market use to be a great place to spent money at, real friendly cashiers, happy personnel and awesome food, but now looks like is not even worth buying expensive food that is not even fresh, The salads have 3 cherries, 3 raspberries, not even cheese and the container is 1/3 full, for 9 dollars, good luck trying to sell something Fresh Market. No future for this place, close it and put a Blokbuster instead.

Fresh vegetable & fruits and availability of products also good. We always busy form here and also recommend. But bad incident happened to my family two lady outside main entrance were distributing religious flyers about Jesus. We said no we don’t want flyers so she was keep trying to give flyers specially wired when she was trying to give flyers to my kids. Management should think about this cuz I was having two and half year old baby in my hands with fruit vegetable cart with me. Should I consider not come again or what……Pls think about it……

I've always enjoyed coming here, but my experience this week left a really bad taste in my mouth. I went to grab a last minute pie for pie day and ended up getting a few because of the great options (kudos to the baker), during check out my daughter was talking to me so I hadn't noticed the associate put my things in the plastic bag already without asking me. When I asked if I could just carry the pies and not use or pay for the plastic bag she just said no, because she's already added the charge to my bill and wouldn't be able to take it off. I would have preferred to just carry them in my hands in all honesty and it may be silly but I see that as more of the principal of things - the last thing we need is grocery stores adding on extra fees without specifying or getting your approval. Just overall disappointed with the experience since I had high expectations of the place.
