    My favorite Jarritos
    Phil B.

    Driven by this grocery for years and never been inside. Decided to give it a try since we were having a hard time finding Oaxaca Cheese. Very nice store. Very clean well lit. Had our cheese and my favorite Jarritos Jamica!!

    I've had two off putting encounters with the cashier. First time, My boyfriend and I went to the register to check out and we were not greeted. Instead, we were met with a nasty look by the cashier lady. Her expression looked as if she was in a bad mood or that we didn't belong in there. I tried to brush it off as nothing and asked , "How are you today?". She glared at me while frowning and did not respond. She didn't even tell me the total after ringing up all of the items. I don't want to say that was a racist encounter but it definitely felt like it. I decided to give this place another chance today (3-22-24) even though I was having A LOT of second thoughts while in the parking lot. Fast forward, I went to the register to checkout and it was the same lady. She seemed in a better mood today since her expression seemed okay and she greeted me. I noticed Jesus Rosary necklaces and wanted to purchase one. I asked ,"Could I also add the green rosary necklace?". She immediately said "No" and glared at me. I was a bit confused considering that they're on display with prices on them. But I still decided to ask "Oh... are they not for sale?". She did not answer. She handed me my change (I paid with cash). And I left. I won't be going back somewhere where I'm refused items with no explanation with rude cashiers. I would rate this place 5 stars due to having some great juice but you'all are undeserving of that. Treat everyone the same and with respect. I will be spreading the word around about this place. Good luck.

    SoBro, Meridian Kessler

    First off let me start with I love Fresh Market in Broad Ripple. This is my first bad experience…read more Ordered a sandwich platter for Super Bowl to simplify my life and it did not turn out well. The meats were perfect however the buns they used were sticky and doughy like they needed baking off. The picture is the proof. Do better next time.

    While I can't say I frequent The Fresh Market, I have come here somewhat regularly enough that I'm…read moresurprised I've never reviewed this SoBro grocery staple that feels perfectly located. The basics: The Fresh Market is a chain started in 1982 by Ray and Beverly Berry in Greensboro, North Carolina. It is still North Carolina-based and remains a somewhat modestly sized chain at 161 stores nationwide. It was very much modeled after European markets and shopping here is, quite simply, a warm and immersive experience. It's luxurious, however, it's actually a very simple market and I'd honestly never be able to shop here and get everything that I needed. I live a simple life. Not that simple. In 2022, Cencosud, a Chilean retail company, acquired a 67% stake in the company. From 2021-2023, the chain was named the best grocery store in America by USA Today. Now then, back to the local scene. The Fresh Market is unique in that it has an attached garage along with its street-level parking. There are accessible spots along the front and an automatic door. The floor plan seems to be wheelchair friendly and I was pleasantly surprised by employees actually being available and enthusiastic. Cash registers were actually nicely arranged. While there are end caps here (those enticing areas next to a cash register designed to get you to buy one last thing), they aren't cluttered and are surprisingly pleasant. I had the chance to stop in before an event at Jazz Kitchen across the street. The Fresh Market is best described as a specialty grocery store rather than a more full-service one. They offer easy meals, fresh foods, restaurant-quality meet/seafood, premium produce, baked goods, deli platters, and more. They also carry flowers. While I didn't really find what I was looking for, everything I found made me smile. It made me realize how much I wanted to return when I had more time to really explore it fully. Everything I saw really seemed to emphasize quality. This location is one of four in Indiana with the others being in Fort Wayne, Evansville, and Carmel. Since I wasn't able to find what I was looking for, I have a hard time going with the full-on five-star review. However, I'll add the disclaimer that I was rushing due to time constraints and very much look forward to returning at a time that allows me to really explore shopping here as it's close to my home and so incredibly pleasant. Grocery shopping usually stresses me out. Here? It actually relaxed me. Four stars for now. I'm sure I'll be forking over that fifth star in the future.

    Saraga International Market - Produce area

    Kroger could never. You can find things at Saraga that you can't find anywhere else in Indy, and…read morefor that, I love this international grocery store. That said, this is not my favorite Saraga. (My favorite Saraga is the one in Castleton.) This Saraga is a little grody, to be honest. But how can you hate on a grocery store that exists in Indianapolis with such an abundance of food from all around the world? Overall, I am so glad this place is here. I visited Saraga not knowing what I was looking for, but was quickly drawn to the Japanese snacks aisle. I saw lots of different flavors of Ramune (that Japanese marble soda), which is my children's favorite, and Pocky, my favorite. Then I went to the seafood aisle and looked at the fish swimming in the aquarium below their unlucky brethren who had been filleted and arranged in the display case. Then I walked to the Mexican food aisle and saw many kinds of Mexican candy. The frozen food aisle had lots of different things, from Indian samosas to Korean vegetable pancakes. The meat aisle is hardcore. But, that's to be expected at an international grocery store. Be prepared to see pig snouts and chicken feet packaged next to less offensive, ambiguous red hunks of meat. This is the place to get bulk rice and beans, imported snacks and produce that you can't find anywhere else, like yuca root and plantains. I love Saraga in general, and this one is good and important to this part of Indy.

    I wanna be clear from the beginning, if you're the kind of person that is uncomfortable around…read morepeople of different colors or different languages do not go here. However, your normal person and you love food. This is the place for you. An absolutely amazing selection of produce fresh fish, and ethnic foods of every variety. The prices are really low. We picked up some scallops and fresh oysters for dinner.
