Earthfare in West Knoxville offers a great variety of organic produce, grass-fed meats and other…read morefood without artificial preservatives and sweeteners. It can be pricey, though, unless the products are on sale. NormalIy I would rate them much higher; however, today's visit left me wondering whether I should return. While the employee behind the meat and seafood counter provided helpful customer service, the other employees I encountered did not. One of the sale items that brought me in this day -- baguettes for 50 cents each. What a deal, I thought, as I later reasoned that the ad: "SAVE 50 cents each" -- meant the loaf did not cost a half dollar. As I walked through the bakery/deli aisle, I saw only one baguette in a large display basket. The price, $3.29 with 50 cents off if one also purchased a pound of chicken salad. The solo employee visible in the deli had his back to me as he was busy with a task. When I caught his attention, I asked him where I might find the baguettes. He said, "back there." i asked him if there were more. He said he didn't know and didn't offer to assist. As he returned to his task and with no eye contact, he added, "They must be sold out." I walked back to the lone baguette as another bakery/deli employee emerged. I asked her if it was on sale. She didn't know and instructed me to take it to checkout where the cashier would know. WRONG. He did know that customers would get 50 cents off if they also purchased chicken salad, so I brought up the ad on my phone displaying baguettes at 50 cents off with no chicken salad attached. Such a small issue, yet with a reputation as a top-notch store, one would think customers might encounter employees skilled in top-notch customer service and product knowledge.

I am happy to have EarthFare in West Knoxville. These days, there are not many true "health food /…read moreorganic" stores. That concept is dominated by Whole Foods and/or incorporated within regular grocery stores. All that said, EarthFare is a unique place and very convenient for those of us in this part of town. I really like the unique assortment of items here. Great produce, bakery, meats, bulk nuts/snacks, and cheese. They also have some really good deals from time to time. Seriously, you can actually find a few bargains here. The prepared food is good too. But, the hot bar is inconsistent. Hard to know when they'll have food or if it'll be good. They could easily improve on this. Same with the yogurt selection -- it's pretty sparse. Overall: Good local/regional healthy grocery store. I recommend giving them a try.

I am extremely disappointed with my experience ordering a wedding cake from the Publix University…read morestore. I paid for the cake on July 21 and specifically verified that it would be delivered to our wedding venue at 3:00 PM. I even had the bakery double-check the order, and I was assured 100% that everything was set. When the cake hadn't arrived by around 4:00-4:30 PM, we had to start calling to find out what had happened. We were then told that someone had supposedly called on the 18th and changed the order to an 8:00 AM pickup. That explanation made no sense, considering I didn't even finalize and pay for the order until July 21. How could someone have changed an order before it was even completed? What was even more frustrating was that if the bakery truly believed the cake was supposed to be picked up at 8:00 AM and no one arrived, why didn't anyone call the contact numbers on the order? Instead, no one reached out, and we were left scrambling with only about 30 minutes before guests arrived, wondering if our wedding cake would make it to the venue. We were even told they weren't sure if they could get it there in time. As for the cake itself, the decorations were beautiful, and I do appreciate the decorator's work. Unfortunately, the cake was noticeably lopsided, and the cake itself was dry, especially considering the price we paid. It simply was not worth the cost. Mistakes can happen, but this was a wedding--an event that can't be redone. The lack of communication, the confusion surrounding the order, and the stress this caused on such an important day were unacceptable. I sincerely hope Publix reviews its procedures so that no other couple has to experience this on their wedding day.

The pricing is on par with a Kroger and are comparable with their selections. Food City is getting better with their organic selections, not a fantastic selection, but it is growing and I love seeing this. They also are getting a growing selection of Gluten Free items. My wife is Gluten Free and we do shop there. She always finds something new, and the prices is on par with the other big chains. The meats are always fresh and I have never had a bad experience with any meats I've purchased there. The butcher there is on point and is really helpful and is quick to answer any questions you may have. Choice cuts are fresh and the prices are fantastic and are some of the best prices on meat in the area. The restrooms, are alright, not the cleanest but will do in a pinch. The store itself is always clean and I have never seen any crud on the floor, dirty items (Dust etc.) or damaged products. All in all, it is a great place to shop and my wife and I shop here often.

IGA advertises that they are cheap and that they are affordable, but every time that I have been there, it seems that the prices are a little bit more than where you would find at other stores. I think the reason that this place would appeal to me most is because of the simplicity and the convenience for me as this is the closest grocery on the East side of town. I think the best place to shop, for me at least, is Aldi's and I guess I'll go there instead because the green leaf lettuce there is fresher and will not go bad as quickly as the $4 lettuce that I bought at IGA.
