Dead cake area
Ashley K.

Epic experience while digging through the "dead cake" area. I spotted an illustrious (what I have named) "Phteven Cake" and promptly fell apart laughing with my daughter (see pic) upon closer inspection. I think perhaps they are training new bakers but whomever made this masterpiece should be on Netflix's The Next Best Dessert show. Not only is the color true to form but the size and shape of the teeth : perfection. I can barely tell the difference between the cake and the real deal! I can't understand why this cake was on sale. $12.41?? Such a steal! Far better than the baroque styled raspberry monstrosity melting beside it. Should you need some real artistry and dedication put into your pastries, look no further. Fred Meyer bakers have you covered.

Sheesh, this place is HUGE! It's like Walmart... except it's better and... well... BETTER. It's a one stop shop in its truest nature. Need groceries (including fresh and frozen produce)!? CHECK. Clothing?! CHECK. School supplies?! CHECK. Need to buy someone nice jewelry?! CHECK. Souvenirs?! CHECK. I say it's better than Walmart since the variety (and quality) of their products just seems above par in comparison. Check out lines were never long since there were enough cashiers to tend to everyone. Awesome first visit.

This is not my usual Fred Meyer, but I happened to be in the area and needed a few things, so I went in. I don't know that I have ever been to a Fred Meyer with such horrible customer service. I cruised by the meat counter and there were 2 staff people behind it and the female was yelling at the male "you better not screw me over again!" and proceeded to tell him - loudly - what he had done wrong before, case this, the meat that, whatever. So, I stopped directly in front of them, waited to be acknowledged, wasn't, then said "excuse me." She looked and me and said nothing. Just gave me that "what do you want" look. I said that yelling something like that and going on like that in front of customers and children (there was a little girl of about 5-years-old next to me) was probably not a great idea. She said nothing, and kind of smirked, and then went on to berate the guy. No comment, not even an "I'm sorry, how can I help you?" Nothing. So, I asked for a manager. She said he's not here. I asked if there's a store manager, she said there probably is "out there somewhere." I asked her if she could page one for me. She smirked and walked away. A manager came from the front of the store and I told him what had happened. He seemed to listen and care. Moving on.... I'm at the clearance area and there's a door where staff comes in and out with product to stock. And these 2 staff guys were there going on about this worthless girl who does this and that and has all this wasted time. Then I'm looking for the Free Friday item (frequently on Fridays there is a digital download for a free item). I can't find the item, or even a space for it, so it doesn't appear that they carry it. At other Fred Meyers, if they don't carry the item, or are out, they'll substitute something for it. This Friday's item was a small bottle of Nuprin Ibuprofen. So, I got a small bottle of store-brand Ibuprofen and went up to Customer Service to ask about a substitution. Another smirker. I said something like "it doesn't appear that you carry this item .... are you substituting anything for it?" She said, "oh we had some, we got plenty, if you didn't get one, that's too bad." I said "oh, at other Fred Meyer's they'll substitute and give you something else." Snarky response ... "yeah, no, we don't substitute. Like I said, we had it, and you missed out." Alrighty then. {I don't mind not getting the item, it's the tone and the words that I have a problem with.} They had these Squishmallow stuffed animals on sale for half price. And they were all in this sort of tall wire bin. And a lot of them were dirty. The white was dingy, scuff marks, etc. It took me a while to dig through and finally find one that was good enough to purchase. When I got up to the register, I asked the girl if she had a big bag that I could put it in because I didn't want it to get dirty. And I was holding it for her to scan the tag so that I didn't risk it getting dirty, she says yes, snatches it from me, drags it on the scanner and then shoves it into a small bag. Ugh. I wanted to hold it to make sure it didn't get dirty, and she just dirtied it and shoved it in to a small bag when I asked for a big one (that they have and I saw there in the cubbies). Annoying. I did find some fun things on markdown, so that was a treat. I didn't stay long enough to check out the other half of the store because I was annoyed with them.... I really enjoy going to new grocery stores. It's something I enjoy doing when I vacation in different places. It's neat to see how it's laid out, what products they have, are there any hot little deals, etc. However, this Fred Meyer is one I don't think I would return to.

I love Fred Meyers because they are the only place that carries POG (Pineapple Orange Guava) juice. Btw, try to mix POG juice w/ champagne, you'll get a delish mimosa! They have a good selection and great quality on their produce, meat and cheese! I love their fresh fruit pies and tres leches cake, a life save headache when somebody invite me to a party. On the top of that I can drop off my kid for an hour at their Freddy's Playland for free! They added on a Starbucks Coffee Shop not long ago. What not to love? I'll definitely be back!

Fresh produce

This is a great all in one store. The clothing selection is quite good, there are a variety of electronics you can buy, there are hardware supplies, they have a garden section, the food is good, and their deli and pastries have a huge selection. If you're looking for one slice of cake you can get it here, which is nice when you just want something for yourself. The prices are reasonable for clothing and other items. The groceries are more expensive than places like Winco and Walmart, but not unreasonable. In addition you get a larger selection of specialty items you can't find everywhere. I'd rate the service standard. Employees are always helpful when you ask for help, and they just don't look as burnt out as people at Walmart (not sure if that's just in my head or not). You won't regret choosing this store for whatever you need.

our gorgeous sectional and pillows from fred meyer- the quality is incredible!

Due to great customer service this place is a Walmart killer. Prices are higher here but the service wins out in my book.

I've accepted the fact that you have to bag your own groceries here but sometimes it can feel more like a chore because your racing to bag it super fast when you've got people coming up behind you. Anyway one thing I've noticed.. they don't carry zyn or any nicotine pouches. I've come in here recently for more items that are not obscure items and most stores carry them so I was surprised winco didnt. The good. They've got a lot of bulk items, wide aisles, plenty of parking and very clean bathrooms. The not so good... everyone working here seems genuinely unhappy and depressed. People are completely zoned out. Produce is not very fresh. I stopped shopping at Walmart because their produce is so dismal and often spoiled. I could not find any good russet potatoes while I was here. I hate their coupon system. You've got to click on an obscure icon on the pin pad and then be 100% sure your coupon matches because once you clip it on the app you can't go back and see it.

We were so thrilled to wander in here and see how ample the options were for us. Some highlights: The food court foods were CLEAN, limited ingredient, and there was a large variety. We ordered a whole pizza to go and enjoyed it guilt free for dinner as there dough and everything in it was seed oil free, and free of other ingredients we avoid. The bakery was filled with fresh gluten free options and sweets, it was a dream for me! They also carry a number of products from local small businesses which was a pleasant surprise. Prices were reasonable in comparison to what you can expect to pay in other places for high quality foods. We will 100% be back here next time we're in the area and highly recommend checking the co-op out if you're in the area.

I knew Natural Grocers when they were Vitamin Cottage. If you visit, you can faintly see the…read moreVitamin Cottage logo to the left of the Natural Grocers sign on the outside. Natural Grocers was the OG. Before Whole Foods, Sprouts, and before the Boise Cooperative, it was Natural Grocers. It's a great story, look it up and read about Margaret and Phillip Islely, their $200 bucks, and their dream. I've visited several times, and while it may still have a following, it gets lost in the ever-expanding sections of your traditional grocers. It wasn't long ago, that you would NOT see vegan cheese in the cheese aisle, or plant-based meats in the meat section, but now they are there, whether it's something you eat or not. The vegetable and fruit section is smaller than the Co-Op at the Village but sometimes it's good to have a second chance. The vitamin section as well as the community hang-out section to the right when you walk in should not be missed. One thing that often gets missed is that some shoppers see these grocers as vegan or vegetarian. While it's true that they stock vegan and vegetarian items, they also have organic meats and meat products. If you're looking for organic, grass-fed meats and such, check out Natural Grocers TIP1: Check out their website as it has a bountiful amount of information about Sustainability, Deals, Recipes, Events, and more. Natural Grocers is located on Milwaukee in Boise, across from the Home Depot, and is open most nights until 8:30 pm excluding Sundays.

Going to any Grocery Outlet is like a scavenger hunt. What you saw there last time, may not be…read morethere the next. I was on the hunt for some FieldRoast Vegan breakfast sandwiches. They're pretty good when I am lazy to make breakfast. I did purchase the last three at my usual Grocery Outlet in Meridian at Crossroads. I walked into this location and it always feels fancier compared to the other locations. I'm not able to articulate it in words but it just does. While I didn't find the breakfast sandwiches, I did find some vegan flatbreads which I have not seen before and at less than four bucks each, it was a find, so I bought the last two to stash for a lazy day. As for service, Mindy was very pleasant and funny. We chatted about how I was cheating on my usual location and Meg over there usually serves me. Mindy says, 'Its our secret' It was a funny moment. In retail, even a small chuckle, is worth a million bucks. Thanks Grocery Outlet for the finds, and I will stay focused on the hunt each and every time.

I didn't have time to see the entire store, but I did have time to come through several sections of the store in depth. Here's what I found: 1. The Boise GO on Fairview has a better frozen section. They have a bigger variety and more interesting items. 2. The Bread section of the Meridian and Boise GO are similar, but the Boise GO on Fairview has bread from Zeppole. 3. The Boise GO on Fairview has a bigger selection of Taylor Farms than the Meridian GO. 4. The Boise GO on Fairview has a bigger and better selection of Eggs, Butter & Cheese. 5. The Boise GO on Fairview appears to be a bigger store, which would explain why they have more variety in some sections. The Meridian GO appears similar in size to the Boise GO on Overland. I still need a bit more time to go through the Meridian GO, but so far, I prefer the Boise GO on Fairview. The Meridian GO is better than the Boise GO on Overland.
