I think Fresh Plus is the perfect neighborhood grocery store. Yes, items may be more expensive but that's what happens when you're not a huge corporation... It would be nice to see more local goods there though. read more

Really awesome staff at the store on west lynn.There are a few people who have turned my day around with a helpful attitude and a smile.I am taking note of this because Austin is changing so fast and stores like this are getting harder to find. Yes the cheese prices are insane at this store and the parking lot can be hell but it is so worth it. read more

This place is awesome. I'm visiting from the north east and just expected the same level of service. I was pleasantly surprised. Everyone was super helpful and super friendly. Answered every question I had and did it happily. FANTASTIC selection of organic and vegan/vegetarian options. And surprisingly prices are not higher just because it's a local shop. So happy we could walk here and happy to support local businesses. All in all would absolutely recommend. 10 out of 10 from me! read more

I live in the area and shop at Fresh Plus often. It's great for dry goods and other basics. The reason for my two star review today is that I purchased some stuffed chicken breasts from their meat counter yesterday. When I unwrapped them at home they smelled awful! I mean really, really bad. Some of their "fresh" food is not always fresh! Also, Fresh Plus, you should put a contact email on your website. read more

Fresh Plus has ruined me for the rest of my life. I will never again live in a neighborhood where I cannot walk to a locally-owned grocery store. Sure it's a dollar more but my life is markedly better because of Fresh Plus. And thanks for the extended hours! read more

I love this place. From the sweet workers to the little bit of everything they offer in such a tiny place, in my mind it couldn't get any better. They not only have a great beer and wine selection, they also offer vegetarian and/or organic foods too! I often pop in for lunch at the deli and everything is super yummy...especially the tuna salad. Stop in and browse, it's fun to see what new things they've brought in. read more

I just freakin love this place. I've never had to wait in line for more than a minute or two, the cashiers and staff are always friendly and they have a surprisingly great selection. I only eat organic and am pretty particular about brands I buy but I can almost always find my last minute needs here. Oh and the parking is never ever a hassle. Love you forever Fresh Plus. read more

four stars is probably too high. three stars is probably too low. i do love this place, so i'm erring on the high side. i've lived in the hood for about 10 years, and go in no less than once a week. usually more. so on the short side, that's 500 visits. it's about time i wrote a review. yes, the staff is young. yes, the prices are higher than HEB. but you can get in and out in 60 seconds if you know what you want and where it is. as lisa said, parking is right by the door. i have to add that while nicole states they don't have organics... they do sometimes. and for just somethings. most often local organic lettuce. they do a fine job of carrying & labeling what's local. the sammiches at the deli in the back are solid. not awe inspiring, but solid. soup is pretty ok. they have a thai noodle salad that rocks. it's not always there, but it's always good when it is. but what really sells me on this joint is the smoked meat section. it's back in the back corner. by the non-smoked meats. the meats they smoke vary. there are usually some chicken parts, sausages, and pork cuts. all smoked. all delicious. sometimes, they even have turkey breast. for real turkey breast. not the pressed, formed, lunch meat kind - on the bone, with the skin. fo' real. ok, maybe it's the meat that didn't sell and then they smoke it and try to sell it again... who knows? i don't. and i don't care. it's freakin good. and it's cheap. you can get some nice smoked pork ribs. reheat in your oven at home = delicious bbq dinner. and the smoked chicken thighs! i think they're around 50 cents each. you can eat 'em like they are or give your burritos that little extra pa-ziz-ow. the do have a decent wine selection and enough mexican beer to keep me happy. (they are never out of tecate or limes) an old friend worked there a loooong time ago and she called it "fresh plus a few days" so yeah, check your expiration dates and you should be ok. read more

I wish I had a place like this in my neighborhood. Organic food. Small without dealing with the size of HEB, Whole Foods, Central Market. It's a neighborhood grocery store/convenient store which was convenient for me and my friend when we shopped for some food when we were in a hurry to go to her place and watch the NFL Draft. I noticed though the doors were not the sliding doors which can be problematic for people with carts. That neighborhood should consider themselves lucky for having a cool grocery store that is locally owned. read more

Fresh Plus is a neat little neighborhood grocery store in Clarksville. Yes, a lot of the stuff here is expensive, more so than at HEB, Randall's, or even WFM and CM, but this is a local business, so I try to support it. They do have some good prepared foods, like their breakfast tacos for 99-cents, and their really good coffee, which is either 69-cents for a small or a whopping 99-cents for a large, and this is really good coffee! My favorite, though, has to be the chocolate cake. I think it's called Jan's homemade chocolate cake, or something like that. Make sure you don't buy the Hershey's one. Anyway, they sell it by the pound, already prepacked in those little boxy plastic containers. Take a look at the label. You can actually pronounce the names of the ingredients, like flour, chocolate, cream, sugar. Earlier this year during the Spring, I was obsessed with this cake, to the point where I had to have it everyday. It's so delicious, simple, and harkens back to a bygone era of simple pleasures being found in the simplest of things. When they have sales on certain products, and you combine it with coupons, you can score deals. For the most part, though, I've just usually bought breakfast and the chocolate cake. I've also gotten the occasional emergency onion or bulb of garlic for something I'm cooking....super convenient since I live only a few blocks away. Most of the people who work here seem to like it, and for the most part, they're friendly and courteous. That's always a huge plus for me. My favorite things: $0.69 or $0.99 for small/large coffee (good coffee) $0.99 for breakfast taco (egg/bacon/cheese, or some other combo) Homemade Chocolate Cake: totally worth ruining your diet for read more

So convenient! The best option for downtown dwellers who don't want to fight the crowd at Whole Foods or drive all the to HEB or get crappy overpriced food at Randall's. I often go early evening to pick up missing ingredients for dinner. The parking is close to the door, the store is small-sih and the quality of produce and meat is on target for this type of grocery. read more

2 stars because it's a grocery store and they generally have what you're looking for, even though it's WAY overpriced. -3 stars because they're assholes. Tonight i had the luxury of sitting in my car while my wife ran in one minute until closing to grab a couple bottles of wine. She had no idea the looks and shit talk she was getting behind her back. I, however, saw it all. Time she walked out: 9:04. There are just way too many choices for the attitude. Fresh Plus, you lost me. I'll NEVER go back. read more

Quintessentially Clarksville. It's a tiny place stuffed with really good people, and everything/everyone is somewhat healthy. The wine section is small when compared to a large chain grocer, but what they got is actually pretty good stuff! I may more often be willing to pay for the glass on Wrongo Dongo or Lucien Albrecht at Wink (down the street) but if so inclined I can get the bottles for about $6 and $23 respectively here. Since I refuse to own a car, all of my staple items come from this place, even light bulbs! The zucchini is far too overpriced (when something is almost double that of Whole Foods, there's a slight problem in my book) but heck, it's next door, and I just ran out - so why not? It's pretty much everything you'd go to Whole Foods/Central Market for, without the extra options. Prepared foods (fresh soups, hummus, sandwiches), organic groceries, overpriced sauces, and even coffee beans. It's really got the best of everything you need, and yes, this place carries Sofia (champagne in a can, though sadly, only in the 4-packs and not ready-to-go chilled, individual) (cough, cough - hint, hint) The staff is adorable, I'm always thinking one of the following three things in there: "Wow! She's so cute, I want a shirt like hers!" "Wow! He's so cute, I want to put my number on the back of this receipt!" "Wow! That's so cute, you people are actually offering to carry out my one little grocery bag containing a wine bottle and an onion?" Friendliest of the neighborhood places, definitely a favorite if you live close by. read more

I have now tried the in-house smoked salmon and it is amazing. I got some smoked chicken and made chicken salad and it was great. Thinking about it for lunch, now that I just typed that. Yum. They also have smoked hamburgers, steaks, sausages, chicken and turkey read more

I wish there was a grocery store like this in my neighborhood. I've known about this location for ages but only today had occasion to stop by for a few things, after hanging out at Cafe Medici. They had everything I needed and more than I expected. It's got the great vibe of an old-school independent grocery but is as organized and squeaky-clean as a big chain store. Not so stuck-up they only carry specialty brands, nor so pedestrian that you have to make do for the sake of convenience. The super-friendly checkout gal made me feel like a regular. If things cost a wee bit extra, it's a small price to avoid the mega-store hassle. Five stars, baby! read more

Their deli is great. I'm a regular of the prepared foods, they have really good sandwiches, i always get their chicken salad sandwhich and they also have yummy "southwest egg rolls" that are more like mini bean burritos. The people who work there are so nice too. The groceries themselves are pricey though, but it's to be expected at a mom and pop joint. and so worth it if you don't want to fight traffic to get to a big box store read more

Love how convenient this place is! It's the best wine/beer selection you could possibly ask for from a neighborhood grocer. They also have a decent variety of organic products which is a bonus. Plus, the staff are always super chill & friendly. Can't go wrong shopping here! read more

This is my neighborhood store, and I love it. They grind their meat fresh daily, and I can attest that it just plain tastes better than what you find at large grocery chains. In fact, I only buy beef from Fresh Plus now. They carry my fave brand of local hummus, as well as a good selection of produce for a small store. Some of the prices are higher, but its way more convenient than the large chains! the staff is always nice and helpful. read more

fresh plus provides everything i could possibly want: its three blocks from my place, more than 50% of the liquids in the store is alcoholic, and they have really good prepared foods. the beer is selection is really pretty good for a store of its size. it almost always carries all of the various shiners and it has a nice selection of super-sized exotic beers, like chimay and duvel (unfortunately no gulden draak or delirium nocturnum). im a big fan of the prepared foods. its like home-cooking, except i just bought it at a store. their macaroni salad used to be the shit, but lately its just been above average. but their enchiladas, lasagna, and jambalaya are consistently really good. the hours aren't as great as other places, i think they close at 9pm most nights. but thats probably just the reality of a smaller local grocery store. considering the few downsides to this otherwise quaint store, i'd probably rate fresh plus 4stars. but they get the extra star because shopping there makes me feel like less of a douchebag than at whole foods. read more

Much better quality meat selection than the bigger chains (except whole foods and central market). Stuff is a little overpriced in general but you have to expect that from a neighborhood establishment. Beer is competitively priced (cheaper than the aforementioned chains). Good deli with some really good sandwiches (if they're made by the right guy). And the lines are rarely long, which is not often the case at other places. read more

I'm loving the produce section and Fresh Plus more and more. I find it tends to be cheaper than HEB, and more often grown in the USA. I'm all for supporting my Mexican brothers south of the border, but It's still important to support those products that are still hecho en estados unidos. read more

THIS Fresh Plus (not all locations are created equal) is the epitome of what grocery stores should be and use to be. I miss my daily trips to the store. The sandwiches are HUGE and to die for, not to mention totally affordable. I salivate thinking about the deli counter options. Sigh... if only they were everywhere. read more

We always go to Fresh Plus when we need a few things and don't want to go to one of the big stores. (We never really want to go to the big stores but sometimes it's necessary for bulk items.) Fresh Plus always has a great selection of food. They were the only ones in town that used to supply my husband's favorite pizza. (Please bring the Healthy Choice French Bread Pizza back!) I always get the bowtie pasta with pesto and smoked chicken and fresh veggies, and they taste absolutely amazing. The cakes are super delicious too. You could never get anything at the HEB deli cases that even remotely matches the quality of Fresh Plus' deli food. What's the big deal about the so-called hipsters? Give these people a chance and stop judging them based on what they're wearing. The people who work here are very nice and I've never encountered any attitude. Once, my husband's debit card wouldn't work and he didn't have cash. Instead of making him put the groceries back (it was just a few items), the checker said he could just take it and pay the store back another time. My husband did eventually pay them back. They also almost always ask how things are going and offer to carry our groceries out to our car. I'd much rather come here, get in and out fast with some yummy food, and probably hear some good music over the store's intercom radio then search for parking and battle the crowds at HEB. read more

Great place the pre made food is just as good as whole food but half the price. I eat there a few times a week.

This is the best market in Austin. It has whole milk that is low pasturized, meaning the milk has cream on the top. They have a special handlers license to carry this product. Its from a local farm, OUT OF THIS WORLD!!!! read more

This grocery store is fantastic!!! Don't let it's size fool you, this place has really great products and could go head to head with whole foods in most categories. My favorite thing about this place is the deli! The lunch special is a great deal (sandwich, soup, and a massive lemonade for about $6 or $7) If you go when there's gumbo do not pass up on it! And if you have a choice, ask Stevie to make your sandwich - he is the man! Love everything about this place! read more

This is the perfect place to find affordable basics, chef classics, and tons of beer/wine selections. Despite the small building, they fill the shelves with everything you could need. Wonderful staff as well! read more

Irene was the best! She was very nice and helpful. It has the best fresh produce. They have a nice selection of wine and the best Hummas in town! read more

Always fresh produce and meat. Great prices. The staff is always so friendly. I enjoy shopping at a local spot that's small enough that I don't get lost in the isles. Also, great beer selection. read more

Fresh Plus is quite possibly the best little Grocery store in Austin TX. THe Meat Department and Deli are quite solid(best steaks in town) And the produce department alwawys carries local and organic foods a reasonable prices. They have the best prices on gallons of milk and Kombuchas. Not to mention there is never a long line. read more

I go to Fresh Plus all the time (and I mean all the time- morning, noon, and night) and usually have a good experience. The produce is fresh, they have a wide variety of cheeses, the wine and craft beer selection is outstanding, and the deli is spectacular. What really makes it into an experience rather than just an errand is the cashiers. For the most part, they are incredible! I'm a regular, so I've gotten to know them a bit. Jesus is always so friendly and helpful, and Rain always makes my day by genuinely caring about the customers. That laugh, and always dancing! I never have a bad day when I see Rain! Aubrey is so sweet and kind, and I see all of these cashiers doing so much; they are running around the store doing all sorts of chores, answering the phone, and dealing with unruly customers. Honestly, I doubt they're making enough to even sustain themselves, and that's why I'm giving 4 stars instead of 5. Note to the managers, give these awesome folks a raise, or they'll all leave for greener pastures and myself and all of the other regulars I know will be sad! If you're in Clarksville, definitely check out Fresh Plus, say hi to Rain and Jesus and Aubrey and all of the others, and grab you some of those darn good deli sandwiches! read more

For the most part Fresh Plus is rad. I love the location and the employees. I do not like the prices on crackers. I do like the thick fresh cut slices of bacon. I do like the big green "great deal" tags they put on stuff that's cheaper than the other things in it's class. It's mostly awesome, but sometimes the prices are a bit much. read more

Fresh Plus goes up and down over time, so it's hard to rely on reviews unless they are less than a month old. It is always a good neighborhood grocery store where you can get what you need without the hassle of large stores. The prices are consistently higher than Central Market (my main large grocery store) on absolutely everything -- but you can run in and get out in just a few minutes. The staff have always been extremely nice and helpful to me over the past 20 years, even though the people change. Always check the expiration dates on stuff here, since turnover is not as rapid as in the larger stores, and I have often picked up things that are past the "best by" date. read more

I'll keep it short and simple...though the prices are a little higher than other places...it is pretty average for the smaller more organic and rare finds kind of stores. The other grocery stores in the neighborhood are both Randalls (we call them Vandals) - yuck....I love the staff, I always find new fun and yummy products. I will continue to shop here and definitely recommend this place. read more

Exceptionally low standard of customer service. The clerk and night manager refused to give me sale price on small item that was prominently displayed as on sale; the sign was still up although the sale was over. I wrote to manager asking for apology but got no response. I had been a customer for 35 years but no more. read more

ps Some of the checkers may wear sunglasses, or other attire that makes them feel like a real human being and not a number, but they are just having some fun to make the standing on your feet all day bearable, and they may be quiet at times, but they do care, (perhaps they are thinking about something perplexing, or nuclear physics).. and one humorless customer does not a random sampling of otherwise happy shoppers make. So ignore her. This is a great store for people with dementia or other memory issues (from the 60's) read more

Always a great in-and-out! No hassle in the parking lot and a very adaquate selection of groceries. Don't miss out on the chocolate chip cookies in the deli area... Some days they are more salty than others... yummy.. read more

For convenience this store gets 5 stars. Tonight was my third experience where I had to return an item I purchased. Tonight I bought cherry tomatoes and learned when I got home there was mold all over them. The two times before consisted of deli meat that smelt like feet and cheese that was spoiled. If you are looking for prepackaged foods or cleaning supplies this store is perfect for you! read more

Incredibly convenient for those who call Clarksville or Tarrytown home. Very fresh produce, friendly staff, quick service, good selection for a smaller grocery store. read more

For five years I would make an almost daily pilgrimage to the deli counter for wonderful, consistently fresh and good food. I moved recently and lament the loss of seeing the wonderful staff and enjoying Jan's chocolate cake. The soup is freshly made and always delicious. Try a sandwich, soup and tea combo, great deal! read more
