Recently came here to grab some food and drinks in the middle of the day for lunch and it was a great stop. They had great chili soup. My favorite energy drinks to help me get through the day. Store was clean, well organized and had plenty of parking. It's in a busy lot though none the less. Checking out virtually had no lines either. Overall, solid location worth checking out. read more

This place is terrible!! First time and last time I'll ever shop here!! Milk expired after 3 days. 4$ for some expired milk. read more

Fresh Thyme Market - Expired after 3 days of buying it! Bullshit just bullshit. 4$ for some expired milk! Count your days you dickwads - Farmers Market Near Me - Cincinnati, Ohio

I love this store. I'm always amazed at how many new products they carry. I was there yesterday and one of the workers was so kind and helped me find exactly what I needed. read more

I really love Fresh Thyme. I always find things I don't often see elsewhere, and they have take-and-heat meals now as well. Also, there are CBD drinks, which is wonderful as someone with anxiety. The produce is always fresh and staff is very friendly. Give it a try if you've never been! read more

I came in here as I was in the area with my BFF and we stopped in to check the store out. It reminds me a lot of Fresh Market, similar pricing set up similar, but they have a larger selection of Meats and frozen food items. The set up was easy to navigate and had lots of different items, and enough different things from other stores to make a trip worth it. Now don't get me wrong I am not going to drive 25 minutes over here to shop vice going to my local (8 minute drive) store. But if I were in the area I would stop in. I liked the Balsamic Vinegar station, they also had a honey station that was similar. The wine selection was good and the person working the area was very knowledgeable and they offer once a month wine/food tasting/pairing, it didn't sound like it was on a set day but still worth going. Just to recap, worth the visit YES. Need I say more? read more

Fresh Thyme Market - Balsamic vinegar - Farmers Market Near Me - Cincinnati, Ohio

I used to come to Fresh Thyme more often when they offered more organic choices, however they have never carried wild fish. I will still come to get other fresh items like juice and I love that you can get olive oil and balsamic vinegar in bulk (in as little or as much as you want fresh). Only one line was open and a lot of people were there "working" standing around while there was a long line. There were other employees unpacking and putting stuff on shelves so I'd think they just got a delivery and that's why no one was able to help check people out. read more

Stopped in early over Thanksgiving holiday weekend. Purchased hotdog buns, hotdogs, and sausages. Hot dog buns had mold on them. Hotdogs were expired. read more

Dear Fresh Thyme, I was so happy to have found you amidst my fiscally irresponsible relationship with your competition. You were a breath of fresh herb, gleaming with your gorgeous produce and organic meat selections. You cared for me so well for the first few months of our courtship, and I broke it off with all the other guys. I thought I had found "the one." But, you've changed. You have so little to give anymore with your constantly empty, out of stock shelves and slow as molasses employees. Your fickle nature with your product inventory makes completing a recipe nearly impossible. I find myself having to fight back tears as I'm forced to cheat on you and spend more and more time with your cousin across the street, just to be satisfied. And now, after all we've been through, you've abandoned me at the checkout as well, leaving me to bag my own groceries while my wallet takes a beating that suggests my groceries should be wrapped in gold plating. If things don't go back to the way we were, it'll be difficult, but I will move on. You're breaking my heart. With hope and sadness, Heather read more

Fresh Thyme is a bright, cheery place with a wide selection of local, organic, and the like items. The space is not huge, so you can actually see most of the store as you enter, allowing you to quickly orient yourself. The deli and bakery are near each other on the right, which makes for a lot of great smells as you enter. At my visit, a Boarshead representative was on hand providing samples of their meats and cheeses near the deli. It was also neat to see that the hot case held not only rotisserie chicken, but also hot turkey pieces. Another nice touch is that in the bakery section, there is a large freezer case which carries options like vegan and gluten free breads and desserts. The rest of the store covers all the bases one might expect - produce, canned and boxed goods, a large freezer case, and more. There are flowers along the front. While the selection might not be as vast as it is at some of the larger grocery stores, there were some items one couldn't find elsewhere. Nearby parking was at a premium on my visit, so it looks like a lot of folks are checking it out. read more

Conjure a mix of Trader Joe's, Whole Foods (without the Whole Paycheck pricing), your local bulk foods purveyor, and just a little Kroger/Ralph's/Wegman's sprinkled into the aisles, and voila!, you have the grocery store of the future, today. Just visited for the first time yesterday with wife, and the experience was amaze-balls. Size is perfect, approximately triple the size of Trader's and a quarter the size of your typical Kroger. You can walk from front to back, and side to side, in about 10 seconds each direction. Fresh butcher-prepared sausages, poultry main dishes (herbed/spiced/marinated, etc.), fresh bakery, lotsa bulk grains, cereals, nuts etc., in those über-cool tube dispensers. Fresh Thyme Farmers Market is a little bit of this and a little bit of that from best practices of aforementioned big boys. Bonus Points: The vast majority of employees are literally looking to help you, and are eager to stop you right in the aisle and ask if you need assistance with finding anything. And they do it with a smile, as though they're happy to be working. What a novel attitude. We just found our new go-to grocery store. Prices are reasonable to downright surprisingly cheap. Winner. read more

After reading some reviews, I feel dismayed!! Wake up people.... Trader Joe's junk is sister to Aldi (crap from overseas) and Whole Foods, well, read what has been said about that "chain" lately! This store offers "seasonal produce from LOCAL farms" and it's wonderful and very reasonably priced......geez! So glad I stopped in to find something for lunch.... clean and easy to navigate the store.....very reasonable prices and delicious food gathered here! Dolma on the olive bar was the best I've ever had (typically I don't care for it, but this was wonderful)! For lunch I purchased 2 Jalapeno & Cheddar Oven baked muffins ($2.49)....super fresh and scrumptious, I could only eat one! I also purchased two ripe, juicy plums and before i hit the door, a dozen Oatmeal & Cranberry cookies for $1.99! So, for about $5. I had more than enough fresh, local food for 2 days lunch! I will definitely come back when I'm in the neighborhood! I live in Union Township, wish there was a location here too! I would have dined at the outdoor seating provided, but I was in a hurry! read more

I love shopping here. They have two categories that are always reasonably priced: produce and bulk. My husband and I always walk away paying less than I expect. I think that is because this place is actually where to purchase whole foods, as opposed to processed foods. The produce stays fresh for a long time, the prices are more than fair, and I love experimenting with different foods from the bulk food bins to spruce up my oatmeal or use as unique popcorn toppings. Also, the workers are always helpful and in a good mood, which I think tells you a lot about the work environment. Additionally, while they are never so empty you feel bad for them, Fresh Thyme is also never so packed you feel claustrophobic (like TJs or Krogers on a weekend)... For processed foods, we generally stick to Kroger, Meijer, or Trader Joes, but for fresh fruit and veg, and grains, we go to Fresh Thyme. read more

So excited to have a less expensive version of Whole Foods! Woo hoo! This place has great prices, super friendly staff and a great selection- including a bulk foods section. They even make their own chicken sausage in house and there are tons of flavors to choose from. You won't be disappointed here- skip Whole Paycheck and come to Fresh Thyme! read more

I definitely found my new favorite grocery store and ever since coming here, I have not been to any other store. They have all of the brands and products that I previously would go to Whole Foods, Fresh Market and Trader Joe's, but this store has everything I want all in one place! This store has a wide variety of products that are geared more towards those who are health conscious, meaning that you won't be finding Pringle's in this store but you will find anything and everything that is good for you and delicious! I was very impressed by their vegan and vegetarian options with them having a wide variety of dairy free milks, cheeses, yogurts and ice creams from brands that I have seen online but unfortunately have not been able to find in the area. Additionally, they have many more vegan/vegetarian meat options than any of the health grocery stores I have been to in the area. They have so much variety that allows for you to be able to try stuff from different cuisines and diet types and the best part? It is nowhere near as expensive as any of the other places I have been! It is essentially cheaper than Trader Joe's for the experience of a Whole Foods or Fresh Market. The store is bright and pleasant to walk around and shop but structured in a way where you can go in and get what you want and leave quickly. They also have a wide variety of supplements, cleaners, protein powders, makeup, skincare and pretty much anything you would need for the house or yourself. I have great nail polish remover and toothpaste from there and I know it is a lot better for me than something I would get at Target. Of course, still do your own research into the products you buy, but I have not seen any brands that I know off the top of my head that struck me as weird. Their produce section is among the most impressive parts about the store. I have been getting my produce from Imperfect Foods for my weekly staples, but whenever I ran out of anything or there is something that Imperfect Foods didn't have or I didn't want to buy from there, I always go over to Fresh Thyme for how beautiful and well priced their produce is. Highly highly recommend coming to this wonderful health conscious and environmentally conscious grocery store! read more

I was less than impressed. Fresh Thyme seems to be following a tired model, doing what Whole Foods, Fresh Market, Trader Joe's, and Dorothy Lane already do. There's an off-putting smell (combination of vitamin supplements and the scented patchouli candles they sell). I'm just over manufactured "charm" in a chain store. I'm certainly over high prices for stuff that's mass produced but packaged as if it's funky and fun. Am I tired and bored, or is this outfit just too late to the hip grocery store trend? These aren't, say, home-grown tomatoes and green beans (which would be worth the price) just overpriced produce shipped from California and Mexico (organic, yay! Was the semi it came in "green?"). To me, it doesn't seem like more fun to be parted from my money here than anywhere else. And it's not as if, by going here instead of Kroger, you're supporting a small business. It's a chain! What am I missing? read more

I love having this option for healthy, natural foods. Whole Foods is obviously more expensive, and does carry some things that Fresh Thyme doesn't. But in general, this is a great way to score great prices on fresh produce and bulk foods. I love making my own cashew or almond butter here, and it's pretty affordable compared to alternative ways of buying it. I'm able to find specialty items (for paleo) like ghee, coconut aminos, coconut . True, they do have conventional stuff at a lower price point, and the organic/grass fed stuff is still expensive, but I still do think there are many items you can get here more affordably compared to Whole Foods. In any case, this place is worth checking out! read more

This place just SMELLS FANTASTIC!!! You walk over to the produce section and you're hit with the scent of apples before you're even really there. Their milk tastes better than any other brand I've ever had either; the 2% is very flavorful and creamy. A little more expensive than the Kroger across the street, but overall, it seems to be worth it for the better taste and selection. read more

Love this store Produce is very fresh. We ordered custom sandwiches and the staff behind the counter were lovely. Very attentive and thorough We come here in every trip to Cincinnati to stick up for our weekend. Wish we had one near us! read more

My wife got really bad food poisoning from the salad bar. I called and spoke with a supervisor to let her know so nobody else would get sick. She asked for my info and never called back. read more

I am glad to have this store relatively close to where I live. It's closer than Whole Foods and Trader Joe's. I bought some fresh chicken sausages here that were delicious grilled and got rave reviews from my family. Also bought some unseasoned bread cubes in the bakery dept. for Thanksgiving for $1.99 a bag. Great deal and much better for you than the pre-packaged kind. They also have a small but nice assortment of fresh fish. Bought some snapper and it was very fresh and delicious. Plus, the fish monger was very nice and helpful. Their seafood department looks much fresher than Kroger's. If I'm in the mood for fish, this will be my store to go to in my neighborhood. read more

I'm not fond of Whole Foods. Pretentious, really expensive, and checking out is a nightmare!! I tend to have a much better experience at Fresh Thyme. They have a deli case, they offer normal and organic produce at much more reasonable prices, and I like their organic milk (which is still expensive). It's very clean and the employees are helpful and polite. It's a regular addition to my grocery experience. read more

Fantastic specialty grocery!! Huge produce section with an attractive presentation and interesting selection, Tempting and fresh meat and seafood case, and an impressive mix of cheeses, deli, bakery, grocery, frozen foods and bulk foods - including many grains and rices, which was different to see. Also, nice wine and beer section. The quality reminds of Fresh Market or Whole Foods and the selection is in between those two. The prices seemed more reasonable. And the layout is more open and easy to navigate - reminded me of an independent grocery - a little old school. Wish this was my closest grocery, because it has just the right mix of natural, healthy, gourmet, and specialty items. read more

Updated review with one star less. Over the past months I have found the Produce at fresh thyme lacking and not being properly stored. More than once I have brought home produce that I found to be rotten once I cut it up. Something that happens when produce isn't properly stored. Looks like the Meijer quality standards are being adopted by their sister company. Disappointing. read more

After eagerly awaiting its arrival, I am deeply disappointed by the cheap knock off of Wild Oats. Most of the groceries are carried by Kroger across the street and cheaper too. . The"Cheese dept." is a small sad little island of cryovac cheese. . The cashier asked me if I found everything I was looking for. I said no and she never said another word. Why even ask? They have Traderspoint Creamery yogurt, but not their milk. I looked for a customer service station to ask that they carry the milk, but this chain doesn't have one, which tells you how much they value that. The managers look like they are still in high school and are simply there for a paycheck. Whole Foods has absolutely nothing to worry about. read more

As far as quality and price of fruits and vegetables? This is your place to shop! However! The people skills the cashiers have is poor! So impatient and look treat you different depending on how you're looking that day! Jeez! I couldn't get my app to work and the cashier had such an attitude and kept telling me about my coupon, then the one next to her turned and explained it to me at a slower pace acting as if I was slow. This is why I don't frequent this place. Oh, WiFi is horrible! read more

the sushi is always amazing from here, i drive 40 minutes just to get some fairly priced AMAZING sushi. workers are super nice. i tried some of the juices and theyre amazing. i wish they would bring back the frozen mochi though. :( my only complaint is the missing mochi. read more

Awesome place for a quick lunch sandwich especially if you work in the area. Patrick hooked me up and now I'm enjoying this amazing sandwich. I'll be back soon and often. For sure. read more

Decided to stop by while we were in the area. We didn't buy much, but some dried fruits and other foods at the trail mix section. Going through though it had some great bakery products and fresh produce at good prices. I was actually shocked by some of the prices for being the type of store that it is. I was pleasantly happy with Fresh Thyme and plan on going back soon. read more

A lot of people compare Fresh Thyme to Whole Foods but really the two are not the same. Fresh Thyme has a lot of conventional choices, especially candies and junk in their bulk section. The meats are low priced because they are not raised on organic feed, nor are they treated humanely. The conventional chicken is truly horrible, much like the Kroger Heritage Brand, so of course it is cheap. They carry little in the way of organic/humanely raised animal products. Pricing for organics are basically the same as whole foods and Kroger. (Best prices on organics are at Trader Joe's and Costco.) I do shop their sales and Wednesday double specials when you can buy both the previous week's advertised specials and the current week's specials. If you comparison shop you also can buy specials at Kroger and Whole Foods to round out your organic produce, and humanly produced meats, eggs and dairy. Because of it's convenient location I do buy Snowville Milk and pastured eggs there, essential oils and supplements. Basically a good store to add to your shopping if you're not into a one stop shop. read more

For a small store,Fresh Thyme has offer quality products. My family and I have been there multiple times, and the selections are awesome. My mom and I particularly like the chocolate covered gummy bears. Sure they are weird combo, but they are good. read more

Nice selection of produce. Definately not as flashy as Kroger and less organic than Whole Foods. Groceries are moderately priced and quality is nice. Employees are helpful in finding items and seem to go out of their way to help. read more

If I lived closer I would shop here more often. The produce looks great, but I've found if I do not use it within the first 2 days, everything goes bad. I love that I can find my favorite immune support supplement here, and I can never resist the salt water taffy. read more

Kind of like a Whole Foods with similar types of products and similar pricing. Their produce is better than Kroger, but not as good as WF and they don't have as large a selection of organic produce. I am not sure that it will ever replace Whole Foods as my go to organic and natural foods grocery, but I will definitely be shopping here more often as it is close to home. read more

Better than whole foods and fresh market combined. Always great variety of gluten free delicatessen,fresh fruit and ready made sandwiches to enjoy for quick bite. I drive 40 minutes at least once a month to this store. read more

Very nice store. It reminds me of Lucky's Market in Ft. Lauderdale, which I miss very much---the store AND the city.

This was my first time shopping here--went in to check it out and was initially impressed. Prices are much higher than Kroger across the street. My disappointment comes from the quality of the produce. I bought a head of lettuce and a pint of grape tomatoes. Both looked great in the store but when I got them home the lettuce had brown leaves all the way through and the tomatoes were soft and squishy, I expected much better. I'll be back shopping at Kroger and Pipkin's in Blue Ash. Better prices; better quality produce. read more

this store is amazing!! the bulk selection is fantastic and the customer service was great. the cheese i bought (smoked gouda) is some of the best i've ever had and their spice selection is great. i'm excited to go back and try more new things! read more

Fresh Thyme has a good selection of vegan and organic options. I am disappointed by customer service though. I have spent thousands of dollars in this store and have had to bag my own groceries because they are always so short-staffed. No very customer service oriented and rarely see the same staff in the store. Also, often I have noticed "beyond expiration" dates on produce. So be very careful to look for expiration dates before you buy. read more

I received superb service and expert advice about quality vitamins & healthy tips from Tammy at Fresh Thyme Farmers Market on Montgomery Rd in Cincinnati OH store!! Also awesome friendly check-out service! read more

The green produce is always old and wilty. I have to make an extra stop at Kroger for those, and sometimes I just choose to shop at Kroger for everything due to inconvenience. read more
