I can find great deals on fresh fruit and vegetables at Fresh Thyme. I also like to purchase their frozen seafood. This location is never crowded as the staff is friendly.

I went to the gym and needed to pick up some groceries, so decided to stop in Fresh Thyme. This is a very nice grocery store, and quite different from Whole Foods Market and Kroger. Fresh Thyme is designed for the healthy lifestyle and people who want to do healthy eating. They have plenty of choices for healthy foods and the produce/fruit was very fresh. I picked up some tea and some fish for dinner that looked very good. I did the self checkout and it was not busy, so was able to check out with ease and be on my way. I especially liked the fact that the grocery store was clean and everything was easy to locate in the store. Fresh Thyme is excellent and the prices are fairly decent, so you will not go broke shopping at this store. It is worth the price and the time to spend grocery shopping at Fresh Thyme. I will definitely be back here again.

Beautiful,bountiful produce section.

This location is one of the largest Fresh Thymes it seems - there seems to be a little more open floor space and wider aisles than some of the other stores. I really enjoy shopping Fresh Thyme. I love the crossover ad day - Wednesday - when the store honors sales from previous and current week. We particularly like their Applewood Smoked Bacon, their Salmon, and their Tuna Salad. On Thursday they run a special on Suishi - several varieties are $5.00. The staff is very friendly and the shelves and vases at this location are usually filled. The store is clean and the parking lot is huge.

I love Fresh Thyme! My main stop for all things groceries. I get whole foods type items without the steep price tag. Great deli and meat selection, although I am disappointed that they no longer carry fresh wild salmon. They're really good about taking rain checks a while after they're issued (I have a bad habit of forgetting about them) which is great! Staff is always super friendly and willing to help locate specific items and you never have to look around for someone too long. The store is always cleans and inviting and shoppers can get a cup of coffee for $1!

Farm decor on the outside (but not hokey inside)

I have found a new grocery store I'm in love with! Don't be put off by the slightly gimmicky exterior with the barnyard decor. Step inside to a clean and bright farmers market style store that is larger than a Trader Joe's or Fresh Market but not as big as a Kroger or Market District, (by any means). Things to note: -Bulk section for coffee, nuts, oils, and candy (and I'm sure more) -Fresh juice bar in the back -Boar's Head meat available at the deli counter -Overall nice selection of name brands vs. generics and organic brands I haven't heard of -Super friendly cashiers I'm eager to see what the new Broad Ripple location of Fresh Thyme will be like once it opens!

Fresh Thyme has exploded in the Indianapolis market this year, opening several new locations all around town, with more on the way, according to a recent article in the Indianapolis Star. I've been to the one in Greenwood several times, so when this one opened, I decided to stop by and check it out. It's close to my office, so stopping by on my way home for something is much more convenient than going to other places. It's also near Trader Joe's, so if one doesn't have what I'm looking for, I can quickly stop in at the other spot. This store seems smaller than the one in Greenwood, and it's reversed in its layout. The produce section seems different to me, but that's probably just because I'm used to the other store. Enough about what this store isn't in terms of other locations.. let's chat about what it is. When a co-worker asked me to describe Fresh Thyme, I first said "It's like Trader Joe's without the huge wine and cheese section". After I think about it a little more, this isn't a fair statement. Trader Joe's carries their own brand for the most part whereas Fresh Thyme doesn't. After thinking about it for a few days, I think I would relate Fresh Thyme more to a Fresh Market, but without the hoity-toity prices. The prices here are reasonable, and that'll keep me coming back. Other items of note: -pizza bar -a decent amount of kosher products (not quite a full aisle, but close) -better produce than most places -super fast check outs (and I'm hoping this continues.. not just during their opening) -salad bar -small seating area to eat food from said salad bar

This is a great grocery addition to the NW side. Prices are reasonable and they carry a lot of healthy items. The food service area is also pretty nice. A decent option to pick up a quick after work dinner (there's no seating area).

Check out their sandwich shop!

Ask the Community - Fresh Thyme Market

Anyone else having a problem recently with the store either not having something listed in their ad OR being out of something and then told you cannot get a rain check? I used to love this store...

Flyers are printed months ahead of the sale by corporate. There is no way of knowing if a store or stores will be out of a product. No way to know if a supplier will deliver or also be out of a product. Rain checks can also cause issues. How do you…

Just wanted to say that the Kroger's downtown Indianapolis on East Michigan Street is one of the…read morebest of all the Kroger stores that I've ever shopped at the staff is friendly the store very very clean , the woman that normally works the self checkout stations , is very friendly she seems to go above and beyond the normal standards of an employee the manager she's very helpful very friendly also the lady that runs the customer service area is also very friendly and very helpful. I enjoy shopping there I've been shopping there for quite some time now. Only thing I don't like is sometimes they don't have the electric carts so I try to shop early in the morning so maybe I can get electric cart. So if you ever in the neighborhood of downtown Indianapolis stop by Kroger's on East Michigan Street they have great values great products or you're not shopping just stop by and tell them what a great and wonderful job they're doing. I definitely give this store location of Kroger's five stars and two thumbs up in my review. I don't have any pictures to post and maybe next time I'm shopping there I'll take some pictures and get the names of the employees that are very friendly and edit my post and my review.

I read some of the other reviews and I guess I went at good times because I didn't see any homeless…read morepeople and the employees were very nice. Came here to see if they had Luna bars and was very happy when I found them. And they were on sale 4/$5 which was even better. Great deal!! I also wanted something sweet and ended up with this chocolate tres leches style cake. Never had anything like this before and it wasn't bad. Not sure if I like all the liquid but I did like the flavor. And it was only 200 calories. If you've never had a cake like this I would definitely recommend trying it. And they had other flavors if chocolate isn't your thing. Would also recommend going to the customer service desk and signing up for a Kroger card so you can get the sale items. Only takes a few minutes to fill out the paper.

Who the heck knew that there is a Needler's in downtown Indianapolis? Apparently, everyone except…read moreme. I guess this used to be a Marsh, before all of the Marsh stores closed. So all of the old reviews that mention Marsh don't apply to this newer store, now called Needler's Fresh Market. I don't know -- I think Needler's is pretty good! It has a little bakery on site (Lemon's Bakery Cafe), which has hot food and baked goods, with seating by big windows that overlook Mass Ave. Beyond the cafe, the rest of the joint is a small grocery store. You'll find a modest produce section with fresh-looking greens and fruit and things. They sell house-made hummus and sushi. The wine section is abysmal, but I did find a bottle of one of my cheapie low-key favorite bottles of Malbec here, so I picked that up. The dried ramen section is also better than it needs to be. The prices seem to be about the same as Kroger and other grocery stores. Checkout was quick and there were several registers open. The only thing is that I entered through the cafe and exited by the registers, so I got a little turned around once I exited. Keep in mind that you can only enter/exit through the cafe at certain hours. They lock that door after a particular time. (I think it's 5 or 6 p.m.)

well, I love Needler's, I've been going to this downtown location for many, many years now!…read moreNeedler's is a very convenient fresh market store, that I consider it being the better market! better then Kroger's, Preston's say way, and Myers! its just a expensive market Thank you Mr. Anthony L.

However, I was waiting in line 12 and a child in front of me dropped some coins and was paying for his own cookies. His mother was in front of him, so I helped him try to find his coins and so did she, and there was only one person behind me. Everything moved along relatively smoothly, but when I got up to the register, and the mother and son had left the cashier who is an older lady wanted to complain to me about the woman that her son taking too long and moving in the way, and having their cart still there whatever I told her twice that it was not a big deal and that I didn't care about the weight, but she wanted me to join in with her in demeaning this customer that was before me. It really put a bad taste in my mouth because she was neither pleasant nor kind. I expect a lot more from the cashiers at Meijer because I've never had this experience before, but I was in a really good mood because it was New Year's Eve and she really soured the moment. How rude.
