My parents and I stopped by Western Market last week to grab a lunch or some snacks for our day. The market has been open since 1983, and it's easy to see why. The market has great fresh produce and tons of Michigan brands. It's small but well-stocked. One thing that surprised me was how great their wine selection was! I saw a bottle of Gut Oggau, which most wine shops don't carry, and I was shocked! (Don't hesitate to buy wine here.) I did find their prepared food offerings a little underwhelming (we had been shopping for a lunch or snack after all), but I found it to be a very nice market for grocery shopping or wine shopping! read more

If you're looking for a grocery store that has a niche variety of condiments, fresh vegetables,, baked goods, and more. This is definitely the grocery store to go to. I've been going for the past 20 years and really love how it's a good shopping experience, you're bound to run into asomeone you know. The prices are pretty reasonable, and it's a very safe environment. read more

I'm sure the locals know about this place but I just happen to stumble upon it, and I was pleased that I did. Western Market has a wide selection of fresh foods, drinks, meats, vegan foods and even more specialty items. The place was very clean and the staff were friendly. It has a high end feel to it but pretty competitive prices compared to a Better Health, Zerbos, or Westborn Market. If you're in Ferndale and need to make a grocery store run I would highly recommend this place! read more

There are always hidden gems here in regards to snacks and specialty foods (like cheese). Overall, delicious and relatively diverse supply of products however noted that it can be a little pricy imo. Fun place to explore though! read more

Love it here, overall very convenient and the selection of produce and meat is amazing. The staff is friendly and helpful. BUT be careful to check the expiration dates, something one really shouldn't have to worry about. Just today, tomatillos were rotting, even the onions were in bad shape. I purchased some pita bread the other day that turned out to be moldy which I didn't notice until I got home. Would easily be 5 stars for me if not the apparent expiration issues. read more

I would always come for the chocolate chip cookies. Not sure if "hope's cookies" are a vendor change but they are HORRIBLE!! 8$ for 6 cookies and each time they taste like cookie dough. They aren't throughly cooked. When you bite into them, you can feel the grittiness of the sugar. Please go back to what you had! If I wanted to have to cook the cookies I would buy the dough myself! read more

Decent place but the pan handling guy outside is annoying. Stopped going here because of it. Why don't the owners do something about it?

I purchased chicken (wing dings) and turkey wings from Western Market 12/12/25. I was thoroughly disappointed because when I open the bag the next day, both of them were totally rotten. I almost passed out from the smell, which they double bag; I believe, to concealed the smell. What an outrageous and underhanded thing to do to a customer or anyone for that matter. I did not waste my time returning them because I felt this was done deliberately and intentionally by the handler!!! I was out of money and meat. I had not shopped at Western Market since it came up under new ownership. Just think, if they done that, what else are they doing??? They have no integrity! Customers, please beware! I will never shop there again!!! I pray that they go out of business! read more

Careful shopping here. Several items I have run across are expired or close to expiring. The store really needs to have staff go thru the refrigerator case especially and pull old items. read more

I am so grateful for this place - it's very evident that each product is thoughtfully selected to have in the store. I'm a big nutrition label reader and almost everything is made with whole ingredients but they have various popular items as well. If you're a single person, they create small portion items that you can purchase for Cheap, which is so helpful because so much food would go to waste if I bought a regular portion and it allows me to try new things. Everything they make in house is very delicious as well. I go to the soup and salad bar almost daily, but you will certainly find me here multiple times a week. I can't rave enough about this market! read more

I used to go here several times a week. This was my preferred grocery market. They used to be cheaper than holiday market, Westborn and Trader Joe's. The last year, I have had to go to Trader Joe's or Westborn because they are cheaper, and I can budget better. If I spend $125 at Trader Joe's, I would be charged $250 at Western. I am a quiet person with cPTSD. My cPTSD is triggered when I am approached and people beg me for money or to sign up for stuff I CAN'T AFFORD. I no longer feel safe shopping because this grocery store allows solicitors in store! I got heckled to sign up for a newspaper! Why? Because I fawn, or cooperate when cornered as part of a cPTSD response when in a vulnerable state. This is one of the reasons why I can never go back. I also feel exploited with the prices of everything in store. I am on a tight budget since 2020, and I can't justify why I should pay $10 for a product that I can get for half the price elsewhere! Not only that, I have to check the dates on products. I have purchased crushed eggs, sour milk, expired dips. No more. I can't justify throwing my hard earned money away. read more

This place is a gem. They have great local food finds. They also have great vegan options. It's easier to run into and get what you need than chain grocery stores. The quality of their produce, breads and baked goods is unmatched. read more

This is my go to spot to get my knives sharpened for a reasonable price, just $2.50 a knife and they do it while you shop if it's not busy at the meat counter. I also love the bulk spice section and speciality hot sauces. Definitely more of a specialty food store or if you're in a pinch and forgot an item for cooking a meal. In the last year they've done a ton of great updates to the store: fresh paint, shelves, and produce bins. Not the biggest fan of the self-checkout since I feel like this neighborhood grocery benefitted from the personal touch of the cashiers. There are still a couple cashiers but they went from 4 cashiers to 2 and added 4 self checkouts. A little bit more expensive for staples but they have an amazing selection of prepared items for a to-go lunch or dinner. Quality meats at the meat and deli counters and a fun craft beer selection. Sometimes we gather meats and cheeses for a charcuterie board from here too. I also love their discount section at the back past the dairy coolers. I always get a day old bread and other food items they've discounted. read more

Every time I come in to this store, there is one employee following me around and laughing to my face. Yes this is extremely weird and hardly explainable in normal world. I took my husband to whiteness this and we approached this individual and he didn't even denied it . My husband called management immediately and they basically accused us of lying. Store is maybe nice but there is a rotten energy inside. We considering lawsuit. Harassment is not acceptable. read more

Love this place: great meat counter with my fave butcher (Maria?), lovely herbs, great fruit/vegetable section, good wine selection.

Great place! Very Clean!! Friendly! Prices fare compared to other markets like this. read more

Western now invite bums to sit outside of their entrance, blocking part of the driveway and annoying / repelling customers, and beg. Never was a problem until recently. I won't go there anymore. Their prices are out of this world! Stick to Kroger, Walmart, or Aldi's. Sam's or Costco is even better. read more

I would have left a higher rating, but after how I was treated I'm not sure how to feel. I am a repeat customer, I come here maybe once a week or once every two weeks. I was accused of stealing possibly $1.00 at most worth of side toppings for my salad. I will say that I did not know that I had to ring in the toppings along with my salad. Once she told me that I continued to ring my items and she went on with her conversation with a coworker. As I was leaving she yelled across the store saying "ma'am! Excuse me ma'am did you pay for the side items?!?". I replied "yes" and continue walking she continues to say "oh really, because I didn't see you" in a snarky tone. It didn't stop there she almost attempted to chase after me. It was so humiliating and I've never been accused of stealing anything in my life. I am truly disappointed, she could've just asked to see my receipt. The attempt to catch me red handed was extremely distasteful. In the event that I rung up my items incorrectly, educate me! Don't continue to talk to coworkers about scheduling. Then proceed to accuse customers of stealing because you didn't see them. There was a significant number of people in there as well, it was so embarrassing! All of the other encounters I've had at this market have been wonderful and pleasant. It is a bit overpriced, but I know and appreciate quality items, so I gladly pay. The soups and salads are delicious. The place is always clean and in pristine condition. Give them a try, don't let my encounter deter you from going. I'll still continue to support, but this encounter just left a bit of sour taste. read more

Whole food prices $$$ Fun place to shop Good service with lots of employees to help in each department read more

Wanna be Whole Foods with exorbitant prices every single product is 30% to 40% more than anywhere else. Do yourself a favor and go somewhere else. I can't believe how grocery stores are doing this nowadays. I just paid 10 dollars for some reeds ginger beer. Is 6.49 everywhere that's. 35%increase for what?! Ambiance?! Y'all wonder why small business go under. Selling generic products for twice the price. read more

This place fires one of the sweetest and maturest cashiers that I've ever met and it is sad that I don't get to see her there anymore. I saw her at a restaurant and she told me what they did to her and I couldn't believe it. I will not patronize a place that treats their good employees that way. My experiences there lately has not been good, the cashiers are snotty and full of attitude and that manager is not friendly at all and always look upset. Small businesses need to be better with the quality of people they hire or they will lose customers. read more

I have shopped here dozens of times and the staff on the floor are rarely helpful and often borderline hostile. Maybe surliness is a job requirement. I don't need much help but being treated with contempt when I do, like I was this morning, is totally unacceptable. Particularly considering the prices here. Happy to take my dollars elsewhere from here on out. read more

Western market is a cute little supermarket located in Ferndale :-) It has all the essentials one needs. They usually have everything in stock. The best part of the store are the baked goods ! They have the best cream cheese brownies ! If you are ever in Ferndale you must stop in and get some ! You won't be disappointed. Due to COVID they don't have the soup or salad bar right now which is a bummer because they make great soup! However, I do believe that they have their soup prepackaged so you can still purchase it. When I need meat I always go here because they prices are reasonable and the meat is always fresh ! Can't beat a fresh hot rotisserie chicken :-) Also staff is always friendly which makes you want to return to the store. Give the market your business :-) read more

Just picked up our fruit and cookie tray for the holidays. The cookies are delicious and the fruit tray is huge! I ordered a medium and it was larger than expected. It looks beautiful. Can't wait for breakfast on Christmas. Great job Western! read more

Really nice market, and great food choices. The prices are outrageous so they lost a star for that. I love the jalapeño pierogis (they're on the back wall). read more

I used to like going to this grocery store to pick up some staples I forgot, or a quick lunch. Unfortunately, this has stopped as the ACLU workers follow me from the parking lot to the front door. They refuse to leave me alone despite me declining to talk. Overall, the store no longer feels safe to me since the ACLU workers don't seem to understand no, and continue to follow. Overall, great grocery store but it's not somewhere I will go on my own. read more

Quality food and fresh produce, but prepare yourself to spend a pretty penny. Staff is strange, some are VERY sweet and others are just rude and patronizing. Store is also pretty cramped. I live a few minutes away but I only come here if it's absolutely necessary. read more

I love this place I been coming here since I was a kid I love the fresh salads and soup. I love the flowers and fruit and vegetables meats.

This small-ish market tries to compete with the gourmet markets, while keeping prices reasonable and stocking eclectic items. This place once was a bargain fruit and vegetable market, with some staples. Then they remodeled and went high end. A genuine competitor to Westborn and Holiday. But for their space limitation, they would hold their own. Staff is always friendly and helpful. Prices for fruits and vegetables is reasonable. Prepared foods are tasty. Large meat and deli counter. Lots of specialty milks. Wine selection is their weakest point. Weird stuff you never heard of. Even Vivino can't identify many of the wines. Weird price points. I mean higher prices than I would expect for unknown wines. Very few $10 bottles. Other weak point is lack of selection of staples. But given their lack of space, can't really fault them for it. Good neighborhood specialty and fruit market. read more

In my previous review I mentioned how amazing this market is no doubt, but also how they have a beautiful outdoor mini nursery that just has a crazy amount of flowers, herbs, fruits, veggies and so much more. Since I was just here, I decided to takes a lot of pics just so everyone can see what I mean. They started filling in the area with some flowers and decorations about a month ago, but now that springer (spring-summer) is finally here to stay, everything has been put on full display, and its glorious! I love coming here during the warmer months and looking at all their flower/plant options. As soon as you walk up you're greeted with hanging flowers, different sized pots, bird houses, cool metal lawn decorations, potting trays containing lots of different flowers, strawberries, corn, and even tomato plants with wire cages so the tomatoes can have somewhere to hang/grow. Everything outside is for purchase and there's a small shed where some Western employees can help you with anything you may need. Along the sidewalk is where you can find a lot of their herbs like thyme, sage, rosemary and even a couple different types of lavender (my fave!!!). They also have some larger potted plants like aloe and king rose and just a sea of even more flowers! And of course there's always fresh fruit and veggies outside too, since the inside is literally overflowing with all that fresh goodness! read more

Western Market is the quintessential grocer and provisions store in the Ferndale area. It truly is an amazing experience to shop there! They have all types of specialty products and your everyday essentials, all at the highest quality available. The meat section has the best cuts and even includes lamb, pork, beef, chicken, and local seafood. I also love the Western Market spice blends! If you're in the Ferndale area you just have to shop there! read more

This place looks cool and has a decent produce section but has very little specialize items and I am not so impressed by the foods they make. I like the random wine tasting they have by the meat section here and there. I try to patron the stores more often by my house in royal Oak, plus I feel there are more options to pick from there. This is a decent spot to pick up something simple and quick, but as it's a small one off speciality store, prices here can feel a bit high for what you get. read more

Amazing place for organic and healthy food at a great price, they have a great selection of wine, cheese, and meats. They also have a salad bar, and multiple soups to choose from. The service in this place is immaculate, they are very friendly people and will make sure you get what you need and are treated right. The space is very clean and you rarely see any clutter or mess. Definitely an amazing store to shop at regularly. read more

The store is.....fine. However, unless you have copious amounts of disposable income, DO NOT go there for a deli sandwich. Why? Because they're $20!!!! Are you out of your ever-loving mind, Western Market? read more

A small but packed high end grocery store. Located off busy 9 Mile in trendy Ferndale. They have a private lot, but sometimes it is very busy. Outside is a high end grill and lawn a garden toy/ornament section. Usually there are also plants. Inside is a maze of narrow crowded in shelves, quality produce, higher end food products, prepared foods, and a small but nice meat and wine/beer area. Everything feels cramped, and for part of the shopping you are funneled. All the products are high end/quality. During busy times it is crowded and difficult to shop. read more

Always helpful and knowledgeable. They have a wide arrangement of products, brands, and I believe majority organic. It makes me happy to support this local business when they constantly are friendly, clean, and stocked. The only downside is how cramped the checkout lines are but never wait more than 5 minutes to checkout, even on a busy night. read more

As a Ferndale resident I enjoy shopping local. Western is the best produce market compared to Holiday, Westbourn or Trader Joe's. Some people complain about the prices but I find their prices just right especially for organic produce. Western has a great variety of fruits and vegetables. The meat counter is on point. The ready made food and salad bar is a nice addition to the store. The employees are always friendly and helpful. At Western you can meet almost all of your basic grocery shopping needs. read more

Nice grocery store, have some interesting items. Really nice prepared food section but the ultimate winner is the cactus chili the flavors are incredible not overly spicy. Beef , corn ,beans, tomato, onion and cactus. This stuff is top notch. The thing is you have to check their website to see what days they serve it. I have had other soups there and they are fantastic. read more

Cool store clearly popular with the locals. Stopped through a few times and the quick to go food is always good.

I live fairly close to this store. I've purchased items from here a few times and overall a great experience. Is it pricey? Yes...but what isnt in Ferndale. Also, you're paying for overall quality and their quality is off the charts. Fresh veggies, free parking, SOLID butcher! You guys are my new go to for when im feeling bad and bougie. #StampOfApproval read more
