Grocery Stores Respond to Coronavirus Crisis With Seniors-Only Shopping Hours | Eater SF

"I found that Fresh Market has special senior hours from 8–9 a.m., Monday through Friday." - Eve Batey

I had the opportunity to visit this grocery store while running some errands in the area, and I must say that I was pretty impressed. Upon entering, I was greeted by abundant fresh flowers, creating a pleasant ambiance. The well-organized display of products gave the store a boutique feel, and I appreciated the cleanliness and charming design elements throughout the space. The cashier provided friendly service, and the ample parking made the shopping experience convenient. I am looking forward to returning for future visits.

Clean store, friendly staff, an unique selection of products. Conveniently located off Maple. Great program for members with discounts, free samples, and more.

The pretzel 🥨 wasn't as fresh as I hoped. I'll go back and give them another try. You never know could've been an off day. As a baker myself we all have those.

All and all, it is a nice store with a great selection. The issue is that when they were opening this location they tried to get a beloved Vienna small business booted out of the shopping center. So buy your food there, but go get your beer and wine from Norm's.

Front end saff is not friendly, act like being bothered. However deli staff is nice. Only offer one type of sushi for Thursday special while other Fresh Markets offer different varieties.

I like shopping here for items for dinner or when I have a craving and want to make something for myself. The veggies aren’t always the best but I like the meat options. A couple of times we were overcharged like of the eggs we picked up weren’t actually the eggs on sale because they were shelves wrong or the butcher didn’t pay attention to the ticket and we got charged for filets instead of sausages. But those are just mistakes. Staff is always friendly and helpful!

The Fresh Market in Vienna is a great place to get the special items but also your regular grocery needs. It's clean, calming and an enjoyable shopping moment. The layout of the store is easy and flows well. It's always stocked well and the produce is fresh.

Went in and night a few things. They have box meals you can buy and cook at home that are very good. Good selection of items that are very well displayed. Great deli if you want something quick.

My family definitely enjoy a nice grocery experience.... We have driven by this place several times, and never noticed it. Someone had mentioned Fresh Market to us, and we were shocked to see one near by. When you walk in, feels like a magical place. Piles of cake slices at the door (dangerous, yes we grabbed some), a really nice selection of florals, an abundance of color organized candy...... We tend to buy more organic items, and they do not have enough for us to shop here regularly. But a good place for random things you may not find anywhere else. The store was clean and tons of employees everywhere....... but no one acknowledged us, no one said hi, no one smiled.... The deli dept seemed to be the most fun, having loud conversations with regulars, but we didn't go over there. Checking out was even worse, I asked about how to become a member she threw a receipt at me and said its on there and turned away from me. Desserts ended up being incredible. They do have a handful of gluten free items, from brands we were not familiar with hidden in the bakery too. Sooooo we will probably be back, but would like to check a different location to see if it's a better experience.

My sweet tooth was aching, so I stopped by The Fresh Market. They have delicious desserts. We settled on carrot cake, strawberry whipped cream cake, and hamentashen. The carrot cake was moist and sweet with a scrumptious cream cheese icing. I really enjoyed the warm spices and walnuts inside the cake. The strawberry whipped cream cake had huge strawberries in a vanilla cake. It was light and airy. It was so yummy! I was in heaven. The hamentashen were very good too. They had apricot and cherry fillings. They were the perfect size, about the size of a cookie. The crust was crumbly and tasty. Service was excellent and they even gave my granddaughter a cookie. That was so nice, in my opinion. I will definitely be back, when my sweet tooth needs filling. Of course, that doesn't take very long. : )

Been driving here to get holiday beef tenderloin since this store opened. The meat department no longer has knowledgeable butcher or good service. The tenderloin was barely trimmed and poorly tied and then squeezed on a tray with the ground remains so all messy rather than wrapping two separately. The quality of meat was very poor this year in taste and water content. Seafood was also subpar so this is last time will shop there. All of that time and expense and a disappointing result.

My husband and I ordered the Easter Lamb dinner and it was the best we've ever had! We have ordered their Valentine's Dinner before and it's been very good, but this was restaurant quality. We are planning a large get together for Mothers Day and I am going to check out their catering menu. Beautiful presentation; seasoned lamb chops!!

Prices are extremely high and expensive. You can buy the same product for a lower price elsewhere. There's nothing particularly special about this grocery place except for their decor! I thought I would see more vegetables and fruits since it's a fresh market. I would go to sprouts

The Fresh Market is always a fun experience. I love wandering through the snack areas and looking for a fun new snack to try. The baked goods, especially the fresh baked cookies, are a big hit at our house. I also love that they have a huge selection of nuts, seeds, and dried fruit that you can buy by the pound. Recently I found coconut whipped cream which is my new summer treat with fresh strawberries. Our best find has been these "football sized" potatoes. We love steakhouse baked potatoes because they are so satisfying, but could never find anything close in size. Imagine how excited we were to find them at the Fresh Market. Overall a great market if you're looking for healthier options at reasonable prices.

My husband/foodie partner and I love this place so much for it's select fresh market meats cuts and selections. The steaks and pork chops and specialty items are always on deck. We don't do regular grocery shopping here b/c she costly but we can usually find those items that take our food from ordinary to extraordinary. We shop at the one in Alexandria because we love the staff and serviced the ambiance is so chill and bougie at the same time. But we spend quite a bit of time there. Love it

Yearly Review Update: Since discovering The Fresh Market during the pandemic we have come to reply (and love!) them for many more reasons! + First and foremost, even though The Fresh Market is a national chain, it retains a very small town feeling. The workers are so genuinely kind and friendly, and they made my daughter's day by presenting her with some Pez the other day! + Their catering department is top notch! We ordered a brunch feast for a baby shower and everything we received was beautifully packaged, tasty, and fresh! Ordering and pickup was a breeze and made the whole event go really smoothly. + Their Little Big Meals have been a lifesaver! We love trying out all their different items. + Their dessert and ice cream section are amazing. Their bakery is top notch -- we are constantly fooling our friends and family that we purchased something from a local gourmet bakery with their items! + Their candy selection reminds me of those old school candy stores! So many selections that are fun to eat and beautiful to look at as well.

If you enjoy shopping with mood lighting and good food, this is the place for you. They have a nice variety of groceries and some unexpectedly good prices (given the high end look of the store). My husband is quite fond of their cheese selection and my youngest loves their variety of allergy friendly foods. I'm partial to their candy selection. Lots to love here.

We used to love their 12 inch pies hence the reason I drove all the way to Vienna instead to going to wegmans which is 5 min from my house. The store seemed to have gone downhill since I've been here two years ago. I debated leaving but was too tired to go somewhere else so I grabbed 3 different pies and a bag of blood orange. The pies aren't as good and they used to be and the blood orange was just yuck. From today on, Fresh Market has been deleted from my memory. One star for the nice lady that checked me out.

12/27/19 After checking out this very clean and organic store, I found what I was looking for. I wanted something that would hold me over till lunchtime. The taste of mixed melon fruit did the trick. I don't eat cantaloupe too often, but I have had it two days in a row now. Ir brings be back to the day when I hat melon, cantaloupe and grapefruit for breakfast as a kid. Oh the things we remember. When I was ready to check out, I was greated by a young lady named Silvia. It turned out Silvia was new to working the register and it was in fact her first week at this job. Despite the small mistake, she kept her composure and I was enjoying the moment. It reminded me when I was first learning how to deal with the cash and learn the register. In time she will get better and she will be training others. Today I met a man named Dean and I could tell he had been doing his job for some time. I like this place and I think I will be coming back here next week too. I will keep the place in mind for future job assignments in Vienna. Even though Giant Foods is across the street, I will come here 80% of the time.

Ordered the Valentine's Day special dinner for 2 ($60) and was totally pleased. Online ordering was easy, pick-up was as promised, and the meal was delicious! The package deal included 2 beautiful filet mignons, fresh and delicious asparagus, whipped rosemary potatoes, and fresh and delicious chocolate covered strawberries. I was able to select my pick of a dozen roses, and the food came in a great Fresh Market insulated bag and printed, simple instructions for preparation. Staff was extremely helpful and pleasant, and checkout was a breeze. Will recommend this wonderful Valentine's treat to my friends. Also ordered a platter of chicken wings for the SuperBowl 2 days prior to Valentine's and it was as promised and delicious also - thanks for a great experience on 2 occasions!

Getting my favorite grocery store, conveniently located in the strip mall where my husband works (BTW, this small strip mall has a great selection of restaurants and stores such as Italian, Crepes, Asian fusion, European style bakery, liquor store with many craft beers, reasonably priced Cleaners, etc). Fell in love with their smoked salmon at seafood counter at first, and I've been finding variety of International foods, good coffee, wonderful deli section, authentic Japanese green tea in the bottle (oi ocha), and list goes on. Also, they treat flowers very good too (stems of cut flowers are conveniently cleaned so you don't have to strip unnecessary leaves off before putting flowers in the vase). Not too big, not too pricey as some other grumet groceries. I always find something interesting at every visit, such as Okra pickles! 最近お気に入りのスーパーです。主人が働いている小さいショッピングモールにあって、車で送って行った時に便利で、ついつい寄ってしまいます。 (ところでこのモール、窯焼きピザのイタリアンを始め、クレープ屋さん、ヨーロッパスタイルベーカリー、アジアフュージョン、クラフトビールが豊富な酒屋さん、現金払いのみですが安いクリーニング店などオススメの店が集まってます) 最初はシーフードカウンターで売っているスモークサーモンが美味しくてハマり、ヨーローッパもの、アジア系、美味しいコーヒー、新鮮な野菜やフルーツ等色々あります。 デリもオススメで、美味しいものが揃ってます。 "お~いお茶"等も売ってて、この辺りではリーズナブルな値段です。 普通ワシントンDC近郊は日本のものが高いので、安売りしてる時は買っちゃいます。 店も大きすぎず、多々あるグルメストア程高くないのがまたいいです。 行く度に面白いもの見つけてて、この間はオクラのピクルス発見。初めて食べましたが、美味しい〜

I was make a specific effort to come here even though it's a bit pricier than some other options like Giant across the street. I love their proteins and that it's not just all pre-packaged and that's usually my focus when I pop in. I've also gone there for prepared meals and sides and enjoyed them. They also have a great coffee, candy, and wine section. Strangely my bad experience has almost always had to do with the produce. I usually buy fruit and veggies to use either that day or for the following day and so when it goes bad I find it very frustrating. Most recently I purchased packaged greens on Friday the 17th and when I went to eat them the 18th and opened the package it had that funky smell associated with essentially wet, rotting greens that's covered in that brown liquid. Looking at the package the best/use by date was the 16th, which makes me think it shouldn't have been out for purchase. I was able to scrounge out enough for a small salad but had to through away most of it. I've had a few similar instances with other veggies. I'll probably continue to go back for meat and some other products but the produce has left a bad taste in my mouth, literally and figuratively, one too many times. In general the store is well laid out and clean and has most of what you're looking for. The staff have always been polite but depending on who engage aren't always the most smiling bunch.

(3.5) ~ good overall Fresh Market. Slightly smaller(less items) than the Rockville, MD location, but still carries unique items for fellow foodies;)

I used to be a big fan of The Fresh Market when I lived in Tampa. They had several locations there and always seemed to have something new and wonderful. I moved up here in 2012 and they were okay, but it was nice to still have Fresh Market here. Then they closed the new location at One Loudoun. Then things went down-hill everywhere after that. Specifically, the customer service at the Vienna location has always been problematic. Their facilities have always been bad -- the sink is old fashioned and doesn't work well and it's always dirty. Today was the worse though. They didn't have any toilet paper -- I swear they don't clean it maybe once a day if that -- so I had to use fingers to clean myself but the water did not stay on!!! So to make matters worse, they don't have any paper towel in there either, just an old rusty air dryer. So I told the cashiers (two of them, guys) and just got a shrugged shoulder. I went and found the manager, who said he'd take care of it. But really, shouldn't it be just common sense to have someone checking the rest rooms and cleaning them hourly? They need leadership. I hope the ones I left behind in Florida are still doing okay.

Fresh market?..... More like a "not so fresh market"!!! It used to be my go-to place for fresh meats, but that has changed today. I bought the chicken a la venezia from the meat department, and it tasted AND smelled like it has been sitting out for two weeks. I don't know what happened to this store. I expected better from a market that has "fresh" in its name.

I like this place since it's close to my job and I don't feel like I spending a whole paycheck on groceries. I sometimes stop here to pick up lunch or snacks on lunch breaks. Today there were 6 of us in line with only 1 person ringing up. Yet there were 4-6 people huddled on the floor (staff) maybe having a meeting but clearly they could see the line. Times like this I think the management team should worry about getting the customers rung up and on their way.

My new favorite place! First time ever going and I loved it. It kind of reminded me of a smaller Wegmans. The barrels of coffee beans and nuts were really cool. They also had a huge candy selection if that's what you crave. All of the baked goods looked really tasty but I fought the urge. I ended up getting spicy nama salmon rolls, which were really good for my first sushi..ever. This place is one of my faves.

I have been wondering about this place ever since I moved to fairfax Vienna. I knew nothing about it and asked around. Basically it was similar to whole foods and trader joes. I noticed that they had a lot of different items that seem to be unique . Like something you would see on Shark Tank.

In general. Love this store .

I visited the new store in town - The Fresh Market - last week. There were a few things that struck me right away - - The song "It's a Wonderful World" started playing in my mind! - I felt I was in a fictional place where the sun was bright and sky was blue and everyone was happy and we were all friends! The excitement and happy smiles on the barely-out-of-college employees is very infectious and it definitely elevated my shopping experience! But once the euphoria settles a bit the store seems to be a cross between Whole Foods and Trader Joe's. You get most things you would never look for at a Giant but you still need a Giant after a visit here. The quality of stuff available here - specially in the fresh produce and deli section - is really good. The white nectarines were yummy and juicy! Same for black forest ham slices and store made sausages. Per my wife, they are one of the best sausages she has had ever! Employees were super friendly and nice tho a bit rough around the edges. But a nice welcome addition to Vienna!

Nice selection of food but very poor service particularly at the checkout counter. Not enough cashiers on site and some of them are very incompetent. It is not fair for someone with 8 items to have to wait behind someone with 50 to 70 items. Please implement a form of self checkout!!!!

Should be called "NOT SO FRESH Market". Went there for the first time today because my sister. We bought a napoleon and an eclair. The store is neat and orderly and there's a lot of food available for purchase that is already prepared (like chicken salad, seafood salad, macaroni and cheese, chicken wings etc.) The thing that struck me was that ALL of the prepared food looked gross and the opposite of "FRESH". My sister asked to taste their seafood salad. She was given a small portion to taste and thought it tasted so gross she didn't even finish the small sample she'd been given. The eclair (which cost $4.00) was wet and soggy on the bottom. The napoleon (which also cost about 4.00) was just ok, but definitely not fresh and was rather mushy and soft. Overall, I was not impressed and won't be returning.

Went to The Fresh Market for some potatoes for dinner. I wanted to make baked potatoes. There were a few potatoes in a pile, most were slightly green and then there was one that looked so old it was cracked (see picture). Definitely NOT fresh!

Updated for 9/2021: check your prepared foods carefully and be prepared for significant frustration if you call. I bought a 1lb. Tub of chicken salad on 9/19 and my wife almost choked on it because it had chicken bones in it, at least one more than an inch long. Upon calling the store, the voice mail tree led to a dead end and when I finally got someone, I was disconnected mid-call. It happened a second time. I would have appreciated a warning about the bones, but no one said anything.

I like to think of this place as my little secret (though I know it's not, PLUS you all are reading this right now!) because I swear to high heaven, I have never waited in line here nor seen this place packed. A welcome reprieve from all the {other} bustling Vienna grocery stores. I come here for wine, cheese, and often random items like candles and dish towels. Fresh Market has a rather eclectic and upscale variety of non-food items, such as aforementioned towels. They always have seasonal ones, even for a smaller holiday such as Valentine's Day, and they are of excellent and durable quality. Their selection of flowers is also quite attention-grabbing. I like to think of this place as my own, much smaller and much more private version of Whole Foods. Kinda like "The Secret Garden" except with cheese and wine and beautiful dish towels!

I stumbled across this place because they sell 2 Cincinnati brand ice creams (Homemade Brand which is my favorite and Graeter's which is a close second). I really like this store because it's the quality of a Whole Foods, but the size and variety of a Trader Joe's and the prices are comparable to Whole Foods. They have a lot of specialty items. I never come here to do major grocery shopping, but it's a great place to get snacks for a party, wine, or ice cream. The workers are friendly and the store is always clean and not very crowded. I'm definitely a fan and wish they had more locations in Northern VA.

4.5, not 5, so people who are expecting everything in the world to be available in this little store don't cry foul play against their own criteria for a 5-star store. To be fair to those naysayers, TFM doesn't have a huge variety in some things like chips, etc. - you can count the aisles and see that you can't expect them to have everything. But size DOESN'T matter. What they DO have is good. Really good. Since my first review, I have had the chance to try their deli sandwiches more as well as more bakery items (their apple pie is darned good!). I have to also rave now about their sushi, which is made fresh with some flavorful concoctions, and still reasonably priced. It is run by Amy with "Sushi with Gusto," and she is as delightful as her products. That said, I come here several times a week from across town for their yummy coffee samples, bakery, meat sales, sushi and other goodie nooks - this store may not have it all but it has everything you need for a satisfying walk-thru for a meal and treats. In fact, I would be devastated if this market leaves our area, as it is truly a hidden gem with hidden gems. If you're all about the taste, you'll know what I mean.

I just don't get this place. It is like a small Whole Foods. I didn't find anything particularly exciting. They had produce, a bakery, a deli, some bulk foods, and the packaged and frozen food stuff. But it didn't seem to be particularly unique, or less expensive than other places. So I just don't get why I would go back rather than go to Whole Foods or Wegmans.

Thank goodness for this store. I do like WF and the Teeter and hope they stay good, but the need for this Fresh Market was big. Go on Tuesdays for specials on Ground Beef and BSCB....wines are good selection and price. Parking is great but never crowded....hope they can stick around. Always clean, sushi guy is good and nice and bakery is good. pricey...yes but it is food don't eat cheap food! Giant needs an overhaul bad!

Their weekly specials are very worthwhile. Good bakery. Excellent produce. For what it's worth, my kids like their deli turkey more than Giant (Boars Head) or WholeFoods. Pair that, with a loaf of sourdough that they will slice for you a the bakery. Kind of reminds me of the old Safeway (RIP) ... in that the store is never crowded while shopping, but then you have to wait in line at the register.

Weeks after filing a complaint to Customer Service via the URL form, a few days ago I received an email from Customer Loyalty that my communication was received last week. Today in the mail, Customer Loyalty sent a $25 gift card thanking me for the feedback and for helping them make improvements. I feel bettering knowing my concerns were acknowledged and appreciate the sentiment; however, it could have been more timely. My husband and I have family coming into town this week, so we'll use our $25 gift card to give it another go to see if any improvements have been made.

A step above Giant with selective better prices. My first visit, super easy parking, hardwood floors, friendly employees, fresh fruit and vegtables and decent pricing (tomatoes .99/lb, pears .99/lb, etc). The store was small and easy to get in and out quick. I will be back.

Average experiences here. I've enjoyed just about everything I've gotten from the bakery (except the pillow cookies, they're mediocre), some of the prepared fresh foods look tasty but some of them look like they came out of a freezer bag. Tried a chicken london for lunch today (chicken w/ cheddar and bacon in a pastry crust with poppy seeds)... was disappointed. I was hoping for sliced cheese and real bacon, the taste resembled the cheese flavor of a ham and cheese lean pocket with chicken. Not what I want for six dollars. Some nice things in the dairy case I haven't seen before (Australian yogurt). Their private label prices are very good, scored a 1.5 liter bottle of their interpretation of smartwater for 1.50. Excellent selection of non-perishables, coffee, and bulk candy. I will continue to shop here but probably not for a whole lot of "fresh" things.

I come here from time to time to buy the French Baguettes. The place looks very nice and clean. The people there are very friendly and helpful. But they are competing against Giant across the street and Whole Food. It will be tough since most locals shop at the other 2 places. Still, for the service, I will give them my business anytime.

Ok let's be real people the loaded cauliflower salad (I think that's what it's called) is TOTALLY delicious but fresh market managers if you're reading this I would like to know how many calories are in this item. And what if you added penne or other pastas. Back to this particular place the employees are very nice and funny I love talking to the bakers whenever I go there for cakes or breakfast pastries. The reason I give this a four star review is because some items can reach high prices like sometimes even sushi. BTW try the karma waters I LOVE THEM!

OMG, second star ONLY for good service from the front end people! I stepped out of my vehicle today to exchange an item, slipped and fell, injuring my wrist and my ankle. Front end was on top of it, offered me ice and called the store manager. Store manager couldn't have been any more irritated, acted like I was wasting his time for being injured. I just wanted to let them know where it was, he acted like he couldn't wait for me to depart. Finally I got an assistant store manager to help me identify the patch of ice, he told me it was out of their range but he would contact the landlord of the shopping center. I am a frequent customer, and it's ridiculous that I was made to feel like a burdan.....

Food poisoning. For dinner I got the dry baby rack ribs from the center counter. Half way through I noticed they tasted a little off and had to dump the rest. You know that feeling? Someone probably crapped on on their hands and didn't wash. Yuck. Later that night at 3am I thought I was dying. Stomach pain and massive amounts of diarrhea. Had to take 2 days off of work, my stomach is still messed up. I've been to FM before down in Richmond. I always feel like Hannibal Lecter walking around in FM, the symphony playing, employees and cashiers looking bored and tortured. I think I'll stick with Whole Foods going forward. Massive amounts of diarrhea.

I am a frequent visitor to The Fresh Market, and I will continue to be for as long as I'm in the area. The employees are very friendly, and attentive. This store is a bit pricier than your typical supermarket, but I do find it cheaper than the Whole Foods up the road, and much less crowded. The butcher and deli have a great selection as well.

Coleen C.

Yelp
It's not perfect but still I find myself there every week. I love their coffees, meat selection, 2.99 Tues deals, tortillas that I can't find anywhere else, $20. meal deal (dinner couldn't be easier), Sushi!!, eggs, their brand of just frozen veggies, chicken salad, music, easy parking, flowers, bakery and lots more that I can't get anywhere else. I do wish that there was a better view of the registers so that you could see which one was open, that the meat manager liked his job more and didn't look like he wants to kill me, the store manager would not "manage" her employees out in the open in front of where I need to shop, the deli line moved quicker. I have passed on some foods because they don't look that fresh (more than WF but far less than Giant). They have gone through a few cashiers who didn't last, but the ones who are there now are really nice and helpful. I ordered my turkey and some sides from there this Thanksgiving. They ran out of one of the wines I ordered and they called me ahead of time to warn me. Then I ended up with a wine educated employee who personally helped me pick out a new options. This was the day before Thanksgiving - their busiest day!

I am one who does not enjoy trips to the grocery store so when I do venture there I prefer somewhere that's a quick in and out. Fresh Market is that place! I often go to the one on King St. However, the location in Vienna had excellent customer service. Fresh Market is quiet, never crowded and they play nice classical music. Grocery shopping is truly an experience here. They are pricey and won't carry as wide a selection as your typical grocery store but I simply go for the fresh chicken and fish they offer. There aren't many grocery stores where I can get Wild Alaskan salmon so for that reason alone I enjoy Fresh Market.

While it's nice to have an alternative to Giant, this is not a better alternative than Whole Foods. The Fresh Market is kind of odd - it's kind of "pretend" upscale, but it's got a lot of crappy features - look at the artificial ingredients list in it's baked products. While their chicken says "natural" , when i asked if their beef was hormone free, they told me that hormones are stopped 90 days prior to slaughter. That's not the same as hormone free, is it? I'm not sure what their niche is supposed to be. I was hoping for good quality prepared foods, at least, but those seem to have deteriorated already. The rotisserie chicken salad which was excellent and light on mayo when they first opened and sampling it was inundated with mayo last time I got it - at least, a quality control issue. I do like that it's fast in-and-out, because it's small and parking is easy.

I like the look of this place better than the nearby WF. It's cleaner, more orderly, and they have enough variety (and parking). I was actually excited about this store, at first. What was a turn off was the cash register guy. He was so unfriendly, not a smile on his face, no greeting, no eye contact, and major attitude. He acted like he owned the store, and if he does, dude...your store won't stick around long with that 'tude. If he's not the owner and just likes to act like he's doing customers a favor by ringing up merchandise, he needs to be checked. Poor customer service + high competition = death to business. Oh, and he wasn't only high and mighty with me; saw him do the same to others ahead of me in line. Improve customer service and this might actually be a store I'd shop in again.

This place is great! All of their fresh food is really well done. I love how you can pick out the steak/fish you want BEFORE it's packaged up. The management team is helpful too!

if you like paying a lot for tiny portions of organic foods and niche brands, this is the place for you!
