I don’t think I’ll be back anytime soon - Edit
I’m usually a hyvee shopper but I liked the small store and some things I saw in the ad caught my eye. All the produce I bought was organic and it was pricey but that’s what I need to eat. There was some mixed up regular avocados with organic and the grapes had no separation of organic so I stayed away from them. Ad prices we’re miss posted all over but whatever. Biggest issue nothing I bought lasted more than 2 days and it was like over $150 bucks, down the toilet and into the trash. Like I said I don’t think I’m shopping here anymore. Hyvee it is bigger better and most of all fresher!
Read morePros: Small, Quick lines, Some friendly staff

They were not very nice to I was trying to help.... - Edit
I pointed out that the organic avocados were mixed with regular ones and was basically laughed at.... this was not very nice... I wonder what else is mixed up... too pricey anyway and honestly kind of a dirty and messy unorganized store. Make sure to bring an AD as the prices are miss marked all over the store. I would say stay away if you can they do have the bread and yogurt I really love and the kombucha ain’t bad not the best deal in town but hey if you have to I’d say stay out of the produce.... buyer beware!!!
Read morePros: My favorite brands Healthy choice, Indoor maze , Scavenger hunt
Cons: Expensive , Mixed non organic and organic produce , Not “FRESH” check dates and produce closely

Oh Wow!!! - Edit
Could not believe it till I saw with my own two eyes! I think I’ll be taking my shopping elsewhere thank you very much! Goodbye! Watch out for poor quality produce and rude employees who seemed miserable to be fair. Check Green Top or Hyvee... heck even Jewel for a all around better shopping experience from pricing to employees and most of all QUALITY!!!! How do you call yourself “FreshThyme” Absolutely ridiculous! Produce goes bad before you make it home!!!

Be careful what you buy shop at your own risk (Not so FRESH Thyme) - Edit
I’m an organic fanatic and this place is honestly gross when it comes to produce everything else seems true from the other review but look at those pictures guys. Not so fresh at all. Be very careful what produce you buy here I’ve seen organic mixed in with regular pesticides filled produce all over don’t pay tons of money for fake organics. Wow can’t believe how terrible my experience was here I’d give 0 stars for there produce if I could. Gross gross gross won’t be back. Shop at your own risk not fresh and if you are all about organic like me stay away they are frauds.
Read morePros: Friendly , Selection , Healthy
Cons: Not fresh, Mixed organic with pesticide full produce , Dirty

Wow I wish I had read this a head of time 20/20 now but I’ll never be back what a joke to call themselves “Fresh Thyme” more like “We Sell Compost” thanks for the pictures you’re going to save people a lot of time money and maybe their lives

Best grocery store in the area - Edit
Fresh Thyme continues to be the best one-stop shop for vegan produce, frozen foods, and supplements. On Wednesdays they have double ads, meaning double sales on produce, bulk, and frozen, making it exceptionally cheap. Produce is always fresh and I think the best in the area, there's always someone maintaining or stocking it. Bulk mushrooms. Lots of fresh herbs available (it's in the name after all). Huge organic section. They often have Gardein on sale, and a wide variety of all frozen meat alternatives (Boca, other more "natural" ones). They have a wide selection of vegan mayos, cream cheeses, sliced and shredded cheese, sour creams, butters, and other dairy subs. Heido Ho cheese pots are great. Lots of sausage options as well. Fermented sauerkraut. They're located in the first freezer section along the back wall past the wine/alcohol and in their own dedicated freezer. Vegan soups in cups and cans. Snacks intermixed with the other snacks, like Bob's and Earth Balamce puffs and cheeze-its. Awesome bulk section, includes nutritional yeast. Cheap oats, beans, rice, nuts, seeds, and my fav banana chips. Bulk spices available in one of the aisles as opposed to the main bulk area.
Read morePros: Wide variety of vegan options, Great bulk section, Double Ad Wednesdays super cheap

You may want to revisit this store I don’t think it’s the same. Your review is nothing like the store I visited recently although I wish it was that place sounded great! I shopped there recently and only ate meals prepared either there or from there produce and products and was stuck on the toilet for almost 3 days not fun!!!!!!!

Have to say I agree with Rain this place has changed I don’t see myself going out of my way for the few items I enjoy here they need to fix their produce problems or drastically reduce their prices on that garbage sorry I don’t like to be so blunt but kind of outrageous I think
