I always stop by and get vegetable. always fresh and the price wasnt bad at all. Can be too crowded sometime but never become a big deal.

I have a love hate relationship with this store I love it because –it still manages to surprise me with all the goodies it has, Israeli cakes, Russian bread, polish candy, caviar and fresh napoleon in one trip. the variety and selection cannot be beat by any other store, inducing WF and marianos –good prices on produce and fish –it has a lot of kosher items for less $ –if you are a former European, come here –nostalgia about the former homeland I hate this store because –sometimes or often the produce is not that fresh –the prepared foods sometimes taste«interesting»(i suspect its because they are past their prime” –the other customers can be rude, but I think you can file this one under nostalgia. Go, but be picky.

I buy produce from this store about 2 – 3 times a month. This has happened before but I bought non organic roma tomatoes that were on sale for 79cents a pound but when I checked the receipt later, it was entered as organic at $ 1/lb. I bought only about 2.5lbs so my loss due to this error was only about 50 cents so I’m not going to bother going back to argue. But just imagine if they do this to other customers as there are so many. That’s a lot of extra $ and like me, most would not bother questioning a small erroneous charge. It’s purely an assumption on my part but I have a strong hunch that this is done intentionally. I mean how does a cashier just determine they are organic when there’s no sticker on them? Hmmm…

Love this place. Fresh ! Produce. Great selection and prices. Foods from all over the world. Always Fresh well stocked. Incredible bakery and prepared foods. Just come and visit. It’s a great tour. Plenty of cashiers for easy checkout. You don’t need an interpreter although you hear many languages spoken. Been coming here for years.

They have a great selection of international goods. However prices are a bit high. Would recommend this place.

Big clean store with off the beaten path items like good veal hot dogs, salami, real slim jims, and great smelling bakery. Prices are decent and nice big parking lot.

My favorite grocery store. Everything is always fresh and the cooked food in the deli reminds me of meals my mom would cook for me! European for sure. The prices here are always great too.

This place is ridiculously crowded and everyone is rude here. It has a great diversity of food that looks delicious, but all the hundreds of people in there are either pushing you out of their way or telling you to move. No please or anything. The customers make this place bad. But they had a nice little café up front with sandwiches, salads, sushi, and gelato.

Fresh farms have the rudest cashiers! Although they have very good fresh bread, good chocolate chip cookies and nice roses.

This store has been here for so long. I have been a customer for many year. Their food is always fresh. So many selections for every taste. My place to shop even when its late. Love it. Gelatos and juice bar is a must try. Only down is the parking its always full.

I love going here for select things. They have the best fish market anyway for the price in the whole area. That said if you want them to filet the fish they do a very poor job. Their selection of fresh breads are amazing. International packaged foods — Great!!! Would like to see a lot more organic and refrigerated organic. Love the Gelato and Juice bar. This place is always clean and sparkles. The bathrooms are amazing. Cleaner and better than any grocery store that I have been to. This is one of my three stores, Trader Joes and Whole Foods. I wish that it had more organic and bulk organic would be great to. Still that said — I will keep coming. This store is gorgeous!!!

Nice store, good service. But some of products OUTOFDATE !!! Found mold in wrapped candy«Sufael». Less than 5 month ago i got«Russian Sgushenka». That was terrible smell and color when i open it. Looks like store does not have storages with temperature control or they bought cheap and out of date products

I like this store. What I would like is not to have cheese slices layered in paper and pay for the paper.

I’ve been coming here every Saturday morning for my weekly grocery. The food is decent selection and they try to have everything for your dietary needs mike gluten free, organic and etc. Their organic oroduce needs more work, as the selection is limited and what they have here is not the best and freshest quality. The reason for 3 stars is that their cashiers are awful!!! I’ve never gotten a smile, a hello, a thank you from them in a year that I’ve been coming here. Isn’t that just common courtesy??? The coffee bar they have at the side of the store is good though. Its Peets coffee and they are friendly and have decent coffee. I haven’t had their juice so I can’t say how good that is.

The food is amazing, place is super clean and smells great. I love the juice/sushi bar and the sea food counter. The people behind these two areas are great. Super attentive and nice to talk to. Now why i gave them a 3star. The meat market!!! Sometimes i sit for 10 min waiting for service. The butchers are right there… Why dont they look up? Terrible service. FF fix this!

Always packed!!! Parking can be a pain, but the international goods available are awesome! You must hit the deli counter and check out all of the different ethnic food aisles. I find things here I can’t find anywhere else!

The produce is fantastic quality. They have a great selection of very high quality produce, and the prices are fantastic! I have always found everything I could want and then some here. The meat and fish are also great quality, and reasonable priced. There is also a great deli and bakery. They also seem to have a pretty wide selection of packaged goods from other countries — so it could be a good place to find some items you won’t always find elsewhere. The only minor drawbacks can be that: — Parking is pretty limited for a store that is always super busy, so keep that in mind if you head over on a busy day. — The store layout is a little tight, and some of the other shoppers seem to think a demolition derby is appropriate for a grocer — so I’ve taken a cart or two to the shins and whatnot. This has become a near weekly stop to stock up on produce for us — I suggest you check it out.

I swear I felt like I was lost in Europe! I have never seen so many different types of cheeses, meats, candies, and dairy products in my life! They had wall-to-wall of different types of cheeses and other deli products. I am an avid fan of oliviyeh(pronounced oh-liv-yee-ehhh) salad(it is a Ukrainian potato salad) and I’ve had really good Oliviyeh at my best friend’s house(she isn’t Ukrainian but her grandma makes the most amazing oliviyeh). I tried Fresh Farm’s oliviyeh salad and I was pleasantly surprised– still not as great as her grandma’s but better than other market salads. Minus one huge star for huge lines and feeling like everyone and their grandma was shopping today! It felt claustrophobic and we had to wait 15minutes just to buy food from the deli section. They also have a gelato and sushi bar on site! They had so many different flavors from hazelnut to melon or «melone» haha :) I had the pistachio gelato and it was fantastic! Perfectly creamy and delicious– went great with the tiramisu(get a piece!) They sell it by the cup as well as by the quart! It’s 5.99 for a quart and boy does that quart go fast! All in all a great one-stop shop for groceries and Eastern European deli foods. :]
