Fresh Thyme Market

We just come here for the $5-6 sushi rolls. Best budget-friendly high quality sushi rolls out there, absolutely blows hyvee sushi (which is typically priced at $7-8) out the water.

Haven’t bought much else here so can’t comment on that but the sushi is fantastic for the price point

Very nice store, particularly good produce.
Great deal on sushi Tuesday and Thursday.
Nice deli selections as well.

I love this place. Des Moines got lucky, one of my three most favorite things to get: frozen precooked half duck at the freezer section, fresh squeezed carrot juice and watermelon in summer. I always get the dark ones or seeded ones and I have yet to have a bad melon.

Amazing selection of food and fair prices. Associates very helpful. Love having this option to shop.

Very neat selection of grocery items! Unique selections of meats such as buffalo, venison, etc. Lots of fresh fruits to choose from and fresh veggies to pick from as well (organic too!)

This place and Fareway are the only places you need to go to buy groceries. Great Prices and a variety of healthy food second to none. Very friendly and helpful staff. Highly recommend.

Awesome selection and great produce. That’s way cheaper than Whole Foods.

Very nice and clean grocery store with fantastic selections and fair pricing. Staff members encountered were very considerate and professional. The produce was extremely fresh. I would recommend shopping here and wish it were closer to Ankeny.

Great experience! Everything we needed was found here in one trip!

I always have a good time when I stop here. I unfortunately forget about it too often. Especially since Whole Foods is just down the road, and I have a few things I get there regularly. It reminds me of a Trader Joe's, market type layout. But bigger than Trader Joe's. Similar to Natural Grocers, but with a more open feel.
They have a good bulk selection. And last time I was there, they had nice plastic containers to put things in (if you don't bring your own containers)
They have lots of fresh produce. And more vegan friendly items than average grocery stores. Just wish I had one close to where I live.

This was my first time visiting this store, and I don't think I can go anywhere else. They have the most options for dairy free that I've seen in any store, and there were many things that I'm very excited to try. Definitely going to continue shopping here for all of my grocery needs.

Fresh Thyme is the best place in the whole wide world ! I love working for them and have enjoyed my time with them! So come on out and check out the freshness!

Easily the best place in the Des Moines area to get a variety of fresh produce. Not only is the selection available high quality, but the prices are wonderful. I come here weekly simply for that alone, but I have also enjoyed their bulk area (coffee, dried beans, flours, nuts, candy, etc.) as well the diverse options for regular shopping. Usually if there is a unique ingredient I am looking for on the shelves, I am able to find it here. Sign up for their weekly e-mails to take advantage of the great deals they always seem to have and you'll be sure to save quite a bit of money on your groceries.

Easy to get to road traveler's oasis. Fresh items easy to stick in your cooler allowing you to avoid god-awful interstate road McDonald's, etc. Sushi people: try the poke bowls.

It's a small grocery store and I could never buy all my groceries here just because I'm not the healthiest of eaters, lol. But the staff has always been friendly and nice.
The products that I do buy here, I love. I love all their "bins" of candies and nuts. Their vegetables look like they're set up for a magazine photo spread. They're quite fresh and colorful.
I've never been disappointed for ever shopping there. I like how every month they have a different local charity they donate 1/2 the price of reusable bags too. They're nice bags too.
If you haven't tried shopping here before, you should at least stop in for a trip. Oh, they also give a piece of free fruit to the kids. I must say, that is better than a cookie. Now, if we can just get them to change the age limit, lol.

Vegans from out of town visiting for xmas. We were there to buy a mix of explicitly vegan items and some more common pantry staples. We thought we'd have to make more than one stop and this was our first one. This place had everything we we're looking for including a birthday card. Everything was easy to find and it felt really clean and well organized. Our family that lives here says they like the good deals on produce so they visit all the time. Wish we had one where we live!

Fresh fruits and vegetables at a reasonable price. Staff are very friendly and can provide knowledgeable answers. Also have fresh bread.
This is the only place in town I've been able to find Donkey tortilla chips. They also have good chocolate and nuts in bulk.

Don't like Whole Foods prices? Love buying quality products at awesome prices? Go to Fresh Thyme! It's an easy choice for lunch for me because of their meals and price range. Their drink choices are also really nice as they have teas, juices, kombucha, etc!

Great deals on produce and deli meat. The rest of the store is mainly brands I've never heard of and seem sort of pricey. Not sure if they are local brands or niche type specialty stuff that's probably be well worth the uptick in price? Either way I loaded up on delicious veggies and will be back for more when they all eat eaten!!

Absolutely love the store! Awesome food quality and super-great sale prices. Wednesdays are double-ad days (both new ad and last-week's ad apply). Great selection of mostly all-natural products.

Terrible location! Hard to get to, and the parking lot is in terrible shape. Uneven ground, cracks, potholes, cramped area. Wish they'd open a new store.
