Fresh Plus Grocery

The best (only) place to go for groceries in this part of west campus! They do have lots of fruits and vegetables, however the vegetables are not always fresh. It really depends on the day you are there! They have a wide selection of groceries if you need some and can’t get to HEB.

The West Campus neighborhood was SORELY in need of a decent grocery store. Although this one isn’t full-​size, it’s the closest thing, without making the long trek to Randall’s or HEB.
Before this store, if you had no car, you had to either bike to Randall’s, or take the #338 bus to HEB, and even then, you could only get two bags, and you had to carry them up that terribly steep hill at Lamar and MLK.
Now, I bike a mere block to Fresh Plus. The inside is very classy and upscale, great décor. The products are comparable to Sun Harvest, Wheatsville, or Whole Foods. They even have a deli where you can get fresh cut sandwich meat! The wine selection is great. They even have Blue Sky Sodas!
Other reviewers have complained that the produce isn’t fresh. My point: the closest place to even GET produce before this place was Wheatsville. So if you ever need some garlic or peppers for cooking, you don’t have to break your back to get them! You can also get hamburger meat and stuff like that here… There’s rarely a line, items are easy to find, and shopping experiences tend to be quick and painless.
And yeah, the selection isn’t everything that a large grocery store would have, but it’s still WAY better than the bodegas, gas stations, or 7−11s that this neighborhood has to offer. All in all, I consider this place a Godsend, and a much-​needed addition to the neighborhood. I hope they do well, because at this point, I’ve become dependent on their services.

How much weight does customer service give at a local grocery store? Apparently Ms. Frankie at the counter has not a clue regarding even the slightest bit of people skills when working with the public. The store itself has great location and nice selections. But couldn’t FP find another clerk who wants to attempt to be cordial? I know this is not an easy job but her responses and treatment do Not represent the Fresh Plus I know.

For the only nearby «grocery store» in west campus, not bad. Friendly service, and they actually do have more selections of produce and healthy foods than other stores in the area. However, most of these are not very fresh. I imagine they are leftover batches. I have tried getting fresh cut fruit multiple times, and each time the fruit tastes very old. Prices are not bad considering this is not an actual grocery store and thus has marked up prices. If you’re in desperate need of produce with no car, this is a decent stop. Otherwise, make the effort to go to your local HEB.

Great little store in west campus. Reasonable prices. They have kosmic kumbucha and lick ice cream, made me happy. Had fun reading the cards.
Friendly staff.

Amazing prices for West Campus on fresh food, more reasonable than driving all the way to HEB. PLUS the staff is super friendly. (Orange Market’s arch nemesis)
