The Fresh Market

The Orlando store (which should be on RB) has a better selection, but this one isn’t bad. Not many (any?) beers you can’t find anywhere else, and a little pricey. Where the charm lies is in the combo of a very good grocery store and a decent beer selection, something very rare in Tampa.

I used to go here when I lived in Hillsborough County. Everything they have here is a bit on the pricey side. But they do have an impressive selection of food. The beer selection is only slightly better than the average grocery store in the Tampa area. I’ve been a little sticker shocked at the prices of a standard micro brew six pack here. So I haven’t been able to get myself to buy any beer here. There are too many better places around town. No pennies spent here on beer. Plenty on the food though.

Typical Fresh Market just like all the other’s I’ve been to. Ok beer selection some goodies in there but nothing you can’t find anywhere else and really not a lot of beer. All the food in that store is really good also.

This particular store is always willing to try something new and exciting! They have some WWS and the new Avery 14.5% Oak aged B-wine… the beer is fresh… I’ve spent a penny or two here.

Like Joe says it’s a nice place to get your groceries and a few beers. It looks like a classic local market but is a chain. Considering the area, it has a good selection of beer. A little expensive but not prohibitive.

Great place to go get groceries and a few good beers. They sell singles of a few beers like Chimay and Duvel and of course bombers. They carry some Dogfish Head stuff and Shipyard. I picked up Holy Grail whilel I was there as well and a few others I had never had. Lots of Flying Dog stuff too. I should probably add that the groceries you buy here are extremely gourmet and of the highest quality. I’ve made cutlets and grilled using only their meats and ingredients and the food turned out great. So any store with great groceries and good beer is a godsend. I’ve made several trips and picked up a new beer every time. That is impressive for a grocery store.
