Harvest Market Review

Enjoyed the staff, selection, and samples. Disappointing however how rude some of the customer acted. I was taught manners as a child and it seemed many of them didn't have any!

Shop here all the time and was not able to have an item replaced that broke because of a ripped bag! Horrible service!

Generally a bit pricier but it is a great store with a lot of options .

everything you could ever want is packed into an area 3X smaller then your average Walmart. Prices are okay, its nice to see paper bags as well. I worked there for almost 2 years since opening day! its a very very wonderful store but trust me the employees are not respected. they are told to do jobs which risk there employment and are not qualified to do. please, if you ever see someone being treated badly, say something, speak out!........... there have been too many close people who were damaged because of harsh words towards them, and then after those rude words fire them. people suffer working there. they lie about pay raises and lied to us about our starting wage. its truly not a happy place to work at so please, make the workers happy there. just give em a tip, $1 or $2 can really change there moods and I would know because there are men and women who suffer from their age and get NO benefits from working there, taxation is over the roof, and its part time jobs only, open jobs get no respect here.

Its up to the customers on how the place looks, make it look good everyone...

Amazing food at a great price. I would always recommend this place as a place to eat.

I honestly only go there for there food. I rarely grocery shop there for everyday items (too expensive). I buy my speciality items there, but primarily go there for quick lunch and dinner options. Great when you have lots of people who want to eat different things.

This grocery store has it all. They carry local vendors products, have a huge selection of organic products, a great restaurant and did I mention that you can have a cocktail in their lounge upstairs before you begin shopping. I am particularly grateful that they carry Wright Family Products, an organic body products complete line. If you haven't had a chance to check out this Harvest Market, you need to.

Love Cooking with Emily! Been getting these every week for a couple months and every week gets better.

I went to Harvest Market for an event, which was very nice. But I give this store 3 stars because the parent company of Harvest Market pretty much replaced a County Market with this store, and the price differences are major. There was nothing that I saw in this store that was reasonably priced. They have a nice selection of items that I'd never seen before, but they are too expensive considering the company closed 2 County Market stores and made one store a discount store (but not really because it's not priced reasonably either).

Great place but their cost on products are 30% higher than other stores that sell same products. !!!!

Special dept staff is extraordinarily knowledgable and helpful. Regular groceries are priced higher than average, but you pay towards the helpful skilled staff

The closest parallel to this store would be Mariano's. The selection here is amazing and has many hard to find items that my friends and I have been looking for around numerous groceries on campus. We'll be back!

Conveniently located and the prices are great!! I would recommend this place if you are looking for a nice place to shop with your family.

Really good place to eat. Lots of tasty food very clean. I especially loved the seafood salad it was out-of-this-world fantastic. In fact all the food will season and very very tasty.
The only thing I have against this place was the bathrooms were a mess. They were very hot also no ventilation in the bathrooms. I was shocked at the state of the bathrooms. Please, try the food it is excellent.

Little bit expensive, but you have to pay for quality. Plus they support local products that you don't normally see in other stores.

Great place to go for groceries, with also a great cafeteria-like section to go to to eat beforehand.

Best selection of bulk grains, spices, and nuts in Champaign and the deli is phenomenal. Good sushi, good selection of hot/prepared foods. You pay a bit more on the "middle aisle" stuff like canned goods, but I would definitely return for produce and meat.

Great atmosphere. Plenty of helpful employees. Lost a star because of the high prices..

Fairly good selection, no Whole Foods, AWFUL bagging (like, I have just started insisting on bagging my own stuff. Tired of crushed veggies. There isn t a single person there that I ve encountered who thinks about how to put things in a bag.) Seriously considered giving 2 stars based on the bagging disasters alone. But given that their cheese selection and vegetarian options are pretty great, and we re in a small town, I am giving the stars back.

Pricey. Please carry organic tortillas! Its a no brainer! Bye!

5 star food food at the deli for lunch and super nice people, so busy though it is hard to hard to do a thirty minute lunch there

They have pie that doesn't have eggs! Probably the first time I have seen in this town!

Clean, large selection and many interesting items. We will definitely be back.

Went there to meet someone and eat. Stood at the food counter and waited for service. Several other employees at other stations noticed me but no one responded. I ended up not offering anything and just met with my colleague. It must have been an off day. The place is nice and clean. The food *looks* good.

Very clean and well lit. Selection was great. Ready to eat food area was great. Coffee bar was nice.

Great product offerings, prices on some a bit high, does offer a lot of fresh fish.

Great store! Loved unique selection and organic. Just everyday shopping is too pricey.

Great produce, great customer service, and decent prices.

I love harvest market, but today I went to try the sip and shop and Katherine was an amazing bar tender but I was rather distraught when I didn t have cash to tip her because your system for her doesn t allow your customers to tip on credit. Please fix this!!

I love this store I love their dinner that they serve in the evening and I really enjoy the breakfast that they have on Saturdays and Sundays from 7 to 1 p.m. every weekend

Window washing fluid splashed on me, the liquid smelled like sewage.

Great quality, ready to help employees, but no truffle powder.

Expensive, but you get what you pay for. Best produce in town. The cooking demos are great. Good variety of choices.

Awesome food market. Great service and products for the healthy consumer. Highly recommended for those looking for quality food.

Treat they employees unfairly. Wonder why it s a high turn over rate. Store prices are too high. Saab a terrible manager employees doesn t like him and the main reason why new employees quit because of him. But the store is nice

Great breakfast spot but would be better if food was delivered hotter.

Awsome very helpful I will shop at harvest market every week

It was clean and we'll stocked. The staff has always been friendly and helpful. Just a bit overpriced which makes it difficult to go there often.

The store is very clean. The personell is very nice and helpful. I will be back to this store.

Very big and completr groceries store in Champaign. Fresh vegetables, fruits and dairies. Organic foods, meat, chicken, sauce etc. You can find basically anything here.

This grocery store is great for all kinds of regular and specialty foods!! Also, this place is perfect to shop if you are a vegetarian!!

I have been coming here since they opened
Customer service is declining fast and now I don't come as often because of it.

I suffered from food poisoning after eating the take out sushi. Horrible experience.

This place is really is trying hard to create a new kind of grocery shopping experience. The restaurant, the deli/prepared food section, and the bulk section are great separations from other similar stores.

As a vegan, I appreciate their efforts to stock a variety of options. I think their produce section looks nice, but feels crowded and doesn't make we want to shop there.

The store had a nice liquor and beer selection.

My only reason for 4 is the prices are a bit higher almost everywhere around the store.

One of my favorite place at Champaign. Very enjoyable for grocery shopping, friendly stuff, and comes with nice seating for eating and studying. Sometimes there are events like wine tasting to experience "American Life" for people like me coming from Asia.

after 1 year:
I come to review this great place and forgot I did a review already! Everything I said is true, one of the best place in Champaign!

Best baguette in town! It started at $1.99 but jumped up to $2.49 very soon:-((. Some other bread is good too when the Bakers are diligent. There was excellent black bread when they opened but the owner of the recipe left soon raking the secret with him. Pity!! Sometimes even baguette gets screwed up there- depends on the crew.
Speck is another rare item that they carry- love it! Olive bar is great. We love smoked salmon dip.
Pricey compared to other stores but has good sales sometimes.

Great place to relax and study above the grocery section of the store. Can grab a quick beer or mule as well. The food here is really over priced, however. Would recommend for a study spot or to get some $6 large pumpkins

This place is upscale but they have the customer service that makes it all right. Top that with they have everything that is hard to find and it makes it a great place to shop

It has a nice selection of items to choose from, with both common grocery items and unique items to buy.

Really great super market. They have a huge selection of organic and natural products. Looks nice and is clean. The front end could use some work. Cashiers would benefit from better/more training. But overall a great place to shop.

Friendly people, amazing service and Love this market !

Various & fresh groceries, but a bit expensive. One of the good place to enjoy delicious coffee with salads.

Large selection of excellent foods, pleasant to shop around, excellent store!

Great service, friendly, fantastic selection of foods; meats, bakery goods especially cookies; gourmet chocolate chip to macroons. Pricey indeed, but definitely get your money's worth.

$$$. The coffee shop is alright. The general din of machine noise in the place is above what I am comfortable with. I tolerate it for short stays. My coffee group tried to use it as a meeting spot but the normal everyday volume level was too loud for six of us at a table to hear each other. We had to shout our conversations. That's no good. I think the all hard surfaces means there is nothing to absorb sound waves. They just accumulate and build.
I like the bulk food section. They have some good people who can help you with various areas of the store. The cost of the groceries encourages me to go to less expensive places for my everyday groceries but people who are happy spending more seem to like it.

All the food here seems to be in excellent condition, and I love the food court area. Wonderful place for lunch or shopping.

Great selection. Nowhere else in Chambana has the selection that Harvest Market does, from foreign cheeses to craft beer.

Nice store, but some of the items are in strange places and can be hard to find.

Clean, well sanitized place but the prices are expensive.

Can't complain about the superb selection. Some items can be a little expensive, though, when compared to similar items sold by Costco.

Beautiful store with so much fun stuff! Prices are a little high.

Love the fresh produce selection. Deli counter has good service

Great place to get freshly squeezed juice and produce. I often make a run there for meat products. A bit pricey but the products are worth it.

Not a customer friendly store. Signs at the end of the aisles are too small. Out of some items and didn't carry a wide enough selection of items I could easily find in other stores.

Love this place all kinds of stuff everyone was helpful and nice

Good place overall, but the salad greens are not inspiring.

You ask me how was harvest market I love it the house pitality is nice the people that work there are very nice God-bless Them all For being so kind to me when I come and shop

Love this place great cakes and the flower bunches are very affordable

Absolutely love this place. Great local farm fresh product. Great cheese selection. Great meat and fish counter.

Not what it really wants to be, but different enough from run of the mill supermarkets to be worth a visit.

By far the best grocery store deli in C/U. Everything is great!

Had a great 1st experience. The man at the cheese counter helped me pair the best cheese with the pepper jelly I bought. Great service. Great wine selection.

I can't say enough good things about this place. The deli is absolutely amazing. I love the fact that they will cook things up for you at no extra charge. Quite the service and always helpful/friendly staff.

The Mexican lime chips were excellent good service good stuff and good staff I will be returning to Harvest Market in Champaign again.

Multiple out of stock items in wine department. Terrible selection of chilled wine.
