Marketime Foods

Cute friendly, neighborhood market. Nice how they have an index card box for keeping track of your coffee purchases. Fresh locally grown fruits and vegetables, wild caught fish and bakery items. Great place for picking up dinner or groceries.

A great well-rounded selection of staples, and higher-end local stuff. Yes, if you did all of your grocery shopping here it might be expensive, but I stop in mostly for the following- The sauces! Such a great selection of local hot sauces, and I was really excited to see they have Kewpie mayo and Bachan's Japanese BBQ sauce.- House-made soups. It's soup season, so I've been stopping in for these for a while now. I particularly love the creamy tomato.- The deli, but particularly the breakfast tacos! They carry tacos by Sunrise Tacos, a great local company. The Mt. Bakon taco is my favorite, but be sure to get here before 10 as they sell out!- Great alcohol selection, especially the beer and cider.

The food is good here, but overpriced, even for Fremont. For example, Califa mocha cold brew coffee which is 4-4.50 at most at many grocers, is 7.99 here. I know market food is higher but nearly double is pretty crazy. I had my niece with me today and was picking up food for my son. I had a time crunch (I came in at 2:40pm and had to be at my son's after school activity at 3, with his favorite lunch, which is a Cubano sandwich . I came to the deli and was completely unacknowledged for several minutes. I looked for a to-go sandwich but they only had tuna, Turkey, and several others. None with the ham & pickles my son likes. After 7 minutes of no one even looking up from the deli (there were 3 guys back there and looked like they were making a salad- I would appreciate a "just a second" or even a quick glance my way, but nothing.) I told the female cashier and she said she could charge me for the Cubano and I could keep waiting. O-KAY! What? For another 7 minutes?! No thanks! The cashier was kind to my niece but if this was me working, I would have problem solved by going to the deli case and grabbing it. I'm sorry, but this clueless and lackluster service costed you guys a regular. And no one even seemed sorry that I wasn't being served.

I LOVE this place! I live about twenty minutes northeast from it and still sometimes come all this way because it's so cute, the people who work there are so nice, and it's an all-around lovely place. Lots of prepared foods in the deli and they feature bread from local bakeries.

I live in the neighborhood and often stop here for last minute dinner or for ingredients I've forgotten. They do a great job keeping the shelves stocked. Everything is going to be slightly more than the larger chains, but that's to be expected. I love their hot soups and grab-n-go meals, but have never found the hot meals next to the soups very appetizing. I love their wide selection of beer/wine/ciders for such a small store! Customer service is top notch, they'll never let the checkout line get long without opening another counter. The deli counter has good options even though they don't rotate the selection much. Lots of fresh veggies and fruit, and a great place to try a new and interesting product. They stock a lot of local, sustainable, different brands and I appreciate that! All in all, it's a staple in the neighborhood!

I want to love this place! It's close to my house and they carry some items I really like. I go maybe once a week but no more!! All I have to say is short guy with glasses ( apparently he's a manager ) this guy is usually rude at best on a good day ! It takes a lot for me to right a bad review of a place but this guy has rubbed me the wrong way one to many times . I'm definitely taking my business some place else! I'm done giving my money to places that clearly don't value regulars or customers at all ! Im fairly positive I can't possibly be the only person who's had a run in with this guy !

A few days ago, I came in to get a breakfast bagel with no meat. The manager was helping the woman who was pricing and told take $1 off because there was no meat and that's the most expensive part of the sandwich. Between that and the coffee, it was a great deal and I decided to make it a more regular thing. When I came back today, another woman priced my sandwich and charged me the same as one with meat. I politely asked her if she could take the $1 off because there was no meat and her response was "Actually, I'm charging you an extra dollar for making it custom." Mind you, there was another woman making breakfast sandwiches behind her... I then watched her take an already made one with meat on it, take off the meat, and then put it in to be heated up. This entire time she was "preparing" my "custom" sandwich, her mask was also below her nose and she was whispering to the other girl and looking back at me.I typically really like MarketTime but that woman is awful. I wasn't rude to her when I asked and her response was really uncalled for. It would have been just fine to say "I'm sorry, I can't do that", or "I'm not sure I'm allowed to do that", or " we have to charge all the sandwiches for the same price point". Here's a photo of the egg with meat bits and seasoning still on it.

This is a to store to get in and out quickly. I like their pre-wrapped deli sandwiches and frozen pizzas. It is too high priced to buy groceries everyday, but for small items that I need last minute, it is great! The wine selection is good and reasonably priced for a small corner store.

I love this place! The only improvement would be dedicated bicycle parking. I'd shop now often if I had a secure place to lock up.

You can safely ignore any review less than four stars for this little neighborhood gem. No, they are not as affordable as Costco but their selection is as carefully curated and sure to be of the same high quality, with the benefit of being a good neighbor. For those of us who have been here for more than 25 years, it's safe to say it's one of the things that keeps you here in a walking neighborhood even as it gets overrun with clueless imports gunning for big bucks and an instant cool factor, while killing what they moved here for.Marketime and Ken's-- what small, local, business is supposed to be about. Thank-you for being our neighbor!
