Reviews of Mercato Fresh (Fruit Store)

Moe Seddik

Need more people to work at registers. Good was good place is nice. But when there is a line and 1 person working the register. There is an issue. Especially when there was employees available.

Jamie Holly

Day trip to Chatham today with girlfriend's to show them Mercato's. They have high end quality groceries for down to earth prices. Meat department is packed full with plenty quality cuts. The bakery look out .....as Cheesecake heaven plus many more other choices. Deli is stocked well. Staff are pleasant and very helpful. Must visit if you haven't

Nick Tremblay

Great prices on meat. If you are lucky you can even get rabbit and venison at times but not always in stock.

Kim Mulcahy

Awesome service. Lady at the deli counter is very friendly. Great prices on their meats.

Barbara Hutchins

Su Jin Seo

This store is amazing for their meats Always stocked well and clean

Marne Noestheden

I love it here. Great sales. Tidy clean meat counter and the best darn Sushi ever!!! And the girl that makes it is kinda hot!

Rick Garbutt

I have been going here since it opened. Just to get your meat and poultry is worth the visit but there is always fresh local produce, specials that are great savings and the staff takes covid seriously ( too bad some customers don't ). I highly suggest you go and get everything you need to make your perfect pizza including their homemade dough. Go and enjoy guality.

Donald Polak

Came across this place by accident on a road trip and decided to check it out. We really enjoyed it. Great selection, unique layout and great prices. Will definitely come back when I am in Chatham again.

Cindy Strachan

Great prices super great ladies always a smile. I just love the meat they have there.

Jesse Trepanier

People are rude in chatham...me first attitude and noone walks in the right direction

Kara Lee Lewis

Friendly staff with fresh produce and meat! Yummy baked goods!

Richelle Davidson

Great place. Great people

Jesse Hoekstra

Reasonable prices and usually well stocked and fresh items

Emily Rogers

I was in Mercatos today shopping and I noticed the Security Guard had to explain to a few people to put on they're masks properly. After a year of living with masks, I honestly don't get why this should be an issue. Anyhow, the Staff and the Security Guard are doing a great job and are on par when it comes to Customer Service. They also have great deals and are a great place to shop for groceries. One of the best, in my opinion in Chatham.

daddy o Strong

Nice clean place to shop, got some great deals today. Keep up the good work.

Mitchell Groenewegen

Love Mercato for meat and their veg variety. They have products you can't find elsewhere in town.

sean palmer

Bakery treats are amazing with the cupcakes, squares,cakes,tarts...great deals on meat all week even what's not listed in the flyer just popping in early Is key to beat the rush

JAIME altes

The cakes are outstanding, veggies and fruits are fresh and the staff is friendly.

Ms Mommyofmany

Fresh produce and meat. Very clean store and beyond friendly and helpful employees. Very impressed and will definitely return on our next trip to chatham.

Lindsay

Beautiful store! Would love see some non dairy items (vegan) in the milk area, then I would be able to have all my shopping done in one stop

debs oxo

It was a nice little market. I'd like the bread to be fresher and there are zero vegan options other than the fruit and veg.

lisa labadie-gagnier

Outstanding meats with great deals. The young fella in the meat department on Friday afternoon at 1:30 9th of July was super helpful and so extremely friendly. He was efficiently helping not only myself but another older gentleman and staying very chill.

KC Il

Very basic. Small store, not much stocked. I came around 11am to try their breaded chicken and wedges and they weren't ready. The employee told me they'd be ready in 15 minutes. Then I told him that I wanted to buy white meat and he told me sorry the dark meat is cooking and will be ready in 15 min but then it will be another 20 min to cook the wedges. Bad first time experience. I likely wouldn't go back to their store.

Dawn Heuston

The one store I feel safest shopping at during this pandemic. They abide by what is set in place for health measures and they make sure people and staff adhere to it. Masks are a must to enter. They even offer free local delivery and/or curb side pickup for those who can't or won't wear a mask in the store. It is a clean store with friendly staff, and great selections of most anything you need for groceries. Wish more shopping businesses would run like this. Glad they opened in our city!

Mariette George

Great deli, nice selection of baked goods, a good selection of veg and fruit and the meat section was clean and well stocked. We will definitely go back.

Cecilia Vasquez

Classy place with upscale grocery stuff. I love their sushi

Jon Grandy

Great store, has different products than most stores.

Roger Carrier

This is my go-to meat store. Household staples tend to be a bit more expensive, but they make up for it with deals on other things. Conveniently located and easy to leave with more than what you went for.

The Peeve

Great deals every time I go. I love how they support local produce and meat.

Colleen Siddall

Love this store, they have everything, great prices.

Chandrima Nag

Fresh produce, special mention requires for the meats. Chicken is awesome. We dont eat pork or beef but they look very fresh. Their frozen lamb is amazing. The bakery is very good. Fresh baked sweets n savouries and the lipsmacking cakes are too good. Another important aspect is their ready meals. Soups, salads, whole grilled chicken and small assorted meal boxes are affordable, healthy and tasty.

spinal the king of skulls

Friendly staff great prices

Jeff North

I love Mercatos. Totally unfamiliar with this business until we popped in when we moved down here in April and sat eating half a bucket of their fried chicken in the parking lot after buying it. Super fresh quality vegetables, huge affordable selection of meats. I truly believe they work really hard to keep prices as low as possible for their patrons. Staff is super friendly. Love the bakery choices albeit have to somewhat abstain due to diabetes. Often have my favorite strip loins on sale. Super clean and lots of deals each week. Nice size cakes avaliable. Always a clean, enjoyable shopping experience.

Chris Polley

Limited variety but what they do is good but at a price!

Robert Broom

Great selection nice clean store

Lynne Loyer

The fried chicken is soo good! Usually on special every week for $10-$13

Sandra May

small store good selection of meat and produce

Tom Bos

Great food and selection.

C T Grace

Always great products and fabulous staff

Marie DeSilva Brago

Really well designed inside. Temperatures always pleasant. Not enough staff to help though. Given the.circumstances I understand why. Mercato has pretty much most stuff I need and the bakery department is awesome.

Danielle B

The worker Nicole was extremely rude and unfriendly. Discrimination among people that can't wear a mask.

Penelope Jones

European style food store - what a pleasure! Smashing fresh Bakery where Euro cakes vary in price from $12 - $27 (same as in Walmart) but here no "boxed" flavour - awesome variety plus the fruit, cream, nuts are ultra-fresh ???? Squares and pastries stuffed to the brim from 79c/piece... Tea Time! ???? Generous fresh cooked meal packages for $10 to take home or how about freshly sliced fruit? ???? The cold Deli has a good selection of cold meats and cheese, while the packaged Meat dept has selection and variety unseen in the local food chain stores. There is even a cute food bar where you can enjoy a snack break - (COVID-19 vaccine certificate required to sit down) Mercato has just become my new happy food hunting ground - again thank you Mercato, what a delightful surprise ???? ????

Lisa Mcrobbie

This is a great place to shop for meat!! Sometimes there's good deals but always a big selection. Freshly made deaerts are really good and there are some pre-made meals to go if you need a quick meal

Hasan Al Najjar

Beautiful shopping store has a great special decor.

Wayne Unsworth

Large variety of choices in all food categories. Reasonable prices. Pleadant and helpful staff. Ample parking. Including disable parking. Wheelchair accessible.

Courtney MacDonald

When the deals are good, they're really good! Their to-go lunches are lovely. The sushi is my favorite to grab for a quick lunch, although I'm extremely confused by the use of lettuce in the spicy salmon and crab rolls.. get that out of there!

Brian St. Pierre

Disappointed on my first visit to find they were sold out of family pack chicken breasts advertised in the flyer. They did however have plenty chicken beasts in smaller packages not offered at the sale price. I won't be lured by the flyer again. Follow up to owners responce: I waited in line behind 3 customers and did speak the woman at the butcher counter who went out to the meat isle to confim the shelf was empty. She then went to ask the butcher which took some time to locate. When she did return she apologized that you were sold out. Speaking to your staff was a waist of time.

Tonjah Blair

Fresh produce. Excellent selections. Very helpful staff

Firegaming24

Not bad, have lots of fresh produce. Would get five stars if they had fresh jalepenos as I only went in for them. They were picked though and had none left in the back. :(

David Paradis

Bright and open market-style grocer. Lunch/hot meals counter is great. Good selection of items, including certain specialties at fair prices. Excellent service from everyone I encountered.

James A

Great quality and nice deals on their items. Mostly meat and dairy which I don’t eat and so it’s not really my kind of place. Very nice produce here so I got some fresh fruits at a good price. Check it out.

Pedano louise

Such a wide variety and e everything is so fresh. Prices are very good as well.

James Purdy

Great place to shop roast chicken unbelievable just like Grandma made love their bread for Italian loaf and their meat selection excellent sausages large sausage

Casey Blackbird

I found what I was looking for and then some. Great meat selection, spices, deli and bakery. I'll be going back.

Jason Cogghe

Tammy Jongbloed

Great Place. Friendly and helpful as always

Rose Petal

Great place to buy fresh food.. clean environment and the staff is very friendly and helpful....

Allison Corsini

I shop at this store twice or maybe 3 times a month, I am never disappointed with the quality of food and the pricing. My major compliments to the owners is that their staff is top notch in my books, always willing to help and go out of their way to get what I'm looking for One fella is the meat dept, don't know his name but he has long hair looks like a ponytail thru the cap goes out of his way to get me what I'm looking for. Thank u. Emma is also one of the best, I thought u should know.

frank alexander

I have been shopping here since the store opened driving from sarnia every couple weeks or more I like the store and other than a bad briskett one time that they replaced no problem I haven't had any issues until today I was discriminated against because I didn't have a mask on because I forgot one I was in shopping for awhile and then was told I need a mask by the deli attendant after he watched me stand in line for 5 minutes I said no thanks and headed to check out and a lady I'm assuming the manager brought a mask (in her hand not very sanitary I'm sure she didn't go wash before she grabbed it)and was bugging me to put it on or I couldn't check out so I did because I drove from sarnia so didn't wanna waste a trip but I will definitely not b shopping here anymore I refuse to support businesses that discriminate

Susan McDonald

Clean brightly lit store, reasonable prices, decent selection, friendly staff will definately be back and recommend it to family and friends

Chris Hancock

Always clean, fresh and friendly. What more could I want.

joseph nanni

Good meat good god let's eat

Cecile McIntosh

Good variety of food and clean store. Would like to see other items like oxtail, chicken feet, goat meat. Jamaican herbs and spices, callalou, yucca, yams, sweet potato, Ackee and salt fish.

Sheila Smith

Friendly staff large selection of fresh fruit vegetables and meat Deli bakery and salads

Greg Sparling

Shane Letourneau

Bought potatoes....all were rotten in middle...bought yesturday for Thanksgiving so receipt is nowhere to be found....disgusting

Bill Sprague

Great prices and even better staff

Jo-Anne And Carl Watson

Wonderful place. Great meat even better prices

Sk Ye

They have a couple unique things that the other grocery stores don't have. The cashier person was very nice. She was great! The problem with the store is that they never have any of their advertised breaded chicken nor roast chicken available. No wedges. Nothing made. I've come before 12 and at 4pm. None of the other stores that sell BBQ or fried chicken have none at those times. We bought brownies from their bakery and they were stale and tasted like pistachio. Ew! It was horrible. Where was the chocolate? It was also difficult to find anyone to serve us. 4 cilustomers standing waiting.

Kathy Savage

Love this store, it's a 45 minute drive for us to get there, 99 percent of the time it's fantastic, was a little sad at not being able to get chicken wings, what we went for, only to see the following week's flyer has wings their special. They could have at least had a little stock left on shelves for the regular customers. Hmmm

Melody Anderson

Just love it..always find bargains...

Neal Schoen

I am always amazed at the sale prices for their meats. I use their weekly flyer to plan my meals. Their cold cut and cheese selection is second to none. I try new cheeses all the time! Especially for chefed up grilled cheese sandwiches. All my friends agree!

Damiana Ferguson

I shop at Mercato at least twice a week, sometimes more. They always have what I'm looking for whether it's a full shop, last minute items or prepared foods. The products are always fresh and reasonably priced, but the most important thing is the customer service. Everyone is always friendly and helpful. I must particularly comment on a certain cashier. From day one, she's been the one I've been served by the most. The last few months when I've gone in, I noticed she wasn't there. I thought maybe I went on her off day. Time went by and still she wasn't there. I finally saw her today and was so happy to see she was back. Her name is Helene!! Every time I've been to her, she's treated me like family. She's a valuable asset to Mercato making customers feel welcome always! Thank you Helene for being so amazing!!

Drew Benard

Fantastic. I wish I had one in Niagara. Everything you want, well displayed and excellent produce. Little piece of Portugal ! Yummy ????

Vicki Trudell

I had an wonderful experience with this store. I ordered sandwiches and fruit platter for a grieving family and this store made sure it was delivered with no questions asked. The customer service was amazing during a very stressful time. The family loved the quality of the food and I loved how kind the people looking after our order were.Thank you.

Ingrid Desmarais

Bakery has the finest cakes and assorted pastry. Has a large verity of fresh meats and cold cuts and heat and eat dinners.

Harvey Janisse

Nice store have lots of homemade meals and meat ????

glenn douglas

Great deals on the meats . Rub chicken and beef

Brian Pelletier

Great quality, excellent selection, and fantastic sale prices.

Debbie Elgie

The store is very clean and there's always stock here ,and the cashiers are always friendly

brian romanick

My "go to" spot for gourmet quality BBQ meat/ingredients and creative and convenient prepared meals (way better than take out!). Whenever I have a food question, employees usually stop what they are doing and walk me right to the product or pull the chef out of the kitchen to speak withe ...customer service anyone? (Yes they have chef on staff). Much appreciation for their recent lunch they prepared for area emergency first responders. Very considerate.

Madelyn Alexander

Decent selection great daily sales

Leanna Beauchamp

If you like bargain meat then this is the place to go but you get what you pay for so expect to sacrifice quality. Fruit and vegetables are good quality and friendly staff.

George Z

What a place. Clean, friendly just to start. Fresh hot food that has amazing tastes, especially the sushi!!!!!!! The produce is so fresh I can’t begin to tell you. This place always has great prices and even better sale prices. I highly recommend to everyone.

Agatha Allen

Love them, store is always clean and the staff helpful and nice

Jennessa Lavigne

Fresh product, different selection...great staff

steven meloche

Very nice customer service and I am satisfied with the quality and how much meat you can get for so little

Ashley Walker

AMAZING cakes.....only place we go anymore, at work and at home ????

Patrick L

Awesome store had an issue with a bought item and the meat manager was great i called and came in he resolved it . Very good manager and friendly staff &wide assortment of meats & veggies to meet your needs I'd 150% recommend getting your meat & produce here! I dont go anywhere else for my meat ever!

Wendy Wiebe

Good place to shop for meat or great bakery fresh veges

Jim Angrignon

Great prices on alot of items if you know how to shop and know your numbers. I walked 4km to get the lean ground beef, I was disappointed when I got there because they were sold out. They said they might have more tomorrow. They had lots of extra lean ground beef so I asked the lady behind the deli if I could get some for $2.99 a pound same as the lean ground beef. I explained that it was my 1st visit there and I walked 4km to get there. She checked with the manager and she said that they would price match this time. I want to thank the staff for their compassion and understanding during these difficult times.

Christopher Rebuse

Very disappointed. I tried shopping at this store without a mask (I have a medical exemption). An employee came to bring me a box of masks, and asked me to put one on, to which I replied “I have a medical exemption.” The employee replied, “sorry we don’t do that here” as if I’d handed her an expired coupon, showing little compassion. I am very unhappy with the fact that they refused to serve me because I am unable to wear a mask, despite me disclosing I have a medical exemption.

Paul Foster

Good deals on meat .

Scott Burgoone

Best meat prices available in town

Tracy Pretty

Not impressed lately. Every time I go there to get something they are sold out. Staff very friendly.
