    Has a fairly good range but expensive for a food lovers market. Meat is good quality. Needs more special deals because Checkers Hyper competes with them.

    They always have great specials on fruit, but the quality isn't always great. They specifically have a problem when it comes to their strawberries. All the packs on the shelves had black patches on them. This is how the strawberries looked after 2 days in the fridge.

    It's a great store, very affordable but their cashier could use some training on how to treat customers.

    When entering you have the sweets and nuts. Even though on walking in there wasn't anybody there. As soon as I wanted something somebody came to assist. Clean and friendly service

    Food Lover's Market has always been a favourite place to shop for fresh fruit and veggies. But they stock so much more than that, from nuts, fresh baked goodies, dairy products to wholesome squeezed juices, there's lots of healthy products to choose from. Also make fresh fruit smoothies to die for!! There is a nice selection of fresh meat produce at competitive prices. However, last week I bought 100gm of Pecan nuts priced at R29,99 per 100gm, this week it cost R39,99 per 100gm!! The same nuts that was in that large tube they dispense from. R10 in one week, that's not playing fair guys. It's not going to stop me from buying there because I enjoy the experience as a whole. And I DO like the products on sale. UPDATED 6 DEC So, now know why the pecan nut prices went up: it's because when Black Friday specials came along, the price was dropped to R29,99...sneaky but so be it... And now I'm really not happy.... They advertise 5 x 750 Rugani juices for R100, but this never got deducted at the till and we paid full R125 price...again... Not playing fair guys. This is the second time on this particular special... I'm going back to discuss with manager 😠

    Much more modern stores than this one. It has been the same for many years with no upgrading.

    For me it's my fruit and vegetables destination, just around the corner. Low prices. And good service. They are a gem in our society for all fruit, vegetables and meats.

  • 4/5 Johann V. 1 year ago on Google
    The products was nice and fresh as usual, but some of their prices were misleading and frankly very expensive.

    It was good!! Prices today for R10 are absolutely wonderful! Staff were friendly. Car watches outside are a disaster. They don't care a damn. They are not interested in showing you an empty place or are eager to help you with your trolley. When you want to go, they are quickly there to get some money!! No, they are of NO HELP OUTSIDE!!

  • 4/5 Sjaan F. 2 years ago on Google
    4 stars, wide variety of fruit veg and goods with good prices, only problem is inconsistantcy... Meaning they do not always have same products as previously

  • 3/5 tumie m. 2 years ago on Google
    The service from the store is always really awesome from the security at the door the is an overall flow of service and everyone doing the best to serve you and assist in anyway possible in order for you to enjoy your shopping experience in the store. The only two things is that where ever I am looking for sourdough bread It's hardly in stock even if it's advertised you just struggle it will be nicer if this can be looked into or if we could be told when exactly do they make it so that a person doesn't have to drive there 3times for one thing before they get it. The other concern is the water pipe from the big tank where customer refill their Bottles, this pipe has no place to tuck in and hang nicely it's sometime in a puddle of water or on the table it's just a hygiene issue and the manager should look closely into this. The food lovers in Langehoven Park has the same water tank however their water pipe can be hang safely after each usage refer to the image.

    Their fruits and veggies is always fresh and you get a wide variety available. In the butchery the meat is also fresh and of a good quality. All in all my shopping experience there is always good.

  • 4/5 Sonic F. 2 years ago on Google
    Great store, helpful staff, except for the grump at the juice counter. But other wise, I was happy to shop there, they try to keep you happy and coming back for more. Unlike the LHP branch.
