Market of Choice

Wow! As someone who can't eat gluten, I had so many options for treats, meals, and more. The shop is very big, clean, and dark. The light was a bit low, but I still could see.

The staff was polite and helpful. It's totally worth a look if you visit the area.

The hot food bar has so many delicious choices! And the desserts... they all look so good that I want to eat them all.

There is also a cafe and plenty of seating areas both on the first floor and upstairs where you can enjoy your food and debate if you should get another piece of cake.

Four stars for EVERYTHING but price. Obviously when you walk in you realize that you're paying A LOT more for anything in this store than if you go to other stores. But the selection is great. Produce is fresh and a GREAT variety. The store layout is a little weird, especially with the angular aisles etc because it makes it hard to navigate and get around people. But it's a very nice and clean store. Prices are VERY high though!!!

Not that anyone cares about a Market of Choice review, but I was surprised today, and that was a serendipitous gift for sure.

Long story short, Katie has a very specific sex lube she LOVES us to use with "the back door," and for some reason I was having a hard time finding it -- pun very much intended. LOL.

Giving up, I walked over to the deli and asked a young woman for help. She put down what she was doing, washed her hands, and escorted me directly to the aisle. Even made a recommendation.

Who does that?! As a former cast member at Disneyland, I was taught that the customer is King. You never say "no," you never point, you always smile, and you especially give more than is asked. ("Make it magical," is the core mantra.)

Needless to say, I was delightfully dumbfounded with this staffer's enthusiasm and spirit of being in service. And solid recommendation, Jenny!

This place is CRIMINALLY overpriced, but that's Bend for you. Market of Choice, however, does it right when delivering quality care and service to their base. Sex-related purchases or otherwise.

Kudos.

(BTW, the sex lube was purrfect!!)

I would like to thank Kimmi that works in the Deli. She was very kind and helped me make choices. Very helpful.

I love this store! It's not the cheapest, but it has everything that I need when I go grocery shopping. Its baked goods are yummy and taste homemade. It also has a great cheese section, and carries even the most exotic ingredients that some of my recipes ask for. It also has great natural toiletries, high quality produce, a nice greeting card section, unique gifts, and the newspaper! I am so glad that it's in Bend!!

Best name for this place is "Market of Privilege." The most high end supermarket I've ever been in. Puts Whole Foods to shame.
Be prepared to pay through the nose and have a selection of items that rivals none.

My favorite thing about this store is the huge deli and food selection as well as the meat and fish department.
The reason for two stars is because first it's expensive but we all expect that here.
Second and more importantly for me, it's literally 6:30 pm on a Friday night, DINNER TIME and there is NO FOOD OUT! NOTHING!
There's about 9 of us walking around looking for something to eat and staring at each other wondering who's idea it is to remove everything so early.
This place as slipped up big time. It used to be terrific but it's just not anymore.

This is a strange store that somehow is really useful and not bad on prices. They have both kinds of stores. Natural foods and typical grocery items plus a great bakery and hot bar.
Some of the employees seem pretty miserable though.

We stopped in to get a "party tray" to take to a friend's birthday; being from out of town, we figured there would be a selection or an example with an array of suggestions. Unfortunately, neither. Terri came to the rescue when she saw us just kind of standing there, talking about what to do as an alternate. We told her what we were thinking and she knew just what to do: she took the bottom of the wooden "box" a wheel of cheese comes in using it as a tray and then she and Erin proceeded to offer suggestions for a nice selection of charcuterie, crackers and fruit. Et voila: a beautiful party tray on the run! Kudos to Terri and Erin!
