Food Matters Market & Cafe

"I don't shop here as a rule, but my vegetarian daughter loves to go here when she's in town. I'm always excited to go too because of the unique and interesting variety offered here. Nice staff and lots of farm fresh food. Simply a lovely place :)"

"Had sandwich great Ruben wife said she had the best French dip she ever had. Grandson had turkey bacon and cheese looked great. Would recommend to everyone"

"One of the rudest establishments I have ever been to. I came in a few months ago when visiting my parents in Brevard and the experience was bad then. No acknowledgement from staff even though I walked around a good 40 minutes. Cashier spoke at a decibel I couldn’t hear, but I assumed she said hello. However, I went this past Saturday to see if I could get a bouquet of flowers, much like they have at most grocery stores like Ingle’s or Trader Joe’s, even though the pickings are minimal due to the season. I politely asked a stock person, tall male, medium to thick build with black hair and a bowl cut, working in frozen foods, if they had flowers, explaining clearly I was looking for bouquets or single stems of some sort I could put together. Had he actively listened he would have understood what I was asking, but instead he said, “come with me”. He proceeded to walk me all the way from frozen food to a window that led outside to a patio, pointed, and said “see, um, no, we don’t have flowers”, to which I said “oh, this is where you would keep them?” He didn’t answer but instead, as he was turning to go back to his frozen foods, said “come back in the spring”. It didn’t dawn at me in the moment he was being an intentional a**hole, as I was on a mission to get these flowers for my parents anniversary. Then as I walked outside, got in my car and drove off, I thought to myself “was he being a smarta**?” I realized, yes, in fact, he was. A smart** is one thing, a misinformed smarta** is another. Had he listened, instead of being mad I interrupted his stocking of shredded cheese, he would have understood I was asking for, as I know there won’t be plants or planting flowers this time of year…..We live in a world of minimal customer service nowadays and I’ve adapted. However, egregious intentional rude behavior is unacceptable. Clearly management accepts this type of behavior, as I can’t imagine with his lack of manners this is his first unnecessary interaction with a customer. What a little jerk. I hope you get better Food Matters. Of course, it won’t matter to me, as I won’t be back."

"I like all the vegan options at this store. The cashiers are very nice. The store is clean and parking is easy."

"This is a really fantastic market and he's really kind of person that looks for good quality food or ingredients is your only option for like 20 miles. Especially if you have any food limitations as far as allergies or even just being a vegetarian. Very few restaurants in the area even carry vegetarian options. Even the restaurant at this facility doesn't really carry many options prepared. On the plus side this store will has literally anything you could need. And they're all very good quality products. Definitely not the cheapest place but that's normal for stores like this. I wouldn't say they're out of line with other prices we normally see even when we travel to Vermont. The staff is very friendly very helpful and will greet you. Basically this has something for everyone, highly recommend."
