Small town college grocer that welcomes the public to shop with them- fantastic! This market offers the most vegetarian and vegan products I've seen in a single store. While my diet is not specific to either, the Village Market has been a great place to find many health food items, Mennonite produce, and bulk dry goods. I personally love shopping here for their pre-made foods such as their sandwiches and veggie sushi along with the various maple syrups and baked goods. Just be sure to check expiration dates on items. Sometimes, checkout lines can be long and not move too quickly, but service has been friendly. read more

The Village Market has the ingredients I learn about online at prices that don't break my budget. The staff are amazingly helpful though not every member is a font of nutritional wisdom, when queried about their knowledge, they quickly identify their own strengths & weaknesses. The VM is clean, well organised & a pleasant place to shop. Restrooms are also clean & spacious enough to avoid claustrophobic response. If you are seeking a healthier diet, the VM should absolutely be on your list! Senior citizen discounts on Tuesdays & Thursdays! read more

Shocked to see MSG in their deli Quinoa & Kale salad! I bought it figuring it would be healthy and was in too much of a hurry to read the label. I was wrong to assume. read more

My breakfast burrito only had two tater tots in it. DIABOLICAL. They ran out of biscuits and their tater tots were soggy. Service was mid.

Love the soft serve vegan ice cream. The veggie sushi's are quite tasty too. Great place to find vegetarian and vegan food items to cook. Excellent brownie. A gem on the campus of Southern Adventist University. read more

My mom took me by Village Market recently as she needed something that they offer that her closer stores don't. And I'm glad I got to visit with her! It's a charming, small health food store with a great selection of more natural/healthy products. My mom is vegan, so Village Market offers a variety of products which she enjoys regularly (from the refrigerated section to the frozen section to the other aisles as well). I thought it had a great selection of products in every area of the store (produce, canned goods, snacks, frozen foods, etc.). It reminded me of a smaller version of a co-op store I used to frequent in Austin. Very charming store with great products. If I lived in Chattanooga, this store would almost certainly be in my rotation! It's definitely in my Mom's! read more

Great prices on veggie food! Had my son pick up several cases of Worthington foods since we live in Durham,NC

I'm a flexiterian- meaning sometimes vegan, sometimes vegetarian, sometimes I want a steak,, it just depends on the day. Yes I cam up with this and I hate titles but if I had to chose one this would be it. I absolutely adore this place. From the fresh produce with a variety of organic and local grown options, to of course the vegetarian/vegan cafe. It is a one stop shop from health enthusiast, without taking your entire paycheck. Oh it will take quite a chunk. When you walk in it looks like any other clean and organized grocery store. You will not find a meat section!! I especially love the herb and tinctures. I am allergic to the world and there are so many free options(dairy free, soy free, etc). The customer service is always excellent and since it is in the heart of Southern University parking can be rough at times. Most of my family is vegan and has been way before it got popular so when I want to surprise them with something new, need to make something quick, or crave something I can't have with out paying the high prices of whole foods, this is my first stop. It's still price but the sales are amazing. read more

Pretty expensive place but how wonderful for vegetarians like my wife. She doesn't have to read a single label to make sure there is no hidden meat in the ingredients. I've found the employees to be not very friendly. We were so excited to find this place when we moved here but we hardly ever go due to the prices. read more

I love how close this store is close to my place. I am not a 100 percent vegetarian, but I love a store that has a lot of healthy, organic options. Village Market offers that. If you are a vegetarian or enjoys clean eating, this store would be like a dream store. There are variety of vegetarian food, healthy, organic options and the staffs that works in the store are all very nice and helpful. Sunday's morning, I tend to go grab some breakfast at Village Market and I have liked their morning meal selections. Their hot meals are delicious and the prices are fairly responsible. If you live the in area or is passing through, I definitely recommend visiting the Village Market. read more

The village market caters to every need one may have. Located on Southern's campus, the village market is a popular spot for more than just the students. As the village market leans towards the more natural side of food, you always know you are getting the best quality ingredients. For the market side of things, there is food and variety galore. For the food side, the salad bar is superb, the sushi is always tasty and presented well, and the sandwiches always hit the spot. The hot bar is always poppin' too. Breakfast is served early and always hits the spot for cheap. The variety for lunch and dinner as well pose a nice option if one does not want to eat in the on-campus cafeteria. As well as the food options, there is also a nice place to sit and hang out with your friends, or study. In all, this village market is more than just a market, it is a village home. read more

Village Market - Checkout - Grocery Near Me - Collegedale, Tennessee

Never experienced worse customer service in my life. I came in today to get some groceries and went to check out. At the register, I decided not to get an item and asked the cashier if she could take it out, since I changed my mind. She just said, "Can you put it back?" I was kind of taken aback because I've never seen a cashier tell a customer to put back an item that they didn't want anymore. But I didn't want to make a big deal about a bag of chips so I did as she asked anyways. When I tried to pay, my card was declined and I wasn't able to purchase any of my items. I apologized for the inconvenience and she responded by complaining about how she scanned them all for nothing. She then told me to take everything out of the plastic bags and go around the store and put everything away where they belong as if I was an employee. If she had asked nicely I wouldn't be so upset, but she was very rude. I don't think people like that should be working customer service. The store was near empty so it wasn't like I was holding up a line or anything either. During the whole interaction, she didn't smile once and just looked very annoyed. Overall, my experience here was very negative and I will not be shopping here again. read more

Definitely a great option if you are looking for a wide variety of vegetarian, vegan, gluten-free, and health foods. They also have a deli that serves hot meals, as well as pre-made sandwiches and wraps. Check it out if you are looking to try some new and interesting foods! read more

The village Market is a great little health foods store, that tries to compete on prices with the larger stores but it is is small. It has a great selection of gluten free, vegan, and only vegetarian options. Anytime I have had a problem the head manger is always handles the issues at hand. The Village market is a great place to shop read more

Awesome place for vegetarians, vegans, and people just wanting healthy produce. Smaller selections in general compared to a large store like a Publix, but a great selection of vegan and vegetarian foods. An entire aisle for fake meats in a can. Wow. Freshly made vegan deli sandwiches, hummus, sushi, and more. Friendly and helpful staff. Nice ambiance. read more

I am always a bit wary about shopping for produce at small stores when the goods may not rotate through on a constant basis. I can never be sure how fresh the good are, but, the presentation at this store was nice so I was less diligent than I should have been. The result: I got home with a package of moldy-moldy baby bella mushrooms. I turned right around (a 8 minutes drive from the house I was visiting) and returned them. I found that all the baby bellas were moldy, so I settled for the $.49 cent cheaper white mushrooms. The lasy at the register at first said: "Go on through, we can just switch them." When I informed the lady that my selection was cheaper, they called manager and began to process the transactions. The thing that really annoyed me was next. I asked if they could give me a small, $.50 discount because this had taken me 15 minutes and gas money to come here and shop. She laughed and said no. Perhaps this grocery store, with 3 other major stores within 4 miles, should learn the value of customer appreciation. A small token of compensation can go a long way. When I visit here again in the future, since I do have the choice of so many stores, I will not be patronizing this store again. read more

I love the different selections they have. There are tons of vegetarian options here and they even sell local produce.

What to say about the Village Market. If you're a vegetarian or a vegan this place has to be market heaven. If you're not all into the hippy ways of eating then it's probably not what you're looking for. This is a really easy place for us to get stuff when we don't want to make a longer drive so we do stop by here pretty often. But we rarely make this a stop for groceries. Only if we need something fast. The sales here are just not good and very infrequent. For instance if you like vegimeats then you should not shop here. The product is much cheaper at the grocery stores than it is here, but there might be more selection here. For us we are not super adventurous with the vegimeats so we just get them at the grocery store unless, like I said, we need it fast. The place is always clean though and the staff are helpful. Some of the items out of the deli are nice. Produce seems to be pretty good here. Got to be careful in the dairy section. All the fake dairy products and real dairy products are all mixed in together and if you're not paying attention you could go home with some cardboard tasting "cheese" made of soy beans... read more

Many other yelpers have said it and I will too, this place is heaven for any vegetarian or vegan. They have all your needs taken care of, from yeast flakes to veggie shrimp. This place has it all. Their prices are a bit high, but normally for any health food store. They have a salad bar and hotline in the back of the store. Also premade foods are available (sandwiches, sushi, etc). I must say their sushi is pretty amazing, especially for being vegetarian sushi. Words of wisdom, stay clear of the store around meal times. This store feeds a good number of the college students across the street. Lines tend to be backed up around meals. Other then that this place is a true gem. read more

I love this store it is a Vegan heaven. There are lots of different vegimeat options and great dairy free specialty foods like- vegan sushi, vegan brownies, and artisan cashew cheese. It is on the more expensive side though so I only buy specialty foods here. read more

Love this place! Remodeled within the past year and things look nice. Canned veggie food prices generally always cheaper here than Walmart-and if you happen upon a sale even better! Plus a huge selection! Frozen is sometimes cheaper elsewhere. Summer produce fresh-love the Mennonite farm produce. Graffe family supplies fresh flowers and plants. While I've read other reviews concern on service hospitality, I've always fiend workers to be nice. And the lady in charge of supplements VERY knowledgeable. read more

Worth the drive! Great selection of organic meat and vegetables.

i love the village market. the community it great for the most part, the food is good, and the atmosphere is delightful. i just recently bought some cookie dough that is gluten and dairy free and i was concerned that since it's dairy free the the sugar factor would not be great. to my surprise the cookies were fantastic 10/10. i've had many great meals there. although it is a great place, the prices are very large compared to larger stores and i have a hard affording it sometimes and i end up going somewhere like walmart or food city instead. but overall a pretty great place :) read more

This is a joke of a "natural", "health food" store. There is so much junk food on the shelves! I was there today and was reading such things as MSG, aspartame, artificial colors and other chemicals on the labels. I wish they would clean up their act. It's a poor example of a health message.... read more

Worst place to eat on earth!! The price is insanely expensive, and absolutely not worth your money! Worse yet they charge students through the roof for tuition and on top they expect students to buy their food! read more

Love this place! Great selection of veg. food and prepared foods. A Real gem. We hope to retire to collegedale area and look forward to shopping there often. read more

A staple in Collegedale, a good place to find a variety of vegetarian foods. Not only vegetarian but also vegan. The deli has some nice sandwiches, desserts, sandwich spreads. Good selection of supplements. Prices can be a little high-but honestly if you look at Earthfare of Whole Foods-the supplements are more reasonable at VM. read more
