Reviews of FreshChoice Merivale

Great range of fresh fruit and vegetables. Nice range of coffee as well! Shop is full of awesomeness staff!

Fresh Choice supermarket in Merivale, its very special, there have many different kinds of salads in the cabinet, very fresh. Also there have some special staff that you can't find in other supermarkets.

As with other Fresh Choice supermarkets, this one has a great wine area, with a good range of wines otherwise unseen in most other-branded supermarkets. Also, the deli area is massive with a wide range of tempting product. The store itself is a tad on the expensive side but that's not unexpected - nevertheless there are bargains to be had.

Great layout, some prices were a dollar more than other super markets eg crackers on special at merrivale 4 bucks and elsewhere 3 bucks So what's to go

Lots of parking, best meat in Christchurch and the section at the back of the store has a lot of hard to find international items. . .great store!

Can tend to be a little overpriced but its good for smaller shops if you live in the Area, had some annoyences of the staff closing 5-10 mins before the schecudled time but not more than once or twice in my year of visiting here. Overall a great supermarket with helpful and ethusiatic staff!

Premium supermarket in Suburb of Merivale. Good customer service. Good bakery, butchery section. Very well presented products. They also got a great selection of international and local premium wines.

Great range in this Supermarket. Deli salads are delicious & very fresh.

Always well stocked. Helpful staff.

Well set out supermarket, a wide variety of goods. Very high customer service, wonderful deli selection and a very high standard butchery, helpful staff in both areas. A preferred supermarket to visit often

Staff are excellent with their customer service skills. Delivery service is top notch

Fantastic super market.. had a great coffee from friendly barista at start. The deli has fabulous selection of freshly made salads and other treats. Highly recommended shopping here..

Great store. Lots of interesting things.

Amazing range of local products and helpful, friendly service!

I had an incredibly annoying problem and no supermarkets would help me except Merivale Freshchoice. I have been looking all around Australia for Sam's Oats and they were all sold out. I found there were some available in this NZ store and gave them a call. Each interaction I had with them was respectful, helpful and concise. Over a couple of phone calls and emails I was able to get an order for exactly what I wanted. I was amazed at the customer service and how well the staff communicated, everything was smooth! I cannot praise this supermarket enough for taking on this unreasonable request! Thank you!

Good variety of products, people like Manu make this store like a family store. Manu goes out of the way to order in products for the customers, Fresh Choice lucky to have her on staff, she keeps the place organized, friendly, welcoming always a pleased to see the customers 😀

Great wine selection and helpful staff

Excellent variety! Some great prices in the meat section. I would love to try something from their dry aged meat see selection.....

What I like about this store is the great range of products they have. Their international section is huge with some really interesting products. Staff are very helpful, but it is considerably more expensive than their Progressive counterpart Countdown. If your looking for a certain ingredients or more exotic foods then you should pay Fresh Choice Merivale a visit.🧀 They have a great range of Sujon berries.

Great deli/produce/meat/cheeses, comprehensive international and specialty foods, excellent wine selection. Bonus: a nice florist in the entrance if you've got $$$

Love shopping here staff are extremely friendly too.

Usually not to crowded. A great local supermarket with friendly helpful staff 👍

Very helpful staff, good selection of products but some aisles are not mobility friendly due to columns in the centre.

Love this supermarket. A little more upmarket than others, fab selection of everything, well presented

First time shopper. Very impressed.

Amazing supermarket. Best I have ever been to. Has everything... such awesome quality deli, food and products. Great experience and fab coffee at the booth at the front. Wonderful wine selection too!

Good choice of products. We also had some items from the deli. Pasta salad was very good. Pumpkin salad was a bit bland. Could use some spices. Vege lasagna was a miss. Potato does not belong in a lasagna! Tomato sauce in it was a quite sour puree. Very friendly staff. Quality wines for good prices.

What a great selection of food items- fresh produce looked amazing, their choice of ethnic food was well laid out and labeled easy to find 😋 Wine choice was great.

Best range and quality choices with food. Exceptionally good value AND quality for money over any other competition. Only thing I could pick on is they don’t have much in the way of bone-in cuts of lamb, beef or goat. I have saved so much money here. If you go anywhere else you are paying over retail price for your food and it’s possible the quality won’t be as good. Worth driving out of your way for.

Great variety of luxury goods.

Very clean, and well presented. A wide range of groceries for a Fresh Choice. Everything easy to find, friendly staff and lots of convenient parking at rear off Officer Street.

Best supermarket in Christchurch. Best deli. Best wines. Best choice for international. Bring your wallet and dress smartly like the locals or the security guards will look you over.

What an excellent super market. Wine and booze dept great Vegetable area so fresh and well presented And the staff were pleasant and helpful. I wish I lived a bit closer I would shop there more often

Well laid out and stocked. Clean. Check staff efficient and friendly

FreshChoice Supermarket Merivale is in Merivale Mall one of smaller, boutique malls in Christchurch, There are some really nice stores very upmarket brand-name retailers, the mall is always very clean and very visually appealing FreshChoice Supermarket has one of the best deli, bakery, fresh fish and meat displays you will find. Large selection of Asian foods wonderful wine selection too. Large parking at the back

Very nicely revamped in 2018 as part of the mall revamp project. Reasonably priced produce and goods. Great location in the centre of the mall, easy access from any part of the mall. Florist is located right at the check out, very well presented with beautiful flowers.

I like this store as it is small and friendly. There is a good range of products.

Wow, what to choose! So much delicious looking fresh foods - I didn't know what to pick.

Great selection of groceries.

Quick to get in, a lot of variety and great staff.

Beautifully presented supermarket but don't expect any bargains here.

Easy parking. Big selection of everyday produce but also a huge selection of international and specialty goodies. Great for gifts. Lovely fresh produce. Not much organic vegetables unfortunately.

Max retail prices in an affluent area, they know you cant be arsed going up to northlands ,but has finally had a modern fit out. Some of the 'specials' had an insulting 1-cent saving upon closer inspection of the shelf price underneath the 'special' shelf ticket. Beware renting a rug doctor, the service desk supervisor made me pick tiny carpet hairs out of the brush head in front of puzzled customers with an razor sharp old fishing knife and a knitting needle before returning my deposit, a humiliating experience considering we had already cleaned it to better than when we picked it up. Genuinely awesome friendly minimum wage staff and an eclectic international food selection. Unintentionally comedic store detective would benefit from some dollar store groucho glasses to complete her look.

Good for those things you cant quite get in other supermarkets. Great range of craft beers and wine.

Nice super market very well presented wat I've seen Thankyou For everything Fresh choice merivale😊😊🙏🙏

A pleasure to step into & cruise the beautifully presented, delectable deli area; fruits/veges very fresh; Vegetarian choices; amazing selection of wines from some of the worlds popular wine regions.

Mid rating due to the need of a face lift. I understand it is tied up in insurance and such post earthquake. I love their beer and wine selection. Brings me in on every visit to Christchurch.

Awesome range of specialty goods.

For hard to find and unique food items Merivale Fresh Choice is outstanding

This supermarket has been renovated and upgraded since my last visit. Well laid out, nice deli, large international and wine departments. Recommended.

Absolutely brillant. Great range of products great service and easy negotiable store. Well worth a visit.

Bright cheerful place. There is plenty of variety on the shelves and a wonderful deli section and prices are not too bad either. If you are a coffee feind, try their coffee situated right inside the shop, the smell is devine. They could do with a bigger shop as the aisles are abit narrow. Situated inside Merivale Mall, the carpark is at the back of the mall.

Excellent staff, exquisite range of speciality foods. Upmarket. Slightly pricey, but occasionally has better discounts than the more mundane chains.

Convenient location, beautifully presented, but expensive.

A beautifully presented shop. We are from out of town and very impressed. Well done.

Probably one of the best supermarkets in ChCh. Lots of things you can get that most other supermarkets will not have. Plenty of parking. If you like products that are healthier such as no glucose syrup etc

Fabulous shop, incredibly helpful, accommodating community orientated staff. Thank you so much for your support

Great selection of international food, good veriaty of drinks, etc

Great selection of beer

This supermarket is fantastic. Amazing deli. Superb meat and great wine. Well worth a visit.

A great range of beers

Beautifully presented fresh produce, meat and deli sections are stunning very good assortment of international foods

It was a good first experience shopping at Fresh Choice and found their prices were reasonable only negative some of their food ailes were a bot dull looking compared to their bright and fresh looking fruit and veggie section.

I really enjoyed the visit to Fresh Choice Merrivale. Lots of lovely items in the deli and good specials throughout the store. Very happy shopper.

Unfortunately the Belgium biscuits, baked at Rangiora bakery were extremely dry and unpalatable. Had to throw them out. Salmon very expensive too at $59.50 a kilogram.

Always a nice change to see what other food markets have. I enjoy visiting and never leave empty handed. Customer service is excellent

Best Freshchoice I have visited yet, clean and extremely well presented

Love this deli. Great service. Great variety of salads.

Fantastic deli and bakery. Great staff

Amazing range of unique christmas treats. Fantastic deli. Wonderful service

Great selection of goods in the deli. Everything fresh

Good shop

Love the deli, great for when youre too lazy to cook tea, like me 😊

Very friendly staff. Clem was chatty and engaging.

One of best supermarkets in Christchurch. Almost guaranteed to have what I look for.. International items.. Spices.. Beverage etc

Love your deli. Lay out and staff are always friendly.

Since the update to the mall this Freshchoice has been good and has everything you need and a bit more.

I live in Auckland and no where is there a supermarket with the amazing extensive range of gluten free and confectionary goods, not new world Victoria park nor countdown Ponsonby which are the best stores in Aucklsnd for gluten free goods. Fresh choice merivale is nothing short of the best supermarket in NZ in my opinion, I have to stockpile goods to bring home but they never last long. GF cream puffs, sausage rolls, pies, biscuits galore, Finns fudge, queen Ann chocolates, Jon Jon cookies, alff bakery goods.

Good selection but cluttered

Nice new supermarket, sum prices a tad on higher side, can not fault selection or the friendly faces, very good experience.

Nice clean and clearly laid out store found what I needed easily 🙂

I am disappointed that their prices are higher than anywhere else. The shop looks old too even though things gmhave been done to it.

Nice wee supermarket 👌

Very nice selection of more specialised foods (e.g. gluten free). Supprisingly diverse selection for a smaller supermarket.

Nice small supermarket, just shocked how limited and expensive, maybe it's all me since I just came back for a visit after twelve years living in the U.S. Happy to see same old Merivale Mall and bring back old memories when I attended Rangi Ruru.

Quite pricey but has a good range of items not available at most supermarkets. It has a classy feel to it.

Nice deli here, bit cramped otherwise. Staff are friendly and helpful

Really good selection and very clean, great place, friendly staff

Lovely friendly staff. Good prices

It would be nice to buy a can cheaper then $2 though

Awesome!. Choices of deli salads was next level... Amazing.

Great supermarket for deli and specialty items

Nice small supermarket with a variety of organic food and different brands of goods that cant be found in the bigger chain supermarket.

Great supermarket, although they have run-out of hobnobs today 😬

Good clean store and a great range of products that you can buy.

Nice clean and organised

this place really rocks. fresh choice, where fresh meets local

Wonderful staff... l live miles away, but LOVE shopping there...

This undoubtedly is the best looking deli/bakery/ butcher/seafood i have ever seen. Also the staff were amazing

A lot easier to find stock. well laid out staff very welcoming.

Really excellent range of groceries with interesting imported foods too. Service is only weak spot or would have given it a 5 star

Newly renovated , good prices and a wide selection of unusual products along with the standard ones.

Great selection of gluten free here.. actually one of the best places to shop

This is a smaller supermarket but it is loaded with so much choice! Amazing wine and beer selection.

Rikki and Juliet were super helpful and very knowledgeable!

Salads there were lovely. Also when you buy salmon its always wrapped up beautifully for you.

Bit pricey but you would expect this at Medicare anyway

Excellent selection of salads and take out food.

Clean, well set up and bakery was yummy 👍👍👍

Pricey and most of the time low on staff, but good stock and easy car parking.

In, got what I needed out 5 minutes max

The 'range' of salads @ the 'deli' are good with variety, shelves are well stocked.

Its a expensive supermarket.

It's pricey but quality selection of premium products generally.

Great supermarket with butcher in store. Great fresh bakery and selection of fresh fruit and veg.

Its good super market available in Merival side. Almost all items available which we use in our daily base life.

Lots of new or different foods can be found bere. Big fridge of cold drinks ready to go, with lots of variety.

Same food you find in other supermarkets, but here cost about 25% more.

Nice Grocery store. One point deducted since it was hard to find. Have to enter the store through the shopping mall.

It's expensive and no prices in the deli. Went to get some salads and $11 for a med salad.

The store looks amazing. I love the paper bags for friut and Veges.

Well laid out very pleasant staff

Amazing variety I'm blown away with so many choices they have to offer.

New Fitout looks great easy supermarket to get in and out of quickly and lovely staff.
