Not sure why this place is so poorly rated? They have a great selection, they seem to have a little bit of everything. And my guess is the smaller sizes are for the school students just to save space. The food that they make there, the hot stuff, is absolutely awesome! The vegetarian Friday egg pretzel bread breakfast sandwich was off the hook! Probably one of the best we’ve ever had.Sure, this place is probably a little bit overpriced. But hey, the school is right nearby so it’s called capitalism lol but everybody’s friendly enough in the selection is fantastic and the food is very very good.
I ordered grilled chicken sandwich on a brioche bun from their kitchen. The sandwich was made to order. I ate it right away at the table outside the store. The chicken was very strange consistency (overcooked) and the cook put so much sauce that the bottom of the brioche bun became soggy and fell apart when I tried to eat the sandwich. Very disappointing experience.
WAAAAAAAAAAY tooo expensive for the VERY limited variety. Im not an undergraduate student, BUT I'M a local resident of the University Circle Location. Only reason this "Grocery store" doesnt receive 1 star is because they chose a good location, within walking distance within the circle and The quality is there..... HOWEVER, the food selections AND portions Are WAAAAAY too small, NOT cost-efficient, and those of us who live in the circle are being exploited!No basic needs will be found here either (no batteries, canned fruit, no large portions of frozen foods)......Soooo, This can NOT be your main souce of grocery shopping unless you want to spend $7 on an extra-small bag of frozen potatoes or $4.50 on a SMALL CAN OF TUNA! #TopNotchEXPLOITATION ..... Maybe, they dont have an abundance of food vendors? ?
The prices are just insanely high for a lot of the basic produce. Constantino's was expensive too but at least had a larger selection of cheaper items available. Plum, on the other hand, is just unaffordable.
Plum Kitchen has been truly the biggest blessing in our extended stay here in Cleveland. We have been able to find everything we need at this store from fresh produce, yogurt, hot coffee, canned goods, candles, cards and delicious healthy meals. The staff is incredible! They have gone above and beyond to take care of all our needs. From Shaundra at the front of the store to Adam and Len in the Kitchen. They have not only provided us food and groceries but kind encouraging words, hugs and prayers.
If your claiming that the prices are reasonable then you must well off. It's called a difference in income. With 3 colleges surrounding this store the majority of their target market is college students most of which work part time jobs for $10 an hour. You'd think that the marketing and pricing team for Plum Market would realize that their prices are unaffordable by now but sadly they don't despite the vast amount of 1 star reviews that they have. Society is the thing that we are living in but some people are too blind to the plights of those less fortunate than they are.
Lovely atmosphere and a great selection. I love eating lunch at the kitchen as it is always fresh and delicious. I recommend stopping in any time you are in the area!
Nice cafe offerings, great hot & prepared foods, very delicious, nice beer/wine selection. A nice spot for University Circle
I love this grocery store. It's well lite with a sitting area that functions like a Cafe. It has all the modern amenities that people expect from a grocery store. It has an excellent wine selection similar to it's predecessor at the same location. It doesn't have deep selections but still does well with limited space. Plum is a little pricey and don't forget to leave your EBT card at home. The restrooms are clean. A definite plus!
The prices at this store are just ridiculous. I honestly don't know what demographic Plum Market is targeting here. For a student, or hell even just a regular working person, the prices there are a bit much. I give one star for the location on campus... also it is a health foods grocery store I guess but those are the only pros in my opinion.
