Asian grocery stores and supermarkets stock ingredients, snacks and household goods that general American supermarkets often do not carry, organized by category rather than by country of origin in most stores. Produce and live or fresh seafood sections are usually at the back or side of the store, and weekend mornings bring the largest crowds and freshest restock. Many larger Asian supermarkets include a hot deli or food court counter selling prepared meals by the pound or as fixed plates, useful for a quick lunch while shopping. Labels are frequently bilingual or untranslated, so store staff can usually help locate a specific ingredient if you ask. Cash, cards and mobile pay are all commonly accepted at larger chains; smaller specialty shops may be cash-preferred.
Hours are published for 7 days a week. The most common schedule is 8 am–9 pm. Hours in the United States do change around federal holidays and long weekends, so a quick call before a special trip is sensible. The listed phone number is (706) 353-2170. Many businesses also reply to text messages on the same number if it is a cell phone. Its website is earthfare.com, where you may find menus, price lists or booking options.
Its Google rating is 4.2 out of 5 from 428 reviews, a solid but mixed picture; reading the most recent reviews will tell you what to expect.
Athens is in Georgia, in the Southeast, where summers are long, hot and humid, winters are mild, and afternoon thunderstorms and the hurricane season from June to November can change plans at short notice. Getting around Athens is easiest by car; street parking is metered in busy downtown areas, and most suburban businesses have their own lot. Ride-share apps such as Uber and Lyft operate across Georgia's larger cities, and public transit varies from extensive to minimal.

Ate the wings from the hot bar 2 days in a row! I was in town for a convention and the hot bar was a life saver. I can't eat food from everywhere, while out of town, so I was grateful for Earth Fare. Had chicken croissant, cheesecake brownies, tortilla chips, etc... All delicious and nutritionally sound. Thanks Earth Fare 💕

Great to have a healthy grocery store like this in Athens! Solid selection of brands, and a wide variety of produce. Bulk section is pretty well stocked, as is the meat section. It is a bit small (so some brands or items might not be present), but all of the essentials are covered. Worth visiting!

I came in this Wednesday for the first time specifically because I learned about your sushi discount. I was very disappointed to find that only the lower-quality options—those made with imitation fish—are included, while the better options with salmon and tuna are not. I confirmed with staff that this is the case every week. This feels misleading and, frankly, more like a marketing tactic than a genuine effort to make healthy food accessible. If Earth Fare’s mission is “improving lives by making healthy food available to everyone,” then the higher-quality, healthier sushi should also be included in the discount—not just the lowest-tier options. Please consider making all sushi, including the better-quality selections, part of the Wednesday discount. Thank you!

Earth Fare in Athens continues to deliver where it matters most — quality proteins and solid prepared food options. The meat case stood out immediately. Well-trimmed ribeyes with consistent marbling, clean presentation, and visible freshness. They also had London broil on sale, which adds value for anyone looking to stock up without sacrificing quality. The case was organized and easy to navigate, which isn’t always the norm in specialty grocery environments. Prepared foods are another strong point. Pizza by the slice is available daily (2 slices for $7.50 at the time of visit), and the pies were fresh and well-balanced. It’s a convenient option if you’re grabbing groceries but don’t want to cook that night. Overall, Earth Fare feels intentional — quality-forward without being overwhelming. If you’re in Athens and prioritize cleaner ingredients, strong butcher selections, and quick prepared meal options, this location checks the boxes.

They have the best selection of plant-based products—way better than most grocery stores I have been to. I especially love all their plant-based cheese and ice cream options, as well as their Prime Roots vegan deli meat over in the deli.
