I like the variety of cuisines offered and the imaginative recipes for holiday WOW (like the pumpkin maple French toast bake). However the box doesn’t consistently provide the recipe cards. I collect... See more

Love the food and recipes, but couriers always deliver days late after protein items have thawed. It’s also very difficult to plan meals when items are not delivered on time. Should use FEDEX or UPS instead of gig economy couriers to ensure reliable delivery.

the food is great if it's delivered on time but I've had two weeks out of three not getting the delivery until well after the 9pm cutoff and because of where I'm located I've been unable to retrieve it from the package room before it spoiled. Company has not been responsive in addressing the issue

I've tried most of the meal plans and Marley Spoon is the worst. They neglected to send the steak for one of my meals, the potatoes were black inside, and then they just didn't send a box at all one week! Just terrible all around.

When I first started getting the boxes they were great. The options to chose from were great as well. Then after a few months the ingredients starting getting sub-par. Lots of old produce and smaller meat portions. Also, the recipes have become too exotic. I have gone down from weekly boxes to maybe one a month sometimes 2 but rarely.

The portions are very small for what you pay. We were looking for quick and easy recipes for two busy parents but the recipes were very involved and not filling at all. We have a toddler and were hoping to share a portion with her (it wouldn’t make sense to get portions of 4 servings for two adults and a toddler) Just not for us.

The recipes for the most part are really good. There are some great combinations of flavors that I've never experienced before and this program is a great way to try new food. The downside is there needs to be more of a variety to choose from every week. There seems to be various iterations using the same ingredients. The instructions also need some work...time to make the meal doesn't include prep time and the "items you'll need" doesn't include things like measuring cups/spoons or bowls. I typically double the time listed on the instructions to get a more accurate duration and I'm an experienced home cook.

We've subscribed to Marley Spoon for years and like it as much today as we first did. The website--with very little getting used to--is easy to navigate and keeps you fully informed. Customer service is simply amazingly accommodating and prompt. Many diverse choices of meals and other items. Items are well boxed and of a uniformly good quality. The recipes are well narrated and work well. The meals taste great and looks beautiful as well. Very pleased.
My family is more than happy with Marley Spoon. We have tried other meal prep companies (Hello Fresh, Home Chef, etc.). Thank you so much for your meal ideas, awesome recipes, and fresh quality produce.
Couldn't be happier with this meal delivery. Every dish is delicious. I went from cooking by microwave or take out to cooking these meals almost every night. The recipes are easy to follow and I feel a sense of pride after cooking.
I love the food and the recipes. However, the last two shipments have not been good. The box two weeks ago was damaged and an element of the recipe was missing. The last box was delivered two days late and everything was spoiled. The smell was horrendous!
Make it easier to plan and change and order in advance. Sirloin steak had gristle running through it and tough as shoe leather.

I love the meal kits through Martha Stewart & Marley Spoon. This is the fourth meal kit company we have tried and it is absolutely the best! It has a larger selection of meals than its competitors and the portions seem a bit larger. The recipes are also really tasty. We kept getting dissatisfied and trying new companies but we have been using it for 4 years and are not planning on switching.
Ice packs are ruptured when delivered.

Instructions are not always clear. They sound like a machine wrote them.

Veggies have been more fresh. I really like getting the extras. For example. Meats and veggies and fruits. One suggestion. Ready to make mixes for dessert. Like brownies
I like the recipes and the portions. I don't like the customer service. I live in two locations and despite changing my delivery address, boxes end up going to the wrong place. They are unwilling to refund any portion of a box delivered to the wrong place.
Occasionally, some of the herbs are wilted.

Everything I've made has been full of flavor, quality ingredients fairly easy to make and the portion sizes are great leaving leftovers.
I 100% would recommend Marley Spoon! My husband and I have been using meal services for years now and Marley Spoon is by far our favorite! We have been a customer for a year now and very rarely skip a week. Great quality food is sent and there are many great options. I love the express meals as we always need at least one really quick meal a week. Do not be scared of some of the more elaborate recipes as we were weary of them but they are some of our favorites now! One other quick note, while I have had an issue only a few times I can guarantee that the amount of issues are far less than other meal services.
