This store is fabulous. I'm really sad that I moved away from the neighbourhood not long after it opened, but I still make trips back just to shop here.
Huge, great selection, and the best prices I've seen anywhere. Comparable to the Noah's at Bloor and Spadina, the same items are often dollars cheaper.
Best health food store I've shopped at in the city. -

This is the best place for anything eco-friendly and/or organic.
The store is fairly big considering how tiny some of these places are, and it isn't just PILLS or VITAMINS.. OH THANK GOODNESS.
They have an actual section at the back with organic foods, a decent selection of soy, rice and almond milk, and a great selection of bath/beauty products or even household goods that are bamboo, eco-friendly, etc.
I'd come here as my #1 stop for anything organic, green, eco-friendly before I'd go to Whole Foods in Yorkville (way, WAY overpriced).
I really like the store and the people seem nice. The drinks section near the front is a great place to sample new brands too (I've mostly only seen them in the U.S.) -

Yay. A clean, well-organized store with competitive pricing.
This place has produce, dried goods, and a bulk foods section.
People who work there are nice. This place is on the new side; I imagine in one year from now, the same staff members will naturally provide people with better advice - through osmosis of interacting with so many different shoppers w/ different backgrounds. I had asked one cashier about whether there was any kombucha without caffeine. She assumed all kombucha tea didn't have caffeine, but we discussed this and she then realized something new.
I'm used to asking very knowledgeable people at either Tutti Frutti and also at Baldwin Naturals, for Natural Product advice, and they are very able to supply it.
This store has a wide layout, as opposed to a narrow one. Plus the floors are clean, and there is neither any sort of off-smell anywhere in the store, nor is there any trace of the moth webs that I've seen over a period of time in the Bulk section of a health store that I shop at regularly in Kensington Market.
I'll definitely be coming to this store again, and I'd definitely personally recommend this store to any of my friends.Listed in: Guilt-free Pleasures (Places…

Love this store! I shop here way too often...
The atmosphere is just what you want in a health food store. Wooden shelving, classical music, and soft lighting. And it's so clean! Way cleaner than some health food stores in Kensington.
The prices are actually really good in my opinion. I find most of the prices are on par with discount health food stores like Essence of Life and sometimes they're even cheaper. (Depending on what the product is). The produce is over priced, but I don't usually buy my produce there.
I loooove this store!! -

One of my favourite bulk/health stores I have found so far. The prices are really good (and I know, I make notes on these sort of things) for their bulk food items (chia, nuts, flax etc), and while they do not have a fantastic selection of produce, they do have a few key items.

This place opened up recently but I haven't been to it till today. I was on my way to the Big Carrot and remembered this place so I thought I'd stop in and was glad that I did.
The store is nice and big with lots of options for dry groceries. They have a big selection of coconut oil, body products, etc., and lots of vitamins and homeopathics if you're into that.
Produce section is pretty decent, and though limited in selection, the food is in better shape than some stores. Dairy section is lacking in yoghurt and kefir. I bought the last kefir and they had maybe 2 tubs of one of the flavoured yoghurts left.
Line up moves very slowly and when it's busy a cluster of people amass in front of the doorway. Service is friendly and helpful.
Prices are pretty decent but a bit on the expensive side. Kettle chips are 2 for $4.99 which is a bit of a sale but not quite as good as in Kensington.
This is not a bargain shop but is a much welcome addition to the neighbourhood. Too bad I'm moving out of this 'hood right when this place moved in!
