This is a 'must see' it for yourself kind of place!
The store is very well stocked and organized with a unique array of hard to find brands and so many items you just won't easily find anywhere else.
My youngest (teen) daughter recently fell in love with Kombucha drinks and Rx bars (also sold at Whole Foods and on Amazon at a significantly higher price, typically).
She helped me to found this gem of a store by doing an online search for Rx bars.
Since my daughter was a toddler, she's been living a life focused on knowing how to read food labels and how to live healthfully as a Type I, insulin dependent diabetic.
The whole family has followed suit, including my 25 year old son and my 23 year old daughter.
Eating healthfully has become not only a physically positive life change but has also connected us with so many like minded people whom share ideas and information about fun places to go and ways of exercising which are more like playing than most people's idea of exercise (at a gym, with expensive, often neglected memberships and equipment).
This store reinforced (this was my first of many visits here!) my family's focus on health and well being and felt like I found the lost puzzle piece in my/our continual search for ways to look, feel and Be better-our own personal best!
France, the knowledgeable, kind, helpful and gracious owner, greeted us as we entered the store. I'm what I call a 'grazer' (when I eat And when I shop). I like to know there's a salesperson available when I have a question or need to complete my purchase transaction but I don't want Too much attention.
I've found that more often than not, when I go into a smaller shop I often feel a certain amount of stress or pressure to hurry up or to at least not do what I often enjoy, meandering, reading labels, looking for and finding new cool things that smell good or are pretty. I call it the next new thing I hadn't yet realized I couldn't live without.
I felt completely welcomed and peaceful shopping here. My daughter did too. My daughter even went out of her own comfort zone by 'letting me' linger and shop and chat with France quite a bit longer than her (teenage) patience would've normally allowed.
She too continued to look around, and Find, so many of the incredible products on the market (and some I've never seen anywhere else!) which are often very difficult to locate without having to travel far and pay higher prices at one of those mega health food stores.
Don't get me wrong-I still love Whole Foods and very often choose to go there for lunch or dinner as an alternative to a sandwich or other shop/restaurant but this particular store can only be compared to those bigger stores in that they carry wholesome foods.
