The store is often crowded, but it is very organized and the staff is friendly. The ambiance is vibrant and they have a great selection of produce & snacks. Their hot bar is convenient and very delicious. Their sushi selection is also excellent and the sushi is very fresh! I always make sure I get myself a smoothie as well. Their drinks are simply delicious and very refreshing. My favorite is the iconic Hailey Bieber smoothie!

This place has changed! I asked the nice man at checkout when they remodeled and he said they…read moredidn't and he'd been working there over a year and I was like oh I haven't been here in like 10 years and before it was very cool. Everything was organic, even the hair dye. My rastafari friend would buy her hair dye there because it had no chemicals and this store was known for quality products. Now it's a smoothie shop. And I guess a grab and go food station. Yes they still sell food, the fresh fruits and vegetables are displayed very nicely in the back of the store. They do have a great selection of beauty products I was like Nordstrom who? I might've spent longer than I should've in that section. But it was their yogurt section that did it for me because I discovered Ari's Greek Yogurt at the farmers market and they sell it here! So I bought a bunch of flavors that set me back about $40 on my ebt but you know what, sometimes you need to splurge. Self-care. FYI, you can buy a $22 smoothie with ebt but you have to pay at checkout then go pick up. The kiosk won't process ebt, only credit cards. I know so rude. I saw a girl get yelled at for trying to take a picture of the smoothie bar as I waited for mine, "no pictures!" It's not a grocery store, it's a cultural event

I went here on May 3rd after struggling with symptoms for several months and not finding much…read morerelief elsewhere. The process was definitely different from a regular doctor visit, but honestly, it was a really interesting experience. Since the practitioner doesn't speak English, I translated my symptoms into Chinese using Google Translate and showed him my phone. He checked my tongue and pulse very carefully before writing out a custom herbal tea prescription entirely in Chinese characters. You then take the prescription to the front counter where they prepare the herbs into 5 separate bags. Each bag lasts 2 days, and you boil the herbs for about an hour, strain the tea, and save the rest for the next day. I'm not going to lie -- the tea tastes STRONG. Very earthy, bitter, and honestly like dirt lol. Each boiled tea bag yields 24-32 oz. that needs to be consumed warm, preferably in one sitting after lunch. It was hard to drink, but after finishing my first cycle (10days) I noticed a huge improvement in my symptoms. They explained that most people do 2-3 cycles using the same prescription for full results. I genuinely feel a lot better. I paid $20 for consultation + $85 for the tea. If you use the prescription and 2nd time you only pay for the tea of $85. They take credit cards but there is a $6 transaction fee.

He then writes a prescription on a piece of paper & uses his phone to translate the diagnosis. It took less than 5 minutes. Then you go the herbalist staff at the front counters & they give you the pricing for the treatment & you can decide if you want to do it or not. The treatment was $100 for mines & $90 for my moms. They take about 30 mins to prep the herbs & roots then explain the procedure & the process of how to make the teas. Cool experience! Tbh I did not drink the teas and my mom did, she said she felt like it gave her some energy.

Everyone had friendly and inviting faces. There were plenty of choices of food varieties. The food tasted fresh and newly made. When I am in the area I will return for more!

There aren't very many grocery spots in this part of the downtown area so having one here is nice…read more This one is nice because it has a prepared section and grab and go, along with organic produce. They have a lot of similar Erewhon-style items in their prepared food section. The place is smaller but for the area it's sufficient. Their prices are probably in between Whole Foods and Erewhon. Convenient place for those in the area, or stopping by. Prices: $3-$25 Parking: free lot or street parking Dietary: lots of vegan or vegetarian prepared items, smoothie and juice bar, grab and go Seating: they have a seating area

She raved about them having so many wonderful options so I was very curious to try. DRINK There were so many great options I was overwhelmed, but luckily their workers were so happy to help in my selection. I chatted with Bree about my fitness goals and how I was toning/ cutting weight and she made some suggestions. When I asked her what her favorite was she said she liked the Sensual Vibes smoothie. I like the sound of it from the ingredients, and she suggested adding ginger. It was SOOOOOOOO delicious. I will DEFINITELY be going back to try out another smoothie. SERVICE Bree was so very helpful. I told her my goals and that I'd just done a workout and she gave me her recommendations...she also told me her favorite a suggest I add ginger to what I was thinking about. AMBIANCE It was a chill environment but also family friendly. There were some people there with their kids enjoying the place. Also this place is dog friendly. They even had an organic treat for my dog niece Wawa to enjoy!

Everyone is always so friendly here. They always seem to be upgrading the interior as well, and it's small but they do have some window seating along with a few outdoor tables. On this visit, I got the OG Avocado Toast. The avocado was perfectly ripe and fresh, and a heaping portion was served over their toasted olive bread. It's a pretty simple preparation. I probably would have preferred the Mediterranean version, as the tomatoes on this weren't my fave and there was raw red onion mixed into the avo so I wasn't able to pick it out. Next time, I'll have to request it without the onion. I'll definitely be back to try more of their menu items.

I have been here a few times and this review will be on the Rockstar and Açaí bowls…read more The Rockstar is an amazing drink, it has great flavor and I would highly recommend. It is also a staff favorite. I would stay away from the Açaí bowls, they are basically a smoothie in a bowl, and after 5 minutes it melts and you basically have an açaí soup. I am giving this a four star because of the açaí bowls, and they typically only have one worker , so if you go when there is 2-3 people ahead of you, it will take about 10-15 minutes to get your drink.

The taste was just tart and bland even though the ingredient list sounded delicious (collagen, hyaluronic acid, sea moss, tocos, pitaya, raspberry, strawberry, coconut water, dates, rose water, camu camu, rose petal garnish). I guess I was thinking that it would taste more like the Erewhon smoothies where it's pricey and delicious. I felt like I had to force myself to finish it.

They have rows and rows of jars filled with herbs, teas and spices along with herbal remedies and vitamins all at reasonable prices. I love this concept and I love the fact that it's still in operation. I've come here for dried milk thistle, whole flax seeds, chamomile flowers, dried mint, star anise, and a "cold & flu" tea that made me gag at first but felt nice after I got used to the overwhelming taste. So far, I've been satisfied with all of my purchases. My main concern about this place is that I have no way of knowing how long these items have been in the jars and if they come from a reputable source. I also wish that the people who work here were more knowledgeable. They couldn't answer any of my simple questions about their inventory. You're basically on your own and have to tell them what you want and they'll get it for you.

My "back-up" has been the Jones Grain Mill (in the Grand Central Market). They don't cover the entire range of herbs, but have a reasonable selection, and good prices, and are courteous. And this place is fairly convenient--just a fifteen minute bus or train ride from the Convention Center area. This sure beats the hassle and high prices of herbs in capsules...for the birds!!! Oops!!! Now that Management has opted to go seriously "upscale" (and kick half of the vendors out), Grand Central Market is but a shadow of its former self....and just about EVERYONE I paronized--including the Jones Grain Mill--is no longer there. As far as I'm concerned, this has been a terrible sell-out, and I don't plan to spend any money there in the future. Pleasd join me in BOYCOTTING this crazy place...that used to be JUST DOWNRIGHT TERRIFIC!!
