Truly a model of quality. Were the rest of the world as responsive and warm these guys, we'd be in a far different place... Not to forget, fast shipping and great products!

Thank you for all you are and shine for our world. It is so needed. Can't wait to share you with more people and spotlight your miracle/magic offerings(!) xxB

How much do I like this place? I've been here twice. In a week. Both times although there were…read moredifferent staff, I was greeted warmly and they offered their knowledge in a non-pushy kinda way. (You know that pushy way I'm talking about.) I looked around and got a drink, some of their full spectrum gummies, and some ginger chews the first visit. The drink came highly recommended from the clerk- a CBD drink that doesn't taste like... well... CBD. I was actually considering another one that I've seen elsewhere, but after chatting she recommended what I ended up getting. (Vybes drink, btw) I've tried one of each from those selections so far, and the quality of the goods and the customer service led me back the other day to get more of those dang delicious drinks when I was around the neighborhood. I'd feel super confident sending any friend who was interested in CBD here- from those who already know exactly what they're looking for to those who are looking for the first time. Welcome to the LES, y'all!

Moving to New York, I was shocked that it was still illegal. CBD however, is legal in the state. CBD does not have the same psycho activity as THC. I use cbd to reduce inflammation and to decrease oxidative stress in my body. The store is super clean and sleek. They have a variety of products from oils, lotion, gummies. And even dog snaccs. I was particularly interested in the gummies in which they have a variety of peach rings, water melon, and apple rings in different sizes. The worker was extremely healthy in helping me pick the flavor and size I wanted. If you are an equinox member, you get 15% off as well! I had a great experience and will defiantly be back for more gummies!

I did the granola, almond butter, and blueberries. I also added protein powder to the base for an extra cost but this made the bowl more filling. I love how the acai is blended when you order it rather than being scooped from a tub. You can taste the difference as the acai flavor comes through stronger. The addition of coconut yogurt brings a tang and a creaminess to the earthy base. Their almond butter is ground fresh from the machine which gives it a crunchy and toasted flavor. The granola is a highlight for me. It has a generous blend of nuts, seeds, and dried fruit which bring a variety of textures with each bite. WOULD I GO BACK? Absolutely! I think this is one of the best acai bowls in the city.

My friend ordered the Secret garden juice with beets, grapefruit, pineapple, turmeric, and ginger and she liked it. The employees were friendly and patient. It wasn't crowded when I came in.. just a few people doing some shopping. We walked around the store and I liked that they had lots of health food items, supplements, vitamins, and vegan snacks and groceries, etc.. It was like a grocery store just with more interesting items. If I was in the area I'd definitely come back in.

For $20 he could do a consult on any concerns you want to target and prescribe herbs/teas as needed. Just call 20 min in advance and you can be seen for $20. She spoke good English and said she could be a translator if you come in to see the doctor. I'll have to try this sometime! Friendly staff.

If you've lived as long as I have in Chelsea, a walk down any block prompts memories for what used…read moreto be in any given storefront. That used to be a long-loved video rental! This used to be sweet bistro where many days and nights were shared with friends. This particular storefront is even more rare because it's not a chain and is open late, for the way working folk have needed to live here for a long time. It's not Whole Foods or Vitamin Shoppe (or whatever that chain's named), but a humble spot where the selection of vitamins, herbs, topicals and a few pantry staples probably contains exactly what you're looking for. Ask any of my neighbors what they think about your cough, sniffle or dry skin, and they'll tell you, "Go see the vitamin guy on 23rd." And you should. Because for years, he's dispensed sound counsel to a number of us whose needs aren't easily addressed by either of those aforementioned chains or that chain pharmacy who makes you summon a worker to unlock some dental floss. I'd been recovering from RSV when my husband stopped by the Vitamin Guy and told him about my lingering cough and shallow breathing. He brought home some Olbas syrup and a tincture containing a melange of herbs, half of which I was familiar as a TCM patient for a number of years. Within week one I was feeling great relief. A neighbor who'd been hit with the same condition went and had his own chat and relief success story a week after me, and unprompted, said, "Vitamin Guy saved me again!" This is but one of many ways Vitamin Guy's helped me, my husband and many neighbors over 18 years. Go see him the next time you're wondering what you can do about whatever's ailing you; he probably has some sound advice to share, and you'd be keeping the lights on amid the many otherwise darkened storefronts that don't exactly inspire confidence around greater Chelsea.

It's a small shop, but boy oh boy, do they have everything you need. The owner is a lovely man who knows every single thing about every single item in his shop. He steered me towards the best quality products, and steered me towards deals between two brands that had the same quality product (the more expensive one was the one I came in for and I'm thrilled he told me to buy the cheaper one--same quality just slightly cheaper--because he could've just let me buy the pricier one!).
