I like that you can purchase spices anywhere between an ounce up to a couple pounds. They offer a variety of speciality salts, classic herbs and teas, and unique seasoning mixes for any dish, as well as quality tea and cooking accessories (though they can be a bit pricey). Customer service has always been friendly, quick, and attentive. There's paid parking around the building in small lots and side streets. Be sure to snag one of their punch cards before you make your first purchase, you'll be in for a sweet surprise after a handful of visits.

It's been on my list of things to do for a while and now I am proud to have finally come here. The vibe is comforting, just small enough and tastefully jam packed with many incredible options. The dry goods made me lose my mind, not only everything you need from nuts to grains and beans but a whole wall of an herbalists dream and a tea lovers necessity. Even cooking spices and some sacred saps to burn for spiritual cleansing and rituals. Phenomenal staff, everyone looks happy! Really really grateful to have this space open in down town.

I also need to bring some of my Wiccan friends to see all the items for them. While I only took a few pictures, you can find a wide range of choices. Personal care, bath, and lotions. Jewelry, clothing, and hair items. Art work, art glass, and other items to make your home interesting. This small store has a huge variety that change as artists bring stuff into sell. If you have a dry, dark, sense of humor, you will find lots to smile at and for them, hopefully buy.

This is quite an amazing place filled with so much fun and curious trinkets in such a small place…read more We came upon this place because we were searching some specific clothing that was sold here. While they have a very small selection of clothing, it is very unique and worth the drive. We were searching for an out-of-state vendor they sold here. We were not disappointed. We found exactly what we were looking for and more. We purchased some clothing, earring, and stickers, but found many more items to come back for later. The individual working here was super friendly, talkative, and helpful and made our experience here even more magical. This is such a magical mystical store, it has an esoteric awesome vibe. Highly recommend seeking out this store.

Pricey specialty grocer. They have excellent quality produce and some really nice, albeit…read moreexpensive, prepared foods. They also have an exceptional wine selection. They also carry baked goods and various other prepared foods from local businesses like Zingerman's and Avalon. They do $6 sushi rolls after 8pm every night as well as some excellent deals on baked goods (50% off). The sushi is usually $11-15 a roll so the discount is great. It's not the best sushi in the world but it's very good for grocery quality. Otherwise, they (unsurprisingly) mostly carry organic and small-business brands. They have good sales sometimes but even then you can expect prices to be about 25% higher than what you'd see at a "normal" grocery store. Overall it's a fun place to go if you want high quality products but it's not really a feasible substitute for everyday shopping due to the prices. Will go back for the sushi at a minimum!

They have some crazy clearance sale an all these housewives run in. Like literally. I have no clue what is going on til a guy hanging out told me. Think he was trying to check out the pretty housewives. Half price pastries and other stuff. So I fell in to that trap and bought some too as well as the beer I came looking for. Wonderful friendly folks here but Im not going to spend $40 for 3 items often. Got back to hotel n the pastries were not even good. Def not great. Its not for me

Tracklements is an absolute gem. I've walked by it since I've moved to Michigan but it was my first…read moretime trying it. I was hosting a brunch and wanted some good lox for a lox board! Tracklements has an incredible assortment of cold smoked & hot smoked salmon. I opted for: *NORTHCOUNTRY GRAVLAX-CURED - We make a traditional Scandinavian style cure with allspice, coriander, juniper berries, and lots of chopped fresh dill. Less traditionally, ours is cold-smoked over our hardwood blend for a firmer texture, with full salmon flavor and longer shelf-life. *PASTRAMI-CURED - A blend of many spices, paprika, coriander and pepper come to the fore-a perfect combination with the salmon. Both were SO good. But what surprised me the most was the SMOKED CASTELVETRANO OLIVES. Even my friend, who dislikes olives greatly, said it tasted more like bacon to her. Ha. 1lb of cold smoked and then olives ran me $50. Pricey but good value and really delicious food!

I prefer the Crankbrook Whole Foods to the Washtenaw location just because I feel like the store is better kept in the employees are slightly more helpful. It's difficult to get service at the deli counter due to the employees talking or just being busy with other things. I do like that this Whole Foods has a better selection. I did try to call the other day for a specialty product and I was put on hold multiple times and by the time I finally talked to someone 10 minutes later, I was not given accurate information, or honestly information at all. Instead of looking up the status of the product in whatever database they use, I was given a lazy answer. Slightly disappointing for how much money we spent at Whole Foods, but you're going to get the occasional lazy employee here or there either way. I feel like they have a good allergen selection so we keep coming back despite the price , but if possible, I tried to order a delivery or shop at the Cranbrook location.

Good Culture went viral in 2023-2024, driving a massive resurgence in cottage cheese popularity through TikTok and Instagram trends, particularly with viral "whipped" recipes like cottage cheese ice cream. Known for its creamy texture and high protein, the brand saw nearly 90% growth in 2024, with users heavily featuring it in hacks, including bagels, dips, and savory blends. There was a pretty good amount of the tubs left and I was here in a busy Sunday Afternoon. If you have not tried it, do t wait it is delicious creamy no nasty fillers or emulsifiers and the PROTEIN content is high! You're welcome ;)

Either hand. Like I'm living in the future. Honestly, it feels a little alien. Like Whole Foods and extraterrestrials teamed up and said, "Let's confuse people in the best possible way." No wallet. No phone panic. Just me, my groceries, and my hand being accepted as legal tender. The food is great, the experience is smooth, and the palm payment system makes me feel like I should be wearing a silver jumpsuit. Five stars for quality, convenience, and casually turning me into a sci-fi character every time I check out.

Finally stopped in here after YEARS of overlooking it…read more The prices here are incredible, the staff super friendly, and tons of cool Middle Eastern grocery items to peruse. The best part is their deli counter, where you can order sandwiches, grape leaves, hand pies, spreads, etc. We loved the baba ganoush, spinach pie, and chicken shawarma sandwich (more curry-forward than other shawarma I've had in the area). Their falafel is also very good. We're excited to try more of their offerings. Drop by when you're in the area, you won't regret it!

The new space houses a wine tasting counter and a place for their beverages and a few other products. This lets the whole space breathe a bit more and gives for more elbow room during peak shopping times when it gets nice and crowded in there. High five for still offering plentiful samples. Right now we're big fans of the amaretto cherries in this house. Also the extra dark cherries! But honestly I don't think I've ever had anything here I didn't like. Proud to have them based here in MI!
