The best thing about NG, 100% organic fruit and veggies. You don't have to cipher through to find…read morethe organic veggies and fruits you need like you do at most grocery stores. The store itself is extremely clean, well kept and the staff is helpful. I am sometimes disappointed they don't have certain brands or flavors ( Mikey's regular flavor English muffins) and a few other things. Sometimes I wish they carried more local type items, night shade free bbq/ketchup that is made in KC. I can typically find all of my healthy food here, for my everyday cooking. When you become a member ( super easy and you get points and coupons) they have speciality prices on things like organic eggs, avocados, bacon, kombcha. These special prices are all the time for members. Totally worth it for organic avocados and eggs!!!! They sell other items in bulk, organic almonds, cashews, coconut shreds, spices, seasonings and such. Makes it really easy to refill your jars at home and much cheaper then always buying new jars. They carry grab and go items, health and beauty items and supplements/vitamins. If you are looking for a healthy grocery option, head to NG. Sometimes their veggie and fruit prices are cheaper than Whole Foods, sprouts and Hyvee ( and better quality).

Their produce department looks well maintained and properly sourced, they have a decent supplement department, their bulk spices are significantly superior and less expensive than their competitors, and you can't beat their pricing on eggs if you are an NPower member. The store always looks clean and the employees are always friendly, knowledgable, and helpful. My only complaints are the food selection in the store as well as limited fresh meat options (almost everything is frozen). And, I wish this location was larger like the ones in Lenexa, Lawrence, and Liberty. If it was larger, I would shop here more often.

The menu has tons of options -- protein-packed bowls, fresh açaí bowls, smoothies and shakes, plus protein pancakes that somehow manage to feel both indulgent and guilt-free. Whether you're eating clean, fueling a workout, or just trying to make better choices, there's something here for everyone. The food is fresh, flavorful, and customizable, which I really appreciate. You can easily build meals around your nutrition goals without sacrificing taste. Service is excellent every time -- the staff is friendly, welcoming, and genuinely helpful. The restaurant itself is also very clean and well-kept, which always makes the experience better. Healthy options Great variety Friendly service Clean environment Perfect spot for a post-workout meal, quick healthy lunch, or anytime you want real food that supports your goals. Definitely a go-to for clean eating without boredom.

It was suggested to me from a few…read morefolks that know I appreciate good healthy food, so when my schedule opened up for lunch, I headed that way! The girl working at the register was super sweet. She helped me with my order, a chicken Caesar wrap with sweet potato rounds as my side. I also ordered a Snapple iced tea. What happened next changed everything about my experience. I was asked if I was going to dine-in or take-out. My response was "I'd like to dine in assuming you have wifi?" She responded that they did and gave me the password. A man behind the counter who I assume is the owner or manager then stepped in and berated her right in front of me. In a super harsh tone, he said to her "don't ever give the Wi-Fi password to anyone. We need to collect their email." It was super rude and unprofessional for him to yell at her in front of me (or at all). I felt awful for her. She apologized to me and I apologized right back to her. Needless to say, this put an awful taste in my mouth and clouded my experience at this business. Admittedly I did stay, enjoyed using the wifi and the same man delivered my food to my table without a word or a smile. The wrap was delicious and the sweet potatoes were good but not fully cooked. On my way out, I told this man how I felt and that his comment made me uncomfortable. He did not apologize and moreso defended himself and said that is how he does business. So... while PROTEIN HOUSE is spacious, convenient, and has fresh, healthy food, I'm not sure I'd return as a result. I hope he was just having a bad day. To the girl working the register if you read this, I'm so sorry again. I appreciated your help and you did nothing wrong.

Very disappointing experience from a business we have supported for more than three decades. We…read moreshop here several times a week and have generally trusted the pricing and customer service, which made this situation even more frustrating. A loaf of Brioche bread was clearly marked at $5 on the display stand, but it rang up at $7 at checkout. When we questioned it, the clerk went back, took a photo of the display and explained that the sign was only meant to "draw attention" and was not actually the price for that bread. That explanation made little sense, especially since the bread on the display appeared to be the same product. My wife later called and spoke with the manager, Kelly, regarding what we viewed as false or misleading advertising. Unfortunately, the response was dismissive and unapologetic. Rather than acknowledging the confusion or offering to make it right, the pricing display was defended by claiming the marked price applied to bread on the other side of the stand. What concerns me most is how many customers likely never notice these discrepancies. We only caught it by chance, and I suspect many others simply pay the higher amount without realizing it. After being longtime loyal customers, this experience and the lack of accountability have caused us to reconsider shopping here. Leadership should be aware of how situations like this are handled because customer loyalty can disappear quickly when trust is lost.

I recently convinced a friend who couldn't find her favorite deodorant to try the crystal kind made…read moreof nothing but mineral salts. "You can get it anywhere," I told her. But I was wrong. So I stopped in at the Emerald Forest during lunch one day. I was pretty sure this local health food and supplement store would carry it. They did have mineral salts deodorant -- two varieties in fact. The health and beauty section was probably the best-stocked part of the store, so I browsed around in the toothpastes, soaps and lotions for awhile. Every product I picked up was cruelty-free, and most were organic too. I made my way through the rest of the store more quickly because unlike the health and beauty aides, the other sections weren't quite as well-stocked, that is until I reached the vitamins and supplements. Emerald Forest's selection rivals GNC in this area, which must be their bread and butter. If you're used to the robust offerings at Whole Foods you won't be impressed by Emerald Forest. But if you just need the odd jar of amino acids or a big bottle of multi-vitamin and mineral supplements with whole food concentrates, they can hook you right up.

When stacked against giants like Whole Foods, you have to come in expecting that merchandise would be on the low side but here it's almost non-existent. I stopped counting the empty produce bins and shelves early on. Selection was scarce for many of my usual staples - cereals/granola, yogurt and pizzas. Their selection of herbal teas weren't bad with a full line of Celestial Seasonings, Yogi and Stash teas. Unfortunately, I have had the pleasure of experiencing Trader Joe's and that makes me almost shy away from any other place because their selection, pricing and service always outshine the rest, including Whole Foods or Wild Oats. For small shops, I always look for quality, selection and the friendliness of the workers, all of which were lacking substantially at Emerald. Not my kind of jewel.
