I ordered a juice in the morning on yelp. When I walked in- it wasn't ready. Ok fine I'll wait. However the lady working there was in the middle of cleaning the tops of the containers with cleaner, she proceeded to start getting the fruit and veggies to make my juice with the dirty gloves. When I asked her to wash her hands she said she rinsed them but she would change gloves. Smh. read more

Since my last review, they have developed an app so that you can order ahead for in-store or curbside pick up, including from their juice bar. The fireside tonic 1 or 2 oz shot (Apple cider, vinegar, honey, onion, garlic, ginger, chili, horseradish, dandelion, turmeric) is a wild ride if you think you handle the ingredients. You can also build your own juice or order from the list of organic juice recipes on the menu. There is a hand sanitizer station at the front of the store and of course masks are required. read more

Dean's earns my highest praise for their wide selection of supplements and the knowledgeable, friendly staff members who have given me guidance on which supplements to take. For instance, a bottle of magnesium pills I bought at CVS (with out anyone advising me) was cheap but those pills were completely useless in relieving my muscle tension/nerve pain. The man working at Dean's gave me an excellent five minute summary off the top of his head about nine forms of magnesium and the bioavailability of each. He explained why the cheap pills didn't work--that particular form of Magnesium is barely absorbed into the body. Based on his suggestions, I decided to buy the Dean's brand of magnesium glycinate and a Magnesium Oil Topical Mineral Spray. Since using them daily, I have noticed a huge improvement in how I feel! Thank you to the man at Dean's and I'm sorry I didn't ask your name. This is just one supplement that the staff at Dean's has helped me with. In the past six years, people who work there have advised me on iron, B-vitamins, amino acids, herbal remedies, and probiotics. I won't tell a story for each one or this review would be a novella! I see most Yelp reviews are about the food/juice but I don't have much experience buying that. The store always has yummy free samples out on tables and sometimes I will try them and buy a bag of organic, non-GMO chips or whatever snack is on sale. I usually pick up some fresh produce while I'm here and it's good quality. If you are interested in being as healthy as possible, I definitely recommend coming to Dean's! read more

Dean's used to be a pretty nice spot, I can't quite say the same now. As others have mentioned, the customer service is dismal. Prices are also a little high, the normal granola I usually buy for $4.99 is $8 here. A tip to the employees, customers aren't a nuisance at a grocery store, simple human courtesy and kind interaction would go a long way. Likely won't frequent in the future. read more

Asked for an açaí bowl. I was told "There isn't anybody here who knows how to make them." I'll pass.. read more

High quality products! My go-to for grocery and wellness shopping. They have excellent lunch choices too!

Great place, great staff!! Would definitely be back. They ave a great selection of supplements, food and the produce is so fresh. read more

Delicious. Call in advance and have them make it fresh instead of premade. The smoothies are expensive and a little small but they are delicious. The tofu wrap is excellent. Finally, some HEALTHY food!!!! It is healthy, tasty, and fresh. The staff is also helpful. I will continue to get food from there read more

Deans is a great natural foods staple in the area. The owners are incredibly nice and the store stocks unique items. Inventory can vary.

I bought the potato salad in a prepackaged container and when I got it home 30 mons later I started eating it and it was mush. The potato chunks melted like water. I called store and after speaking to three different workers and asst mgrs none of them could give me a answer. Finally they put me on with guy who made the salad the previous day and he took a container and tryed it and said it was overcooked and was full of water. This is the 3rd time I had a issue with the prepackaged foods. They need better quality control for a small store. I will not recommend anyone to this place . They have amateur food workers/ chefs. read more

Dean's Natural Food Market is a excellent place to buy organic food, supplements, and hard to find items that may not be available at Whole Foods Market or Fairways. I had an excellent experience with LuAnne in the vitamin/supplement section. I buy extremely high quality probiotics, which are not usually carried in U.S. stores. Well to my surprise Dean's carried them. I spoke with Lu Anne, whom assured me the product I needed was handled accordingly, otherwise the probiotic would be useless. I ended up trying there nice juice bar, and bought other items. The entire experience was wonderful. Whenever I have friends or colleagues that need certain organic items, I refer them all to Lu Anne at Dean's. Sometimes I need items yesterday, and can not wait on a shipment from Amazon. I wish there was a Dean's in Northern Bergen County, wonderful place! read more

I went in for a quick sandwich. I got a chicken salad on a wrap. They only had pre-made. I got to my destination and my food was almost inedible for $8. The wrap was wet and soggy. There were alfalfa sprouts but they smelled like mold. I tried to scoop out the chicken salad and eat only that but there was very little of it and honestly not great. Won't do that again. read more

Probably the most kick-ass general grocery store I've been to. I wandered in here expecting the usual array of stuff, but there's explicit vegan sandwiches - I got a vegan BLT which was pretty kick ass - and smoothies and lots of other stuff. The staff here, as I found in so many small businesses in NJ, were super friendly. I'll definitely come back again for lunch if I'm in the area. read more

Love this place great vegan food choices such as smoothies are very good and their organic food selectionsare great as well.

If you are sensitive to certain ingredients, I would be careful. Twice I bought sandwiches there and all the ingredients were not listed.. When I got home and looked in the sandwich I could not eat them. read more

I just went here with my sister and they made us feel very uncomfortable. Plenty of rude stares and they had no good customer service skills! Would highly not recommend coming here. read more

Although Green's carries organic produce and products similar to what Dean carried when he owned the business customer service has taken a huge dive downward. There are two cashiers who are pleasant and helpful, but the majority display attitudes of disrespect and disregard for customers. Some even become antagonistic. Several other people have mentioned in their reviews that incompetence was a problem and that they had experienced employees with attitude problems during their visits to the store so I have to think it has become a generalized problem. During a recent visit I picked up and ate a sample as I approached the register. It went down the wrong way, and I began coughing to try to get it up. Instead of offering to get a glass of water the man working the register burst into laughter. He continued to laugh while he rang up my items and as I left the store. Another customer noted in his review that this same employee followed him around the store to the point that he felt uneasy and left without finishing his shopping. When I asked another employee (a strong young man) to bag my five items he angrily retorted that he had a customer behind me. When I didn't move away fast enough he became angry again and asked "Is something wrong?". Dean's was great. Green's isn't. I'll be taking my business to HealthFair from now on. read more

Too expensive and they need to stock basic milk. I try to use them as a supermarket supplement, since there is barely any food retail in the area, but I always end up disappointed. It's good for hippies I guess. We "real people" are better served by the gas station next door. Good coffee, cheap snacks and yogurt, cheap microwave burritos, spicy indian clerks, and MILK at 7-eleven read more

As good as it gets ! Felt at home just like Juice generation in NYC! The green goodness açaí bowl was on point ! Smooth fresh and delicious . Friendly and clean ! Highly recommend . Thank you read more

Though to some Deans may be small I think it's the perfect size! It holds all the necessities one who eats natural, organic foods would need. Their produce is always stocked and fresh which is usually why we come from Somerville to Basking Ridge. Though Wegmans is closer to us, they are often out of stock on some of our needed organic produce. Not the case with Deans! Help is always there if you need it. Questions are always answered when you ask. The staff is very friendly and knowledgable about the products in the store. Deans is ways introducing us to products that we may over look. They usually have an item of the week they have out on a tray for you to sample. Even better if you love it, it's usually on sale too. I have found two need healthy snacks this way. I think Deans prices are fair! I find that their bag of apples and kale is cheaper than wegmans and shoprite and that's important to my household. Especially since we buy five bunches of kale at a time for eating and juicing. Some of their prices are comparable and some may seem expensive because we may be use to buying non organic items. At the end of the day, you get what you pay for. I also like that Dean supports those who locally grow stuff. I remember them having natural locally farmed raw honey. It's nice to see them supporting the community around them. read more

Best natural food market around. Highly recommend the juice bar is great. Mason always makes the best drinks. Pricing isn't what you would expect it to be either! read more

NEVER AGAIN! The "Bella Fresh Tofu Burger" I purchased was on the fridge shelf 2 days post expiration date. The lettuce inside was rotten and the 50 mile round trip drive was not worth a return trip. I contacted their customer service and 11 days later, I've yet to receive a response. I posted a comment on Facebook and it was deleted. I posted a second comment and that too was deleted. Another FB user complained about the filthy juice bar and that post was also deleted. Apparently Dean's only keeps the positive ratings, which explains alot. This place is overrated, too small and more expensive than Whole Foods. I'll keep spending my money at Whole Foods where I am treated as a valued customer. read more

While their produce is fresh and they have a good assortment, their prices are high. the salad bar charges 10$ a pound...and you're paying for the box, and dressing, which the cardboard box absorbs. I asked if they took off the weight of the box, and the cashier said its not that much. people are nice, not a great vibe from the owners read more

Basically the kids behind the counter were so lazy they didn't want to make me a $12 dollar playa bowl. I have no problem waiting for how slow the service usually is here because I like the quality... However, this time they said they couldn't make it because they didn't have the granola. Apparently they can't take it off the shelf of a supermarket that has a whole dedicated aisle to make it? WTF read more

Good but not great. It's nice to have some organic options nearby when I don't want to drive all the way to whole foods but I've been largely disappointed my last two visits here. The produce I purchased was spoiled but I couldn't tell because of the plastic packaging. Celery and strawberries and another time was raspberries and kale. I don't get the sense they have good quality control in the produce section so you need to be extra diligent before you take something home. Very expensive, higher prices than WF but then again I save on gas. read more

Very expensive organic supermarket. They don't have a lot of competition in the area, and most things are cheaper online (vitamins/supplements). Overall limited selection. A couple specialty drinks (kombucha) are available "on tap" for you to fill up your own jug. read more

A nice little store packed with a pretty awesome selection of somewhat hard to find healthy selections for a variety of different special needs. Though I have not tried it yet the fact that a juice bar is there is a real bonus. It may not be big enough to find everything you need but the variety of specialty products here could get you lost looking around for a disproportionate time -- which in this case is a good thing! read more

Dean's is probably the best natural foods store that I've ever shopped in. All organic produce, great sales, friendly and knowledgeable staff, and a fantastic Juice Bar. The best part is that it is 5 minutes from my home! I even wrote a review on my blog! http://healerdealerdiary.blogspot.com/ Great selection of non-GMO and organic groceries, like freshly made organic almond butter and peanut butter. Their weekend sales are better then the grocery stores. Over the Thanksgiving weekend, Dean's was selling a huge variety of organic produce for .99 cents a lb. I highly recommend checking out Dean's. I love shopping there! read more

Deans is God sent. It has spoiled me to the point where I can never step foot in a regular grocery store again. I frequent once a day to get a refreshing smoothie, juice, or Acai bowl. As a vegan it is my go to spot for their grab and go meals, ranging from sushi to pesto noodles. Aside from the incredible food, the staff cares so much about their customers. They go above and beyond to make sure you have a great experience. If you stop by give the Almond Acai bowl a try, you won't regret it. read more

I love this little grocery store! Besides offering fresh fruit and produce, they have a variety of supplements and healthy-ish snacks as well as prepared foods. They have amazing freshly ground almond butter. They are located right off 78, so it's a perfect place to grab any last minute items for a meal or do some light grocery shopping on the way home from work. read more

Just moved into the neighborhood and thought I found a great place to shop organic. Please do yourself a favor and shop at Wegmans instead. This place sells old, expired food. Waste of time and money. Stay away! read more

I finally got to Dean's the other day. I had been meaning to get over here for a while to see what it was all about. To start, the place is incredibly clean and nice looking. It's not as big as your normal supermarket or Trader Joe's but it has about 6-7 aisles of different items. Since it was our first time here, we really didn't know what to expect but we ended up walking out with a few different items. I was surprised to see that this place wasn't obnoxiously overpriced - I even noticed some items that were cheaper than you would see in a supermarket or specialty store. While my wife and I don't eat a strictly "organic" diet, it's definitely a good option to have in town. All of the employees were incredibly friendly and helpful, as well as welcoming. I'm sure that we will come back here from time to time. read more

I used to absolutely love this place but after not having shopped there for about a year, I came in one day and realized how intensely they've raised their prices and cut down on portions. Won't come back. I can go to Trader Joe's and find excellent quality products for half the price. read more

Don't have a Whole Foods near you? No worries, go to Deans. You'll find everything you need for your organic delights!

I don't come to Dean's too often however when I do I always leave happy and wishing that I came more often. Prices are generally comparable to the big supermarkets, and the options are through the roof. For many of the products they carry, you can really only find at Dean's or online. dean's is amazing and I'm fortunate to live within 20 minutes. read more

Love Love Love this place! Best juice bar ever and great organic store. Like a smaller whole foods but lower prices!!

Love Dean's and happy to have a place like this in the area. For being such a small store, they really have a ton of variety and almost every brand you would expect in a health food store. Love the juice bar for a green juice or smoothie fix. The prices are reasonable and aren't as ridiculously marked up as some smaller health food stores that I've been to. Haven't tried most of their prepared foods but the guacamole is excellent. read more

Great small 100% healthy grocery store. All the fruits and vegetables are organic. The products are non- GMO. Juice bar makes delicious smoothies. Very good selection for a small grocery store. read more

All I can say is thank goodness we have this in our town. It's my primary market for organic and non-GMO foods. It is priced competitively and often better then the well know organic supermarkets. I also love the juice bar. I am happy for the owners that they are expanding and opening additional stores. It tells me that people are really focusing on better health. I hope this review helps someone. I don't typically stop and share my thoughts. Thank you. read more

I had been shopping at this location for awhile as it is close to my job and was a quick run to pick up veggies and fruit at lunchtime. the cashiers I encountered until today, were always very helpful & professional. Today I stopped in at lunchtime. A cashier, who has been there for awhile, and I have seen before but never interacted with, rang my items up. Her attitude while ringing was very nasty, she literally threw my fruit and vegetables unto the conveyor belt with animosity. Both myself and my co-worker noticed the service. Our assumption was that this attitude was racially motivated. In hindsight, I should have spoken up about this handling of my items, but there was a line, I had to get back to work, & did not want to create a scene. She went on to ring the customer behind me with a normal attitude and handling of his items. I asked a staffer for the manager's phone #, & being a small store, naturally, this cashier found out I was going to call & decided to give the manager a heads up, assuming my call was about a coupon question I asked her. I called the store manager who was expecting a call and told the manager about the treatment, she said she would speak with the cashier, however, the manager never said sorry. From this disgusting customer service experience, I am now turned off from this store and will do my runs at wholefoods which is not far away & on my way home, and i no longer recommend this store. read more
