    "Melted" chocolate
    Sage H.

    We were stoked to find an organic market when we first arrived at Tulum, since I have dietary issues.. but we soon realized how outrageously expensive it was. Prices were close to or more than prices in SoCal. Found some unique products which we enjoyed, but when opening the coffee we bought, there were white bits scattered within the grounds which was concerning. The chocolate we bought was all a powdery color, like it had been sitting for a long time. When left in the car, instead of the chocolate melting, it became a powder. I now question how old everything is in this store. For how expensive everything was, I am very disappointed with the quality of the products sold. I wouldn't be as surprised if the products were much cheaper.

    We came here on our first full day in Tulum. We bought a full breakfast package ahead of time for three of us. Absolutely fantastic. I wish we ate slower cause I felt like we rushed the experience. Everything was so fresh and delicious. From coffee to the beans. (I know right?). Great service, we were never rushed (we just ate fast). Didn't get a chance to see what else is on the menu, but we had coffee, orange juice, fruit platter, pastry, parfait, and eggs/beans/salad. Good stuff!

    Gypsea Market & Cafe is like a Fresh Market / Whole Food in the USA. They have most all beverages, wine , liquor , beer. Fresh produce, grains , beans, vegetables, fruits. Honey comb honey even. Great place for fresh bread. They have a nice little cafe here that serves food, coffee, and it is very good. I would think twice on the swinging chairs, I could not find a comfort zone eating in them. But it is something different. I would come back here again. Update 1/24/2020. I have been coming here at least once a day since the beginning of the year. The people here and very kind , helpful in assisting you. If you do buy rolls , bakery goods , once purchased and taken out of the store are not returnable. There is a sign that clearly states this at the cash registers. This is for the safety of everyone that shops there. I did meet the owner Phillip, very nice person and he is very customer conscious.

    Grocery store organic, vegan  and gluten free items. Definitely a place to visit.

    Omg the pottery and food was always well kept very well and staff is very helpful in finding certain organic, gluten free, and vegetarian items we're looking for .. since were a mixed family of different eating needs. Staff was always humble on entering and very knowledgeable and helpful in any need we're looking for. Highly recommend. I know prices are like American prices but worth finding the groceries as items we wanted.

    Their own kombucha. Very thin glass bottles. It didn't never fall or what, If it did the crack would be at the bottoms not the sides.

    over priced products, which i dont mind. but when u ask for an exchange because their kombucha blew up, they will not take responsibility about it. it blew up in our room like a bomb. bad quality bottle. stay away as much as you can; this place is a rip off. good thing i was away from my bed when this happened. they knew this shit blows up, another employee warned me about it. i let it rest and all. it blew up on its own. dont buy anything from this store. they dont do refunds or exchange for a product. i dont even need a refund. i just rightfully need an exchange. their cashier eduardo didn't do anything he said he cant do anything. he also said he doesn't speak english. but the other day i saw him speak english. this place is a scam. over priced low quality products.

    Terrible shop with everything is way too overpriced. Example: Merlot casa madero 750ml costs in the wine shop next door "off the wine" 445 MXN (off the wine is an amazing shop btw) and in Gypsea the exact same bottle is at 680 MXN. This means 150% of the price that you can get 2 steps further. Expect EVERYTHING to be overpriced.

I'the only I needed to remember was don't get too much because you have to carry it all back. I'd say prices are reasonable and they carry a lot of the necessities and essentials, plus some. I know this is a newer build and I felt like everything was so clean. Staff were constantly stalking shelves and just cleaning the areas. I felt like everywhere I turned there was a staff member. Lots of good food options to pick from. This store offers self checkout as well.

I was going to meet up with some friends at a resort a day later, so I made sure to pick up some sunblock here since it was less than half the price than what they were charging at the resort. In terms of food, you got everything here from fresh produce to snacks. You could also load up on water. They also had some local craft beer in the refrigerators here that I was thinking about buying, but passed because I was going to be in town for one day. there's also a pretty extensive spirits selection. In hindsight, I wish I got some bottles only because the stuff they gave me at the all inclusive resort a day later didn't get drunk at all lol. But overall, this place is conveniently located and has everything you need at a decent price.

A row of ATMs had reputable banks like HSBC and Santander with super reasonable exchange fees around $2 USD, and plenty of machines so you're not stuck waiting behind someone trying to remember their PIN. The store itself is massive and really well stocked. Fresh produce, dairy, perishable foods, American brand snacks, Mexican candy, and Mexican Takis that are spicier than the U.S. version (yay!). They also have a large alcohol section with brands Americans will recognize, plus local beers and mixers, including tropical juice flavors. Beyond food, they carry household items, swimwear, resort-style dresses, T-shirts, and footwear for the family plus a wide selection of souvenirs. My kids were able to pick out some shorts and tops for themselves and cute Mexican sugar skulls, keychain, and magnets for their teachers. Everything was spotless, including the parking lot and there's a restroom inside. Paying was easy with credit, debit, or cash. This place is incredibly convenient and well worth the drive. NOTES/TIPS: **From La Zebra, about a 20-minute drive. It's even closer to the larger resorts, plus downtown Tulum and the car rental area. **Parking was easy with a huge, very clean lot. **Restrooms inside. **It's set up a bit like a Walmart with specialty shops inside the supermarket itself. This location had a GNC and other shops. **Surrounding plaza has eateries and other businesses.

The produce section is arranged in a way that's just so appealing to the eyes (at least my eyes). I spent a little bit of time looking at the local bar soaps and came back home with some-- can't wait for that. Staff are everywhere if you need assistance. Great selection of bakery items as well. Taxi's are allowed to drop you off in the parking lots, but if you need one to get back, you'll have to go out to the road, and grab one as they are not allowed to wait in the parking lot. The gentleman who helped bag our groceries did a very nice job. There's also an icecream store and other stores in here as well..... one stop shop! Yes, I'll definitely be back in the future.

My friend and I order vegan due to being lactose intolerant and following a strict plant-based diet. Our friend told us we had to try their "vegan hotcakes sensation". We had no idea what it looked like, but what the server brought out (40...minutes... later... and there were only 2 other tables) was 3 pancakes, slices of banana, and a gravy like syrup (wished I would have taken a picture.. it's kinda hilarious). It wasn't until after we realized they had brought out the wrong entree we hurried to the menu to make sure it was vegan. The menu clearly indicates what is vegan and what is not with a symbol. There are only two hotcake options... one vegan and the other not. The waiter tried to tell us the entree was vegan which we know it would have the vegan symbol next to it on the menu if it was so. We were lied to and it was really awkward to see how they were trying to take care of the situation. She brought out another waiter who tried to say the same thing but then reverted to the manager who admitted it wasn't vegan and said they could give us a %15 percent discount...what? I'd pay triple to not have my friend's stomach experience what it does and it's shocking they believe a $2 discount deserves them the status of a quality restaurant. Also, hiring a waitress who laughs at you when you're dealing with an intolerance is not only unprofessional but just a disrespectful human being regardless. In addition, the store inside does have some nice vegan products, however, the prices are crazy inflated just because it is on the 5th avenue. I recommend taking a short walk off the Fifth Avenue so you're not paying $12 USD for a jar of peanut butter... We will take the few extra steps past BioNatural and continue going to The Pitted Date (which is right around the corner). Their service, professionalism, and quality of food is consistent and reliable, not to mention their entire restaurant is vegan. Their prices are even cheaper and not to mention the presentation/quality is straight fire.
