It's like Whole Foods! With the price tag to match!…read more You know how they refer to Whole Foods affectionately as 'Whole Paycheck?' Well, similarly -- As Nature Intended (me to be broke). I suppose. This mini-chain is very similar to my favored "The Grocery" up on Kingsland Road but I just so happen to be down by Spitalfields often enough that I've popped in to this market a few times for the (not-so) essentials. Let's face it, it's a bleak state of affairs down Commercial Street at Tesco Local. I can't even bring myself to go in there. The amount of plastic wrapping and pre-packaged foods just makes me want to barf, no joke. I just can't most of the time, I'd rather go anywhere else. So yes, while As Nature Intended is a bit pricier -- it's also a LOT nicer, has WAY better food things in it and if I want to pay 100 quid for a bag of (basically) snacks, so it shall be done. Sometimes one just wants to feel wholesome, right? Yes. Of particular interest here is their health and beauty section -- well stocked and comprehensive. They carry REN, which I adore and also full range of Wedela which I buy often for the little person in our house. The soups are great, and they have CO-YO (coconut milk yogurt) which is my favorite thing of 2015 thus far. Staff is friendly. You'll be broke but you'll be happy. Good organic food stuffs up in here.

I LOVE this shop it is probably my favourite on earth and as they say outside their shop "Wealth is…read morewell and truly health". It is fully stocked with healthy foods and goodies to help you get through the week and help you to feel like an amazing human being. To add the staff are super friendly and delightful whenever I visit, always displaying a smile on their face and asking if any help is required (it is always the small gestures that count). I can literally spend near to an hour browsing the nut butters, chocolate aisle and fruit pantry, and last but not least - they even provide a sink for you to wash your fruit and veg if you wish to consume it straight away. Also, if you are lucky you may be greeted with a sample of peanut butter or other tasty snack to help you through your shop. If you're a true foodie and health and fitness fiend like me, you'll fall in love with this place!

This shop is a combination coffee shop and organic grocery. They are small but have many lovely organic products, milk and yogurt, beer and wine, cereal and pasta, fresh fruit and veg, even some foreign products like Thai curry paste and Japanese udon noodles. The sitting area for the cafe is on the upper floor, looking down on the shop, and I intend to try it out very soon--the coffee and pastries look wonderful. And if you want to grab some lunch near Finsbury Park there are takeaway sandwiches too.

Its a strange choice of location for an organics and wholefood shop: after all, lower Clapton road,…read moreI'm told, is known as 'murder mile'. Why, and by whom exactly, is another matter. The point is that most Londoners don't expect areas as run down as this to boast much beyond a kebab joint and a couple of Turkish food & wine shops. Well Organic & Natural is sandwiched by one of each of these, but when you enter its easy to forget the environs outside. The shop has a nice wood-panelled interior and a selection of excellent organic baked bread by the door - I'd recommend the white bloomer. Then a good variety of fruit & veg is on display, although freshness and price is an issue. There's a good selection of cereals, Japanese food, a deli, leather sofas, free WiFi and outdoor decking and garden area. There's also sustainability-focused homewares and a good variety of shampoos and homeopathic healthcare. The owners could learn to smile a bit more, to reduce the prices a bit and, to take a little more notice of sell-by dates. Then again, the last time I dropped in to grab some bread, I was unexpectedly short and they let me off over 50p - and not for the first time either. So if you live close by, and want an alternative to the monotony of Tesco and the drudgery of the 'food & wines', try it out.

It's been around for several years (more than 5 I think) and long may it continue.

TICK -Sweet little garden area at the back - perfect for sunny days and taking your time with your meal perusing a weekend paper TICK The most popular option seems to be a warm main (usually vegetarian lasagne, moussaka or a stuffed pepper) with 3 salads (which could be mushrooms, greek salad, lentils, chickpea and spinach or a dozen other beautifully seasoned and sauced options) - the halloumi wrap is also worth a try. It really does seem a little out of place (there's a greasy kebab shop next door!) in Clapton, but I guess the area's changing and the market for that kind of food is growing. Good stuff too! The cafe sells health food bits and pieces, drinks and fresh bread so you can pick up some staples to take home. If the criteria I listed appeals to you, I would urge you to visit if you're nearby :) Let me know if you like it!

A real little treasure trove of all things healthy and organic. It is quite a small shop but is…read morepacked to the brim with all the healthy things you could possible want from alfalfa sprouts to quinoa, from low sodium solo salt to wheat free flours. There's also a good selection of natural toiletries (including toothpaste!) free from nasty things like parabens, SLS and the like, and even chemical free makeup. They also have vitamins and minerals, and a good range of natural cleaning products including an Ecover refill service. And if all that isn't enough to give you a healthy glow, there is also a juice bar where you can load up with a shot of health-boosting vitamins. It's a shame they don't stock fresh fruit and vegetables as that would really make it the perfect shop.

Many people associate Whole Foods with organic - which it is, but not everything here is organic. So you have to have that expectation. The prepared foods are top-notch.

Organico is primarily a health food store that has some seating for those seeking a coffee. The coffee and pastries are quite good, but it can feel like your sitting in the middle of a grocery store.
