How far into the Cedar Rapids ghetto am I willing to venture for mint chocolate chip malted milk…read moreballs? Two blocks (which is essentially into the heart of the ghetto). I was also searching for some supplements for my mom, but lets not kid ourselves, I was there for the malted milk balls. The health hut still has a fabulous selection of vitamins, supplements, and hard to find health foods. The parking lot in the back is very convenient, since the store is right on 1st Ave and there isn't really any parking in front. However, the parking lot appears to be a hangout for the locals. It's not exactly Cabrini Green, but I wouldn't walk around here alone after dark (or after noon, actually). The staff is always very helpful, they seem to really know what they're talking about and care about their customers. They aren't just there to sell you something.

It is evident by the reviews before mine that people in today's social climate could greatly…read morebenefit from cultural sensitivity training. I went to this area, new to Cedar Rapids wondering why people would call an area ghetto simply because Black people live there. I was immediately skeptical based on the comments, but was met by people of many cultures and walks of life who spoke as they passed. Some smiled. NOTHING is scary about this area so ignore the ignorance preceding my review. If you're afraid of people who don't look like you, stay in your bubble and disengage from society period. Anywho, enough about foolishness from foolish people. I ADORE ALICIA and really appreciate how she went out of her way to help me and answer my questions. There is a wide array of products, many specials and discounts, and the prices are great! I always come in for one thing and leave with 7 or 8 when I go to stores like these! There is parking on the side near McDonald's and in the rear so it's pretty convenient to get to. I will be a frequent customer and am SO GLAD I CAME!

I was greeted by my first name as soon as I walked in the door which immediately made me feel like I've been a client for years. She offered me water or to brew tea for me which I opted for some Chai with turmeric that was delicious. Lyn has a great personality and is all about the experience and making sure you're comfortable. This was my first time getting a Brazilian so I was nervous and of course uncomfortable with the exposure but again Lyn made the whole process as comfortable as she could. Recognizing that this was a very personal process for women and made sure to keep conversation through the whole process so my mind was focused on that and not being exposed. Pricing is great for the services provided and Lyn really went above and beyond! She's a great conversationalist which is awesome because I lack that skill so she was able to keep me talking and engaged. She is so kind and calming, definitely the type of lady you want to be sugaring your lady bits and then take her out for coffee or tea afterwards! Look forward to scheduling future appointments with her for sugaring as well as her business partner for facials!

It was missing a few things that I wish it had but for a small store this place really packs a punch. Plenty of great vegan and healthy options. Great perks if you're an owner of the store. Parking is obviously a big hassle here unfortunately. Staff was very friendly as well. I bought one of their electrolyte Waters that I've never seen before which is great for my drive back home. The store is very clean and I would love to come back here whenever I get a chance.

I found it a little small as far as Co-Ops go, but there were still lots of healthy choices. Half the fun was listening to a bunch of well educated and interesting store staff and customers talk. That's one of the cool things about University towns.
