Walking around the narrow aisles in the crammed store was absolutely delightful as the great selection of products and produce was fabulous!! There were many people there at 7:00 PM. The one thing I didn't like was that no employees tried to speak English with me. Thank goodness my daughter was with me as she speaks good Spanish.

The description of the products are clear and they even tell you which oil or vinegar pairs well with what. The man who greeted us was kind and helpful and gave us excellent explanations of everything. He encouraged us to taste what we wanted. I would come back again and again if I could! We bought the Italian herb balsamic and the garlic olive oil and they are amazing. The balsamic is sweeter and more full bodied than what you'll find in the average grocery store.

I take the vitamins, use the lip balms, hair brushes, socks, purchase my elderberry zinc lozenges - which I basically pop like candy during these times, girls gotta keep that immune system thriving! vegan cookies, candies, tea - I mean I can go on and on. This store has everything I adore. They really have a ton of great items you'd need for all aspects of your healthy living life and extremely high standards for every product sold here. While, sure you may not be able to get every last item you need here that's zero issue for me. I'm used to frequenting at least two separate stores (Trader Joes, Whole Foods, Ralphs -which I've now learned is City Market here) at home for different items. I'd give you the hottest tip on the Western Slope but I don't want everyone flooding the store for her ;) cough cough Jessica - greatest girl around. Great customer service from everyone I've ever encountered! Fantastic products, I can see why the health conscious peeps of all surrounding areas drive into town for this store. It's the best of the best. You can stop off on the drive to Telluride if you need to stock up on yummy goodies for your trip. I plan on being a customer each and every time I'm in town and highly recommend.

Black Pepper is my favorite. Dry texture and tender bites. Not tough like you're pulling your teeth out. Beef sticks are good as well, not too greasy like dare I say, "Slim Jim". Mass produced crap. One negative is I wish Ray offered a 1 lb. Bag vs the 3.5oz bags that are $10.99...or $51.00 lb. Also I wish the beef sticks came is sizes of 12 or so vs. 24 pack. That's just too much.
