The staff quite know where the product is. Lots of staff to help for a small store. They have comprehensive brand even with the rare product I want. They even have a holistic doctor (I guess) to answer your question. They have a royalty card for 10% off and 20 %. For price, I just really surprise that they are a bit cheaper than other chain nutritional food store. So, I definitely will go there again if I need some vitamin and herbal stuff and etc.

When I went back to the store with my purchase, they told me that it is special activated charcoal. There is no such thing. as I was leaving the tall, over weight, young man called me an idiot. I can only say that they are un informed, rude, and not willing to show any facts to back up what they say. Also, Oil of oregano there is $24 while at shoppers $14. The fake activated charcoal was $20 but the real stuff at shoppers was $14. I would not trust them.

You can always find a ton of products in here that are better priced then other health food stores. Staff are always lovely. I stop in here all the time even when I don't need anything. They have everything from fresh veggies, to dairy (and vegan dairy), meats (and vegan meats), drinks, snacks, oils, bulk pantry items, household cleaning and toiletries, and a large supplement section.

A natural way to promote more hair growth? I'm down to try. I am amazed this little store in Kensington has so many essential to trendy natural products at such reasonable prices. You'll find anything from natural deodorant to vegan nail polish, essential oils, natural beauty products, cleaning supplies, and a grocery at the back. Wow! I can see why they are so busy. It can be tricky to find things you need through all the aisles of products, but the staff knows where everything is when you ask. Purchased Neem oil 100ml (Unbranded) $5.99 Rosemary oil organic 30ml (Now brand) $17.99 Their Dr. Bronner's Castile soap is a great price compared to buying online through Amazon. It's always a great bonus to save money while supporting local.
