I shopped at Life Springs quite a bit when I lived nearby…read more Since then I have moved quite a distance away and dont have a good health food store in my area, so I am forced to buy online. Today after putting in a good sized online order, I was curious to check how prices lined up with Life Spring. I still have some containers of supplements I bought when I was last in the area so I was able to make comparisons. TO MY SURPRISE, THE PRICES AT LIFE SPRING WERE EQUAL OR LESS THAN THE ONLINE SUPPLIERS THAT I THOUGHT WOULD HAVE BEEN CHEAPER! So, to anyone tempted to save money and buy online, forget it! You will do as good or better with Life Spring! Plus, you will be dealing with some real nice local people who deserve your business!

Soup is my absolute favorite food group. If you're like me, you know that all soups are not created…read moreequal. Offering a quality selection -- one with both flavor and variety (I'm looking at you, tomato bisque ) -- this corner store has earned its spot on the repeat list. I went with the vegan mushroom vegetable and the borscht (omg hi!). Both very good, I'd recommend the mushroom, but wouldn't say no to the borscht a second time -- I'll never say no to a borscht! Borscht can do no wrong. The shop is quaint and calming. Some standouts for me: LARGE selection of dried herbs+, small fresh bakery counter, ready-made home cooked meals or sides, and a meat chest with meat by the pound -- including the "whole animal" bits that pets love. I've been twice now, will be back for more soup-sperimentation! P.S. They are priced like they know their worth though, so just be mentally prepared for that.

Behind an unassuming storefront lies one of the most unique stops I've visited in the city! Raw…read morevegan establishments are few and far between, and this will definitely be a new go-to. Originally on a mission for a smoothie, I was greeted by a friendly staff member and a much larger menu than expected. There is a slew of inventive food that all looked amazing, ranging from sandwiches to noodles and sushi. I opted for the Maca Picchu smoothie, a mini cranberry muffin, and an empanada. I was blown away by how flavorful everything was! The smoothie was creamy, lightly sweet, and very refreshing. The mini muffin tasted like a firmer version of edible cookie dough and was a perfect sweet treat. The empanada was not crunchy, but it was flavorful and the vegan cashew cream was incredibly smooth. I was really impressed not only by the taste of the food, but the texture and presentation as well. There is a level of detail and care that is apparent and really exceptional. Consider me a fan- I'm already looking forward to not only the next visit, but to bring more plant-based meals into my kitchen as well!

First is the staff: I've been charged the full price on sale items a number of times, and despite my knowing the price, a manager slow walks to the aisle to check, stink eye at me until I've left the store. I'm always right-- I remember numbers-- but it's the store's job to keep track of all their merchandise and prices. Even though they'll correct the prices for me, everybody else is being overcharged. Second is their stocking methods: half the time, many of the aisles are packed with merchandise waiting to be shelved. It's annoying and dangerous, not to mention damaging to the frozen foods thawing on the floor. I've tripped on their piles of boxes more than once. Tl;dr: overcharges fixed begrudgingly, stock on the floors all over.
