This place is stocked to the rafters with the sorts of things you'd expect from a health food shop…read more In fact, I'd almost say that's it's too well stocked, as it's pretty cramped and difficult to get around the aisles, and if you've got a pram with you, forget it! Still, it's a great place to find anything from seeds, breads, oils to organic shampoo, baby creams and Ecover refills. It has plenty of different brands, I've never not found what I'm looking for.

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!

Arjuna is one of Cambridge's finest institutions. It's primarily a wholefood co-operative, selling…read morea great range of organic, sustainable, fairtrade and green products. It's no ordinary shop though, you'll find locally-baked bread, ready meals, spices, rices, pulses and fresh local veg. They also have 'healing rooms' where various types of practitioners can give you therapies and alternative treatments. They also supply wholesale foods. They're not some new, trendy company, they've been slogging away since I was a kid in the seventies. Good luck to them and well done for surviving so long!

The best little food shop in Cambridge by far selling everything you could ever want including a…read morefarmers stall outside on Saturday, veggie sausages, Green People toiletries and take away food in the chiller cabinet at the back of the store. Their humous and breads are well worth a try. A bit pricier than the supermarket but worth it if you can afford it as the food is much tastier and you feel as though it might actually be doing you some good. The interior of the shop is very pretty but can often get crowded especially at the weekends. Rory McGrath shops here too!

Pure Health is not really a stand out sort of health food shop, just an a neighbourhood place where…read moreyou'll shell out 2 pounds plus for tofu. This store has a good dried legume section and sells Proavil soya for 99p. There is a health practitioner section in the back. The only draw back, I saw a woman wearing a white therapists outfit cleaning. Not cool if managment is so cheap here they won't get a cleaner. I would tell them where to put it.

I went in here looking for supplements. I wanted to get their prices and see what they stocked…read more When you first walk in you find a bunch of mainly Zolgar brand vitamins and minerals and then as you move along the isle it becomes food. I actually thought that was all they had in stock. It turns out that they have more supplements on the other side of the shop, a funny way to lay out your store when trying to compare varieties of the same supplement. So look around before making up your mind. They have a pretty good selection of dry non perishable foods. I found their vitamins pricey and the guy a bit pushy. I left the store.

Tasty foodstuffs, great selection, genuinely warm and friendly staff, nice decor with the premium…read moreprice you would expect. I have never been disappointed by the taste and quality of the food from this shop. I recently went in to buy a load of energy bars, when I enquired about the price of a whole box of energy bars, I was offered a ten percent discount and told I could make my own box up with any of the flavours on offer. This contrasts nicely with the last visit I made to a completely different healthfood shop who told me I couldn't get a discount, I could have only one flavour and it would take a week for them to be ordered in. If they had a 10percent student discount then I would give them 5 stars.

A great health food shop that also has a cafe. The staff are really friendly and helpful and if…read moreyou're on any sort of special diet (vegan, gluten-free etc.) then this is the best place to get all your essentials plus some goodies too! Because it's not on the main high street it can be hard to find but there's usually a signpost to help you out.

I've used this store when it was located in Guildhall Street, next to the Black Boy. At that time…read moreit was the only shop in Bury St Edmunds that sold any Indian food and spices, and if they didn't have something, they'd get it for you on their next trip to London. Though the present owners are not Butterworths, the shop's reputation for friendly service has not diminished. They still have unusual foods, grains, spices and they will still get something specially for you if you ask. I get alphonso mangoes in season. Also Tamari soy sauce in large bottles, which I've not seen in any supermarket or other store locally. They also sell Bach flower remedies and some supplements, but best for the food ingredients and spices.

I come to Alternatives for my Gillian Mckeith bars. Gillian is no longer a Dr. or never was one in…read morethe first place but her Gojiberry bars suit me just fine. I usually get a peach juice or a soya shake carton. Alternatives is a nice enough shop but a bit pricey. For instance I can get my peach juice for at least 20p less somewhere else. The good thing about Alternatives is that its local and if you are a practitioner of "alternative" medicine, they offer a promotion scheme and a room in the back of the shop to practice in.
