Healthy Planet just opened up about a month ago. This location is in the Ottawa Trainyards. It's…read morenext to Urban Barn and in the same plaza as Nordstrom Rack. Healthy Planet is a Health Food Store similar to Kardish and Natural Food Pantry. Since they are new, when I went they still had some empty shelf space, but I'm sure with time they will fill it with products. The store is big and bright and they carry a lot of items that I like at slightly lower prices than their main competitors (who I named above). They carry Vegan Rob's chips, which I absolutely love. They also carry Fiasco Gelato, as well as Mapleton's Organic ice cream! I saw lots of frozen breads, but not any fresh bread, and they don't have a bakery section :( They have a beauty section, but very limited brands of cosmetics. They have skincare, bath and body products too. They have a rewards/points system, but like their competitors it's pretty minimal. You get 1 point per dollar spent and get $5 off when you reach 500 points. So spend $500 and get $5 back. Better than nothing, I guess, lol. It's free to join the rewards program. I'm in this area a lot, so I will likely be going here often. Hopefully they have lots of sales and will have a clearance section, lol. Lots of free parking in the plaza.

I realized that my last recent move had me donating all my protein shaker cups. Grrrr. I literally had about 30 of them as most of us do - they accumulate! So... I needed one. And I found one. And grabbed a handful of protein bars. And perused the creatine on sale. Pondered some magnesium. Hmmm. I'll be back. Thanks to Jason for helping me out. He was informative and patient. The shop wasn't busy mid day, parking was plentiful and the store was clean. 4% cash back on each purchase if you sign up with your info.

The staff are always friendly, helpful and super knowledgeable about where their products are coming from! So great!

I have been going to the Popeye's on Merivale Rd in Ottawa for several years. I am a friendly,…read moreoutgoing person anyway, however, everyone that I have known at that store over the years has matched or exceeded that. To those that I have seen often over the years there, I have always easily been able to get on a first-name basis with, and, when they aren't busy, they are always willing to engage me in a friendly, sometimes humourous conversation. Of course, I always try to take advantage of their deals, such as "Buy 1 & get the 2nd at half price", for example. But who wouldn't? Any quality supplements are not cheap these days. In fact, there are times when I've been tipped off, so-to-speak, of these deals, which I maybe shouldn't mention here, lol. But, I'm sure other loyal customers are made fully aware, too. In addition, as far as product knowledge is concerned, Popeye's is top-notch. Their friendly staff all know their stuff, and I would suspect that makes it more comforting for people who are possibly coming to Popeye's for the 1st time. They will certainly take the time required to share their knowledge so that people can make informed decisions without them feeling rushed. So, not only are the Popeye's staff on Merivale Rd. in Ottawa, one of their original stores, if I'm not mistaken, extremely friendly and knowledgeable but the also help to make their clients just have a better day just simply by the client experience.

I've stopped by this location a few times since we're always at Carlingwood, to pick up some vitamins I have a hard time finding elsewhere. I always have a moment of sticker shock, but then I remind myself that health is pricey (but so worth it!), and that compared to come other health stores, this place isn't actually that bad. Bonus? The staff here are lovely and really knowledgeable. So why the missing star? It's cramped in here folks. The space they have is small, and there's a ton of product, so the couple of aisle end up being really packed. Fortunately, the staff know where everything is, and I usually just ask for their help and they know exactly where it is. So they had the protein powder I was searching for (hemp, if you must know - chocolate) and snagged some vitamins. They threw in a free sample of a greens concoction that's quite pricey so that was lovely. In addition to vitamins, supplements and protein powder (of which they have a HUGE selection), they also have a bunch of organic hair and beauty products (including lots of Kiss My Face, which I love), salt crystal lamps, and some healthy, organic gluten-free foods. I like this place for its convenience, great staff and fairly reasonable prices. It's a great option if you're in the mall and looking for advice on supplements and healthier living. #30DaysOfYelp - 11/30

The Short Version: Health food store in Billings Bridge…read moreShopping Centre. Prices are comparable to similar stores. The Long Version: Natural Food Pantry has been at Billings Bridge Shopping Centre for over 20 years but it used to be upstairs near the food court, but after some renovations it is now on the main floor. It's more spacious now and better lit. They sell organic products and local products. I like their selection of single can drinks. Some of the items are only sold as singles, but some are also available by the case and I like being able to try out a flavour before committing to an entire case. They have bulk items sold by weight too. I like Natural Food Pantry. Free parking in the shopping mall parking lot. Review #27 (2026)
