I often see this store when I get my haircut next door at HIP salon…read more My main reason for today's visit was to look for some kidney stone tablets or helpful remedies to try. I ended up leaving with "Stone Free" tablets, glucosamine pills for our senior dog, chocolate chips, and facial products! I was excited to see Derma E products here, which I often ordered online from other stores in the past. Derma E has a reliable product line with options for many different skin types and for all ages. This store had one of my favorite products, the microderm facial scrub. It's a little pricey for a small jar, but a little goes a long way. I am happy to know I have a place close to home for my favorite skin care products. I also didn't know they have a little produce section here and some of my favorite refrigerated brands, like Califia Farms creamers and SO DELICIOUS coconut yogurt. The staff working were very nice and more than one person greeted me and asked if I needed assistance. I look forward to returning and trying more items.

Sarah always asks if there are any particular areas of my body that need attention and typically it's my neck and shoulders from sitting at a desk all day. After a massage from Sarah, I feel like a new person! Sarah is also sensitive to my lower back issues and ensures I'm comfortable at all times making sure she is not using too much pressure. Sarah is always professional and easy to talk to. She keeps up to date with new massage techniques and shares her vast knowledge of overall wellness. She creates a relaxed atmosphere with low lighting, a warm table & soft music and offers aromatherapy massage as well. Sarah frequently runs "specials" on some of the different types of massages she offers as well as a repeat-customer punch card that helps with the budget-minded like me! I confidently give Sarah 5 stars. She is outstanding!!

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!

It is a grocer with great organic and natural products, including gluten free…read more Plus an awesome deli with great sandwiches AND a bar AND a coffee shop with pastries, gluten free included. My husband and I were staying at a nearby hotel and needed a gluten free lighter option before a spa day. I'm so glad we found Green Grocer. It was packed. Not an empty seat in the place around 12:00 on a Saturday. We did have to circle around for parking as well, but only had to walk a short distance from across the street. I got a drip coffee with blueberry waffle flavor and cream. The coffee was very good. I believe they use Collectivo. The gluten free raspberry financier was even better. It was similar to a Madeline cookie, but larger and raspberry in the center. I would drive back just for the pastry. We also got sandwiches from the deli and two fountain drinks from bar. I loved my build your own turkey and Swiss with sprouts, lettuce, tomato's pickle, onion, mayo, mustard, and sub sauce on gluten free bread. The bar service was great too. I definitely recommend Green Grocer for sandwiches and coffee, especially if you want to avoid the craziness of downtown Lake Geneva. Seems like the locals know this place is fantastic as it was non stop busy.

It would have been nice, if they used paper cups, instead of plastic cups for their smoothie/fruit juices, to reduce plastic consumption, ending up in the trash.

It travelled well and was delicious to enjoy! While I wouldn't do all my grocery shopping here, they have quite a few gems here to enjoy!
