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!

This place is so beautiful when the lavender farms are in bloom. The gorgeous purple colour and the…read moreheavenly smell just make the experience surreal. The regular hop shop sells produce from castle farm and the surrounding farms. But during lavender season, they put up a second shop to cope with the sheer loads of visitors and all the lavender products on offer. They distill their own lavender oil on the farm and sell it as an essential oil and also as a cold or hot flavouring. Lavender products ranging from scented bags for your cupboards to some amazing lavender shortbread cookies are available for purchase. They also have massage sessions set in the middle of the lavender fields which get booked up very quickly. I'd love to return to pick our own pumpkins or apples later this year and if I'm in town for Christmas, I know where I'm picking up our protein from.

Many people associate Whole Foods with organic - which it is, but not everything here is organic. So you have to have that expectation. The prepared foods are top-notch. Hot bar, salad bar, soups, and pizza are nice... not cheap at $12/lb, but you get what you pay for. If you're a Prime member, pay attention to the daily sales. You can get whole pizzas on the cheap as well as some wine sometimes. I'll be back!

Organico is primarily a health food store that has some seating for those seeking a coffee. The coffee and pastries are quite good, but it can feel like your sitting in the middle of a grocery store. However, this is probably my only complaint. Organico serves decent coffee at reasonable prices in a semi-comfortable environment. Plus they dont mind the lengthy visits. My mother-in-law and I sat and chatted for a few hours. It was a very nice experience overall.

This shop is a combination coffee shop and organic grocery.

The sitting area for the cafe is on the upper floor, looking down on the shop, and I intend to try it out very soon--the coffee and pastries look wonderful.

It's pretty hard to find a great selection of truly healthy foods in London. Fortunately, this…read morehealth food supermarket makes up for that with its sizable quantity of high quality foods and beverages, as well as vitamins, protein powders, teas, premium organic coffees, and then some. The prices are quite hefty as is to be expected with these sorts of products, but if you play your cards right and get a few healthy products here and there and incorporate them into your diet a little bit at a time, you can get the most for your money and not have to spend a fortune every week. They also have a cool little juice bar that sells fresh-pressed juices, smoothies, and pretty good coffee...which you can add to said juices and smoothies if you're a caffeine addict, like me.

Although their products are all fresh and organic they do come with a hefty price at times... But it's worth it. If you don't want to shop for drinks and food to take home then consider going to the deli bar and grabbing a bite to eat and a coffee or juice. Their juice are superb and made right in front of you so you can see it is all fresh and not just pre produced. The coffees are amazing when going for their weirder ones made some of the health products in store.
