I had an amazing experience at Healthy Planet today. I popped in today to price shop the Coco…read moreAminos. Daniel assisted me and provided exceptional service. He googled Coco Aminos to ensure he gave me the right product. My goal was to buy it at Whole Foods where I noticed it was cheaper. Daniel shared I should buy it at HP and they could price match it which was great. In additon he upsold me on buying a huge bag of dried hibiscus and some tahini. All things I did not plan on buying but I am so glad I did. I made an excellent salad dressing for my salad with the ingredients and a refreshing and healthy beverage with the hibiscus, I am extremely grateful for the excellent service provided, professionalism and product knowledge Daniel was able to provide. I will definitely be back again soon!

Located conveniently near Yonge & Dundas or Sankofa Square, Healthy Planet is a mini grocery store…read moreselling grocery items, vitamins, supplements, and ready-to-eat items. The grocery selection is pretty good for a small supermarket in the heart of downtown, and the fruits and vegetables are pretty fresh. But given the touristy location, prices are a lot higher than the ones found in other regular supermarkets. Example: A pack of organic blueberries was $10.99 (as of Summer 2026). As for the grab-and-go food items, they have various bowls, burritos, empanadas, pakoras (vegetable fritters), sandwiches, and salads. It's good if you happen to be in the area and just need something quick, or for tourists who stay nearby, but expensive for routine regular groceries.

I don't think customer service is in their training manual…read more To be honest the attitude I was given was so rude on a basic human level. I had to order multiple times through their online system to no avail. I got the text messages. I got the email confirmation, but after waiting 4 hours I was told (like you would speak to a snotty child) that they did not receive the order and could not look up my order by using my phone number, address, or order number. Then, I can hear on the other end of the phone that one of the staff members found my order, at which point I was told that it might get to me by the end of the evening but could possibly be another 2 hours. I completely understand that you all are busy, but that doesn't give you the right to dismiss folks like they are trash. From here I decided to request a refund. When I asked for a receipt I was told that they don't know how to do that....it's 2020 folks I can attend a zoom gender reveal party but I can't get a refund receipt emailed to me? Friends--when you know better, you do better. Be kind to your neighbours and your customers. Coming from a place of compassion is a choice. I hope everyone else has a pleasant experience.

Eager to try, I decided to venture in and look at the offering. They definitely have a good selection of pantry, dairy, snacks and bulk items. The fresh food section is not as great but the rest of the products make up for it. The staff is friendly and the store has great products at low prices. It's nice to be able to shop organic and natural products without breaking the bank!

A few Friday nights ago, I had placed an order at Descendant Pizza. I had half an hour to kill. I…read moredecided to check the area out. I found Raise the Root Organic Market steps away. I love exploring a new grocery store, so I dropped by to check it out. There were so many fresh fruits and veggies at this place. The woman behind the counter immediately said hi. I reciprocated, intrigued by the fair-trade bananas from Ecuador and more. This store has a lot of vegan options. It also has gluten-free and keto items, but the vegan specialty items were prevalent. I loved seeing vegan meals in clear containers. I saw vegan marshmallows that aren't all that common. I was intrigued by the mushroom teas. I got one of the elixirs to try out. This place had coconut nog at a reduced price. I love the nog, except that it is super sweet. The price was right, though. You can get baking items and toothpaste here. I liked that the oral hygiene section was near the chocolate bars. Coincidence? I think not. I ended up getting a dark chocolate bar with coconut and skipped getting toothpaste. There was a bottle of The Good juice. It had celery, cucumber, and spinach in it. I liked the sound of that mix and got a bottle. I loved this store so much. I told the woman on staff that I loved shopping here. She was genuinely happy that I did. I paid with a debit card. All went well. I actually had my Yelp canvas bag with me that I got from Descendant. I used it to place all my goodies in it. Perfect! This market was a great find. I look forward to returning when I'm back in the area. The Good drink was indeed good! Same goes with the chocolate bar that I inhaled. (44)

This is a small store but has many items you won't find anywhere else without a substantial transit. Were you going to Rowe Farms all the way west near Riverdale for 'ethical meat'? Well they got some here. Were you going all the way up to west Danforth for some organic goods (or that aspartame-free, xylytol gum)? Well they got some here (and 4 flavors of gum). They have a reasonable selection of bulk bins at the back of the store, and the owners seem nice (it's a new store, still honeymoon, we'll see in a few months if they're not bitter and jaded...) Main complaint is that it's small and necessarily has limited selections, but for a small store of this nature: 4 stars.

For price, I just really surprise that they are a bit cheaper than other chain nutritional food store. So, I definitely will go there again if I need some vitamin and herbal stuff and etc.

While everything is a bit pricey, that is usually the standard when buying organic. They do have a lot of different types of foods and snacks too. I'm all about the blue corn nacho chips they have and the organic salsas to pair. I'm pretty sure not everything in the place is actually organic... But all in all, since this place is here for the few times I will ever need it, and because the other organic market in the area is even more expensive, I'll give this place 4 stars.
