The racial profiling reviews are 100% true and I'm disgusted by the behavior of the staff here. I…read morevisited this place as a black male for the first time and had the displeasure of dealing with 2 highly condescending women (one named Artimis) who approached me while I was quietly browsing and attempted to rush me out of the store within only a few minutes of being there. They then proceeded to be welcoming towards a white man who came in shortly after me. Every word out of her mouth was laced with passive aggression. It's honestly embarrassing that these people claim to be healers with such deeply discriminatory and disrespectful demeanors. Herbalism and spirituality is merely an aesthetic for them with none of the values that follow. Spiritual narcissists at best. If you enjoy your tea with an egregious side of pretension and want to walk out of there feeling like crap, this is the place for you. If not, I highly suggest going somewhere else. Don't be fooled by their bandaid responses to other instances like this and the one they will probably write to this one to keep their pockets lined $$$. They don't care, hence why this has occurred on multiple occasions. No amount of sage can cleanse this place. Not typically one to leave reviews, whether good or bad, but this experience was shocking. POC beware.

We can all agree that New Seasons has gorgeous produce, high quality fish and meat, an extensive…read morecheese counter, tasty prepared foods, grab-and-go, flowers, to die for fresh baked Belgium chocolate chip cookies, and well stocked pantry items, snacks and candy. And yes, you pay for the quality. But did you know they also have awesome sales? I mean really incredible 50% off sales on highly desirable items! I'm on the mailing list for their weekly ads and when items I love - but don't buy often because of the price - go on sale for 50% off, I stock up. For example, this week all nutritional and protein bars are 50% off. That is a stellar sale since we all know that protein bars are at a premium everywhere. Their sale includes single bars - a great way to try first to see if you like the taste and texture - and on boxes. I'm a huge fan of RX Bars that have just three ingredients, getting their protein from egg whites and sometimes nuts. Typically $12.40 for a box of 5, the on sale price of $6.19 is a steal and a reason to buy several. Throughout the year they have 50% of Rao sauces, the best jar sauce in the market. Also sales on vitamins and lotions. Oh, and around February, 50% off chocolates including the high end brands. So while I shop there regularly for the high quality fish, meat and vibrant produce, I will make a special trip to stock up on my favorite items when the price is slashed in half.

Love that Hot bar Japchae noodles. I found out New…read moreSeasons was bought out by a Korean Grocery chain, so this makes sense why they brought in some of their new items in the hot plate and make your own bowel section of Asian dishes. Those Noodles and how they make them there are TOP NOTCH! I LOVE THEM! I mean I could marry them they are so good! There are so many pluses here and glad to have this in Concordia. The store has many great deals and good sales on things, but I have to urge you thats its a good idea to not sit in the eatery area that they just remodeled to make more open. The coffee stand there does okay, but is fantastic when this tall guy is there with a beard. But I have not seen him in a while. So the coffee drinks are okay, and vary from day to day. The Brewed coffee is good however. There is one thing I despise about this location, and its the amount of "extra Helpers" that seem to be right there waiting for you as you walk in. The Tamale lady outside is fine. What I find very uncomfortable is all the people that go there to bum money or always seem to want to ask you a question. The worst part? Some of them come into the area that use to be amazing to sit there, and honest to Abe, they smell worse then walking by the dumpsters. It's got better over the last year, but I noticed a real weird vibe today as I walked in and the large man who looks like a greeter seems to be blocking the entrance way into the store. It's starting to feel like Walmart or Fred Meyers where they have gates to go in and out of the store. Friendly? , I don't think so captain. Stark change from before, but it seems like this is needed more and more today as stores have to beef up security. I understand that there is not much New Season can do about this thanks to local politics in the area, but I WISH this was not the case as I use to enjoy going there for breakfast and coffee. Hopefully, things gets better in 2025.

It could be what I ordered so decided to give 2 stars instead of 1. Drinks ordered: 1. Sore - super simple, not anything special. Personally prefer more spirit forward drinks. This one was light and seemed watered down. 2. Some Cider - fiancée ordered, it was a cider and simple. Food ordered: 1. Ayum Rujak - good flavor and spice level, quality and cook were terrible. You know when a chicken wing is grilled then left in the fridge overnight as leftover, it becomes wrinkly. Chicken came out as if it was pre-cooked then tossed in sauce. The chicken wasn't even crispy, how could it be fried? 2. Sate Padang - overly strong in the curry and turmeric seasoning used, my fiancée couldn't even finish her skewer. The cook was terrible. It came out as a tough rubbery cube that tasted as if it was cooked well done from frozen. Awful. 3. Emie Medan - I don't even know the purpose of this dish. Shrimp chip, medan style noodles, potato, fried tofu, and then emping (another type of cracker). Sorry, I could be completely wrong but I think this dished missed some identity or cohesiveness. Egg on dish served cold, tofu was rubber and also cold. Sauce is super similar to the sate padang - tumeric/curry gravy essentially. 4. Nasi Goreng Tek Tek - this was probably the best thing we ordered ngl. Simply chicken fried rice with the tumeric/curry flavor. Except in this dish, it wasn't overpowering. Quality of the chicken was horrific though, dry/stringy/small pieces - probably leftovers from something. Overall, I'm not an expert on Indonesian cuisine nor do I eat it often. Excuse me if I'm wrong on how things are suppose to taste and I apologize for that in advance. But I do know how ingredients could be cooked better.

An entire multi-page menu of herbal teas that includes historical information about how the different ingredients had been used by indigenous populations? Yes please! After wanting to visit Javelina for a long time I finally got the opportunity to a couple weeks ago. SO GOOD! I got the bison chili, some fry bread (of course! ), the three sisters salad, and some tea. The chili was SUPERB, and the fry bread was the perfect dipping accompaniment to it. The three sisters salad had such a good flavor balance, with the squash giving a perfect hint of sweetness against the other ingredients. I love herbal teas (my mom grew her own herbs and would make all different ones for us growing up), so it was such a delight to see the huge variety of in-house-made herbal teas available. I forget the name of the one I ended up picking (I think it was something like three tribes). It was great and exactly what I was looking for).
