Excellent produce, snacks and homemade bread. Shopping here has gotten me in the habit of taking bags and to-go containers from home for stores and eateries I might visit unexpectedly. The staff is super knowledgeable and helpful. read more

This place is absolutely amazing! The people that work there are kind, helpful, and genuinely care about the work they're doing. Prices are reasonable as well. All the food is fresh, and the shop space itself is clean and well organized. read more

I love being able to buy products without plastic packaging. Dishwasher soap powder is my go to, but they offer lots of other great things. Go check them out! read more

You will really be surprised how much of your shopping list you can check off at this place! They have fresh veggies, pasta, spices, coffee, bread, pickles, etc. I love that they have daikon and kimchi for when I'm cooking Korean food. The staff is so friendly. No containers? No problem! They have lots free to use and take home. This place is a true gem. read more

I love Realm Refillery! I go here for restock on my household staples like garlic powder, face wash, snacks and more! I also find local, fresh produce that makes planning dinner fun. The staff are always so welcoming and helpful, they also take suggestions if there are items you don't see in the shop! This is the perfect stop for finding local, small batch products while feeling safe while you shop! read more

I happened upon this store and decided to look through it. The inventory is very limited. The person working there told me they are adding more items and would note my request on their list. Fun concept to have a wish list at a grocery store. Doesn't help much though in reality. I'd already checked out when I saw multiple papers on the counter that were extremely skewed in their views of the situation in Palestine. If you look back at review sites there are multiple posts from people who are likely Jewish and probably felt unsafe when they saw them. Here is a photo as an example of one. I saw this the day after the FBI released new stats showing a jump of 63% in antisemitic hate crime in the US. A store like this should care about making their customers of all religions and ethnicities feel safe. I expect they will likely reply since they have to the other reviews and perhaps make a comment about kids in Palestine like they did to another reviewer, or something similar. So I will close this review with a quote from the recent Democratic National Convention: "In a competition of pain, there are no winners." Those who care, therefore, should care for all and recognize their impact on minority communities especially. Jews are only 2% of the world population and yet constantly need to be on the defense. read more

The Realm Refillery - Health Markets Near Me - Portland, Oregon

Love love love this refill store. They have such an incredible selection of baking goods, spices, and honestly everything. The staff are always kind and helpful. Some of the prices are a little steep but they are very receptive to feedback. This is my go to spot to help reduce my purchasing of single use plastic containers. You can bring your own from home or use the ones they provide. You can donate your old containers for others to use as well! Check them out read more

Imagine being a store to better good the community?? This is it! Filled with Organic products and products that I can use less waste!? Yes please! Also the fact that they CARE about human life. I love seeing their relationship to economic and social justice. As a person who is horrified with what's happening in this world it's so nice to see people actually acknowledge and share resources to help! Aka the genocide happening in Palestine. Don't be fooled. Being against genocide does NOT make you anti semitic. Wow!! You can be against what's happening and still not hate other people!? Shocker! Anyways, literally go shop here, it's helped me use less waste and I feel like a better human doing that! read more

Love love love this shop! They are a real gem in the community. You should definitely check them out and follow their instagram too! They post some great educational content about food sovereignty read more

I visited the Refillery for the first time and bought some very reasonably priced quinoa. I was pleased at the wide selection of products--everything from fresh produce and gummy candy to nail polish and shampoos. The self-service container weighing system is simple to use, and staff were friendly. I'll definitely be back! read more

an absolute gem for anyone looking to shop sustainably in Portland! Their package-free, zero-waste approach is a breath of fresh air. Grains, produce, spices, and cleaning supplies, they've got everything you need--all available in bulk so you can buy just the right amount and avoid waste. read more

Big, big fan of this grocery store. They always have the highest quality items at really good prices. Anything I need, they have. And shopping at Realm has had such a positive impact on my health and well-being--not to mention what it does for the planet. Now, I only create a small bag of trash every three months. It's incredible! Great stuff and great deals. And it's improved my diet for the better, for sure. I'd recommend this shop to everyone. read more

Best shopping experience ever. You will not regret going to Realm! I was blown away by the well stocked bulk section, easy shopping experience and friendly and helpful staff. They even have a nice amount of produce. I stop here now instead of Fred Meyer and usually find everything I need. We need more places like this. read more

Best grocery store in town and a beacon for hope and social justice in our community. This store is operated by incredibe, kind folks and I would encourage everyone to shop here more. Their products are fantastic, well sourced, and reasonably priced! We get all our bulk items here and it has been comparable to WINCO. They also have a great selection of local seasonal produce and fresh baked goods. The Muenster cheese from Vtopian is literally the best cheese. read more

By far my favorite place to shop. Not only is everyone nice but my money is supporting a business with actual morals.

This business is specifically designed to do good. I was in today after a long absence. Their vegetable selection is vastly increased. That's mostly what I visit for. I'm glad I went in, as I was able to find enough variety that making dinner was easy. read more

I'm very excited about this new zero-waste philosophy store done well! You can get grains, beans, spices, dry cooking ingredients, household cleaners, body care, produce, bread, tea, coffee, oil, vinegar, vegan cheese, snacks, household items, and more, here. They list each item's source. A mass consumer grocery could never and would never do that. Many items are organic, they are a good source for gluten-free and dietary restrictions, and a great source for vegan. They have a unique system for food items mandated by Oregon regulations. Food items that go in jars can only go in their own deposit jars. Other food items can only go in the store brown paper bags. There are different rules for liquid soap, just ask. We need to get a focus on state law to update Oregon to post-(plastic) packaging options. They have a loyalty system tied to the jar deposit system. The store is very nicely designed in the Kinfolk vein. I found items hard to find elsewhere. In spices, I found ground rosemary, and baking-cooking ingredients like reishi mushroom powder for umami. They also have seaweeds and powders of beet, rosehip, psyllium, dandelion root, and many powdered ingredients I don't know. They have some unusual original grains in whole form, like spelt, kamut, farro, and other gluten-free options in flour like teff and brown rice flours. If you are a camper, they have some dehydrated camp foods you add water to on your cook stove, like garden veggie lasagna chips. I'm very curious about their lemon-lavender-clove powdered laundry detergent. Their vegan cheeses are packed in their unique compostable wrap. For coffee, they are rotating a small selection of two, with tasting notes and origin, so just check them on your visit. It would be a good stop for tourists and visitors to Portland to see what is possible. The Realm Refillery is a new small family business with unique products which may move you towards zero waste, and their products are healthy too! read more

Outstanding. Quality products and great people and service. Food was superior. Important addition for community and causes. Will be visiting regularly now. read more

Love this spot! Service is friendly. They have reusable containers and bags readily available. Their system is pretty easy to figure out. Love their spice selection - it's quality. They've got lots of local goods. Love to refill my vinegars and oils too. Prices are right. I just keep coming back and each time I do, they have more products!! read more

I absolutely love this store, it's my favorite! I wish it was closer to my home but every trip is worth it. The owners are super friendly and helpful. They have everything you need - vegan cheese, nuts, grains, veggies, oil, detergent, compostable and earth friendly items which is very important to me. You can get reusable containers or compostable/recyclable paper bags that you weigh so you get exactly the amount you need. They also accept EBT in case you were wondering. Make sure to follow them on Instagram where they share helpful info. Thank you for existing and making Portland a better place! read more

My absolute favorite store in Portland. It is so refreshing to go somewhere that gives a crap about what's going on in the world and provides plastic free essentials. Thank you to The Realm!! Every time iv been there the employees have been so welcoming and helpful. read more

This cute shop is a great place to buy spices. Been coming here for my cardamom fix (the green pods are great in coffee and tea), but they also have everything from soy curls to zaatar. Prices are reasonable (if not less than nearby supermarkets). read more

I love coming here for staple items and unique specialty ones! Take your time the first few goes and you will get the hang of the process! They really think of everything to keep tools sanitary, and the products transparent. If you read the labels and ask questions, you won't go wrong. I feel so intentional with my purchases and I always feel comfortable in this space. The staff is happy to be there and want to help. It has been calm and spacious every time I go, so come see it now before more people discover it! read more

Incredibly clean space, very nice bulk dispensers, nicely designed layout and systems, helpful staff, high quality products. I'm already a regular and considering membership. The only slight bummer is something theyre trying to change: a state law large retailers dont follow that prevents me from bringing in my own containers. Don't believe any low reviews about this place, they are simply inaccurate. read more

Absolutely wonderful. As a single person on a budget this place is amazing for me as I can just buy enough for me and don't have to buy a family size of things. Also I love to cook so being able to just get the amount the recipe calls for instead of buying a whole jar of what I need. Ryan and Brittany are the friendliest people. I've been several times since they opened and the place is always clean. Truly amazes me how they keep it so clean. Love this place. read more

So delighted this business has opened! The food is high-quality, all the products are interesting and varied, and the whole shopping experience is beautiful. I am blown away by the wide selection of food AND home products. I was also extremely impressed by how sparklingly clean everything is despite the bustle of shoppers who I would have thought would drop a crumb or two--none in sight! Lots of clean spoons and scoopers available so each shopper can use a fresh one. :) We'll be regulars! Keep it up! read more

The concept is a good one, but it's not unique. I have been using my own containers for many years. Some stores, including both of Portland's food co-ops and some of the other natural food stores, have no problem with using your own containers for bulk items and produce. The selection here is good, but, again, most of the items are available elsewhere at equal quality, for similar or lower prices. The Refillery refuses to provide a receipt for your purchase. This is unconscionable. Anyone buying on behalf of their boss and expecting to be reimbursed, buying for a friend, or anyone who just wants to keep a record of their expenses, should be able to get a receipt. It's also necessary for returns. Instead, The Refillery demands your email address, saying that they will email a receipt, but also allowing them to send you spam, and to sell, trade or otherwise misuse your private information. read more

Excellent products, including locally made vegan cheese, yogurt, and scones, as well as zero waste personal care, kitchen, and cleaning products. I am very grateful they're here, serving an important need. I took one star off because the vibe of the store is not as welcoming as it could be. read more

The people, ambiance and products were fantastic. Right as we entered, we got instructions on how to move around the place. All the produce was fresh and there was a big variety in everything! Would highly recommend the realm refillery! read more

I love coming here for so many reasons. First, avoiding plastic while shopping at big box grocery stores is near impossible. Second, shopping low waste as a vegan is so hard, and this store makes it so easy to know what food I can and cannot eat, because I can eat it all. The snacks are amazing here, the pastries that are sometimes there are always iconic. From everyday staples like flour, sugar, noodles, to the more avant-garde food items like blue garlic, and local plant based faves in low waste grocery form (Im looking at the Dirty Lettuce chicken, tabor bread, ramblin rose, and Vtopian cheese) in the freezer/fridge. OH AND THE PRODUCE HELLO I EAT that everyday! It is local and seasonal fruits, greens, berries, citrus, and veggies, have to love that. If the produce isn't local, it is fair trade and pays back into the economy from which the food came. Talk about a reciprocal relationship right there! If you are thinking of eating more plant based foods, dont be afraid to chat up the staff, as they have extensive knowledge on the foods and what to eat. Ryan (one of the owners) shares recipes and knowledge in such a loving way that going to Realm feels like going home. Really I couldn't say enough good stuff about this place! read more

Great store! The bulk prices are competitive with FM and Sheridan's. Very clean, organized and friendly. Great eco friendly kitchen and bath items too. Also, have Tabor bread and excellent gluten free bread. read more

I am so excited about this grocery store! It's exactly what the city needed. They have EVERYTHING and the staff is extremely kind about explaining how the store works. They took the time to explain to me how things were kept sanitary, you sanitize your hands right when you walk in, the bins, jars and all containers are closed. I've seen them walk around and make sure everything is clean and sterile, this place is very thought out. It's so easy to get exactly what you need and I've also been trying different foods since they opened, they have grains and spices that I've never even heard of. Ryan, one of the owners, was happy to tell me what the seasonings, grains, etc. were and helped with creative ways to use them. They even have a bulk beauty section with hair products and shampoos, face wash, toners, scrubs and Epsom salts. And it's all "take what you need" so you don't have to buy a full size. You can just try it out. I'm in love with this store! Aside from *single handedly saving the planet* the other thing I love is that it's a very comfortable environment. I tend to avoid grocery shopping and opt for pick up. I am always so excited to grocery shop now! It's not overwhelming and even though I'm just picking up the necessities, it feels waaayyyy cooler than that. I cannot say enough good things about this store and the owners. Highly recommend for anyone looking to find low waste alternatives or even if you're just looking to see what's possible in the package free world. Super fun experience :) read more

I love Realm Refillery!! My favorite finds so far are Ace Run roasted whole coffee beans, the mango pomegranate coconut chews, the roasted chick peas, and fresh almond butter. I can't wait to try their personal hygiene/soap products, talk about a great way to help keep packaging out of the landfill!! read more

Absolutely the best grocery store I have ever been to. The staff is kind and knowledgeable, it's a calm environment that always makes me want to browse and try something new -- and if I haven't brought enough of my own containers, they have a space for folks to leave their extras! It's a gem in pdx and I'm grateful that I live close enough to visit for my regular grocery trips. read more

So many different types of products, including some that I never thought I'd be able to find plastic free (e.g. sunscreen!) and great quality so far. Will be visiting often :) read more

I am thrilled to have a package free shop in Portland! Beautiful space, thoughtful design and really nice people.
