So they have a store side where you will find delightful spices, tea pots etc... and then they have the tea room where you can sit and enjoy a pot of tea in delightful little tea cups and so much more, including pastries. I almost want to keep this place a secret but I won't because it's a gem in our city. Service was helpful and friendly.

I love looking at all the different teas and finding new favorites. The staff is usually very friendly and helpful. I love to stop by when I'm in the area.

I guess I'm really showing my age. I miss the older smaller store. This one is too big, I can…read morenever find anything. And the cost of things went up enormous once they moved. I know that's not the only reason. But holy cow.... 27 bucks for mouth wash? 10 dollars tofu I can get somewhere else for half the price, same brand? 8 dollars for gluten free pasta? Who can afford to shop here? Come here with a list. Get exactly what you and GET OUT. Definitely support them if you can, its a mom and pop, but the fanciness is a real put off for me. I local healthy store should be small, homey and honest. The pretense here is a bit much. And I cant afford it.

Rude employees. Here's the breakdown: 1. No one greeted me…read moreor said hello when I walked in. 2. Dude was stocking shelves with his very loud heavy metal rock music playing which was target offense. Shouldn't a place like Natural Pantry only permit music therapy kind of sounds? 3. Overzealous LP dude who must still be upset he failed the Trooper Academy gave my wife grief for smelling the AROMATHERAPY items. He was both rude and inappropriate. 4. The entire store both looks and smells like 1970. 5. My nurse friend is opening up a wellness center that is going to carry updated clean and natural products and have professional staff to help shoppers rather than harass them.

This place is amazing! We were looking for Juneau-made Barnacle products, and this was on their…read moreproduct locator. Stepping in, we were awed! A local green house with healthy, fresh, greens and mushrooms, and even some other products in the fridges. Staff was informative and friendly, and pricing looked between $4-$6 for a bunch of lettuce--not only comparable in price, but fresh and not wilting/rotting. It was warm and bright inside, and we will definitely be back!

I can't believe I'm just now finding out about this super produce growing operation!!…read more They grow a large variety of lettuce, greens, herbs, and Edible plants. They do offer a weekly share purchase opportunity as well as walk in market times to buy the most delicious fresh salad greens. Hydroponically grown and picked within moments of your purchase these greens stay "alive" in your fridge till you eat them. Super clean, open space, that smells amazing like fresh green garden. They also have a small selection of local made canned beverages and a selection of Evie's ferments in the cooler. I'm definitely a fan!

I don't stop in here nearly as often as I should but when I do I'm always reminded of how much I…read moreenjoy this little shop. There are just some days when I don't feel like making my own smoked salmon dip and those are the days I stop into this cute little place, that being said I really dig their smoked salmon dip. They also have an excellent selection of "tinned fish" if that's your thing (it's totally mine). All kinds of neat sauces and seasonings as well as a cold case where they carry a variety of their own cured meats. I also swing in here when I'm looking for a gift for someone that I don't know what to get, I'll find some cool candy or such. The staff is always super friendly and ready to assist (and give free tasty samples) from their cold case. Also a bonus for me, located in my favorite part of town Spenard!! *pro tip* Their salmon and sausage products are also sold across the state in grocery stores and even in Costco!!

Out of Eagle River, she has also started selling out of a local spice shop 'The Spice & Tea Exchange of Anchorage' on the Southside. So there the owner had samples to taste! Fell In love with the Blackberry Bourbon and 'Spicy Raz' berry ... both awesome! Pomegranate Mesquite is another favorite of ours. So I smoke pork and beef ribs and guess what. Why make a sauce when they have perfected some home grown Alaska ones!? I use them frequently! Slap some on your meats and enjoy!

I'm still kicking myself for not snapping photos when the food hit the table because every dish…read morethat came out was absolutely picture perfect. The presentation alone deserved its own spotlight, with vibrant colors, thoughtful plating, and that "don't touch it yet, just admire it" kind of appeal. The salmon panang curry was hands down my favorite. The salmon was perfectly cooked tender, flaky, and rich sitting in a velvety panang curry sauce that balanced creamy coconut with just the right amount of heat. The flavors were bold but beautifully harmonious, with a depth that made every bite better than the last. It's the kind of dish you immediately start planning to order again before you've even finished it. The tonkotsu miso soup was equally impressive. The broth was luxuriously rich and full-bodied, with that slow-simmered depth you hope for in a great tonkotsu. The miso added a savory complexity that made the whole bowl incredibly comforting. Every spoonful felt warming and satisfying perfect for an Anchorage evening. Beyond the food itself, the overall experience was wonderful. When a restaurant manages to combine stunning presentation with flavors that truly deliver, it stands out and RickShaw absolutely delivers. I'll definitely be back... and next time, I won't forget the photos.

As far as butchers go, this place is pretty classy. They're kinda snobby- the kind of place i…read morewould expect to find in Seattle or NYC. But holy shit do they have the meats. Most impressively are their selection of bacon and sausage varieties and ground meat types. They also have a nice selection of locally made cured sausages and meats as well, such as prosciutto and prosciuttini. Some of their items are a little spendy, but its to be expected given our location, but other items, such as their 85/15% ground beef is CHEAPER than the grocery store. If that isn't incentive to shop there, I don't know what is.

In the summer it's all from Alaska and in the winter they supplement from some great farms in Washington. Their customer service is top notch and they have a super easy to use website to order from and customize your "produce share". You can get everything from Alaska milk, eggs, and meat to kelp salsa and Alaska barley products. The variety of fresh produce available is also fantastic and I always get something fun I wouldn't of tried otherwise (but you CAN choose exactly what you want).
