Everything is well priced, nothing excessively priced. I was very excited to find this store. They have bulk dry ingredients, one of them being organic barley which I cannot buy at the corporate grocery in my town. They do have an extensive supplement section. Healthier choices for snack foods, some toiletries, and an incredibly large section of chocolates at the register. The owners are super friendly and greet everybody as they enter. Since my first shopping experience, I've been back several times even though it is about a 30 minute drive for me one way. I highly recommend this small business, especially if you were looking for organic and all natural foods.

Brenda's cafe has some genuinely delightful selections. I always order Broasters coffee of course,…read morebut then I must choose from several delicious offerings and daily specials. Far and away my favorite of her offerings is her Caprese sandwich made with fresh tomato and basil and cheese served on Heidelberg bread with a touch of balsamic vinegar which adds just enough zip to make it completely addictive. I could eat it all day! Sadly this is normally only offered in the warmer months as the fresh basil comes fresh picked from her own plants. I can also highly recommend her grilled cheese, again on Heidelberg bread.... warm, cheesy, and delicous. True comfort food. She specializes in vegan and vegetarian fare too, happily accommodating the special dietary needs of her clientele. Very smart! The cafe area is an eclectic mix of cushy and comfortable tables and chairs. Terrific for sitting and reading a book. On the down side, there is no Wi-Fi and the cafe hours are limited. If you have a data plan, the lack of Wi-Fi isn't a huge issue, but I think it would do better with that one small change. It would be the perfect place to sit quietly with my laptop and do homework or write articles. So trust me when I say, check it out! And this summer, try that Caprese sandwich -- you won't be sorry!

I eat lunch at their cafe every year I attend Capitolfest, a classic film festival that happens in…read morethe movie theatre on the same block. Brenda's coordinates with the festival's organizers and allows pre-orders before the festival starts, but my husband and I usually go there spontaneously, and we're served pretty quickly despite the crowd created by other attendees. The sandwiches, soups, and salads are freshly made. Sometimes they grill burgers and hot dogs during the fest. They, also, sell a variety of drinks, snacks, and desserts. They now have kombucha on tap in addition to selling bottled varieties, but I usually choose an old fashioned, sugar cane soda in a glass bottle. Even though proximity factors into our decision to eat here, we're always satisfied with the food and the friendly service. As a bonus for Brenda's, I've ended up buying other supplies that I've run out of or forgot to pack. They have a great range of quality vitamins and supplements as well as natural body care products. They make it easy to spend money here!

I think some is from local suppliers. Everything is very clean and nicely arranged. I bought some honey, natural soaps, and soft beverages for gifts. One thing that has changed from years ago is that they now carry a range of CBD remedies. I'm sure they have many other useful items that I don't remember now. The staff who work there I knew from years back, so I'm sure they know the answers to many questions. Don't be shy to ask. You can bring your own shopping bag(s) as you do at a grocery store.

The reviews on YELP were positive for The Mustard Seed, so we had to check it out for ourselves. First impression was that I LOVED the smell of the store. It smelled like patchouli, sandalwood, and palo santo. I liked the variety of vitamins and other natural products in the store, including their selection of spices and herbs. The cafe is located in the back with seating inside and outside. My husband ordered the Harvest Salad and a soup and I had the Tuna Salad on a wrap with soup. Both of our meals were excellent and what we wanted for a healthy lunch. The Thai soup was flavorful and delicious, the tuna salad was light and fresh, and the harvest salad was fresh and the mix of the Gorgonzola cheese with the apples was very good. Highly recommend if you're passing through this area!
