The staff is always friendly. They have a very unique selection of items. I've gotten plenty of gifts here for just about everyone. The prices are high but everything is high quality. read more

if your a camper, hiker, climber, runner, walker, swimmer, kayak, adventurer, travel a lot or just want to be perpared for the outdoors, THIS IS THE PLACE. I remember their store in L.A. this one is just as good. Do your research first when your looking for specific items specially climbing gear. Otherwise their staff is very helpful I like this store although its turning into like a target/gift shop store. read more

I love this place. They carry a variety of toys, clothes and outdoor gear. They have a wide selection of ergonomic shoes such as Toms, Crocs, Danskos, etc. They also carry clothes and accessories for the outdoors. This is a great place to buy gifts for someone. All the staff there are very helpful and friendly. read more

absolutely the best place for children's toys and gifts as well as men and women's clothing, shoes, gear, you name it! fun helpful employees and i noticed sign on door that they are hiring. seems like a really fun place to work. read more

Extremely friendly customer service! That's the biggest takeaway I got, leaving this particular whole earth provisions. The overall vibe of this store reminds me a lot of my hometown of boulder, co with a hipster, hippie, hiker, wanderer kinda feel. A lot of earth tones and brands like patagonia and birkenstocks and materials like suede and wool. read more

The title says it all... the store gives you the same feel that shopping at Whole Foods might. But what can I say, I like it! Maybe it was the background music or the friendly staff... What you can expect is a nice collection of clothes (I like their North Face, Patagonia & Prana selection), more stylish but a little pricier than REI. I didn't check out the gear too much; I'd say REI has the more utility-ish stuff. They also had lots of kids' science-related toys. I imagine West U moms shopping here often. Post Oak location is also nice. read more

I liked this location a lot! However, the one in the Galleria is the best I've seen! I like it more than Austin's location. Shepard's location is better if you're looking for kids stuff read more

Just go in there and shop! Need a gift for your mom? Go there. How about for a kid birthday party? Check. Need some smart wool hiking socks to go with your new hiking shoes you just got there last week? How about a lovely hammock? Or a set of cool oven mitts? A lovely necklace? A coffee table book? Cool art supplies? It's just the best place ever. Drop what you are doing and get in there RIGHT NOW. read more

We love Whole Earth Provision! First time I came was years ago when I was looking for Dansko clogs for work and they had a great sale on them with prices comparable even to Amazon. Now that we have a kiddo, she loves going with us now. The toy section is pretty great and we almost never leave empty handed. The staff is friendly and helpful and they always give stickers to the young ones. Great selection of outdoor gear, clothes, and everything else you need. read more

Will never buy from them again. Bought a top and the color was 100% off and they say 'Sorry sometimes they come that way. No refunds". This place stinks and will never go there again. Stay away from this store. Find one with some Customer Service! read more

A little pricey, but an interesting selection of knick knacks. Unfortunately, their camping selection isn't huge and I could find nothing for cyclists. Of course, their children's department is EXCELLENT--I will buy presents for my friend's children from Whole Earth from now on. Educational, funny, progressive and cute stuff. And their sale rack is pretty reasonably priced. :) read more

Great store, great selection, great staff. The shoeselection is good, and they have a wide variety of goods and clothing for your every outdoor/travel need. Love it! read more

Awesome, Awesome, Awesome!!! So far, this is my favorite retail in Houston! The staff is super helpful. This is one stop shopping for the entire family. I had a blast Christmas shopping here for my husband and baby girl. I was pleasantly surprised by the toy and book selection for infants, toddlers, and children. Do not go anywhere else for toys! They had exactly what I was looking for when shopping for my husband. I can't wait to see the cute Patagonia dresses that they will carry for me in the spring : ) Both locations here in Houston are sweet! read more

Interesting place. Lots of stuff with high quality brands, like Osprey packs, one of my favs. The staff could use a kick in the butt. Good customer service does not seem to be their main goal. One of the staff gave me a pained, forced smile and kept on going, didn't ask if I needed help. Several young, pseudo-hipsters working here. All in all a weak experience for a place with so much good stuff. read more

Been to this store a few times and it's definitely a fun place to browse. I wish it was a little cheaper but it's ok for gift giving that's for sure. Really enjoy the kids' section. Feels like those old stores I grew up with that had a little bit of everything. Going in there made me realize how much I miss those stores. Picked up a cute book that my son seemed to like right away. Perhaps they have sales on kids stuff but I haven't seen one yet. read more

This place is full of all kinds of great things for outdoor adventures! They have a great variety of clothes, gear and the staff is very helpful. They also have a huge children section such you have little ones going with you. The have a wide stock of great gift ideas also! read more

You feel cool when you walk in the door and can afford to shop here to look like you can't afford to shop here.

This place looks like a lot to spend an hour or two in. Think REI stores combined with a toy store and a bookstore. I could easily get lost exploring the random trinkets, yet find exactly what I need when looking for a solid pair of sandals or unique gift. read more

One of my favorite stores to pick up unique gifts, toys and books for kids, garden accessories, and also outdoor gear!

This is such a great place. Pretty much everything is environmentally-friendly and/or sustainable. They foster a love for the land, all in a relaxed, homey vibe. There are apparel, shoes, hiking/camping equipment, travel essentials, literature on funky stuff, the environment, travel, even bird watching! It's a nature-lover and sustainable living believer's paradise. read more

High prices, but high quality and very cool products... Great job Management with hiring and training the right employees, all extremely friendly, very helpful and very motivated. Brought my daughter to get some sandals and picked up a really cool wind chime for myself.... read more

Cool store. Good stuff. The staff was very helpful on Christmas Eve.

This is a GREAT store and I recommend it to anyone who is looking for a quirky gift to buy as well as outdoor camping/hiking gear. The staff is extremely friendly. Even if you're not looking to buy anything in particular, go in and check it out... I guarantee you wont leave without buying something cool. read more

I really do love this store. And as so many have mentioned, you can find some really awesome little gifts and unique items here. But that being said this place is pretty expensive for the items that it does offer. Unless you absolutely fall in love with something, then I recommend looking for it elsewhere or online. That being said, there may be that exact off the beaten path item you never knew you wanted or needed sitting there waiting for you. Its that kind of store. read more

I went all over town to find some women's waterproof day hiking shoes. I hit the jackpot here: Keen, Merrell, Teva, Northern Face brands in a good variety of styles. The women's hiking shoe section and clothes section here are a lot better than the Galleria REI store has. The prices are really reasonable. They also have cute kid's gifts that are unique and educational. Also a nice selection of travel books. Friendly staff. read more

I was disappointed in the availability of shoe sizes. They only get 1-2 pairs of the larger sizes for each shoe, which is ridiculous for a city this size. The service was not very good either. I wanted to give it two stars, but gave it three because of the selection of toys and gear. read more

I went in with a list of items I needed. A new employee (Leah) quickly found the items I needed, made sure they fit properly and checked me out. They had a good selection of what I needed. A few weeks earlier I had gone to REI, but left without purchasing anything. Good place to shop locally. read more

Love this store. They have a great selection of out door gear and very knowledgeable staff. They also have an awesome selection of books. It's a great place to go if you want to get a gift for someone who loves the our doors. read more

Found the store on the Internet while looking for Earth sandals. Great place! Had a wonderful selection of shoes and clothes. I will definitely be back!! read more

This store is hands down the best one of all. We had a backpack issue that the staff corrected without hesitance. The employees went above and beyond to help us. We will enjoy our trip a little more now because of this. read more

What more can I say than, this is a hippies happy land! I get lost here for hours. So many wonderful gift ideas and novelty items. Anything Melissa and Doug, will make any baby shower or birthday gift a home run! read more

I've been shopping at both stores for years-sometimes alot sometimes a little. I do notice that the staff in the front of the store are always friendly and eager to help, but then it completely changes when you get to the shoe dept. I've bought at least 8 pairs of Toms(in every color-doubled up on a few) that I purchased, since I don't need any assistance, I can help myself with those(YOU CAN FIND THEM LESS @ OTHER STORES.) They have literally ignored me when I'm looking and handling the displayed shoes. Also, I hate how they tag directly on the clothing. I have not shopped nearly as much because I refuse to pay that much for clothes with holes in them. PLEASE-PUT THE TAGS IN THE SEAM!!! During time this will expand and you have a tear on your favorite shirt that you paid over $100 on. Overall the staff up front are well trained and know all about giving awesome service-not so much for those shoe guys. Beware before you make your purchase to check for holes if you value a $ or $$$. read more

A beautiful selection and knowledgeable staff. Prices higher than average, but the quality is there. I do wish the sales associates would let you browse, instead of constantly asking, "are you finding everything ok?" Often I am not looking for anything in particular. I am BROWSING. Particularly when a sale is on! read more

Giving 5 stars just because the staff is so helpful and friendly. Special shoutout to Kieran, absolutely saved my shopping trip. I had been to about 6 other stores looking for a pair of shoes and he found a pair for me in the store out of no where. Wonderful people and great atmosphere. read more

Great store for so many reasons. I have a hard time finding shoes that fit. THis store has never let me down. I wish they would open one in The Woodlands area. read more
