Wonderful small grocery store with many organic and specialty items I would have to drive to Whole Foods to get. If you have lactose or gluten intolerances &/or are vegetarian or vegan, this place has many options. The prices are good too! I like that I can take my kids and we are in and out quickly, unlike the large grocery stores.
Love this store. The staff are super helpful and they carry a ton of products I can't find anywhere else.
Pretty good selection of uncommon organic and holistic items. From produce, foods to household items. I got moisturizers from here and they did not disappoint. Great-tasting kombucha.
The deli here always has two soup options typically one vegetarian and one vegan they are always absolutely hearty and delicious. Today I had a coco curry veggie soup and I would love to post a picture but it would be an empty bowl! They offer Ezekiel bread rolls or with the soup and they have many other options. My meat eating son loves their Green Earth vegan burger here and this is the only veggie burger he will eat. Today they also have vegetarian calzones and always have an assortment of salads, sandwiches, smoothies and juices. I highly recommend the deli for lunch a very reasonable priced, nutritious and delicious option.
Since this is the closest independent health-food store to me, I do what I can to stop in here and buy a few things. Their selection of foods and rare anti-GMO, organic and the like....I can write multiple paragraphs. I love buying sodas, snacks and bulk foods there. Even their cleaning products and vitamins are excellent. Some of the items are reasonably priced. I've only eaten in the deli part once and it was alright. That being said, there are a couple downers: 1) like all the other Yelpers were saying, yes, Dierbergs and Target have some of the brands they carry and I can get them cheaper at those stores. I like shopping at small family-owned businesses but Dierbergs has those Xevia sodas for a great deal and unfortunately Green Earth hasn't tried to compete with them. 2) Beware of those coupons you get in the mail. You know the one that says something like $5 off when you buy $30 or 35, something like that. They do NOT count sale or clearance items. The only time I had to deal with a rude employee was when the cashier pointed that out to me. But I wish they did count that, otherwise to the owner(s): Please keep up with the times, yo!
