Stopped here last Saturday, walked in shelves are half empty and they only Cary plain ezekiel4:9 bread. No one was even there to help you. They have a better selection at the Kroger in Kodak.

Catering to a crowd that my wife and I don't belong to may be why we decided on the 3/5. Had the black bean burger which was very good, but no drinks available other than the bottled/cans in the store which were $4 for a healthy vegan drink when I just want a Diet Coke or Sweet Tea! The grocery/cafe... More

This place is a little gem. I absolutely loved their black bean burger. Only wish they served dinner too!

I really wanted to love this place but was completely let down. The ultra touristy chain restaurants on the main street are seriously unhealthy, that's why we ventured to this part of town hoping for a few more veggies. We ordered a couple of vegetarian wraps to take away but the problem was that they were loaded with way too... More

We are sorry the veggie wraps were not to your liking. There is actually not any salt added to the wraps. The vegetables do have Braggs liquid aminos in the marinade which can taste salty. We sell lots of these and haven't been told they tasted too salty before. We prepare these fresh when ordered so perhaps I got a... More

I wouldn't make a special trip to eat here but since this is a natural foods grocery, I do like to shop here for natural foods and supplements and if hungry, the cafe is a good place to eat a hearty Veggie Wrap or Black Bean Veggie Burger or to enjoy a salad such as the Grilled Black Bean Veggie...

We stopped in here for a quick lunch on our way to the National Park, the food was good and the shop is cute. The prices for food were a little high, but not nearly as bad as they are on the main strip. Definitely worth checking out!

We stopped in to pick up a few items and the person working the register came right out on the floor and helped us with our shopping. The selections were a little limited but we were so glad to have another option to "Food City".

This little cafe rocks! The food is fresh and wonderful. The place is super clean too, which is so important to me. The chicken salad and tuna fish salad sandwiches are some of the best I have ever had anywhere. The wraps are crazy good too! I love the earthy feeling of the store and I was super pleased to...

Stopped here randomly while looking for benedryl. Great little store, independently owned (no they don't have produce, nor did we expect them too). Lunch was great and owner was really knowledgeable about homeopathic remedies and herbs. Purchased soaps, tee tree oil and homeopathic allergy medicine that actually worked! Loved visiting this unexpected little store, support them when you can!
