The store required employee assistance for any bulk items. I assume it was because of COVID-19, but it was unclear. Ironically, my partner and I were both wearing masks, but neither employee was. My partner wanted to grind coffee beans. The owner Kristina seemed to have a lot of difficulty figuring out the grinder. My partner had used one of our cloth bags, so Kristina said she needed the tare weight. I said it was written on the bag, but she was confused. She eventually understood, but couldn't figure out how to enter it into the computer, so she gave us one of our items for free. That was generous, but the whole interaction was long and awkward.
Everything here is organic which makes things so much easier. They have a large selection of vegan goods and also have a lot of essential oils, herbal teas and options to buy in bulk. I once called them to see if they carried vegan marshmallows and although they don't, the worker told me that another customer orders a whole box through them and pays/picks up there. So it's possible that in some cases they can help you with special orders.
I had such an amazing experience while shopping in this store!
The customer service representatives were so helpful, and were always there to let us know if things were not only healthy, but tasted yummy also!
The produce there was so bountiful, and lusicious, I wanted to bite into the carrots the second I laid eyes on them! The fact that it was all 100% organic was also sublime.
The store also has a hidden treasure that not many know about, which is their oversized section, of wheat-free and gluten-free products. They had everything I could imagine, and are willing to order any additional products that I could want of need, that they did not carry.
I can not wait until I run out of produce, so I can sink my teeth into their selection once again!
