Great selection...rude staff

My wife and I are frequent patrons and spend much $$ here. That apparently doesn’t matter to the owners. Which never puts anyone in the right. However when a particular staff member is constantly rude to you and your wife what do you do? I talked to the owner about it in a calm professional manner. She was just as rude, called me a liar, and threatened to call the police. All because I was expressing my concerns. Do yourself a favor and shop somewhere else. There are a ton of local options with great customer service.

Pros: Great selection

Cons: Rude staff

believe.in.yourself.

Cafe and smoothies are yummy

I got a black bean burrito. It was a 4 out of 5. They also have vegan&gf sweets. The market section is fair. Kind of over priced but honestly I came here to eat so it was worth the trip for me. I will come back again.

Pros: There is alot of options considering the area. , Fair price for the cafe food.

Cons: Market is over priced. , Might get fat with all these options.

We L-O-V-E Lovey’s

We L-O-V-E Lovey’s! When we moved to Wilmington six months ago I was vegetarian but not vegan, I have been vegan since Thanksgiving. Lovey’s is a great health food store; it is well organized and clean, and the staff is extraordinarily helpful. There is a café with a hot food bar, salad bar, and a menu of dishes that are made-to-order. Lovey’s has quickly become my favorite Wilmington restaurant. The salad bar has all kinds of interesting things (fabulous curried cauliflower salad, grape leaves, fresh green, spinach, and fruit salads) and everything is clearly marked as to whether it’s vegan and/or gluten-free. It is probably the only place I eat out where I feel completely safe. The ladies’ room is always clean and well-stocked. LOVE, LOVE, LOVE Lovey’s.

Pros: Salad Bar with all kinds of creative things., Clean, well organized health food store.

Cons: None!

Healthy veggie meal

Great veg experience. Lots of healthy, dishes with clearly marked ingredients to select from.

Pros: Eat in plates priced by weight. Reasonably priced, Buffet style or order from menu.

Vegan cake/cupcake heaven!

As for the grocery section, it's great. My husband and I got some goodies that we don't see back home. And the prices are reasonable.

But the real treat is back at the cafe section. We got a small vegan chocolate cake with dried bananas, chocolate drizzle, and walnuts. My oh my, it was amazing! So we went back and bought a tiny carrot cake cupcake. It too was delicious. Everything is clearly marked with a V for vegan and ingredients are listed. I recommend checking out their cakes/cupcakes.

Pros: vegan cake!, plenty of parking

Lovey's is very serviceable

I visited the store twice for some goods. It is mostly packaged goods and supplements, not really a full on Market. Wide selection, but no focus on local goods. I get the feeling that may take more time than they want to put to it. The cafe is big and has a decent salad bar with some hot items, but is a bit unattended too. Staff seemed nice but really acted only as employees which I guess they are. Get the feeling that management could give them more ownership which might encourage them to take more interest in customers. Buy into their savings card to be a member to save 10%!

Pros: Lots of supplements, big salad bar, lots of seating

Cons: nonchalant staff, few local goods, placeless shopping center location

Great!

We were staying out at Topsail and as vegans, knew the beach wasn't going to offer a whole lot of dining choices for us. Lovey's was a bit farther out from the island than we thought (about a half hour) but it was worth the drive. The grocery section was good but the hot/salad bar was great! More cheese than I would have liked, but still a ton of vegan options that were for the most part excellent. We had lunch and then packed a couple more to-go boxes to take back to our mini-fridge for dinner!

Pros: Vegan options, Salad/hot bar

Cons: Distance from the beach, Staff a little disinterested

Eat, Relax, Shop

Lovey's is a great place to eat really healthy food at a reasonable price and relax before you shop for great items you can't find in regular food stores.

Pros: excellent food, healthy cuisine, friendly staff

Hi gardener62, I found your review helpful. I love it when a health food store has a place you can sit down and eat.
