Central Valley Health Foods Since 1970 - Edit
Over 50 years serving the Modesto community at the McHenry Village Shopping Center. Cute spot with friendly staff. Lots of supplements pre-dating other larger health food chains. Spotted some never before seen items, would check them out again for their vegan options or snacks. Bummer that pricing isn’t readily available on aisles.

Sweet staff and solid food - Edit
My husband and I love going to Village for a sit-down, low key lunch. My husband always gets the vegan wrap and I get the vegan burger. They come with a side of tabouli and chips. Staff is knowledgeable about vegan options. They also have a wide variety of juices and smoothies. They are located inside a grocery store, so you can do your shopping after!

It’s okay - Edit
This is a health food/supplement/grocery store that also has a juice bar/sandwich counter inside.
Read moreThe store has a lot of supplements and plenty of vegan specialty food. Though they don’t carry everything you can think of, I did see some follow your heart vegan honey mustard that I haven’t seen elsewhere, so I bought it. Prices are pretty reasonable for the items when compared to prices on those same items elsewhere. There is a medium sized bulk items section, but you might find more of the common staples at sprouts just around the corner. The herb section was pretty big (I thought), though I’m no herbalist, so I’m not sure that I would know what you even do with most of that stuff. The store is not vegan, there is honey on tap, and there are also bone broth/paleo supplements and weird fad diet books galore, so there’s the good the bad and the weird to be found here, but it seems like a useful store. I can see myself comparison shopping for prices on toiletry/beauty products between here and sprouts.
As for the sandwich/juice bar: I didn’t get juice, so no comment there. The first thing I thought I was going to order, the chicken of the soy sandwich, turned out to have egg in it (which you can’t tell that from reading the menu). I ended up getting the veggie burger and veggie pita, and splitting each with my husband. Each came with kettle barbecue chips (which were vegan, but I still read the ingredients listed on the bag to be sure), and tabbouleh, which was very good. The workers were both very nice, but I could tell they were stressed out and frazzled by the lunch rush, and asked me more than once if I had ordered already (I had). It was at least a 15 minute wait for the sandwiches, but I wasn’t in a huge hurry, so, no big deal. I could tell that many of the other customers who arrived and ordered before I did were not as laid back about the delay. Overall, I’m glad this place is here and exists, since there are so few vegan options in Modesto, but I will probably not go here again as long as TNK vegan cafe is open. I felt a little stressed out just watching them, since it’s an open counter set up.
Pros: The food tastes good, Friendly workers, It’s something vegan in Modesto?!
Cons: Vegan options are not clearly labeled on the menu, Not a good set up for a lunch rush, Not that many vegan options
