Great place for organic lovers specially for fruits and veggies. They have an amazing collection for bulk items too from different beans, pulses, oats, raisins, seed, etc. I also like the cosmetic section with numerous natural options. I appreciate their being kind to the environment by not using plastic bags and that helped me develop a habit of bringing my own resuable bags to not only to this shop but other stores too. Among the few negatives: the prices are a little bit on the higher end even considering these are organic. The return policy is not very flexible. Also, I think they should keep some more varieties at the meat and fish section.

This is an okay store. I’ve been in a few times. I truly can not describe the smell. It just doesn’t smell right at all. Not rotten, stinky, or gross, just odd. It’s difficult to describe. Some people might love the smell. I, however do not. They have some nice products. I wouldn’t say this is a great place for groceries. If you’re looking for healthy, organic items then Aldi would probably be better. They’re more affordable, it’s peaceful, and smells fresher. I do think they have good “natural” products, hence the name of the store. This is a good place for vitamins or gut health even. A large factor in how I rate a store or restaurant is how I feel while inside the place. It’s already established that I don’t particularly like the smell, but the one event that occurred that solidified my disliking for Natural Grocers doesn’t really have anything to do with the store or employees, so I don’t know how fair this review is. I thought it’d be necessary to preface my story with that before getting into the sad order of events that occurred. It’s time I speak my truth. This has been weighing me down for a very long time. Okay I’ll start now, I decided to go to Natural Grocers with my boyfriend for a few healthy snacks and even some vitamins if I found any I liked or needed. We both were very excited for this trip because the reason for it was for a sleepover together, and we needed snacks. It was a perfect on the way stop to where we were going. Everything was fine, not including the smell, up until we reached the check out line. Let me just pause the story here to mention two things. One, I am a lover of self checkout. I love self checkout. I like that it requires zero awkward small talk with an underpaid cashier, I like that it’s easy, and I like that I can take the time I need to get the coins from my coin purse without feeling like I’m taking forever and everyone hates me. Natural Grocers does not have self checkout. Number two, I was in a great mood. I was talking to my boyfriend all excited about what movie we’ll watch and how much fun we’ll have. I truly felt that nothing could ruin the joyous mood I was in. Until it was ruined. Even thinking about typing what occurred brings nervous butterflies to my stomach and a little water to my eyes. Resume story now. I’m in the checkout line with my boyfriend. As I said, I’m excited, so naturally I might be speaking a little more loudly or animated. As a result of this I guess I got too loud or too close to the woman in front of me. So much so that she turned around and yelled at me. I don’t even remember what she said now, but at the time I felt the worst feeling. I genuinely want to cry thinking about this. I nearly did cry in the moment, but I didn’t want to overreact or embarrass myself anymore in front of my boyfriend. Looking from her perspective maybe I would’ve felt the need to yell too. But was it really worth it to yell at me when the check out line takes maybe five minutes? Couldn’t she have just flipped me off in her head or something and not yell at me? Why didn’t she just say nothing and go home later to put a curse on me? I can not imagine anything worse than what she did to me. I think about that day more than I should. I don’t know if I’ll ever recover fully from it. I feel like I could continue on about how I feel today on the subject, but it’s best to just tell my story here. Maybe someone else was a victim of her yell and will find peace with this review. Really, this is my goodbye to the feeling I’ve held onto for too long.
