Not sure if I'm reviewing the correct store. The one I went to was on King Street. Delightful…read morelittle health food store. Such a treat to have Paleo options and a large selection of supplements and kombucha and smoothies. An oasis for the weary traveler. Sales people are very friendly, knowledgeable, and helpful. It is a lot more expensive than in the USA (where I'm from), but a great little selection of gluten free & dairy free foods.

Bondi Wholefoods is one of my top places to brunch at while in Sydney - and this girls loves to…read morebrunch. I always always always get their brownie from the to-go section. It's vegan, gluten free and pretty much made of goodness. I'm such a fan. Anyway, I ordered the avo toast with salmon and button mushrooms with a house-made booch which came topped with fresh fruit. Their food is always killer and today did not disappoint. My friend always gets the eggs with bacon on toast and she was in good heaven following her meal. It's ALWAYS packed here so be prepared to stand in line. I will say though that the staff here is always on top of their stuff and are willing to work with you to create modifications. There's two locations of Bondi Wholefoods, one in Surry and one in Bondi. The Surry Hills one is the second location and I much rather go to Bondi Wholefoods in Bondi, lol. If you're in the Bondi area and don't want to eat like a tourist, check this place out. My rule of thumb is usually the more people there means better word of mouth and better food. Be prepared for some beautiful brunch!

The Health Emporium is an organic health food store much like any other. They have beautiful…read moreproduce and stock all the usual quality health foods and products. The Emporium tries to source from local small businesses and growers which is commendable but of course all that stuff is more expensive. But fantastic if you can afford it! There's seating so you can stop for lunch or a coffee while you shop for your tempeh, vitamins, virgin oils or free range eggs and I really love the food here. I love me a bit of hippy food and their tofu fritters are delicious... and the coffee is great and fair trade, natch.

Despite its mystical name, it is an abundance of all things organic and life-conscious, whether to you that means avoiding food allergies, or animal products all together, or binging on organic mung beans and popping herbal supplements. They have a resident naturopath ready to help with free consultations, a bulk food sections for those nuts, beans, grains and herbs you're ready to horde, a small resources section if that obscure vegan+gluten free cookbook has been eluding you, a juice and smoothie bar if you need that wheatgrass shot to really rev you up in the morning, and a deli counter with their own delicious creations from wraps and veggie patties to the world's best gluten-free macadamia nut brownies. I'm not joking about the brownies. They're small, but perfectly formed, just like the Health Emporium.

The staff here are friendly and helpful and have got good quality fruit, vegetable, nuts, cocoa beans, chocolate and other items that are all organic. For your first ten dollars spent here as well you get a free coconut and can also make savings if you order in bulk. I was amazed by their large rice bags filled with quinoa and not rice!

From the outside this appears to be a grubby little shop. Black plastic crates of lemons, oranges…read moreand grapefruits look singularly unappetising. I almost walked past with my nose turned up, but I glanced through the dank little doorway and changed my mind. As you walk through, the shop takes shape - it becomes lighter, more inspiring and more stocked. This is foodie and health heaven, much as the shop's name suggests. The refrigerated cabinet holds all manner of cheeses - goat, feta, sheep, cheddar, ricotta as well as yoghurt, milk and butter. An effort to keep things natural and local has clearly been made. Further down is a wonderful shelf stocked with hundreds of brown paper packages, containing a huge variety of seeds, beans, grains and flours. I can't imagine there is anything missing from this pulse-paradise. I love the fact it's all wrapped organically with labels describing exactly what is within, the nutritional information and cooking instructions. On the opposite side of the shop is a bizarre array of vast plastic tubs and containers which look as if they'd be better placed in a factory. But, on closer inspection, they are enormous pots of weird and wonderful substances such as agave nectar - usually very difficult to track down. Finally, at the back of the shop is a fabulous fruit and vegetable section, resplendent with purple carrots, crunchy lettuces and shiny fruit. This is a wonderful shop for anyone who likes organic, top quality food. Living healthily seems so easy in a place such as this, where all those tough-to-find products have their place on the shelves. It is quite expensive, but you can't put a price on top quality produce. This shop is frequently crammed with customers, glowing at the sight of such healthy food. Perhaps the Organic Paradise and Suveran's rather dishevelled exterior is a cunning ploy to keep one of Bondi's best-kept secrets under wraps.

The prices are high, but I expect to pay a bit more for some of the higher quality brands they…read morecarry. Why, then, two stars? The service here, or lack thereof, is appalling, even by Australian standards. I can't tell you how many times I've known what I want, but I can't get anyone to unlock/open the cabinet for me because they are too busy having a 30 minute conversation with a friend at the cash register/front counter. And the organization and layout is another pet peeve. I buy all my supplements online now at iHerb. Great prices, super convenient. Maybe Australian retailers will get their shit together one of these days, but I am not counting on it. This place is a definite pass in my book.

Dr Earth Go Vita is a mouthful of a name, it is true. I think it's co-branding or something…read more Whatever, I'm going to stick with Dr Earth! This "health & wellness" supplier has been around for a long time and stock a great range of big name brands like Blackmores as well as lesser known ones. They mainly stick with vitamins, natural cosmetics and homeopathic medicines, but do have a fair amount of food and definitely all the basics for a healthy kitchen. You can get your bulk oils etc here as well as exotic-sounding but standard health shop fare like tempeh, manuka honey, goat's yoghurt and protein bars. They have a great loyalty programme with 21% off everything in the store for card holders on certain days (join their email list for info) on top of the discount card holders receive anyway.

The shop assistant was very helpful and really knew his stuff I explained that I was wanting to increase my level of experientia with my surroundings and increase my memory and he suggested that I take magnesium, gingko to help with circulation in the back of my neck and also Bacopa which can be used for mental stimulation, all are natural products. i could not afford all 3 so I grabbed the gingko and bacopa and it really worked, I've run out now, but I should definitley go back for some more.
