They also have a lot of teas, coffees and organic foods. There is a spice wall and tea wall for bulk bagged amounts. I enjoyed seeing health-conscious items as well such as no sugar added, protein desserts etc. However, things here are very expensive especially if they're harder to find in other stores in the area. I was surprised at how much tempeh cost here. I also was pretty put off by some of the pseudoscience posters, like one right at the entryway sharing how to stop diabetes naturally--without insulin. The employees were all very nice, polite and helpful. The store was clean and orderly.

I frequent this location 3X per week, as it offers Vegetarian items on my list of important lunches…read moreand dinners. The Natural food section of Wegmans may offer similar items, but prices are generally the same, and the variety of Vegan/Vegetarian items at Greenstar is more to my taste and palate. The breakfast hot bar includes Beyond sausage links and scrambled tofu (also buttermilk biscuits for the southern inner child in all of us). I especially like the Indian food options at Greenstar and the small lunch prepared foods like spanakopita, vegan club sandwiches, and burritos. Frozen foods offer Cascadian Farms frozen cherries, which augment my daily bowl of Oatmeal. The NA beer section is comprehensive including the latest offerings from Athletic.

GreenStar is my favorite market in Ithaca!! I think the prices, especially when it comes to vegan…read moreitems, are either similar or CHEAPER than Wegman's. They have such an extensive merchandise, and a wonderful prepared foods/baked goods section!! I recently tried the "Made to Order" sandwiches, and it was DELICIOUS. I made mine with BBQ seitan, hummus, vegan cheddar, vegan mayo, spring greens, tomato, + condiments on a baguette. So flavorful and such a wonderful size. I've also placed special orders for their cakes and it was sooo good. My family couldn't been believe it was vegan! Outside of their food, the staff is always super friendly and helpful with any inquiries. Additionally, the store is always super clean and never too busy. They also have CO-OP member savings which are amazing! I love GreenStar!! :)

This place is great!!! It brings a light into downtown, it has fresh produce, premade snacks, and…read moregroceries for everyone. There are so many different items that I'm sure no matter what diet you are adhering to (vegan, keto, etc) you can find something you'd love. The staff are always wonderful and helpful and it is very clean throughout the whole store. It is on the pricey side for groceries, but I'd rather be shopping locally for a higher price than at some store that doesn't help the community!

A hidden gem just off of the Westcott St. neighborhood near Barry Park…read more Specializing in local produce (veg, breads, dairy, and local coffee roasters) they also have a wide selection of organic, vegan, vegetarian and fair trade items. I go weekly for their selection of eggs, yogurt, butter and coffee. They also just remodeled the interior and there is more room, plus a decent selection of craft beers that you won't find anywhere else in the area. They also have fresh made take out sandwiches, salads and snack packs. I love their dill tuna and waldorf chicken salads. Super friendly staff and if you become a member, you get a 10% discount on every purchase.

Great hidden gem! Has a great selection of products, very kind staff. Will be returning for sureread more

I think some is from local suppliers. Everything is very clean and nicely arranged. I bought some honey, natural soaps, and soft beverages for gifts. One thing that has changed from years ago is that they now carry a range of CBD remedies. I'm sure they have many other useful items that I don't remember now. The staff who work there I knew from years back, so I'm sure they know the answers to many questions. Don't be shy to ask. You can bring your own shopping bag(s) as you do at a grocery store.

What a great find!…read more Just a little store but had most of what I was looking for; pantry, produce, household, deli, etc, lots of vegan items which was greatly appreciated while traveling through this area. Picked up some Gardein frozen burgers (meatless) they are awesome! If you're nearby and into anything healthy, organic or vegan or just want to support a great local business, do stop by!

Went here for the first time, with my mother. It's a bit of a drive for us coming from Hector, but…read moreit's an easy pretty drive. We ate at their cafe. We both had a cup of Potato and Ham soup, and split a BLT. It was delicious, very fresh. Not skimpy on the bacon...at all. The sandwich was perfectly distributed. Much larger than I anticipated. Made with their local bacon and tomatoes. Loved the atmosphere, the cafe had a cozy vibe. We were seated next to the gas fireplace. We had enough privacy to talk, noise level was normal. Order your food at the counter, collect your condiments, napkins, and Salt pepper shakers at long counter. Then sit down and enjoy yourself, until they bring it out. Service was very quick. After we cleaned up our plates and table. They have a place for you to put your dirty dishes and cups, along with trash, and recycling. Then we went into the bulk grocery part to look around. We both ended up buying sweet treats for later. I bought a cherry fry pie. It was super fresh and tasty. I enjoyed it with my evening herbal tea. I also bought some rice and a few other staples. I will definitely be back for a 2nd trip. They have a lot going on. The place was super clean. Items easy to find. It's not all bulk, they have their items from small to bulk, so if you are in a 1 or 2 person household, do not let the bulk in their name scare you off. It's worth a trip, for some organic homemade items.

Close the base of a spectacular waterfall is this amazing coffee shop. I could smell the Java before we even got close to the door. Nice inside the waft of coffee beans and baked goods tantalizes your nose. It was love at first sniff. We met the owners who were so sweet & kind, along with their little Bub who had just turned one. Cutie patooty. This place is decorated so well. It literally felt like we were sitting having coffee with friends. Great taste on the tongue and the eyes. We both decided on iced cold brew. They have a variety of scones and bagels. I chose the fig, goat cheese and rosemary scone and my love chose the everything bagel with hummus. I am a scone snob and I will tell you that scone was buttery, savory and scrumptious. The sweetness of the fig & tang of goat cheese married together with the herbal essence of rosemary was absolute perfection. Bravo.....I am truly a fan. I did have a small bite of the bagel and it was tender and flavorful. There wasn't even a crumb on either plate. Thank you for having us ya'll. This Kentucky girl will definitely be back!
