    Supplements

    If you can't find it at your local drug store vitamin aisle; you have given up on the GNC franchise in the strip mall; and you just don't trust that the stuff you can order online is pure enough, then it is time to visit Black Forest Acres. They have just about every vitamin, mineral and supplement imaginable, and usually from more than one manufacturer. Not only that, but the folks working there know where everything is. You are not left on your own to get on your knees to see what is on that bottom shelf in between the G's and H's. My search of Grape Seed Extract had come up empty at the potency, quantity and price I was looking for. Back in the day (1 year ago), it was available in every Rite Aid, and even in many supermarkets. Now, it is as hard to find as Rare Earth metals. Sure, anti-oxidants are becoming more popular, but supply and demand should make the necessary adjustments. Not so for GSE. So, I found myself at Black Forest Acres wandering along the long wall full of jars and bottles with nutritional elements arranged by manufacturer or distributor. A mind numbing experience. A cashier saw my perplexed visage and came over to assist. She found two alternatives, neither of which were the dosage nor price I thought acceptable. So, we both continued to search the shelves and came up with at least three more choices. The double bonus bottles @ 50 mg per capsule was close enough to my specs, and I bought two sets. Not cheap by any measure, but at least I had what I thought would help maintain my health. On the way to check out, I noticed the dining area on the other side of the building, and the small kitchen in back. The blackboard specials looked interesting (and even good for me), and I made a mental note to return to explore this corner of the Black Forest.

    Excellent spacious health food store with a cafe. And the incredible thing about this building is that it used to be a movie theater decades ago -- where my spouse went as a kid. We were in the area to visit the sculpture museum and did not have many vegan options in this land of traditional Italian until we found this place. The cafe has tempeh salad that can be made into a sandwich or wrap, same deal with the vegan chicken salad. We chose the delicious pumpernickel wraps. There is a (vegan) quinoa sweet potato burger and several vegetarian burgers (with egg and cheese). The menu also has vegan chili, a daily soup, and many salads. And you can add soy cheese to sandwiches, just not sure which kind. The only non-dairy cheese I have found to be good is Daiya, but I have not tried Teese or many of the new ones coming out. We wish we had tried the vegan coconut frozen yogurt! They have wheatgrass at the juice bar and plenty of grab and go meals which make a nice alternative to crappy fast food. The large seating area is comfortable, and we grabbed some groceries on the way out. The manager was nice enough to see that we were new and asked us if we needed anything and also filled us in on the extensive renovations. The checkout staff is very friendly too.

    Best place for all your health needs. The staff is very knowledgeable and polite would not go to any other health food store

    Thank you for going the extra mile to find my Women's Transition Compound. Couldn't find it…read moreanywhere and Pennington Store, Ewing store and Langhorne store were out of it. Ewing had ordered it a few days ago but I wasn't sure what was happening. Spoke with Ken, (Langhorne store) who called around for me, couldn't find it but then talked to the Ewing store who finally got it in, Ewing did follow up to call me and say they would hold a bottle for me. I had given a bad review last year but I love the service I got today. !!

    I wish I could give more stars, because the selection is good. But the customer service and…read moreexperience at this location is so poor, I gave up trying to give this local store my business. I used to shop there every two weeks for the past three years, but never again. Waiting anywhere from 10 to 20 minutes while the staff caters to other customers is the standard-poor-service they provide. Customers at this location are very rude and aggressive and the staff does absolutely nothing about it. I've been cut off mid-sentence by customers who demand attention and refuse to wait their own turn. Instead of instilling order and civility, the staff panders to such behavior - seemingly too scared or disinterested to do anything about it. Yet, they have no problems telling me and other customers behind to wait!! Since when do rude customers get better service?? At Big Bear in Ewing they do!! Last time, a cashier interrupted helping me, so she could help a very rude customer who came in AFTER me!! Right smack in the middle of my transaction, the customer walked in and shouted - over my shoulder - asking for a product. Instead of finishing up with me or asking him to wait, she simply dropped what she was doing with me and helped him. I waited 14 minutes while she helped him and she offered no apology whatsoever. This happened in many other scenarios over and over. It is really stunning behavior to experience, as a customer. If the phone rings while you're being helped, you must wait while the customers on the phone get service first. All of this is very ironic considering you're assaulted with offers to "help" the minute you walk in the door. (Seriously, let the door shut behind me before you ask if I need help.) This location was supposed to move to another location last year, but never did. They shut their juice bar down way too early which is a shame because the shakes were pretty good. There is obviously some serious mismanagement at play, which is a shame because health food options are extremely limited in this area. I've also been to the other locations and while the help is extremely slow, at least they treat all the customers the same. They make all customers wait until they have finished talking amongst themselves. Ha! And beware - only certain customers are allowed to interrupt. The rest of us must wait! Up to now, I was willing to overlook the service problems to help support local business. Ewing needs it. They do have a good product selection, the prices aren't outrageous, and the juice bar (and food) was pretty good. I used to spend nearly a thousand dollars at Big Bear each year. But I've had it. No more. I don't like fighting to keep the staff's attention. It really is outrageous. I wonder how many other former customers feel the same way.
