There were two people working when I came in and both were very friendly and accommodating. The business seems very clean and it has been newly renovated. I recommend everyone to come check it out.

Now that's a good strawberry and something we don't see often enough at places like this, or grocery stores. This is high quality fruit and I will be bragging about it : ) so so impressed. I loved the mix of acai and pitaya. Pitaya will always be my favorite but I do appreciate a refreshing acai bowl as well. Pictured here is the medium cup. You can add as many toppings as you want and it's included in the original price (thank you for doing this acai angel bc this girl loves all of the toppings) I wish I lived closer because I would be here every other day of the week. If you love fresh fruit bowls, you Have to try this spot - It will become one of your new top 2 places in Jax! ty @Miholovestoeat and @socialfeeds for continuing to convince me to make the drive to mandarin to try.

I can't fathom that pricing on a regular basis for just a wrap and not even some chips to go alongside lol.

I ordered my dad a strawberry banana, my son a strawberry, banana, and pineapple and myself an Acai Berry. My son loved his smoothie and my dad drank about half of his, so considering he wasn't feeling well, that was pretty good. I absolutely loved my Acai berry and was happy I could sub splenda instead of added sugar. The smoothies were all well blended and were ready on time, at least I assume as I got lost getting there so they sat for a bit. There was welcome by employees and the parking lot is a bit of a pain, but overall I'd visit here again.

They recently celebrated its 20th anniversary too!

Grassroots Natural Market in Jacksonville might be the most gloriously hippie health-food store…read moreI've ever set foot in. You can smell it before you're even through the door. Not in a bad way, but in that unmistakable health-food-store aroma that tells you there are herbs, oils, supplements, organic everything, and probably someone blending wheatgrass in the back with spiritual conviction. I walked in thinking I'd grab a couple of health bars or maybe a smoothie, and suddenly I found myself in what felt like a live-action documentary about modern hippie culture. Real hippies. I'm talking long dreads, natural fabrics, calm serene smiles, and an energy that says they own a crystal collection and know each crystal by name. The vibe inside was amazing. Everyone looked like they were on their own personal wellness quest, floating around the aisles with purpose, shopping carts full of things I didn't even know existed. I felt like I needed to level up spiritually just to stand near the kombucha section. And the café area had this cozy, earthy coolness to it that almost convinced me to sit down and contemplate the meaning of life over a smoothie bowl. The whole experience was wild in the best possible way. Grassroots Natural Market wasn't just a store that day. It was a full-on immersion into the hippie heart of Jacksonville, and honestly, it was fabulous.
