The best thing about NG, 100% organic fruit and veggies. You don't have to cipher through to find…read morethe organic veggies and fruits you need like you do at most grocery stores. The store itself is extremely clean, well kept and the staff is helpful. I am sometimes disappointed they don't have certain brands or flavors ( Mikey's regular flavor English muffins) and a few other things. Sometimes I wish they carried more local type items, night shade free bbq/ketchup that is made in KC. I can typically find all of my healthy food here, for my everyday cooking. When you become a member ( super easy and you get points and coupons) they have speciality prices on things like organic eggs, avocados, bacon, kombcha. These special prices are all the time for members. Totally worth it for organic avocados and eggs!!!! They sell other items in bulk, organic almonds, cashews, coconut shreds, spices, seasonings and such. Makes it really easy to refill your jars at home and much cheaper then always buying new jars. They carry grab and go items, health and beauty items and supplements/vitamins. If you are looking for a healthy grocery option, head to NG. Sometimes their veggie and fruit prices are cheaper than Whole Foods, sprouts and Hyvee ( and better quality).

Their produce department looks well maintained and properly sourced, they have a decent supplement department, their bulk spices are significantly superior and less expensive than their competitors, and you can't beat their pricing on eggs if you are an NPower member. The store always looks clean and the employees are always friendly, knowledgable, and helpful. My only complaints are the food selection in the store as well as limited fresh meat options (almost everything is frozen). And, I wish this location was larger like the ones in Lenexa, Lawrence, and Liberty. If it was larger, I would shop here more often.

Low sugar and relatively low carbs and when I get some add ins very helpful when you can't eat. I took a short break when I could finally eat solid foods again and was in the middle and of moving but missed my Gladiator. It really does matter who makes your smoothie and on both my visits, my smoothie tasted really good. My go to is the chocolate Gladiator with peanut butter, cocoa, and banana. Yummy! On my last visit, I went in just a few minutes before close and felt bad about it but the younger lady working there was pleasant and had no problem making my smoothie, waiting on someone in the drive in window making açaí bowls, and even one more customer who walked in right after me. The location was sparkling clean and decorated cute for the upcoming Valentine's Day holiday. This is the closest location to my house and I'll be back soon!

When I go in a week later to return said product they tried to not give me my money back and instead do in store credit.

Will never be going back.

I recently convinced a friend who couldn't find her favorite deodorant to try the crystal kind made…read moreof nothing but mineral salts. "You can get it anywhere," I told her. But I was wrong. So I stopped in at the Emerald Forest during lunch one day. I was pretty sure this local health food and supplement store would carry it. They did have mineral salts deodorant -- two varieties in fact. The health and beauty section was probably the best-stocked part of the store, so I browsed around in the toothpastes, soaps and lotions for awhile. Every product I picked up was cruelty-free, and most were organic too. I made my way through the rest of the store more quickly because unlike the health and beauty aides, the other sections weren't quite as well-stocked, that is until I reached the vitamins and supplements. Emerald Forest's selection rivals GNC in this area, which must be their bread and butter. If you're used to the robust offerings at Whole Foods you won't be impressed by Emerald Forest. But if you just need the odd jar of amino acids or a big bottle of multi-vitamin and mineral supplements with whole food concentrates, they can hook you right up.

When stacked against giants like Whole Foods, you have to come in expecting that merchandise would be on the low side but here it's almost non-existent. I stopped counting the empty produce bins and shelves early on. Selection was scarce for many of my usual staples - cereals/granola, yogurt and pizzas. Their selection of herbal teas weren't bad with a full line of Celestial Seasonings, Yogi and Stash teas. Unfortunately, I have had the pleasure of experiencing Trader Joe's and that makes me almost shy away from any other place because their selection, pricing and service always outshine the rest, including Whole Foods or Wild Oats. For small shops, I always look for quality, selection and the friendliness of the workers, all of which were lacking substantially at Emerald. Not my kind of jewel.
