The guy working on the weekends (employee? owner? not sure) is nice and polite and always has a smile when we're there. We enjoy picking up unique beer and ciders from the wide assortment in the fridges in the second half, as well as finding interesting cheeses. It's also great for the one or two things you might need that evening or snacks for later. My only complaint is I wish I lived closer so I could go a bit more often!

This convenient little shop has an excellent wine selection and lots of upscale consumable options…read more Their wine pricing is also often less than the average prices listed on Vivino. It's a grocery store, but has a bit of a boutique and rich vibe. It's one of the few places to get Mary's Chicken in the area and I have to get chocolate every time I go in there. The ambiance seems very hygienic to me, so I feel drawn into the place when I walk by. The Nature Stop has nice stuff, but my review has to be in earnest... maybe 2 or 3 stars? It's annoying that through several iterations of ridiculousness, you have to expect encountering some unnecessary and incompetent problem during each transaction. Two different cashiers didn't seem to understand the concept of tare weight. They weighed the meat with the packaging and attempted to charge me for it, despite the fact that the weight of the meat was printed directly on the packaging. I've worked in a meat department before and I have never seen that kind of inept behavior. It's insulting to the customer. So at the present time, the 2021 Domaine Bousquet Malbec is $11.99 here. The cashier scanned it and it came up as zero. He joked that it was free, but then had the audacity to offer me the obviously more expensive reserve price of $16.99, like the reserve one right next to it, and laughed in my face. I passed as I knew that Trader Joe's has the exact same thing for $9.99. Tonight, the Elysian 'tiger beer', listed at $13.99, rang up at $17.99, the same as their space dust. I passed, but they should at least have offered to have honored the price they had printed out for customers to read. The Space Dust IPA at S&S Market, one block away, was $15.99, so I bought it there and got to pet their cat too. It's a bit of a first world problem, but I didn't notice until being at home that my $6.25 chocolate bar, which is more than I made hourly when younger, was comprised of the wrong variety. I grabbed the chocolate bar behind the front one, to avoid the most touched one. It is a berry chocolate bar instead of the ginger one, and it's great, but still, the employees should be better at recovery. I was one of about two people in the store and it was not busy. I recommend going to this place to get ideas. Double check all the prices and shop around, but they have great merchandise. My suggestion to the owner is to install a self-checkout. The guy stocking merchandise was very helpful tonight with my bags.

While on the hunt, I gave up as not many stores sold them or it's costly. I accidentally found them here. $1.99/each, compare to supermarkets are $2.59+, bought 10. Found these amazing new flavors of Lay's chip. Didn't buy them, but will during this weekend. Had to wait for my friends reply to which flavor they want. Recently, they moved around their fridge and racks. It looks so much better and more roomy. But signs and prices of items is still a hit or miss.

I once saw a security guard point to the correct door in which to leave thru. if you want a pint of Ben & Jerry's ice cream, you have to ask a store employee. The corner of the store at 4th and Harrison St., used to actually have a great bar that served craft beer. You could order food and sit there and watch tv and talk to folks sitting nearby.

The Pros: Massive Variety: Truly a "one-stop shop" for tea…read moreenthusiasts. Low Pressure: The staff greeted me and then stayed hands-off until I had questions. The Price: Easily some of the best values in the city. The Con: Sealed Packaging: Everything is pre-sealed in 1lb plastic bags. Because of the sealing, you can't smell the tea before buying. I'd love to see them implement scent jars in the future to help with the selection process. Neutral Observations In-House Packaging: All the tea is packaged identically in 1lb bags, which suggests they likely process and bag everything in-house. Labeling: I didn't notice any specific organic labels on the packaging, though I didn't explicitly ask. If this is a deal breaker, you may want to ask. Review If you're looking for a genuine loose leaf tea source -- your search ends here. I stumbled upon this place after endless online searching (blogs, search engines, etc) and it was well worth the effort! Just a heads-up on navigation: G-Maps is slightly off. If you rely solely on that, you'll be a few doors down. Look for the Volvo mechanics and the shop is located just on the other side. The exterior is unassuming, no windows, just a sandwich board on the sidewalk and a door. Looking inside it's a bit of a mysterious vibe, you'll see a stairway to the left and a hallway ahead. Go for it. Ignore the single pane glass, bank-teller-style window to your right (which directs you to the main door) and just head in. Also, keep an eye on the clock because, per the phone tree, they close for lunch from 12:30 to 1:00. I arrived right after 1pm and was able to park right in front. There was also plenty of other parking spot around at that time. IDK why, but before walking in, my imagination had prepared me for an old-world San Francisco opium den. I was thinking there was going to be this lingering aromatic smoke, plush floor pillows, people lounging, sipping tea, and the soft, ambient melodies of an upscale spa. I had also pictured rows of heavy, whiskey-style wooden barrels overflowing with loose leaf tea, topped with clear lids and metal scoops. The reality is much more utilitarian. This is not a den or a spa. It's clean, straightforward, and focused entirely on their product. The selection is robust and incredibly diverse. While they claim "wholesale to the public", I can't verify the industry margins, but I can tell you the prices are very good for the quality you receive. The employee greeted me and then stayed hands-off while I browsed, which I appreciated. When I did ask specifics, they had basic foundational knowledge. Honestly with the diversity and sheer quantity of products offered, it would take forever to earn a Tea Master badge. No harm no foul. The only real bummer here is that everything is pre-sealed in 1lb plastic bags, so there is no way to smell the product. I'd really appreciate scent jars in front of the bags. Since they seem to be doing the packaging in-house anyway, it makes me wonder why they haven't set aside a small amount of each batch for scent jars. It wouldn't require a change in their supply chain, just a few ounces and a glass jar to help customers navigate that massive variety. That aside, I absolutely loved this place. I've been searching for a spot like this for a long time. I'm just glad I finally found it. If you're at all interested in loose leaf tea, I'd suggest giving these folks an honest try.

Whole Foods positions itself as a premium grocery store, and with premium pricing comes an…read moreexpectation of customer service that is attentive, respectful, and professional. Unfortunately, my recent checkout experience fell far short of that standard. I was shopping with a handbasket, carrying it with my right arm, the only arm I can currently use comfortably because I'm recovering from surgery on my left arm. By the time I reached the checkout lane, my good arm was tired. The checkout clerk abruptly told me to remove the items from my basket and place them on the belt. Her tone was not polite, and the request wasn't explained. I genuinely didn't understand why she needed me to do that, so I didn't respond at first. She repeated the demand, again without politeness. I told her I could not do that. Instead of acknowledging that I might have a reason, she insisted she wouldn't check me out unless I complied. At that point, I told her she could ask nicely, find another clerk, or have a manager assist, because basic courtesy goes a long way, especially when asking a customer to do something physically difficult. Rather than showing understanding or professionalism, the clerk escalated the situation. She admonished me, accused me of trying to injure employees, and continued speaking to me in a snarky, disrespectful tone, all without knowing anything about my medical situation. A customer saying "no" should be the end of the discussion, especially when the request is physically burdensome and the employee has no context for the customer's limitations. The manager arrived, explained the store policy, and I explained my injury and the issue with the clerk's tone. The manager immediately understood, removed the items from the basket, and checked me out. The entire process took seconds. Whole Foods is not a discount store. Customers pay higher prices for better-quality products and better service. Being treated rudely, snarkily, and dismissively, especially by a young clerk who seemed more interested in asserting authority than helping a customer is unacceptable. If the clerk is unable or unwilling to assist customers who cannot unload a basket themselves, she should request a reasonable accommodation from management rather than placing the burden on customers. Respect goes both ways, but in a service environment, the customer should not be treated as an inconvenience. The manager handled the situation professionally. The clerk did not. A simple "please" could have changed the entire interaction. Instead, I left feeling disrespected and publicly embarrassed over something that should never have become a confrontation. Whole Foods can and should do better.
