So, if you don't want to/can't make it down to Portland, this is a nice alternative. I'm surprised by the other reviews re: customer service. I've always found the workers to be fine -- they're definitely on the quirky side, but they were polite and efficient every time I've been there. I do love the cheese selection here.

I like Royal River -- it feels like I'm entering some great big mountain lodge or cabin near a lake…read morethat just happens to be filled with fresh produce, locally crafted goods, and an abundance of natural foods and health items. Regarding the customer service: I've had some really weird interactions here (one cashier tried to make me feel badly for having colored hair and told me how I was contributing to the destruction of the environment [my hair dye is actually vegan, non-toxic, and paraben free]), I've also had some really helpful interactions here when I had questions about the aromatherapy and Ayurvedic properties in something. So, in my experience, it's been difficult to read the overall vibe of the people who work here. I wouldn't go out of my way to drive here from Portland for anything in particular, however recently a product that I really loved at Whole Foods suddenly disappeared off the shelves. Every employee I asked about it said they had "never heard of it before" (side note: I've been buying this product every week for three or four years now). So I put in an order for a case of it; a week later Whole Foods called me back to say that this item was no longer being manufactured. Enter Royal River. Knowing they also carry this particular product (the only place I recall seeing it at recently) I call and put in a special order. Two days later they call me back saying my case is available for pick up (and I get a 10% discount for buying a whole case too!). I don't know if this product will or won't be around in the future, but I gotta give a virtual high five to RRNF for coming through on this one!

It's astonishing that I have only been in this store twice, given the fact that I grew up in Brunswick...Anyway, i finally made it in. It's a smaller store, that feels like what you might encounter in a larger city. It was neat and clean. I couldn't really tell how aisles were organized, however, because I was browsing, it didn't stress me out. We encountered one staff member who "assisted" my sister and it was fine, very transactional, which is fine and again, what you might expect in a big city. Staff at the register were fast and efficient, didn't engage in too much conversation, just supportive of fruit pies I purchased. LOL They had a lot of offerings from some of our favorite local businesses! Standard Baking Company Little Lads Two Fat Cats Union Bagel The prices were competitive as well! They have fresh produce, meat, dairy, eggs, seasonings...pretty much everything you can find at Whole Foods but at a smaller more local scale. I can't wait to go back the next time in town.

What a gem that is hidden in the underworld of the maze we like to call Freeport outlets!…read more My wife an I come here to get refills on all kinds of olive oils and vinegars and with the small pots that house all of these little containers of goodness it is a gold mine to creativity and deliciousness. Here are a couple of the fun tips and pointers about this little place: - You can taste test any of the mixed oils/vinegars that you want with little tasting cups and small spickets to pour the taste into it. You can mix grapefruit and sunflower and get a tasty topping for a green salad or throw in some apricot vinegar and then you really can go salad wild. - Once you partake in one of the bottles of dressing/oil you can bring the bottle back in to refil at a discounted price and get your card stamped to earn rewards then they reseal the bottle with a gold foil top. - The staff is EXTREMELY friendly and so welcoming to those that might not know what to do in an oil/vinegar shoppe. My wife and I recommend you totally stop in here to try the goods for your flavor extravaganza!! But remember you have to look for it because it is hidden on the lower floor from all the hubub of Oakley/ Lids / Coach/ LL Bean area.
