This place is a "one stop shop" for those interested in health and natural living! I originally…read moreheard of Weise Pharmacy while having a conversation about colloidal silver with some friends at church. They said I could find it here and it has been around for almost 50 years! And what a fantastic hidden gem located right behind the Publix shopping center on Roosevelt! I woke up this morning on a mission to get some fresh pressed carrot juice for my boy and possibly a sandwich for me. I had read about the 14 Carrot Gold Juice Bar located inside Weise Natural Food Shoppe on their website so wanting to have an excellent Saturday morning adventure, I drove over to check it all out. Holy Wow! Who knew this place existed? Well, apparently a ton of people because when I arrived, the parking lot was full of cars and people were coming in and out up until closing. I was greeted by a super nice lady named Sue and she asked me if I needed any help. I told her I wanted to get a fresh carrot juice so she pointed the way to the back. When I got there, an equally sweet lady named Lisa told me that I could have my carrot juice plain or with celery, garlic, parsley or ginger added or however way I wanted it. In addition, the juice bar offered organic fruit smoothies and healthy vegetarian sandwiches. I thought I had died and gone to HEAVEN! I opted for straight carrot juice and their curry "chicken" salad sandwich and then walked around the store to see all of the offerings. They stock a wide variety of herbs, supplements, vitamins, all natural products for the body, home and even your pets as well as everyday organic groceries and CHOCOLATE! https://www.facebook.com/pages/Weise-Pharmacy-and-Natural-Food-Shoppe/180411578676414 I was fortunate enough to meet and briefly chat with Gilbert Weise, Sr., the pharmacist and nutritionist, from which the pharmacy and natural food shop is named. He is a very interesting character and apparently comes from a lineage of healthcare practitioners in the area and continues the legacy. Not only does this man talk the talk, but he also walks the walk....if you speak with him, you will know what I mean (and feel guilty that you haven't already adopted his lifestyle yesterday). http://www.weiserx.com/retailer/store_templates/ret_about_us.asp?storeID=D5014D8206A24FA7A9B57A43F807BE7E Overall, my experience was exceptional! That had to be the most fun I've ever had in a pharmacy/health food store! Such an interesting and well run location with a great staff who really makes you feel like family. It's my new favorite place! Oh yea, by the way, the carrot juice was perfectly sweet and yummy and the vegetarian curry chicken sandwich was super flavorful and healthy. What a great way to start my day! I will definitely be back! :)

This is a great place with so much knowledge. They've served my needs for a number of years now.read more

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.

Smoothies are great! Every organic product available you could ask for and even a little grocery!read more
