You do not expect a huge selection of anything but what they do offer looks really good and you know that you are paying for quality. I honestly wanted breads and pastries and did they deliver! The giant cinnamon bun was supposed to make it to Ft Garland CO, but only lasted about 5 minutes in the car before we dug in. The bread here is also delicious. We actually brought some back to Atlanta with us. Some of the other items we got here were tamale, meats, and candies. This is definitely a great store to stop at on your way in or out of town.

I think What used to be a charming and warm country store is now a LIQUOR STORE with some overpriced garbage food and overpriced (by at least a dollar) gas. You HAVE to be desperate to stop here.

By the time I saw this place, I was willing to pay more. I've been here maybe 3 times, and always when I'm leaving Colorado and heading towards Santa Fe, hence they are the proverbial oasis in the desert. The store itself is fairly clean and large with a lot of coolers. Their selection of snacks is varied, they have plenty of ice and drinks, you will even find some local made spices, chiles, wines and a few knick knacks. Everything can be found cheaper somewhere else, it's just a matter of how far you want to drive. If you're looking at basic road trip snacks, so you spent an extra $1, who cares? For multiple items that could be a different story. Their single unisex restroom is kind of dirty and I always fear the day it will be out of order! Luckily that hasn't happened yet, but there is always a line. I do think they could be better about the maintenance though. The lot leaves enough room for parking and using the gas pumps without getting tangled. The gas prices were higher than we had been seeing on our trip, but not gouging higher. If they were anywhere else, the prices and lines would be 3 stars. But see above, I'm always relieved to see them when we take this route.

When we asked about our appointment, the employee was rude and unprofessional and told us that there were six people ahead of us. If appointments are being accepted, customers should be able to reasonably expect to be seen around their scheduled time--or at least be informed of a significant delay. Being made to wait and then told there were six people ahead of us was extremely frustrating and felt very disrespectful of our time. I hope management addresses this because the customer service and professionalism were not acceptable. I think she called herself Deborah.

It's his attention to detail that causes me to use this over the other grocery stores in town. The quality of the produce is also good.

I wouldn't mind the music at say a bar or restaurant, but at a grocery store it's just weird. Checkouts are tightly packed and a little claustrophobic. They hire mostly oddball workers.

Yes, it costs a bit more for some things but the food is always kept fresh and is of very high quality. Shelves are always properly stocked. But the best part is paying for your goods. Never hardly a wait -- 4 checkout lanes, all assisted, and the clerks are all very pleasant people! Nothing like the mostly mandated self checkout lanes at Smith with long lines waiting to use them just so you can self bag and self checkout at poorly maintained machines. Natural Grocers is a gem. So glad we at least have this option in town given the mess that Smith's has become over the last few years. I try to give my grocery business to Natural Grocers as much as possible.

Bottom line: this little local market has a good number of kitchen staples which will help you whip up whatever recipe you've got pinned for tonight.

They do add 10% to your total at the end, but it's my understanding they mark everything at their cost and the 10% is just their markup. It's not tax. Food items aren't taxed.

Some time ago, my visibly elderly, 72-year-old mother went into this store alone wearing a satch…read morepack and was hostilely profiled by one of the onsite security guards while inside. She says he approached her demanding she open her bag for searching - she hadn't been in the store for five minutes. After he searched her bag, he told her to check in with him before she exited the store so he could check her bag once more. She noted that he was unkind and forceful in his tone throughout the exchange. My mother is a 5'6, world-traveled minister and (again) visibly elderly. Such an experience has never happened to her. She was astonished, but peacefully complied nonetheless. It should be noted that my mother is a woman of color with darker golden brown skin and curly hair styled in an afro-like way. The security guard was a native-Spanish speaker of sort. It's no secret that colorism, texturism and complete anti-Afrocentricity runs deep within Spanish speaking communities, but to execute such bias on a an elderly, visibly harmless woman is ludicrous. We were all visiting NM from out of town. I arrived later than my parents did. When I was told the story, I went to the store and complained to the manager. He came out to the parking lot and spoke with my mom. Although he was kind, he was not as apologetic as I would hope for a manager to be. Lastly, my mom's friend (who is not a POC) told her that she never has problems in this store and has gone in there with a book bag many times. In conclusion, we will never return to this grocer again and advise POCs of darker shade tones and/or non-Spanish speaking heritage to beware.
