As a vegan, this place was a lifesaver; they have pretty much everything you could think of in a animal byproduct-free version (vegan cheeses, vegan baked goods, many different kinds of vegan ice cream, nut milk, vegan supplements, vegan cosmetics, even pre-made vegan wraps which I miss so incredibly much). Anything health or diet related that you could think of is housed in this establishment. I admit their produce selection is a little lackluster, but Meijer and Caputo's are nearby so it never bothered me much. The staff are all extremely helpful and knowledgeable, I came to know some of them well. A great establishment, I hope it remains for many years to come. I love you, Fruitful Yield.

I went to their customer appreciation week, on June 6th, and I tried out their juice, since there…read morewere handing out smoothie/juice bar coupons. It would have been nice, if they used paper cups, instead of plastic cups for their smoothie/fruit juices, to reduce plastic consumption, ending up in the trash. Plus, they were using a plastic cutting board, instead of wood, to cut their fruits, veggies, etc. Just by going to the juice bar, we have consumed a lot of plastic, without realizing! Not sure why they do not have that set-up, even though they are a healthy food store.

It's very quiet since it doesn't seem like a lot of people shop here either but it's worth checking out!

She was making drinks very fast and my drink was very good. Because she was very busy some people were walking out with their drinks without paying. This made me feel sad for her. The lines to pay were very long and the cashier that checked me out did not seem very experienced and had to interrupt the cashier next to him to ask for help many times. $5 for a latte is not bad. I'd go back hopefully at a time not as busy. Cafe is only open til 3 but they closed down early because of how busy it was.

This is a great buy but you must remind the check out clerk, because they forget to look for the stickers. What I do not like re this WF is the bread/pastry aisle. They expect you to get your full loaf of bread, cut it in their bread machine, and put it in the bag. No, thank you. People are using their bare hands to take out the loaf, and it's not hygienic. When I ask the person behind the counter to select and cut it for me (since they wear gloves and are selecting the bread from the clean side), they are more or less helpful. Some seem annoyed to be asked. I'm sorry, but if I'm paying $5.50+ a loaf, you should be able to cut it up for me. I don't want bread people have touched or to use a machine people have their bare hands all over. Their half loaves of bread are a scam. They do not equal a full loaf but two cost more than a full loaf. WHAT? I guess I feel the same way re pastries and cookies. People put their bare hands into the glass shelves, or maybe, use a sheet of the thin paper, if it's available (sometimes, it's not). That's just gross, and they've doubled the price of these things. I'll just buy prepackaged pastries, thank you. Now, on to grapes. Do not just buy the grapes in the bag. Here, they act like they're being hygienic by pre-packing all the grapes, but all they're doing is hiding the older grapes that are detached with the newer grapes. Shake out that bag, and take the good ones. My insider tip. :)
