Food For Thought is a great health food store, well worth a visit - even if you are not into health…read morefood, there maybe something in here which could tempt even the most meaty non -healthy individual. I come here to get all the ingredients for my speciality raw chocolate, which I make for friends birthdays. The ingredients are quite unique, and generally are hard to come by around this neck of the woods - cacao butter, agave syrup, maca powder. I can always get everything here. The staff are very knowledgable, which is lucky, because there always seems to be someone needing help. As well as the standard health food supplements; (Solgar, A. Vogel, Viridian )and homeopathy and health foods, they also have a wide range of make-up, toiletries (such as Dr Hausichka and the Jason range) and eco washing products. If that is all getting a bit hard core for you, then head over to the organic beer and wine section - I told you that there would be something for everyone!

Ah an Organic Haven!! It makes my mouth water. Fresh, locally-baked bread, organic lemon curd…read moremade only with easily understood ingredients, a dozen different kinds of honey. Deliciousness at its best. Seaweed rice cakes, muesli like woah, and so much other good stuff. Walking into this place made me weak in the knees. I want it all! All! On my dinner plate. And in my lunch box. And in my bowl with milk in the morning. Too bad I can't afford it all. Although the store doesn't have astronomical prices and I do think it's cheaper than Holland and Barrett, it is more expensive than your chains like Iceland or Tesco Metro. Sad but true. The prices were NOT terrible, but more than I felt like spending. On a day I feel like treating myself, however, I will definitely go back. Also, as a note, I heard one member of the staff advising a customer on nutrition, and I think he gave some good suggestions. Basic, at least in my mind which tends to have a nutrition fix, but not something all people think about - whole grain instead of white bread and potatoes, honey instead of sugar, etc. Sum it up in one word? Knowledgeable. In two? Knowledgeable and helpful. I'm going to have to go back. The only reason I knocked it down a star I price is because it's more expensive than general grocery stores, but that's always the case in this sad sad world. Woe is us poor organic food lovers.

Pretty much anything that the savvy health connoisseur might require. The layout is easy to browse. Staff are pleasant.

I can't believe I've lived in The Palace for over 6 months now and never thought to go into Planta…read moreuntil now. There are certain 'health shops' that look like they only offer a herbal remedy for hair loss or impotency and sometimes it's not worth it to find out. On a quick glance, this place looks very small dark and would have nothing of interest. But Planta is a wonderfully stocked alternative shop and a great addition to the area. Upon my first visit I spent quite a long time having a good old browse. From organic make-up, herbal teas and coffees, essential oils to Vegetarian, Vegan fresh and frozen food and free from alternatives. More than just Linda Mcartney but a really good selection of quick bites, staples and the good old vegetarian haggis! It's really well stocked and while a bit on the pricey side (as with any alternative health/food shops) it;s not extortionately priced. Our first trip I ended up walking away with some funky drinks out of the great selection, some Jasmine Tea, a chap stick and kale chips. Great finds. If you're looking for a particular something you're very likely to find it here. Now I've found Planta I'm sure I'll be a regular. Check it out - you wont be disappointed.
