I called in to see if they had a product in stock. I formerly purchased it through Amazon, but…read morewanted it sooner. The associate who answered the phone was great ! She put me on a brief, 2 minute, hold while she checked. I I was informed it was not in stock, the scent name on the label had changed and they would be happy to order it without a markup and not in bulk... they carry it anyway. It was the same price as on the products website (Shikai) and CHEAPER than Amazon ! What more could you ask for courtesy and cruelty free products.

Strolling through the market I ran across Roanoke Natural Foods…read more I browsed a bit and found them pricey. A manager was stocking shelves and struck up a conversation.

The Roanoke Co+op is Southwest Virginia's largest food co-op. And this year they are celebrating…read moretheir 50th year anniversary. Since 1975 they have been serving the Roanoke Valley community. Located in Center In The Square, in the heart of Downtown Roanoke, it's a Market featuring natural grocery staples and organic-focused produce, along with prepared foods and grab-and-go options. It also accepts SNAP/EBT for its prepared foods. Besides this Roanoke Downtown location, it has another much larger community-owned grocery store in Grandin Village. This co-op has over 6,200 owners. They welcome everyone in the community as well as visiting tourists to shop there. And if you wish you too can become an owner by filling out an application and by making a one-time purchase of 8 ownership shares at $200 or paying for your shares one at a time in 8 installments of $25 each within an 8 year period. Owners receive benefits such as Owner Rewards, Patronage Rebates, Vote in their annual Board of Directors elections, eligibility to run for an open seat on the Board of Directors, and an invitation to the Annual Co-op Meeting. Today, I visited their Downtown Roanoke location. The employee on duty allowed me to explore the grocery store and take photographs to accompany my review. The store was very clean and organized, and although it was a bit late, early in the morning its suppliers bring in fresh merchandise, and make sure to fill up all its shelves spaces. In the past, I had purchased many items from this store. In the Summer, I would sometimes get a grab-and-go salad and either go sit at one of the tables that they put out in the Center In The Square or to the ones in the Market Building, and eat it with the salad dressing that it includes inside. Their hot Soup of the day is also very tasty and popular, and I've enjoyed a bowl many times. A while ago they experimented by selling Roanoke t-shirts and due to popular demand they now carry a nice variety of them for both locals and tourists who like taking one home with them as a souvenirof the Star City of Roanoke. I invite you to view my photographs accompanying this review to get a better sense of the place and the quality merchandise they sell here. I definitely highly recommend this grocery store to all who want to eat healthy and support locally sourced products.

This is a nice-looking store, like most Fresh Markets. The selection was, as I often find, a bit…read morepuzzling. I came seeking the little protein shakes that are common in health food stores. Finding them neither with the vegetables or with the alternative milks or with the coffee-based mixed drinks, I assumed they didn't have any of this sort of item, only to find a small freestanding cooler that did have some, but not quite the price or selection that I was hoping after all that searching. Similarly, some elements of the fruit and vegetable section didn't quite have everything I was hoping for. This store also had a longer wait in line than I would have expected despite three registers running. There were still some good quality food items to be had, but trying to shop comprehensively at Fresh Market often leaves me a bit frustrated.

This is an upscale health food grocer in a town that does not have a Whole Foods, a Trader Joe's,…read moreor even a Sprouts. It is quite large for a store of this sort and was a clean, nice-looking space. As is often the case with these sorts of places, the fresh vegetable selection is not that big, but is high quality. There were a lot of good options for special dietary needs in the other sections. The price is predictably higher than other places, and I haven't determined whether this place could be a major contributor to my food supply or just an occasional stop to pick up a specialty item or hunt for sales. But I'm glad it's here.
