I ordered some hand blended seasoning from Olive & Basket recently and I was so impressed with how…read morequickly it was sent out - as well as the helpful updates about its shipping status. When the seasoning arrived - I had a question about the product. I called their contact number and right away a friendly voice answered. The customer service representative was so kind and helpful on the phone. She said that she would check in with the manager ASAP in regards to my inquiry and follow back up promptly. A couple of minutes later - the same personable customer representative called me back and revealed that her manager had called the manufacturers of the product and she was able to answer my question with confidence. I was blown away by the incredible customer support at Olive & Basket. The staff went out of their way to make sure that my questions and concerns were heard and addressed and they did so with such genuine care. Fantastic customer service goes far and I wouldn't hesitate to order from Olive & Basket again. Trust.

This place is amazing! The spices are so fragrant. The woman working in the shop was very pleasant…read moreand helpful. She walked me through the spices and what types of food they would be fantastic on. I was already looking for Cardamom, so I picked that up. I also bought one of their three types of Cinnamon, and two candles that smells like a Latte. The place is awesome. I will be back to try some of their more exotic spices. I recommend this place!

This is a great place for hard-to-find supplements, herbs, and dietary restricted foods. Great…read moreselection of vitamins, minerals, and supplements for every need. Their new store on Franklin Farm Lane is very neat, well-lit, and easily navigable. They carry a wide selection of foods for those on restricted diets like gluten-free, diary-free, and more. Both shelf-stable and refrigerated/frozen foods. Beware, it'll cost you a hefty amount for these foods! I feel this store carries a great selection, but their prices are too high. Some things here and there feel reasonable, but generally I can find the same items online from trusted sources for much cheaper. Sure, there may be shipping and a wait, but it's often worth it. I come here to browse sometimes, but have also relied upon it for homeopathic remedies. When my hubby cracked a rib, he wanted the homeopathic remedy to help speed healing. It was nice to go to this store and get it. They had it in stock, just what I wanted. Very convenient. It seems like The Nutrition Center is family-run, and I see two younger adults there sometimes which I tend to think might be the owner's children. I'm not sure just how knowledgeable these two are about the details for items they carry, but they seem friendly enough. Their website could use some regular care, they still have information about their grand opening from October of 2013 and it is now June of 2014. Perhaps adding in some information about new items, specials or sales, or educational information would spruce it up. Sadly though, it doesn't seem like they really run specials or sales. While I really do like knowing this store is close-by for times when I don't want to wait for something to come via mail, I find it too expensive to frequently shop here. I adore supporting local businesses, but I'm also not rich enough to spend that much money there when I can spend far less online. They've been around for a long time, so I guess some can afford it.

The Nutrition Center is my favorite source for natural products and supplements. I come here for…read morevitamins, shower items, beauty products, snacks, toothpaste, and sometimes even gifts. They have such a wide variety of products that I would be surprised if you went and found nothing to buy. Every time I come, the staff is always so kind and helpful. Any time I have questions, they're willing to help. I also appreciate how many lines they continuously keep on sale. I buy Life Extension supplements here, and they always have it 20% off of the regular retail prices you find anywhere else or online. I've noticed many of their other brands are also marked down. They are very competitive with online in my opinion. I would much rather shop here than find somewhere online because they're incredibly kind and have given me so much of their time and for that, I love supporting them.

It has spices, teas, and more. I needed some black peppercorns (our mill was empty), but I also picked up some teas (one for a gift, and one bag for myself). Four stars for being well organized and well stocked and for their friendly staff. Definitely a great little shop to stop by if you're shopping in Frederick along Market and Patrick Streets!

I emphasize this, since these days, grocery stores sell a 5-pound whole chicken, and 30-50% is water, not chicken. The lower price you pay isn't lower at all.
