If you blink, you will miss this place. It's on Coral Way right beside Benjamin Moore (right across from Winn Dixie, closer to the Mobil gas, but on the other side of the road). The parking lot is absolutely atrocious! Can you imagine not having any spots in front of the place you want to shop at (probably only five spaces available) and being forced to park between to work vans...ugh! You may as well have gotten on your knees and prayed for someone to ding your car! Talk about a set-up, lol.
Anywho, this place is small, but with a very spacious layout. The customer service is great! People are very friendly and welcoming and very willing to answer any questions. Also, they are generous with the smiles in here, so I love that :). They seemed to be very knowledgeable based on the responses I heard them give to other people.
So why only three stars? Well, the selection is incredibly limited, especially for what I was looking for. They're very limited in terms of different brands of a given product, as well. The brands they carry for their natural oils are very low quality, too. Hardly any of them are first cold pressing, which is what you want so that the nutrients are retained to the best extent possible. Hardly any are extra-virgin. I think the only exception was the Nature's Way coconut oil. The avocado oil was watery and clear. Good avocado oil is thick and has a green tint.
The coconut oil was on sale for a good price, $11.99.
The prices here overall seemed a bit on the high end of things for me. The original price for the coconut oil was $15 and that brand sells for $12 at other places. The Dr. Bronner's was also $2 higher than at CVS and target. However, I would come back here for Dr. Bronner's because they are the only store I know of that keeps Almond scent on the shelf. Otherwise, I'd have to order online and pay more with shipping.
As far as selection, they did have some other items. The shelf behind me had lots of dried flowers and medicinal herbs. They sell the giant aloe juice gallons, and they have lots of supplements behind the counter. Besides that, I don't recall what else there was.
I think I will continue my search for a local health food store with a larger array of brands and products, but I will continue coming here for coconut oil and Dr. Bronner's because of the convenient location and friendly service. read more
