Romeo's Organic Wholefoods is a one-stop-shop for health. It has a small range of organic fruit and…read morevegetables, as well as dairy and vegetarian foods. There are aisles of wholemeal organic pasta, flours, nuts, and organic coffee and teas etc. On the other side of the shop is a large range of health and beauty products, including organic and free-of-everything hair-care, moisturisers, make-up and more. At the front of the shop is a small cafe connected to the register. What initially caught me was the sign for $6 organic coffee and vegan muffin. I'm not vegan, but I try to eat it when I'm able, so I bee-lined for the counter. I got myself a latte and a berry muffin, and some free reading material. For an organic coffee, I was impressed. Having just read about the sins of sugar, I had my coffee without my usual one teaspoon, which could have been a mistake since I often need to sugar to take the edge of the bitterness. This however was fine without, and not bitter at all, though maintaining its flavour. It wasn't quite like normal coffee, but I couldn't pin-point why that was. Still, I was happy with it. Vegan sweets are mostly really moist, and this was no exception. I couldn't tell it was vegan apart from its density, and I love a dense muffin, so no complaints here.

Romeo's Organic Wholefoods is awesome. They stock a few difficult to find products for the chemical…read morefree home, vegetarian/vegan, health conscious individuals. Organic can be pricey as I'm sure you're well aware (I sure as hell am being a uni student) but they do some ok deals on select items. We always browse their discounted items section and scab a few bargains. We shop around quite a bit for organic items and I must say they do alright on price, range and quality. If more big retailers can push organic hopefully it will become more affordable, without compromising the ethics ("free-range" eggs are an example of how standards can be watered down for corporate greed). In the meantime Romeo's Organic Wholefoods is on my list of places to source stuff from. Highly recommend for those that are like-minded!

It's smaller than the ones I'm used to (the enormous ones in Melbourne) but for around here, it's got everything you'd expect. Protein and weight loss powders, natural haircare and skincare, a wall of natural supplements and over-priced packets of health foods. Their range of hair and skin products is smallish, but has a reasonable selection of popular and less familiar brands. I wouldn't buy protein powders here, because I'm sure you can get them cheaper. The health food is overpriced. Gaganis Bros isn't far, and you can get most of the wheats and whatnot there, though not organic brands. In terms of vitamins, they're a reasonable price. They often have fish oil on really good specials in the containers out front, so keep an eye on those if you like your fishy supplements.

King Island honey on tap and the elusive Quest energy bars in full range that are all the rage in the US without the kick in the teeth prices. They also carry skincare as well as organic home made recipes like cashew butter which was hard to walk away from. I came here for the protein bars my friend had raved about and found them pretty cheap and in huge variety, the staff were lovely as well. Definetly a staple and fits in very well with Semaphore hippy humble vibe.

Her range of juices is large and rather exotic, as well as the fridge range of vegan friendly foods, like sprouted spelt. The other half of the shop holds a standard range of herbal health care, and though the selection isn't as large as some shops, it has been very well chosen to include all the important herbs by well-priced brands. This is one of the few shops where I can find Olive Leaf, which is a great herb for colds, so I visit here regularly, and often come home with a bag of nuts or healthy munchies or some nice moisturiser. I like the wide variety of products here and can mostly find anything I'm looking for.

I am always looking for natural alternatives, and most times Victoria Square Health Foods stock them. They even have a couple of natural alternatives to sunscreen, which are hard to find in other health food shops. Staff are very friendly and helpful, and have usually tried the products you are looking for. Best tip I have is to sign up for their member card, which gives you a 21% discount - very very handy!
