I visited Nature's Emporium for the first time two Saturdays ago. What made me drop by? I found out…read morethat it sells Nanashake products, including their Nanapops and Nanabowls. This store is in Vaughan. For years, I have driven by this store, saw all the traffic coming in and out of this plaza, and never thought about stopping by. Well, I did it at long last! There was plenty of parking. Major Mackenzie Drive does get busy on weekends, so I had to wait a bit to make a left into the lot. I was so happy stepping foot into this store. I saw a beverage section with iced coffees and Kombucha. The variety was amazing, from dairy-free iced coffees, to sugar-free kombucha. I was mesmerized by spiralized veggies. I never thought about spiralizing butternut squash. I'm not a major squash fan, but I picked up some and made a tasty turkey stirfry with it. I'm a fan now. The produce section is vast. Everything looked so pristine and fresh. It was like you could do a fancy photoshoot, but you're really there to get some produce and ruin the displays. I saw mini watermelons that were adorable. I then moved into the prepared foods section. I saw these massive pizzas that you bake at home. It's cool if you want to customize them by adding more toppings and change up your takeout plans. My mom would have been pleased to have seen bags of chicken feet. It's like this place made a special section for her. I loved the beyond dairy section. I tend to not do dairy that much, because I'm borderline lactose-intolerant and I find that dairy increases my mucus production (how charming, I know). However, ice cream with full-fat dairy is my weakness. I loved seeing dairy-free sour cream and butter, milk alternatives, and much more. Oh, and then there's the plant-based food section. One of my favourite brands is Gardein. It was nice seeing the stuffed turk'y and then other brands offering their take on a plant-based turkey dinner. I did find my Nanapops and Nanabowls. This summer, I travelled to Sobeys at Laird and Wicksteed to get them. With all Nature's Emporium stores now carrying them, it's so much closer for me to get my fix, even though I do love this specific Sobeys. This store offers three different Nanabowl flavours, which impressed me. I got the remaining two flavours that I have never had: chocolate biscotti and strawberry cheesecake. This store is massive. The vitamin and natural makeup sections were impressive. I spent a long time browsing everything. Shopping here can be hazardous to my bank account. I went to pay for my items. I paid with a credit card, which was smooth. The woman cashing me out looked at my Nanabowls and asked whether I have had them before. I let her know that I've had the banana bread bowl and it was so delicious that I needed to try the other two flavours. I like the hometown feel at this place, as staff members are equally curious and excited about products here as their customers. They are also so friendly. I absolutely loved shopping here. I will be back because I feel like I've only absorbed a tiny subset of the products that are offered here. I hope to get some prepared foods. The soups look amazing, too, which are perfect for the cooler weather that we're enduring now. (403)

Now, the downside of this place is that their stock isn't listed online. I really think they should consider expanding their online presence, as more people would likely visit if they could see what's available. That said, I gave them a call and they confirmed they had what I needed, albeit a different brand than I usually take. After doing some research, the brand seemed reliable and is third-party tested, so I decided to pick it up. Prices were cheaper than Amazon and Healthy Planet for the product I wanted, and more cost-effective than my usual brand. However, prices can be higher on other items, and they don't price match, so it's worth doing some research. They also have a loyalty or membership program to collect points. I was in a rush, so I didn't get to sign up or explore the store fully, but they carry a wide range of products. It's great to have a local spot, and I'll definitely give them a call next time before ordering from Amazon if I'm in the area.

Weekly sales give this place an edge as there's always something appealing in the flyer. Just this week RISE Kombucha was on sale for $2.29, that's a steal. Markdowns are the true deal if you keep a lookout. Meat, fish and dairy are really handy to buy when 50% of more price slashed due to the expiry date closing in. Plenty of times I've stopped by to pick up a Salmon filet or pork product to grill up at home. Hours are great as well, accommodating people coming home from work or even those that go to the GoodLife next door for an evening workout and need to stock up before heading home. I recommend this location to all my friends and family as a good alternative to big name stores in the area.

Choices are…read moreamazingly plentiful, I was able to find not just the normal cuts of beef, but even frozen beef bone marrow, foie gras, etc. Also I was able to find a pretty wide variety of Italian ingredients including many types of flour for pasta and pizza. Probably this store has some Italian background? They also have a wide selection of prepared meat items, for instance I saw they had ready to bake Beef Wellington :D However, I'm not too sure about the taste as I tried their breakfast sausage and it turned out far too salty for me. The other side of being a specialty store means...not having that much choices for other types of items. Produce choices are satisfying enough but of less variety than bigger supermarkets. I somehow liked their packaging of using ziplock bags for salad leaves and other produces, it saved me a bit of fridge space. Seafood choices are very limited. Being a person with a diet that stresses heavily on seafood and white meats, that weekend I did end up going for a second grocery trip to get all the items I needed. The store had very few customers during my visit. It has the feeling of a neighborhood grocer that serves only who knows this place - I happened to hear a customer talking to the butcher and it sounded like the customer had been coming to the store for food for a long time. Not a bad place at all if knowing what to expect from a specialty store.
