The main reason I wanted to submit a review of this store is due to wonderful customer service. I met Katie today and can immediately tell she knew her stuff. But the rock star of my first visit was Sharon. Talk about someone who is very kind, knowledgable, passionate, and extremely thorough with explaining in a way to allow you to make the best decision for your situation, she covers all bases. She provided names of other staff members to ask for on my next visit as she is only in the store a couple days a week. I saw the owner, also providing focused customer service to someone. People, please understand, doctors, especially new young doctors are not being trained to fix your medical issues, but only to provide medication to help you live with your health issues. My new doctor's office is a couple blocks from Southtown Health Foods and I know for a fact, after every doctor visit will be followed with a visit to Southtown. Although I came in to ask about sea moss and other herbs, I think I may also consider doing my grocery shopping here as well, and yes, try a smoothie on next visit. Any store can have a vast amount of product, but the knowledge and kind customer care is what will keep me coming back to Southtown from now on. Thank you Sharon and Southtown for a wonderful experience. May God continue to Bless all of you for doing his work.

Whenever Katie not available someone else would step in and give great answers. I like when they say, "Don't stop taking medication. We are not physicians."

I took my order to go, but it was nice to have a seat and wait. You definitely can sit and enjoy your food. It is comfortable and welcoming. All the workers are kind and ready to help you. They give suggestions, if needed. I would highly recommend this spot! I am so happy it is close by! I found them on Saturday but only had a mango and strawberry with strawberry boba balls and I returned on Monday to try the food. I was not disappointed and I will probably be a frequent customer. Thanks for coming to the neighborhood!

I ordered the Turkey Sandwich, and while the delivery experience was less than ideal (thanks to my DoorDash drivers--yes, there were four of them, and my order ended up being an hour late), I can't hold that against the restaurant itself. I was fully prepared to be disappointed, especially fearing a soggy sandwich after such a long wait. But to my surprise, the sandwich was amazing! The ingredients were super fresh, and everything just came together perfectly. It really impressed me, and I honestly didn't expect to be blown away by a simple turkey sandwich. I highly recommend giving Urban Treez a try! I'll definitely be ordering again, just hoping the delivery experience is a little smoother next time.

What I found was exactly what others mentioned. You still have to get us into the store but I understand the reason for that and I think most people do as well. Whatever you need they have it! Don't let the small space fool you. The store is full of non-toxic magic. Then let's talk about the staff no matter who is there when I go in they are always pleasant, kind and helpful. First, they can answer any questions that you have. I think the added bonus is that they accept SNAP. One of my favorite items are the spicy pumpkin seeds by Eden organic. They are one of the only places that I have found these in Chicagoland. I also love the fact that they are black owned. I guarantee you won't be disappointed win you visit.

A slice of vegan cake at Whole Foods costs $5.00. Too much! I decided to bake for myself, and for that, I needed vegan ingredients. Enter Groupon. I got bars of Cacaos 71% Ultra Rich Chocolate; packages of Vegan Espresso Chocolate Wafers; two containers of Vegan Rice Milk White Chocolate; and two packages of Vegan Chocolate Chips. Everything is delicious. Everything works well in recipes. Even I was surprised how good these products are. I mean, who thought you could get White Chocolate with Rice Milk? But you can! I can't discern any difference in taste between the vegan version and the full fat version that uses dead animals as part of its ingredients. I'm also pleased to be able to patronize a small, local business. The company does offer a lot of other products, which I cannot review as I have not used them. However, the high quality of the things I have had only encourage me to try other products. The staff is really nice, too. I met one of the production people, and talked on the phone to the owner. Super sweet, both of them. They answered all my questions patiently and completely. In fact, they were so enthusiastic about the products that I got excited, too! I highly recommend eSutras, even if you don't have a Groupon! I will definitely be patronizing this business in the future.
