There was an older Caucasian man and a Lightskin younger man working the front. My friends and I…read morecame in to buy protein powder, the older man at the front then proceeded to say something to the effect of " you guys can't come in I'm not letting two kids into the store" ( all of us are over 19 and wearing college attire). We responded stating that we were adults and were here to shop and spend money. The man at the front desk then made multiple remarks under his breath aimed towards us, which completely turned us off to coming in. 6 of us were planning on spending money and none of us ended up doing it due to the statements of the man at the front. Two of my other friends that did proceed in were then stared at and talked about during their shopping and were made very uncomfortable and ended up leaving without purchase.

Happened to see their sprouts of multiple variety show up on the shelf at my local Whole Foods…read moretoday and decided to give 'em a try. Not disappointed at all. Clean, fresh-- obvs, made in the same city. All the veggie none of the chemicals and whatnot. A little pricey but not really, and checking out their website, you could save a lot just by dealing with them directly instead of going through Whole Paycheck. I'm kind of amazed I'm just hearing about them now since they say they've been around since the 80s... maybe just selling to restaurants? If you have an odd love for greens of all varieties, especially in sprout form, this is your one-stop shop.

I also appreciated that they have a dining area to sit down and eat. Times I have gone to this store, it was not too full of other customers like other stores have been. It was refreshing to not have a ton of people in the store. I got items here that I liked, including napkins and Fiji water. The store has prepared food items, which is convenient. They offer foods like sushi, sandwiches, and cut fruit.

This is a magical grocery store! I go for a treat and I have so much fun picking up stuff I…read moretypically don't budget for like their macaroons or a fancy can of cold cinnamon coffee. But they also have staples at reasonable prices, higher than I budget for, but within reason. I typically shop at Jewel for the coupons/sales but going to Fresh Thyme is a special treat and I get to splurge on a tub of ice cream or try a new face lotion. It's just so fun. It's a beautiful store, so clean, and with loads of free parking. And the staff members are always so nice!

Very reasonable prices compared to other stores. 5 out of 5. Will visit again.
