The water mill machine inside has some of the best water in town. If you have a 5gal or something definitely come here to refill up on water. I've tried other locations and this one just is perfect all around! They also have a bunch of spices you won't find anywhere else in town to the right. Great customer service and polite staff. Parking lot can and usually is a nightmare for larger vehicles. For delivery trucks the dock is kinda difficult it's better to go in by target and go around loop up and blind side/driver side when your done backing. Definitely ask dispatch if a day cab can go with a sleeper it can get hectic read more

Literally always out of everything. You can never rely on this store to have the produce you want or the specific products they purport to carry. It's always frustrating that anytime you visit this place you can expect that they will be out of or missing a solid 20% of what was on your list. read more

It's very frustrating to shop here. They run adds and never have enough stock when I go in. I would shop here more but in addition to the always low stock they are becoming expensive both forcing me to shop elsewhere read more

Wanted to leave a review to up the average here. It should be higher! I've never had a bad experience at this store and they are always fully stocked and organized. Everyone is also very nice and always helpful. read more

Natural Grocers originally was originally called Vitamin Cottage, and is a Colorado company that carries only organic food. I have been a loyal customer since their beginning. I just wish they had built a bigger store on Kipling in Arvada. I really was and am disappointed by that decision!! read more

Wonderful store with friendly staff. Organic produce priced much better than elsewhere. Always feel like I can trust any product I find in a Natural Grocers. We shop there often and have always been treated with respect. read more

This store is laid out very nicely, things are easy to find and the store is very clean! Suzanne, the cashier, was very kind and friendly! Overall, it was a very nice grocery shopping experience :) read more

Not this store in particular, just their return policy. You have got to be kidding. 1 item per receipt. Make sure what you get is 100% what you want and you are satisfied before trying. read more

Terrible and unreasonable return policies! I will never shop this store again. Buyer beware.....so many other great places out there to buy healthy groceries and produce. read more

I had a great first experience here. Although I wouldn't shop here for everything on my grocery list, I may have to start shopping here for my produce and meat. What an attractive selection! I'm always nervous shopping at places such as this, Sunflower and Whole Foods. Sometimes I get that feeling like I'm not trendy or granola enough to shop at these places - almost like people can stare through your soul and see that toxic twinkie you ate 5 years ago. I didn't feel any judgment stares here. In fact, I had three different employees approach me and ask if I needed assistance. Luckily, I did need the help and they were very very helpful. I wouldn't mind fitting this place in to my grocery shopping routine. Note: If you're a Vitamin Cottage noob like I was, they do not supply grocery bags at check out. Don't forget to bring your own! read more

Perhaps I'm not Natural Grocers' ideal customer. Because I agree wholeheartedly with Alden C's review below. I was expecting (Largely due to their obnoxious television commercials) a NATURAL GROCERY store. (Hence: Natural Grocers. And does it bother anyone else the way she says "Grow-SHhhhhhursh" in the commercials? CRIKEY!) And like Alden C below says, this is a Vitamin Store. Their meat selection consists of a small reach-in freezer, and their produce is lacking in selection and quality and high in price. That is the gist of their "Grocery" selection. Everything else is Vitamins. (Hence: Vitamin Cottage. So drop the "Natural Grocers" and save the confusion.) Also: This place was downright dingy. It had a funky smell, and the floors were actually dirty. Lastly (and completely unrelated to my rating)... Maybe nix that Sock Hop attempt at dancing you do in the latest TV Spot, honey. No matter how much plastic surg... I mean, how many VITAMINS you gobble, you're not still 16. And it's not 1955 anymore. read more

This Natural Grocer location is easy to get to. There was a lot of parking available mid-morning during the week. I was in the vitamin area and an employee asked me if I needed help, and actually knew of what I wanted and where to find it. My daughter and I wandered around the store, looking at the stuff they had. One thing that I did notice (because I was looking out for it), is that they had their coconut oil in 2 or 3 different places throughout the store. It makes comparing prices a little more difficult. The staff were friendly and the store was clean. We'll be back. read more

Have you ever spent a significant time living in Europe? Returning to US supermarkets and grocery stores are an overwhelming experience, at least for me. Natural Grocers makes me feel more comfortable. They're small, but carry a wide range of products. Even the wide range feels small; there's never an overwhelming amount of any particular product type. Everything is well organized and categorized with good signage. I also like Natural Grocers because they always have good sales going on. Also, their bottled water and Clif Bar beat many other comparable stores' prices. They also carry other products, like Oskri bars, you may not see anywhere else or have only seen in Europe. read more

I've stopped in here a few times and I'm amazed by two things, What they have in this little cottage and the fact everyone who works here, knows where everything is. Example: "Do you have Beet Juice?" "Yes, and we have beet Root juice and powder beet root, right over here..." Hell, I can't even find all my socks in the dryer. read more

Not as abundant as a Whole Foods or Wild Oats (or even a bigger Vitamin Cottage like the Parker Rd. loc.) this grocery store tucked into a shoppette next to a good coffee shop (Novo) and a Great Harvest Bread shop none the less fills the bill when that essential healthy alternative grocery item is needed. From baking needs, to fresh produce, to even cheaper than King's milk (by 70 cents for the same 1/2 gal.) it's nice to have good food this close. Sunflower (and the asian markets) and WF have better produce deals but they're miles from nowhere away from here. Ho nem mwat, ho nai. read more

Was looking for raspberry leaf but they only sell it by the bulk there which was ok, but I would have liked to try a smaller selection of the leaf not in a tea bag. read more

Natural Grocers - Grocery Near Me - Arvada, Colorado

Most things about this store are OK. I don't get down to this store often, but when I do, I sometimes buy frozen pies there. The pies are good, but the checkers are NOT TRAINED on how to pack a pie into a grocery bag. They always put the pies ON THEIR SIDES, and even have packed a frozen pie UPSIDE DOWN in my bag TWICE. Would you pack a wedding cake on it's side? Someone train your clumsy, idiot packers not to pack pies on their sides? Pies are meant to be packed FLAT with the TOP UP, like a wedding cake. I guess I may just have to take my business elsewhere. What a bunch of half wits. read more

Great place! The best customer service around. The store selection is not as big as a huge chain store, but everything there is very thoroughly high quality, so you can rest assured that you're making good choices. I've even made a price list and the prices here are lower (sometimes significantly!) than Whole Foods. read more

Seem to be out of quite a bit but got the basics that I needed I don't know just didn't get help like I usually do today but everyone has off days so read more

I wish I could give more than 5 stars! Let me tell you why.... I have family that lives in the area and we come to visit at least 4 times a year and I have noticed that they have a great dairy department!!! I love when I can just walk up to the cooler and not worry about grabbing an expired product! I hate having to search around for the expiration date on yogurts!!! But when ever I shop at THIS store I love that I never have to waste time checking dates! I have also noticed that one employee there... He is always in the dairy department when I am shopping he is very knowledgeable about the products (my daughter is always on a new diet... one day it is only soy or the next day she is no gluten... and he always has the information I need to keep her satisfied). Thank you for the great service at your store! I will always shop with you when I visit! read more

The people are always so friendly and helpful. Produce always looks great. My 10 year old daughter loves to hang out and smell all the lotions and soaps. My son loves to help us pick out the produce and food. Honey sticks are his favorite. When I shop here I know I'm getting natural and organic food items. At Whole Foods, I have to be careful to read all the ingredients. I think Vitamin Cottage started out on Ellsworth or something in Cherry Creek. read more

Great store and very very helpful staff. You've got to appreciate the number of employees! The current staff is amazing. Prices on vitamins and supplements are very competitive. Sale prices are usually fantastic. Support this CO owned business. read more

They never answer their phone, or so it seems. Have called several times, sometimes very late in the day when they should be less busy. Also, seems like their prices keep going up and up. Pretty soon, they will be just like Whole Paycheck (that is, Whole Foods) for high prices. read more

I came here to return some heartburn medication that my hubby tried but didn't work. Overall, fast and prompt customer care, but the return policy for Natural Grocers is such a hassle, and requires your SSN, your birthplace, a fingerprint, a secret and an arm or leg. The pace of your return also heavily relies on the cashier itself. Some of them have the courtesy of filling out the form for you and making you feel happy and loved. But this cashier was complaining about going to lunch 10 minutes late. Boohoo dee doo. Obviously a joke, but not really. I am not a fan of signing a paragraph just to return anything and everything. Other than that, let's have a good day and enjoy Natural Grocers. read more

When I went here I was expecting a store like Wild Oats AKA Whole Foods. That is not what I found. Much of the aisles are filled with vitamins and in the corner is produce. Hence Vitamin Cottage. If you are looking for a certain kind of vitamin I am sure they would have it and then some but if you have any misconceptions that they are a 'health food store; think again, they are a 'vitamin store'. read more

No better place to get nutrition and supplement advice than here. Plus it is FREE! I was having digestive issues and the nutrionist helped me make some changes to my diet naturally and an affordable supplement that has worked wonders for me. I didn't have a weight loss goal, but after these adjusting for my digestive problems the weight started coming off naturally. So blessed to have this amazing company locally! read more

After 40+ years of going to Vitamin Cottage -- I'm done. 18 minutes to do an exchange? That is the time stamp difference on the two receipts. it is a long complicated tale of 3 --- Yes, 3 people that work there could not figure out (after being told repeatedly) I bought the wrong Item (my fault) and need to pay for the correct item and OWED THEM MONEY. It was simply too much for any of them to process. There have been plenty of issues in the past with this location. But not to the point of writing Corporate and Swearing of VC forever. And the past issues I feel correct themselves in time. Employees that are unhappy and take it out on customers either quit or get fired. BUT!! I have seriously NEVER had an issue of Trying to Convince a Business that I OWE them Money. Sprouts Gladly takes my money with no questions. :) read more

This is my favorite local grocery store. They carry quite a few of my favorite things such as organic whole coconuts from Thailand. The best selection of good quality chocolate and very good quality farm fresh pasture raised eggs that are not overly priced. The staff is always so friendly and helpful. The other evening I was there and I forgot to grab unsalted butter and the cashier offered to go get it for me. That's just such great customer service. read more

I just have to say again, I love this Natural Grocers. They have so many things that I can eat or cook with. I am a GF, sugar free, dairy free, diet sugar free, no red meat eater. I have to compliment the staff again. They let me special order my tea and gave me a discount for doing so. What a wonderful business. Support local businesses. read more

I do all of my major shopping at this Vitamin Cottage location. The staff is always pleasant and several of them have been around for several years. I love to slowly browse through the cosmetic and body product section, slowly making my way through the produce, onto the prepared sandwiches, salads, or wraps and then actually get going with my real shopping. They carry a good variety of packaged Applegate Farms organic & non-organic deli meats, a wealth of bulk spices, nuts, fruits, and other items. Many of their items are cheaper than comparable items at King Soopers or Whole Foods. There is a new Sunflower market across the street which has comparable prices to Vitamin Cottage, but I prefer that Vitamin Cottage's produce is 100% organic. I love buying the Dimmer's brand soudough bread, the Just Desserts cakes, and you can' t go wrong with ground buffalo at $3.99/lb! Look for it in the frozen food section. read more

I've been shopping at NG for 40+years and they have always been great in the organic products in general market. In the last few years I have realized that they are remarkably more expensive than organic sections in other stores. Although many items are comparable the produce is wAy too pricey. Also, the commercials are really bad. I feel embarrassed for those women every time I see them. Please be more professional and tasteful! It's obvious the organization has the revenue to do more appealing advertising. Seriously. read more

Very clean, friendly staff, some items are a little overpriced but overall they are very reasonable. Great for buying anything in bulk especially spices. read more

They had what I was looking for but I was also reminded why u rarely shop there. Perhaps the corporate culture demands lithium usage but I just see it a rudeness. read more

i like this store. The people are always friendly here and they go out of their way to help me find things. Lines are never long and their prices are reasonable for holistic foods. I will keep going to this store. read more

I love this place! Amazing selection of rare items you can't get just anywhere. I love their cosmetic and beauty products as well as their vast selection of hippie approved foods. They have really good customer service, although the last few times I came in they were either too busy to approach me or maybe they have seen me there so many times they know I'm familiar with the store and know where everything is. Excellent staff and clean store. I frequent often. read more

This is a medium sized Natural Grocers with a nice selection of produce, food, beauty products and supplements. Very clean, very bright, lots of nice staff, an excellent store. read more

Much better prices than @ Whole Foods, and when they are running a sale...wow, really great prices - esp. on healthy snack foods. If you are looking for healthy beauty products, sun screen, etc, they have a better selection and much better prices than other stores (like WF). The folks working there are OK, some are quirky and some are more friendly than others. I do, however, find the produce and meat selection too small and the entire store is too dark - it feels rather depressing. It's also surprisingly cold in there. read more

Love the store help is friendly products are awesome and price is great ~ Thanks guys

This store does not hold a candle to Sprouts (which is right across the street). It is NOT a grocery store at all. Sure, there are a few things, but not enough to serve anyone. Then when you buy something (which is rare) they won't give you a bag. They make you dispose of their garbage by MAYBE offering you a box. NO THANKS! It's tacky. Going "green" is great, but not at the expense of customer service. The parking is less than ideal. Save yourself some time and shop at a REAL store...Sprouts. read more

Liked this store! Good selection with fair pricing. Friendly service. Will be back for sure.
