Very friendly service always here. Clean bathrooms! Clean store! Great to do some shopping here after we spent the day in Tennyson street then picked up some items we needed for home. Lots of people that helped me out there over the weekend! read more

Seems like many management turnover for the better because I find all of the staff to be extremely pleasant, and knowledgeable. We shop here a lot as we have a baby and buy all organic. They're so friendly, helpful, and patient. Also almost always have every item I need! Sometimes produce isn't stocked, but they always can explain why (production & supply chain issue etc) and can tell me when to expect it back. We go here daily, and literally there is never a line at checkout. If there is they immediately call for back up. Never going back to Safeway again lol read more

Great store. Great quality. Best bang for buck in town. Nice workers. Great location. Highest quality standards of any store.

I was in dire need of some next level salad greens after eating Wendy's kid meals two days straight because their app keeps sending me free food. Free to my wallet, costly to my health. I usually hit up Whole Foods but I was around Berkeley neighbored so got in right before they closed at 8pm. Side story: I fed my Ameircan bulldog McDoubles almost everyday during the summer of 2018 because McDonald's gave away free McDouble every time Rockies hit a double. 6 months later he had cancer and passed away at age 13. Moral of the story fast food could cause cancer... Vitamin Cottage Natural Grocers manifesto entitled "What We Won't Sell and Why", which includes artificial colors and flavors, artificial preservatives, irradiated food and meat raised using artificial hormones and antibiotics, among others. I love their mission and they started in Lakewood, CO! How did I not know about them? After living under a rock in Colorado for 20 plus years. People complain about the high price, but it's no worse than Whole Foods. Blueberries were $2.29 and Organic Girl super greens $3.99 Dave's killer bread $5.19 and the most valuable resource on earth H2O was only $.25 per gallon beating most competitors. This Berkley location has easy parking, it's not the largest store but had plenty of selection. If you need to shop for a family of 5 go to Costco. But if you are a single hipster PhD student living like your in Berkeley, CA come here. read more

Many of the items I've bought from here have been spoiled or moldy. Most recently, I bought one of their premade Rudi's sandwiches, took it home, and ate more than half only to discover that it was a WEEK past expiration. After I saw the date, I went back and looked at the remaining sandwich and discovered the cheese and lettuce were definitely bad. I called the store to let them know that I just ate the spoiled food they sold me, and the woman on the phone just said "oh my bad. It's a separate vendor who replaces the sandwiches" without offering me my money back. I called corporate to request a refund, but they sent me to voicemail twice. I left a voicemail over a week ago and still haven't heard back. I'm extremely disappointed in their lack of customer service. Their prices are way too high for them to be acting like this. Honestly, I'm not going to be going back there anymore and will just go to sprouts instead. read more

So there are a bunch of negative reviews from years past and I thought I'd add a more recent one to counter the narrative of day past. No service issues, friendly staff is quickly called to help check when a line forms, and for the footprint of the store they do well on the produce. Glad to have them in walking distance! read more

Great store with lots of Natural and Organic items along with supplements. Prices are good compared to King Soopers and Sprouts.

A great place in the Berkeley neighborhood to shop for organic produce. Its a small place so very easy to get around but still has everything I need. The staff are friendly and personally I love checking out with the staff rather than kiosks like other places. They will call in the other staff to help out if the lines get too long. read more

I really love their produce section. I find it to be cheap and fresh. This is where I prefer to buy most of my vegetables and fruits. I am constantly impressed at their selection and the freshness and quality of their veggies and fruit section. The only con I'd say is that their rewards program doesn't have many kickbacks. I wonder why they make me input my phone number every time. It seems like it's mostly for their data which makes me feel annoyed. I also don't like how I have to bag my own groceries. If I forget my bags I have to use a box which really sucks. But I applaud their recycling! read more

Apparently this particular store has a customer service problem. Many complaints about the service here on Yelp. Rudeness seems to be the main complaint. Well here is another one. I was shopping at this store on Saturday 3/6/2021. Mind you I have been shopping at Natural Grocers for 42 YEARS. When I approached the counter the checker barked out at me "Pull your mask up over your nose". I said no I will not I have a medical condition and will not obey you. She informed me that if I did not pull the mask over my nose that she would not give me service. Her attitude was very rude and I felt like a criminal. She has medium length blond hair and I was there at 3pm. So if you have a medical condition they don't want you shopping there. Go to Sprouts that is 3 blocks away. Bob read more

We are on here for a ski trip and decided to stop in for a couple of protein bars. We leave our car for literally 2 minutes while a couple of friends go to play some Pokémon in the parking lot. We left the car for literally 2 minutes and as we were walking into the store we noticed our car gone. Apparently the tow company Agapi Recovery watches the lot and if you don't immediately sprint to the front door, the guy tows your car. People have taken their dogs for a walk while waiting for the stores to open and have been towed. After getting our car back we watched as he pulled into the lot with black out windows and watches the lot. He literally took his tow truck and sped (probably illegal speeds in a parking lot) to a car and found the guy still in there so he had to speed back to his spot. We're contacting the NBC news in the local area about this predatory Towing practices. DO NOT shop here. High chance of being towed. Edit: I forgot to mention, while the tow company is at fault for predatory practices. While talking to the manager inside the store, they said it was part of their contract that if you don't "Immediately walk to the front door" you'll get instantly towed. But their signs don't say that at all and the tow truck is definitely trying to round up as many people as possible since he literally tried to get someone sitting in their car as we were watching read more

Called twice to check if they had an item. First time, guy wandered off, forgetting I was on hold. Second call, he said, yup we have them. I drove there None in stock for weeks. Thanks kevin! read more

Read several other reviews here about their predatory tow truck company. Yeah my car got towed. It was like 10:30 at night and obviously the store was closed. Really? A neighborhood store like this treats its customers like that? I spend a couple grand per year here and my daughter spends way more than that. The tow company has terrible reviews. 300 bucks it cost me. They don't even have a website or information on where their lot is... that I could find. They finally called me back. FYI for anybody else that get's towed by AGAPI Recovery.. they are at 1803 W Irvington Pl. It is just a shit hole fenced area between two buildings.. no office. You WILL NOT see me in your store EVER again. read more

Good produce, friendly staff, and the cost for their organic products and supplements is lower than elsewhere. I love how easy it is to get in and out with everything I need. read more

It's the Grand Opening. Thousands (actually 5, not thousands) of people queued up to get in while standing in 20cm of snow. The crowd waits with bated breath to buy sumptuous "organic" food. Will the vitamin-juiced clerks survive the onslaught of desparate humanity? I just don't get the attraction of Vitamin Cottage. No fresh meat. More expensive than Sprouts for identical items that I price shopped. The only OJ is $6.50 USD! I did use my free $5 gift card to "buy" butter. read more

See all

Expensive grocery store with a smaller selection of items than most competitors. Definitely not a one stop shop. They have a parking lot, which is a plus. They occasionally have items on sale for a good price. What really got me though is the customer service at this location--terrible. If you want to shop at Natural Grocers and get a friendly experience, definitely avoid this location and go to the one in RiNo instead. Or, just go to the Sprouts right across the street. I had the grumpiest, least helpful cashier here. They have a coupon program you can sign up for with your phone number, and you can go online and select from a few coupons to load to your account. I had a coupon loaded to my account that should have applied to my purchase, but for some reason it did not. When I mentioned this to the cashier, she didn't care and didn't offer any help. I asked her if I could try entering my number again to see if the coupon would work, and she acted like this small request was pulling teeth. She did it though, and it didn't go through again. Once again, she was no help and didn't call over management. I started fumbling on my phone to pull up my account to prove that I had the stupid coupon loaded. While this was all going on, another customer got in line behind me and asked if I had a coupon issue. Apparently she had the same issue of her coupons mysteriously not working in the store, also with no help from the Natural Grocers employees. With the line growing, I finally gave up, told her to remove the coupon items from my transaction and walked out only buying one thing. Their loss, though my cashier couldn't care less either way. read more

Great local spot to shop. I enjoy the location-it is clean, has senior hours for my parents and lovely personable employees. I am sad to see bad reviews here as we think this location for NG is great! read more

Honestly a great, boujee spot for this transformative neighborhood. It's a good spot for the wealthy but don't come here on a Safeway budget. This spot is PRICEY! Very high quality produce and natural body products here though. I really appreciate their essential oil and herbal medicine sections. 4 stars for the fact that this place is disrespectful to the struggling elderly and immigrant population here by not offering equal access or affordability in a food desert of NW Denver. They also don't have a fresh deli section which is what every grocer needs. It's more a 4 stars for the store concept and brand than the actual individual business and store location. read more

Natural Grocers is 30% filled with plastic (turns out, it's a supplement company, not a grocery). There's no fresh meat/seafood/deli, or bakery, and the produce section is laughable. read more

There should be a 0 stars option because Natural Grocers would get that. Rude staff, overpriced items. Not accommodating to disabled people. Openly violating ADA. They will rob you here. Strongly recommend to not shop here and spend your hard earned money elsewhere! read more

I can see how Natural Grocers would be very popular for people who are heavily in to nothing but organic foods (I do try to find humanely raised meats but don't exclusively buy organic) and all matter of vitamins remedies, and dietary supplements (literally rows and rows and rows of every supplement powder, pill etc. imaginable). I'm not being critical of people who are, it's just not my thing. My rating is based on availability and price of meats, produce, bread etc. No deli or bakery and very little in the way of meat, which is very expensive (so expensive it makes Whole Foods look cheap). For what Natural Grocers stocks and markets I'm sure it has a great offering, but with no meat/cheese department and no bakery I see no reason so shop here. They do accept Apple Pay though, and have a great parking lot - kudos for that! read more

Just an overall shitty company. Expensive without the ambience or good grab and go foods. I go to sprouts or Whole Foods. Can't wait until this goes out of business so something better will come in. read more

I love Natural Grocers. They only have humanely raised and sourced products. The new store on Tennyson has a great open vibe. There is a large classroom area on the east side of the store and although I have not yet attended a class, the offerings sound quite interesting. The staff at the store are very helpful. Sharon helped us and she was very friendly. What a welcome addition to the Berkeley neighborhood! read more

I've been put on an incredibly strict regimen by my esthetician over the past 4 months, and that includes needing to avoid lots of ingredients commonly found in most foods. We're talking no dairy, soy, sodium/salt (sea salt is okay), certain nuts, fishes, egg yolks, corn oil, vegetable oil, canola oil and the list goes on. I've had to get very creative with meals and thankfully Natural Grocers provides plentiful options I cannot find at other grocery stores. Yes they are expensive, but unfortunately eating healthy these days in general is very expensive! read more

One of my favorite grocery stores! The location is great and they have a really nice space. Highly recommended.

Disgusted at how this place operates. Parked my car here so I could run into get a necessity item. I had to wait 10 minutes for them to open so my husband and took our dog out to use the restroom. When we can back 15 minutes later, our car was towed. While this review has nothing to do with the grocery store, their practices are disturbing as this is the parking lot for their store. While my husband waited there with our dog while I got the car, another car had been towed within a 15 minute time period. The guy told me they watch on cameras and if you walk of the parking lot, they tow your car immediately. Disgusting Natural Grocers for allowing this to happen. read more

Ok- Natural Grocers is a decent market generally but this location is awfully run. There is consistently the same 1 woman working the register and NO ONE else. Every time I have been into this location there is a huge line that forms around the aisles and it feels like none of their employees even notice OR care that the line takes 20+ minutes. Also, everyone that works here is not friendly- I have never seen a smile or a "thank you" or a "have a good day" even when I offer up those comments upfront. Actually, I take that back, the gentlemen that is in the front sanitizing the carts/baskets is always friendly but NO ONE else is. How can they compete with Whole Foods and Sprouts when they have poor customer service, awful lines, limited supplies and insanely high prices for the same products? Pass on this Natural Grocers location! read more

Some folks complain that Vitamin Cottage doesn't have the array of meat they are looking for. Or the prices are high. Well those folks are missing the point. The store is full of healthy products, from soap to produce to vitamins galore. The comparison I see people make would be like a vegan going into a butcher shop and complaining about the lack of vegetables. Natural Grocers is awesome. The staff is helpful and friendly. If you use your parking lot to go buy burritos and your car gets towed, get over it. They post signs everywhere. read more

Such a ripoff. Gave me a $40 off coupon for spending over $100 dollars in their store. Spent well over that including purchasing their reusable bags for $1. After checking out, clerk told me the coupon was only valid at the store named on the address which wasn't even close to my neighborhood. Never have felt so glad handed and violated by a grocery store in my life. Throwing away these bags as to not promote the brand. You got me natural grocery, ya crooks ya thiefs #FEARTHECOUPON #BEWARETHECOUPON read more

Absolutely disgraceful practices going on with their contracted tow service. They have a truck parked in the lot ready to remove a car within 1-3 minutes of parking; even with proof of receipt they ignored it and charged me $300 to get my car back. Manager of the store didn't even acknowledge the truck that was clearly waiting in the lot at the time. I truly wish I would've contacted the police regarding these sketchy business practices. read more

Disgusted and disappointed. Parked in the parking lot to go grab breakfast next door and then to come back for some groceries. Came back and my car was towed. The manager could care less. NEVER AGAIN WILL I SHOP HERE. Thanks for the $280 tow D***s!!! read more

I shop here almost daily and they've got everything I need. Great layout and it's an efficient store to walk thru without having to wade thru tons of junk food aisles. I think it's best if you shop with a grocery list off your weekly menu plans. I do wish there were a few items (like bulk parmesan cheese) that they'd manage to carry on a more regular basis, but they do take special orders and you can buy items in bulk by the flat. The staff in produce is esp helpful and can help you find just the right apple (with a taste test to judge it). read more

How can a place with the name "Natural Grocers" have such a terrible produce section? The selection is small, the prices are high, and the items are often bruised or damaged. read more

The staff at this Natural Grocers really need some anti-surliness training. The morale here must be low because I've had a clerk who whined about there not being enough customers, and another who glared at me because I was buying too much food (and making her work, I guess). No smiles, no offers of help, nada. The least friendly of all of the Natural Grocers I've been to (and I've been to many). Maybe these guys took the job because they thought they were working in a trendy area; well, kids, I lived here before it was full of stoned and cranky hipsters. So if you want people to come back, you might act friendlier than Whole Foods, especially given your overpriced, limited selection. read more

Good service every time I shop there. Although they don't always have everything I need, it is still a great place to go for staples, and I am always pleased with the organic selection they have available. read more

Love the new digs! Everyone was so friendly and helpful, parking spots were abundant (even as they were finishing up construction), and the selection of products were great! I'll be frequenting this new location. :-) read more

Natural Grocers is my favorite grocery store because they have the highest quality organic food standards of all, and great produce for affordable prices. As a vegetarian this is my go to grocery store! Friendly, helpful employees here as well. read more

Um, it's natural grocer. For folks bashing it because it doesn't have a "meat" department, you don't understand. Best selections of organic vegetables, nuts, and packaged foods, period. read more
