First time stopping here, I wanted a place to stop at while I was in the area to grab some snacks and drinks for the road. I'm surprised I've never visited the store but this place has a great selection of organic items. A lot of vegan and plant-based items too especially with their protein powder section. They have a little bit of an alcohol selection but nothing impressive. Great selection of supplements. Their clearance section I wasn't too impressed with either. Whether items or discounted they're actually at a great price because their normal price is a little steep read more

Been coming here a while now, experienced the renovation and previous to that. I really have had a great experience. Noteworthy employees are Isadora and Anthony, many wonderful experiences in store asking questions and simply kind and supportive exchanges. Isadora specifically is very compassionate and empathetic I have noticed not only with my encounters with her but her encounters with other people. Anthony was especially supportive and empathetic through the renovation process. Many of the natural grocers independence employees have been supportive but there are so many great moments I have had in this store with my kids and I will continue to return. Thank you natural grocers for providing a great space for wholesome shopping. read more

Headed to pick up some healthy snacks while I was working in KC for the week. Easy to navigate and made my stay better and kept me on track with my personal wellness goals! read more

It was quaint grocers. Bring your own bag or grab a box. They carry some of the rare finds . They help the differently abled.

Check out lines are very slow. Understaffed? May need at least a couple self check out

Fun store and has what I want when I need it. We are grateful for Natural Grocers. Give them a try

I love the food options and the tier of healthy food available. It is expensive but you get what you pay for. The only part that was noticeably frustrating or could be vastly improved on was speed of check out. SLOW, but the employees are pleasant and store clean. 5/5 minus the speed of check out. Wish they offered more coupons. read more

I really love this store for many reasons. In general I go there for items to supplement my regular shopping trips to the bigger stores. Yes, it is expensive, but you are getting really good food. My main issue here is that it takes so long to check out. Often I will take the time to drive to stores further away because I can get in and out quicker. I'm not sure what it is about their process that just makes everything take longer. I often have to wait 15 or 20 minutes in line to only ring up a few items. They would benefit from a self checkout. read more

We love Natural Grocers. The staff are so friendly, helpful,and knowledgeable. They are light years ahead of any grocery store.

I've lived in various states so have been to many a Natural Grocer over the years. This is the coolest one I've ever been in as far as the vibe of the space and the building. It's so much more aesthetically pleasing than the typical suburban generic "big box" stores that Natural Grocers are usually housed in. This one had the "cozier", unique feel of many natural food co-ops I've shopped at in Austin, Seattle, West Coast, etc. Yet it still had the great selection any other Natural Grocer would offer. read more

When I heard the owners of Nature's Pantry were going to retire, and a Natural Grocers was going to take their place, I was thrilled. I visited this Natural Grocers today. I have always loved the store in Overland Park, and this was a good move for the establishment. The employees remain from Nature's Pantry, but I noticed a slight price decrease. There were a few local items that Nature's Pantry had, that Natural Grocers doesn't yet carry. They are new. The cafe was busier than I've ever seen it. I didn't eat there, but it remains the only gluten free deli in the area. The selection was solid. There were tons of samples, and nothing has really changed, except for the prices. They are about .08 more than the Hy-Vee natural area up the street. Bring your own bags, cause there's no plastic bags or grocery bags in this store. I love that Natural grocer's is sustainable and non GMO. I hope they have as much success as it looks like they were having today. read more

It would be nice if this place had hand sanitizer wipes at the door like Whole Foods, sprouts and Trader Joe's has to wipe cart handles down!.... they must not care about hygiene i suppose!:/ Seems a little pricey here hmmm Not to impressed yet but time will tell! read more

I love this place for my many natural needs. Organic and GMO free just what I need for my healthy lifestyle. You are definitely my stop for my eggs and my sprouted bread and so much more. read more

I like Natural Grocers. Its close to my home and has a few items I like. They never have had the veggie burgers I want in stock though. They have organic produce and lots of vegan/vegetarian options. They even have organic animal produce such as dairy and meats. Its a good store for a health conscious person all around! read more

I loved Nature's Pantry but this place has ruined what used to be a great store. Natural Grocers is obviously just another bottom-line, profit hound corporate nightmare. 1) The staff is just OK. There are some staff members who were there when it was Nature's Pantry and for that, I am thankful. They are the best. The newer employees are mostly rude and condescending. 2) The prices are RIDICULOUSLY high now. The manager, Tony, is fond of saying prices went down an average of 10% from what Nature's Pantry charged. This is a flat out lie. They lowered A FEW items drastically and then raised all of the other prices so that my food bill has gone up at least 25% even when buying the same foods. No one can afford that these days. 3) Their NPower program is a joke and rarely works. They send you emails saying you'll get special deals and they never get truly loaded to your account, even when the computer tells you the "deals" were loaded successfully. It's all just a way to bump up their profits and steal more money from your wallet. 4) This particular store closes at 7:06 PM on Sundays. To anyone who does his/her homework, that's 66 minutes past the 6:00 hour. 666 5) They sometimes offer a $2 produce deal for stuff that isn't quite up to par. It's supposed to be a good deal...a way to buy produce that may not be as pretty as the other stuff. Instead of throwing it away, they offer it at a discounted price. This is a great idea and it started out great when they first started. But lately, they've been putting ROTTEN fruits and veggies in there. Stuff that DEFINITELY should be in the trash, they are charging for. Also, they've put a lot less in those offerings. The other day, they had a few bags with FIVE spears of asparagus...for $2. I'm sorry, but that's just rude. Also, they recently had cucumbers for $4+/pound. But in the $2 area, they had a bag with 4 cucumbers in it. They were so rotten they were WATERY. This is offensive to say the least. It's rude and scummy to do that to your loyal customers. Talk about taking advantage of them. All in all, it's been really disappointing watching this store go from GREAT as Nature's Pantry to corporate cash cow Natural Grocers. I have to say, I'll go there on occasion when they have an unbelievable sale but I won't be spending thousands of dollars there anymore. What a shame. read more

Pretty good place and they have good selection. Only issue is the time it takes to check out. Always some elderly person in line bringing the entire store to a halt read more

I'm new to KC, MO and see there's a real lag in clean grocery choices. NG is an oasis in a sea of GMO / Glyphosate filled stores and restaurants, however! Good quality in fresh produce and seasonal selections. Getting into the early 2000's "Whole Paycheck" domain with some of the organic and clean food selections, with some more affordable national organic items mixed in. Keep exploring your sourcing options and keep it up, NG! read more

I like the products they carry very much but their Customer Care is terrible. I was just in the store (at a slower than usual time) and found it necessary to leave my cart and intended purchases. Shopped for 15 minutes and was in line for at least 15 more. Had other errands to run before school got out. So disappointed! read more

Pleasantly surprised to pick up my race packet here for the Independence Half Marathon and grab some CLEAN sports nutrition supplements that I forgot at home while traveling. Very nice and clean store with helpful staff. Thumbs up! read more

I am such a fan now. This is definitely the place to go if you're on ANY kind of diet. Not only do they cater to every need nutritionally through food, but they have aisles of supplements, vitamins, and drinks. They also carry products to aide in pretty much everything. Think of it as a healthy Walgreens with organic food and numerous specialist that walk around waiting to answer any question. Love this place and see it becoming a staple in my life now. Oh, and they offer SEVERAL samples of things you can try before you buy. Thank goodness too, I would have never found out that I love lebanese cheese with a middle eastern sweet hot sauce lol. read more

Natural Grocers - Greatest snack ever. Like, knee-buckling good. On Pita spread the lebaneh (Lebanese Cheese Spread) then top with the sweet shatta - Organic Stores Near Me - Independence, Missouri

They have become so bad, I refuse to go there. The service is absolutely awful. I haven't had the same cashier twice and I always have to have a disagreement about case pricing on their food bars (which I rarely find in stock). Too bad, however Terra is right down the street and there's a new organic food market going into the old Office Max location in Lee's Summit. My experience this weekend at Natural Grocers was my last. read more

I've been shopping her for a couple of years now and have been finding less and less to buy since it went from Nature's Pantry. I wanted to love the new ways, but I can't name one positive change. The price and variety of herbs, especially real cinnamon was what snagged me years ago. They do not carry it anymore. I've enjoyed the mostly local and organic produce. Now they are inconsistent and have reduced their selection. The ambiance pretty much feels... Disingenuous. I know pretty soon, I'm not even going to have a reason to return. I can only hope someone else buys it out again. read more

Beware! Food poisoning! Now both my brother in law and I have gotten food poisoning from the rotisserie chickens that sit out all day under the lamps. Classic improperly stored chicken symptoms, 4 hour delay, headache, nausea, diarrhea, aching. I like some of their stuff and the supplement reps are good. Otherwise I'm staying forever away from the prepared food! read more

They have really good customer service here. All the employees knew exactly where everything was done to the "T".

I have had several shopping days here but am not impressed . The stuff there is MUCH higher than what I paid when it was Natures Pantry. They dont have good sales like Natures pantry did ..They have a weekly ad in the paper with maybe 10 items on sale and usually vitamins or more expensive Protein powders etc... This doesnt help my pocketbook... They also have not had or have been out of many things I have been there for almost every time I have been there.. read more

I am new to this store, and I don't understand all of the negative ratings. My health care providers have advised me to move to a more Mediterranean-style diet ... less red meat, lots of fish, fruits, veggies, nuts. Fruits and vegetables are easy to find in nearly every grocery store. Fresh fish is available in a limited number of stores. I couldn't find a good selection of the nuts that I was supposed to have until I went to Natural Grocers. There's a phenomenal selection of shelled nuts. I got pecans, walnuts, filberts (hazelnuts), cashews, almonds, and macadamias. They have a decent selection of organic vegetables at reasonable prices. They have dairy products. I found HeidiHo's there! I saw it profiled on Shark Tank and wanted to try it, but no store carried it. I was planning a trip out to Whole Foods to look for it, but I found it at Natural Grocers. They have a club (N-power). I gave them my e-mail address, and they send me coupons via e-mail. I just select the ones that I want, and they are loaded to my account. When I go to one of their area stores, I enter my phone number, and the coupons are automatically applied. No clipping! All in all, I'm glad that Natural Grocers has come to town, and I am a new, returning customer! read more
