Natural Grocers has their own non-organic brand - the labels of which are too similar to their organic brand. The same yellow and orange. It's too easy to accidentally buy their crappy too-expensive non-organic brand that has chemicals in it. I can go to a regular store for this BS. read more

What an awesome experience! We live in Denver and just so happened to be in the area to enjoy this store. From entry to exit, Tammy, Manager in Produce, took such fantastic care of us. She and her team were such a blessing to us, I'm certain from her astute leadership. Thanks again for having us, my family will always love being customers with Natural Grocers. Almighty bless! P.S. The store looks so beautiful! read more

I've never been to this natural grocers before, but I've been shopping at natural grocers for years now, and this was one of the most uncomfortable experiences. The first cashier just walked off because she assumed the person before me car didn't work so she followed her out the store. Then the next cashier was fine,. Then after I walked paid and walked out , the person training her followed me out and said are those El Dorado exchanges, and I said no they are refills, That's what I said. She said oh just wanted to make sure, so uncomfortable. These things could've been handled differently to make it not uncomfortable, but there was no regard. No, I'm sorry. No nothing just no regard. The door only gets two stars because it has four slots to refill water bottles. read more

Typical Natural Grocers, nice selection, clean store and friendly staff. Would visit again if I'm nearby and need of some tasty booch or anything else. read more

I like this little Natural Grocer. Excellent selection of good looking and fresh organic veggies. A few good options for prepackaged grass fed meats and affordable vitamins. This is always my go to store for perfectly ripe avocados. I'm not sure how they do it, I can't even time the ripeness when they've been sitting on my kitchen counter. The produce manager here must have super powers. The cashiers are very friendly, smiley and extra mellow. No bags available so make sure to bring your own. Or just try and carry it out the door in your coat and look like an idiot like I did, read more

I went into the store last night and there was an issue with checking out and it seemed I was being overcharged. I asked the cashier to void out the transaction and start over. They never have enough cashiers and you always stand in line and they are understaffed. The manager on duty took over for the cashier and was not kind. They were rude and not pleasant and definitely did not give good customer service. They showed me the voided out transaction but would not give me a copy of the voided out transaction for my records because they ran my credit card twice. They said they needed the copy and would not give me a copy. They started to yell at me when I was at their register in front of customers. They glared at me with hateful eyes and told me to check my bank statements. They were not kind or respectful and I had no record if I was overcharged. They re-rang my food items again and I paid again. This manager is unprofessional and disrespectful. No customers deserve to be treated badly just trying to shop and go to Sprouts or WholeFoods than this store. I contacted the customer service line and reported this unprofessional manager. read more

I love this store and have shopped here consistently for the past 10 years. It is my favorite grocery store for so many reasons! I was surprised to see any negative reviews. The staff have always been super friendly and recognize me when I come in. And the prices are lower than Sprouts or Whole Foods for the same products, and even lower during sales. They have excellent quality organic produce, and they have a great selection of dry and refrigerated bulk items, including nuts, nut butter, grains, flour, and spices. The spices are organic and individually packaged, fresher than bulk spices kept in jars in other stores. I like the selection of meats, including Mary's air-chilled chicken. They only sell eggs that are produced humanely, and they have a rating system for the eggs. If you get a member card, some of the eggs are only 1.99. What a deal! Natural Grocers has a philosophy/goal of increasing wellness in the community and providing education about food, so they provide free nutrition/wellness workshops and counseling sessions. The nutrition coach Tricia at the Northglenn store has been super helpful for me! I love shopping at this store because of the quality, the reasonable prices, and knowing I'm spending my money at a business that is wellness-based and locally owned. This store is my grocery "happy place." Thank you, Natural Grocers! read more

I appreciate that they will check availability of items before I take the drive. One of the few places that carry soy curls. Always helpful. I like that they wear masks and I feel safe shopping there. I will keep this store on my list. read more

I like the convenience of having a natural grocers in my area.. the only drawback is that their sales are limited.. . The staff is very knowledgeable and friendly, and they have a nice section of homeopathic medicated solutions. From cleansing products to natural soda. You have to bag your own groceries, and you will have to find a box or something to put it in...The staff should have available boxes by the checkout so customers don't have to hunt for them.. the only drawback to this place.. overall...It's a good convenient natural market.. read more

I start this by saying I love Natural Grocers by the Vitamin Cottage, but I was disappointed by my first visit to this store. I was visiting town and my gout was acting up and I didn't bring my normal supplements. I stopped in to pick up " Go-out" complex that I've purchased at several Natural Grocers stores before. I couldnt find it on the shelf and asked two people ( one of which was the vitamin manager) about it and they helped me but couldn't find it on the shelf. Obviously I was disappointed as this has been the best product for my condition and I've never had a problem finding it at Natural Grocers by Vitamin Cottage. The manager showed me a possible comparable product that I purchased. That waz fine until I was several miles away and noticed the product was expired by several months. Again I love Natural Grocers and will continue shopping there but I won't be back to this location. read more

I have made a point to buy from Natural Grocers over the last 25 years instead of Amazon, realizing I am paying more in your store, and am officially done with you. Bought some items that no longer had testers, asked if they are returnable, was told that I could with a receipt. The very unfriendly Manager and store associate treated me like crab and I made me feel like a thief when I returned the items. I literally had to plead my case and practically beg for a refund. Amazon is getting my business now. read more

Rudest customer service ever!!! The minute I got into line the cashier gave me the most horrible feeling like I did not belong there. As if that was not enough she preceded make to stand in another line fir no reason,when I asked the other cashier if there was a rule to which line a six pack of ale beer could be purchased she said no. I don't understand why a person would have a customer service position if they could not deliver customer service. Cashier totally made us feel unwanted. read more

Expensive. Produce looked pretty good. Meat section belongs in a tiny circus. The back wall refrigerators have some interesting offerings, so peruse that section. Their vitamin/weird-things-in-bottles aisles are brimming with items I don't know what to with and their chip aisle, for me, is very hit-or-miss. The thing I didn't like was the small print under items designed to lure you in with incredibly low prices only to find out you need to sign up to get these great prices before hitting the register. Got caught with this on some eggs (wow, crazy fine print---bring bifocals) and when the real price rang up I was educated on the way things work in there. I chose to not purchase the eggs, but since they had already been rung up, I had to go through a return process that is more complicated than at a used car lot. They have some cool stuff, but look carefully at the stipulations behind what you are buying because no one at the register is going to give you the 411. read more

Found this little gem while in town for work. I mean it's not Lucky's but darn close, full of healthy options, well organized, nice staff, and picnic tables out front up sit and eat. 4 stars because no deli, salad bar, pizza station ... Lucky's has me spoiled read more

I love this little corner grocer. The overall vibe is calm and I enjoy leisurely comparing their products to see if I can find something healthier/less sugar etc. Also, their commitment to sustainability, their integrity to their employees and their community ties are how grocery stores SHOULD operate. The Awesome... - They participate in community outreach for nutrition and take requests for food donations - If you're looking for a well-vetted, high-quality health products - this is THEE place - Well priced for the holistic benefits of what they offer - No big sales, but their everyday prices are very reasonable and competitive - Expansive vitamin section - Organic everything - Tasty pre-made salad and hummus options - Many high quality protein shakes - Well priced on their bulk items -- like bags of chia - Sustainable in their landscaping and NG does not use plastic bags at all - Very kind, knowledgeable and helpful staff -- no matter what day I stop by - It's not crowded, I love the slow pace of shopping at NG On one hand, I wish I could buy everything here, and on the other hand I know that it's meant to be a small specialty grocer with the highest quality products. *Sigh* I guess we can't have everything, right? NG does offer everything it humbly claims to though. I recommend it! read more

I used to love Natural Grocers and have been shopping there almost weekly for the past 8 years. (Check my N power acct.) Today I went into the Northglenn store to exchange my fav cream cheese. I bot it a week ago and opened it three days ago. The sides were brown. I looked at the packaging and realized it was slit open underneath the plastic sealed covering. I almost started to throw out the brown sides and keep it, but thought better of it. For $6, or any amount of $, one should have a secured safe package. I went to the store to exchange it and was told as of 3/24/20, there are NO More Returns. Thankfully, I was able to exchange the product after getting the Manager's approval. Guess what, same issue with the new product- a slit in the packaging underneath the sealed cover. I can't be bothered trying to exchange it again. SHAME ON NATURAL GROCERS! This is not the time to be starting a 'NO RETURN POLICY'. Maybe NG Corporate thinks returning bad food is not considered essential. People pay good money and should receive a good product. read more

Sure, food prices at stores like this tend to be more expensive than at your local grocery store, but you won't find like quality for better price anywhere else. They specialize in bringing in quality meats, produce, and conenient items that are more diverse in their selections than at the larger grocery stores. And in addition to that they have a large selection of vitamins. It could be daunting the various types/brands that are available, which is good to have team members around to make the right selection. This was my primary location back in the day, but it is still nice to visit and know that it is still around to be able to visit. read more

Natural Grocers in Northglenn, CO is a God-send. Wonderful organic produce, eggs and dairy, etc., and GREAT prices! Since it's a small store, you get to know the staff and enjoy a neighborhood market kind of experience. read more

Similar to a Whole Foods decent selection but also similar high prices. Weirdly they had every kind of milk you could think of except soy milk?? read more

I love this store. They have such good prices and I love their selection of herbs, spices, teas, among other things. They frequently carry less common things like xylitol that I don't always see at Whole Foods for example. However, I have to knock them down to three stars because of their dairy products. I have had to throw out every piece of cheese I have ever bought from them. I have also thrown out some of the yogurt and today I opened a bad gallon of milk. Sure, I'm sure they'd take it back if I went to return it, but realistically how many people go back to return stuff like that? I rarely do. I just forget and forget. And I doubt I'll remember to take this milk back. If they could do something about their dairy section, this would be a fabulous little store. Well it still is if you stick to the other aisles. read more

Natural Grocers is by far the healthiest and least expensive store of its kind around. I spent many years as a Trader Joes fan while living in CA and AZ and was sad to not find a TJs in CO. When Sprouts opened up I was somewhat pacified. BUT THEN, I educated myself more on food. I now understand how very important it is to eat whole, organic foods and supplement your diet where your food choices might be missing key nutrients. I also recognize the benefits of treating ailments naturally. Sprouts and Sunflower Markets are merely more specialized King Soopers or Safeway. Actually, I take that back. Most King Soopers store have healthier selections than Sprouts and Sunflower. Next time you're in any of these store make note of the size and selection of their organic produce section compared to the non organic section. Then, if you shop in the aisles, compare organic and or fair trade options to non. While you're at it, jot down some prices of organic foods, then trek over the Natural Grocers. Make NG your last stop and bring your reusable bags in with you. You will find that this store is so far ahead of its competitors in selection of truly healthy or diet specific foods (i.e. gluten free) and at remarkably better prices. I've been sucked in by the bigger stores that appear to have wider selections - but the areas of wider selection are those foods we shouldn't be eating. I will give Sunflower shout-out with their deli. Boar's Head deli meats are about the best deli meats one can buy in terms of good quality, nitrite and nitrate free (for the most part) meats. There are healthier options than any deli meat, but if you're going to have it you should go for Boars Head. I will touch on bin food, as well.... While the idea of having no trash (especially plastic trash) is a good one, there is also the inability to provide quality, fresh, bug-free, and germ-free foods if its supplied in a bin. Okay, enough berating of the competitors and a refocus on the store at hand. Natural Grocers (all locations) is the real deal. If you're looking for truly healthy options at the lowest possible price, shop here. The selection of truly healthy foods is MUCH greater than you'll find anywhere else (including Trader Joes, which is just another Sprouts or Sunflower, though less expensive and with liquor). Regarding the Northglenn store specifically, I have found the employees to be both courteous and knowledgeable. They're the same employees, as far as I can tell, since the store opened, too, so either they believe their employer to be the best store, too, or they are treated well by their employer, or both. The store is clean and well stocked. I have even been able to get special-order items - all items (stock and special order) are priced lower than anywhere I've ever found, including the Internet (supplements, protein powders, etc.). If you go into Natural Grocers and find yourself disappointed by their selection, perhaps the problem isn't with their selection, but with your knowledge of what you should be eating. read more

Most of these people are very nice except for an older manager who went out of her way to tell me their policy in a very ugly way regarding an incidental issue. read more

After twenty years in retail, I have never been so disappointed. I have never had a retailer refuse to match pricing on their own product when they are out of stock on a common item or refuse to give a raincheck. They were not even concerned about losing a customer nor the bad word of mouth and bad reviews that would result from simply matching their normal pricing on a similar product. read more

I'm a little spoiled because I just moved here from CA, where we had an amazing organic grocer. However, I don't know what I would do without this place. I'm giving them 5 stars because they have almost everything I need and the staff is wonderful. I would love to see them expand one day and include a deli/bakery and juice bar. But I'm happy, for now. read more

I love this place! For my needs, this store knocks Whole Foods out of the park. I love the pricing on "bulk" items (e.g., protein powders, nuts, etc. which are packaged by the company). In addition, my primary trips to Natural Grocers are for the "in between" times, where I am needing a supplement or three, but am not ready to place my typical online order through my preferred vendor for that. Their selection, despite being a smaller location, is fantastic; they actually carry those 3 supplements of which I tend to run out at odd times. The employees are extremely helpful, kind, and sincere. I do not even consider the competition anymore, knowing that what I need is right here! Oh- and since they have extended their hours, its a major plus! In a city where NOTHING is open past midnight anymore, I'd say 9:04pm is fantastic for such a store! read more

Great service at the best locally owned chain in CO. Shopping at them for years with superb products to choose from.

A fairly small Natural Grocers location, but they have most of what I need for my weekly shopping. The produce is almost always better than Sprouts, and the prices are lower than Whole Foods. The staff at this location are friendly and recognize me when I come in twice a week. In short, it is a grocery store full of healthy food options and consistently helpful employees. read more

Need this store in Chicago, I never knew there was more than the whole paycheck store out there. The prices were very reasonable and the macaroons we got here were so great, the Wife ate them all in one night! read more

I live at natural grocers, and this location is no exception. I am usually pretty good at finding what I need, but I have noticed the last few times I've been in, someone hasn't come up to ask me if I needed help. Maybe I've been in so much they figure I know my way around. Huge selection of herbs and rare items you just can't find other places. So glad they built one over this way- Love love love! read more

Can't beat knowledgeable and friendly help. Being gluten and dairy free, it's a challenge to find variety of foods. These guys succeed. The only drawback is the pricing on some commodities, namely Almond Dream & Amy's Kitchen. I can typically find these cheaper other places. SPICE AISLE IS AWESOME & inexpensive. read more

I love Natural Grocers! They are generally much better priced than Whole Foods for their produce, though sales are limited and some of the packaged goods are more costly. Nonetheless, an awesome store :) read more

I've been here a few times since it opened I can't say too much bad about it but I just feel like the competition does a better job than this store does it can be a bit cheaper on a few things but the quality I feel isn't as good read more

I love this location, the staff are always so helpful and knowledgeable. Great customer service.

Lately some of my groceries have not been ringing up correctly. A few weeks ago two 2-lb bags of carrots rang up as 5-lb bags of carrots. I bought 2 avocados and was charged for three. A sale price on eggs didn't ring up. The price on a shelf item rang up higher than the price tag on the shelf. If you're going to shop there, check your receipt before you leave the parking lot, or watch the items as they ring up. I've always liked this store and tried to support it, but I don't know if I will continue. I don't know if it's new management or if something is fishy here. Watch yourreceipts carefully. read more

The manager here is a goofball. Spent 10 minutes at the register to checkout one bag worth of groceries. The reason why it took so long? Because he was talking shit about sprouts and how they have long lines and it takes so long to get through there. Lmao iv never spent that much time at a register even with a stuffed full cart. I wanted to tell him to shut up and scan my items. Literally wouldn't shut up about sprouts. Sprouts is where I will be going from now on lol read more

I went to this location for the first time last week and was delighted to find that they only stock 100% organic fruits and veggies. This is exactly what I was looking for, although their prices are not cheap-their selection of produce was great. My family loves eating raw tomatoes and apples and I was pleasantly surprised to find three varieties of oganic apples (including Fuji-our favorite) and tomatoes. Their selection of natural beauty products and health bars was also pretty good-again a little pricey but I was able to reduce my bill significantly by only buying items on sale. I actually loved their store policy of no bags-you can either get your own or they pack your items in cardboard boxes. The bottom line is if you are an eco consious consumer and like to eat fresh natural foods-you need to give this place a try. read more

Great selection...things you wont find anywhere else. Just dont go close to closing time. The generally nice and helpful employees get Jekyll and Hyde. I live a couple blocks away and checked out appx 10 min prior to close and realized my husband had left his wallet at home. I sat on the curb locked out while they kept coming out every few minutes asking how much longer was he going to be. One even insinuated if he wasnt back soon they were going to return my groceries to shelves. He got back a few minutes after closing time and all the employees were acting all huffy. Im a RN.....boy if I treated my patients like that every time I had to stay late...what would people think of me? read more

I absolutely love Natural Grocers. Not only do they carry a wide selection of excellent products, they are hands down the least expensive of all the "health" food stores. Their prices beat Sprouts and Whole Foods every time--and I have checked. I've visited many Natural Grocers, and I always have good experiences. This is the store I use most often. The associates here are always friendly and helpful. The store is clean and well-stocked. My favorite store to shop at! read more

Great place and good customer service. Always have great produce! Love this pace.
