For all ur nature based organic products, look no further and head straight to this tiny boutique…read moreshop. Running from over 15 years, its now executed by two extensively knowledgeable men Mr.Dean and his son. If you are visiting a store for the first time, then ask for their expert advice about the line of products they carry and the benefits of it. In my opinion that is brilliant customer service. The shelves are all stocked up with organic herbal teas,coffee,honey and all other grocery items. Go get the best fragrant incense sticks or a salt lamp. Looking for any health related products like nature based vitamins, syrups n even shilajeet. (If you know how rare it is). There are many many good products for face and body including hand pressed body soaps. Local artisan bread n other baked goodies. Just go and look for ur self all the products in store. There is plenty of parking and n front if the store.

I'm recommending the Lifestyle Market Cafe as a good place to stop in for a healthy, nutritious…read morelunch; Eat in or take out, with friendly counter service and a variety of choices and combinations to consider in the display cases. For just over $10 I ordered a slice of vegetable pizza, a thumb-size chunk of smoked salmon and a bottle of Kombucha. The pizza was more like a delicious, thick layered vegetable and greens pie with a tasty tomato sauce and flatbread-like base. The Sointula maple salmon was subtly smoked, dense, fresh tasting and divine. Overall, a pleasant surprise and I'm thinking this would be a good stop to put together a picnic or a lunch for the park or beach . . . .

Is that the problem the store is suffering not a lot of customers things definitely overpriced. I'd like to see the store get a new vibe and keep open.

Pomme worker(s) don't wear masks, act evasive and act untoward when confronted…read more I was in the Pomme store in Nanaimo at 7:30 PM on March 3rd, 2021. I grabbed a few things quickly and checked out. When checking out I noticed the cashier was wearing one of those small plastic chin strap guards. It doesn't even cover the nose, and is far from the mouth anyways. It's worthless as a mask. I said what "I think what you are wearing is useless as a mask". The cashier heel turned, "Well, I have my reasons for wearing it" and acted like I was untoward and none of my business. I've been wearing masks for everyone for the last year, to help reduce COVID infections and recent infections have a circuit breaker in April 2021 in BC. Because of this, I think not wearing a mask is not a cool move. Also, I would like to know before shopping if a store workers ignore health guidelines. Store was almost empty besides the cashier, so the cashier was a manager or well seen by the management.

Feeling refreshed, boosted and cleansed with these delicious cold- pressed juice from Juice Truck…read more I had these three weeks ago, as I want something to boost my health and diet. I tried the three day cleanse which arrived fresh two days after ordering. I'm not new to juice cleanse, so I'm familiar with the not tasty taste of some veggie juice, but for these juices, all were delicious, primarily sweet; only "The green" juice is not sweet. All were palatable, and I like that each juice comes with more than five ingredients. The three-day cleanse has 21 juices, so seven juice per day, which to me, I can only consume five juice as I felt so full already and since most were sweet, I already felt energized with it. Overall I had them for four days with snacks on the first day. So far, I did not feel hungry or weak during the cleanse; I just craved something salty. Overall, the juice truck cleanse is delicious, fresh and healthy. For the price, $195 for three-day cleanse, it's like $9.30 per juice; it's just right with the variety of juice you get with more than five combinations of ingredients on each juice. Highly recommended for those who want to boost their health, want to save time on juicing, or even a good start to losing weight.
