They have an excellent selection of healthy and not-so-healthy foods and drinks, including a good stock of fairly traded items (such as Traidcraft cereal, loo roll, etc.). The staff are always friendly and very helpful - although I've never had to ask anything they have an extensive stock of herbal remedies and seem to cater for any ailment you might have. The staff are very knowledgeable and can advise on what might be the best remedy. The prices are reasonable; it's a real treasure trove of healthy goodies.

Holland & Barrett often have some great deals in their 'Penny Sale' or 'Buy One Get One Half Price…read moreon Everything' deals. This is quite a small shop so they don't have any fresh food (no fridge or freezer section) but you can still buy a few good "free from" items such as soya milk and vegetarian jelly. I think they're missing out on lots of potential customers as there isn't another health food shop in Redcar. Their staff are always friendly and happy to help so it's always a pleasure to shop there. Everything else I said in my previous review is still accurate - they still sell a good range of dried fruit, snacks, alternative medicines and vitamins, and now that they have a points/loyalty card it means I'm even more likely to shop there.

Almonds and raisins was the original health food store in Newcastle.It was based in the old…read morebuilding that housed The Queen's Cinema.Moved to Eldon Square but is now based in Princess Square,just off Northumberland Street. It's always been a favourite of mine.They offer a wide range of health supplements and whole foods and alternative remedies.Although the prices are sometimes a bit higher than some of thier competitors(Holland and Barrett ect) the goods on offer are of high quality. The one thing they can offer that Holland and Barrett don't is a cafe and vegetarian snack food.If you want main meals don't go too late though as the food is good and has it's regulars.It's very well priced too,so why not give it a try.

After being used to paying over the odds in certain health food shops, I was pleased to discover…read morethis shop and walked in on a day of the sales. It's fairly big and stocks food which is natural, healthy, suitable for vegans and people on a gluten free diet. From seeds, nuts, and rice crackers to dried fruit and confectionery. I did manage to over look the drinks selection in my crazy sale buying spree. This is a great place to buy your five a day because you don't have to worry about things going rotten after a few days. There was some peculiar looking things that I hadn't seen or heard of before and lots of favourite snacks too. Well worth a look if you're after tasty treats.

On entering the shop, my eyes were met with a beautiful array of fresh, organic fruit and…read morevegetables. (Or venchtables as I used to call them, until I was embarrassingly old enough to know better.) Large wicker baskets full of apples greet the customer, many having the all important bonus leaf. It truly made me want to pick them up and start skipping through a nearby meadow, wearing a flowing dress and possibly conversing with tamed animals. Too far? Forget it. A former vegetarian myself, I understand the convenience of having somewhere like Out Of This World to rely on in a city centre. It means being able to purchase items which are sometimes not even stocked in the larger supermarkets, to maintain a balanced diet without being forced to use unwanted substitutions. Too well stocked to be a health food shop, Out Of This World falls into the category of health food supermarket. There is a huge range of the usual nuts, seeds and pulses; but also a surprising number of Traidcraft toiletries, recycled stationary, hair dye and household cleaning products. Alongside fairly traded tea and coffee, vitamins, supplements and natural remedies, the store also caters for sufferers of restrictive diets. There is a varied selection of groceries for people who have to omit gluten, wheat and diary from their nutritional intake, and a large number of vegetarian and vegan ready meals. One reason why I particularly like Out Of This World, is because they stock Samuel Smith ale and lager. A real favourite with my Other Half and I, they provide us with a constant hoard. Bondgate Bakery in Otley supply the store with freshly baked loaves and buns, with gluten and wheat free alternatives available. A deli counter offers freshly made quiches, samosas and wraps - a handy lunch or a lazy supper. The staff are very approachable and were more than happy to assist me in finding a difficult item for a family member. What I mean by that, is my Gran was looking for bee pollen, because the lothario that she listens to on her local radio station had been praising its medical benefits. Any shop that can help me in my quest for bee pollen, has earned respect in my eyes.

A lot of places have changed in what feels like a very small space of time, but not Out Of This World. I used to come here on Saturdays to purchase their organic milk and elderflower cordial for the bar that I worked at on Call Lane. It was always handy to stock up in case anyone wanted a White Russian, but really it was mostly to supply my need for coffee. Also, there is nothing quite as refreshing as elderflower cordial and lemonade. Seriously, it used to be my favourite drink. I love the smell when you walk in to this shop. It's not exclusive, it's that same smell most organic shops have, but it is lovely. The smell of good. Only goodness. Nothing in here can really be bad for you. At least, that's what we can believe until we learn otherwise! Within you will find, as well as hoards of organic foods, all sorts of enviro-friendly cosmetics, cleaning products (for you and your clothes) and much more. It errs on the expensive side if you wanted to do your weekly shop here, but it is sure worth buying that elderflower cordial. Yum!

The good thing about it is that it generally appears too healthy for the students in the nearby college so if you do go in you can guarantee they won't be there filling the place out. Staff are lovely always polite, service with a smile! The prices aren't that great though, can be a little pricy I find and although they do sell nice things, it's quite a tiny branch so there isn't loads in it.
