This is a great health food store with a fantastic selection ... my only qualm is the price level ... everything you touch is expensive ... even the most ordinary food stuffs. read more

I could spend hours and hundreds of dollars in here. So many healthy things, wine, spices, teas, fresh organic produce. And of course their deli is delicious. I love their smoothies, sandwiches and desserts. read more

Love this store. I came here for the olive oil and the aged Balsamic vinegar. Prices are great and you can buy bottles from them to put them in. I have not found olive oil and balsamic vinegar of this quality and price in NorCal, so i hope the locals can appreciate this ;) read more

Nice small town store with good selection of products. Premade stuff looked good, hope to try it next time. They sell something called Golden Garlic, which is this roasted garlic (we just ate it with a spoon and pita chips). It is delicious and addictive. Service was very friendly. read more

We live close enough to Rainbow Bridge to walk there, so out of pure convenience, we shop there pretty often. Having said that and fully taking responsibility for our choices, in certain instances, Rainbow Bridge is quite overpriced, and this is well known around town. Again, it is convenient for us NOT to have to get into our car and drive to a store to buy stuff, but WHO sets pricing for this place? During THANKSGIVING, they offered turkey and certain trimmings in the deli section at a price of $25 per pound of turkey and gravy. PER POUND. They charged $12 per pound of cranberry sauce (cranberries, red wine, pectin, sugar). 12 BUCKS! What the?? Honestly, if you saw what you get for $37, you'd feel the same about the pricing in this instance, and no, the food did not come with a gold fork and knife. The produce isn't ever the greatest either, many times being old, wilted, or moldy. Deli people are usually cool, and the workers on the floor are usually helpful as they can be. The cashiers are hit or miss, some having sparkling and bubbly personalities who are always friendly, and others who are duller than the shine on the bell in the bell tower above the post office. They do offer many cool items that you wouldn't easily find elsewhere, though the newer Westridge Market (old Starr Market) IS picking up steam since their remodel, having added an organic fruits and vegetable section, an organic dairy section, and a deli section as well. Overall, the store is cool for its varied selection and wide array of different products, and their sister store Rainbow Warehouse is an awesome addition and GREAT for saving money on bulk items. Yes, "it's Ojai", but that doesn't mean you should jack up prices just because. To reference the previous review, I sure hope pets aren't being charged overinflated prices on the Rainbow Bridge for their transition to the other dimension. read more

This place is GREAT! Not only do they specialize in organic produce and products, they sell cactus jerky and have their own water bottling area. Bring your own glass container and enjoy some BPA free water! read more

If you're visiting Ojai and wondering where you can find all your health food staples, Rainbow Bridge is the place to go! The deli counter has a great organic breakfast which was perfect for us before hiking! For a small store, they carry a wide range of items, whether its food, supplements, herbs. The trail mix in the bulk bins is fantastic. Rainbow Bridge seemed to be one of the few vegan friendly places in Ojai! Check it out! read more

Food and juice bar is good. Tried to ask a lady for a bathroom key and basically shushed me and walked away.

My boyfriend and I were a week into our cleanse and this store had everything we needed and more. We probably purchased half of their gluten free and raw vegan stuff over two days. We also had a wonderful breakfast at the sandwich bar. Not only that, but we were left wanting to try a lot of their products for post-cleanse. Everyone was very helpful and we really enjoyed coming here. A little gem in ojai! Thanks guys :) read more

Some stuff seems overpriced but then some of its pretty obscure too. Staff new what i was looking for when i asked but watch out for some of the most absent minded customers in the world who will not move out of the way unless you physically move them. read more

Ojai's mainstay health food store. Some items are magnificently overpriced. But it stocks an incredible variety for a town of this size, and the checkout people are always friendly. read more

I have lived in Ojai for 10 years. In the old, old days, I would go in and get salads...they were full of organic vegetables and plenty of fillings. I would basically, get 7 (one for everyday) $5 salads...plus since I was in there, I would then grab other things I didn't really need, but wanted. The average of my purchases a week was $150. Multiply by 52 and multiply by 10 years. $78,000. Here is my experiences over the last 10 years that have made me never go there, unless I can help it. I stopped going about 8 years ago and here is why: They slowly decided to nickel and dime the consumer. I always get the veggie, tofu salads. The veggie tofu salads used to be $2 cheaper than the chicken salads (Same exact ingredients, but swap out the tofu and chicken.) Along while back they started charging the tofu people, the same price as the chicken people. We all know a container of tofu is $2-3 and a thing of chicken is 5-6 times more. Next, a friend pointed this out to me...he said, "Look at the ingredients and you will see they don't put all organic veggies in the salads." I looked and lo and behold...the 'used to be' organic salads are now swapped out for non-organic. Basically, when things like this happen, as a consumer, you are left feeling duped. Studies show, consumers like to feel smart, not dumb and duped. So, this one thing, made me not go there anymore, unless and only unless I have no food at home and have to. Rainbow Bridge, you are smart and you can calculate, for yourself how much money this has cost you. (The average of my purchases a week was $150. Multiply by 52 and multiply by 10 years.) $78,000. Now, if you scroll down and read the reviews below you will see loads of people complain about the cost. If you would actually give your customers fair prices, and keep good quality things coming, I bet you could increase your profit margin hugely. All the locals would actually come back instead of going to Lassen's and the farmers market. (By the way.... I am a Marketing expert and a multi-millionaire. I only state this for clarity so that you are aware that I know what I am talking about. I've made millions by pricing things with testing and re-testing to create the largest portion of consumers having a happy experience, with what I share.) So, even though, I have plenty of money, I don't like to feel like I am being duped and swindled. This is why I don't go in your store anymore. So, in reality, all these smooth hidden tricks, just make you look cheap and unattractive to the consumer. Now...there are other things that I would love to point out. The salads are not as veggie hefty as they used to be. They have way more salad greens and way less toppings. They also changed the containers to hold less than what we used to get. Also....the deli fresh people need some training. They put on a glove, touch the cabinet to open it (i.e. touch the germs and now their gloved hand is germy.) and then grab customers food without using tongs. THIS IS GROSS!!! GROSS!!! WHERE IS THE COMMON SENSE? The gloves are meant to keep the customers food germ free, not your fricken hands germ free. I have brought this up to the deli manager multiple times.....it still happens. So, before ordering food, please tell your deli person to use the utensils and please don't grab your food with their hands. You get the point...... One last idea...please clean your bathrooms more often. Shiny, clean, happy bathrooms, make us think you care about quality and cleanliness. I try to avoid public restrooms...but the 3 times I have had to use yours...it was GROSSSSSSSSSSSS! I ended up leaving, not purchasing anything because the experience was so visceral I could not think of food anymore. All this is said with love and compassion and hopefully, the owners will poll people about how much they spend per week on average and how much more the customers would spend with reasonable, feel good prices. Blessings! read more

I don't ever post BUT I was very disappointed in how the market isn't taking the Covid -19 serious! When I approached the check out counter the checker was not wearing gloves but had a mask hanging around her neck. I asked her if she would put gloves on , she took a deep breath and said I don't have any I'll have to go get them. She started to reach for my food I told her I have some in my car I'll get you some! She looked at me irritated and pulled out a pair of gloves from her pocket!? Reluctantly she put them on. She looked at me and said do you know how many people have touched your food at the point? I was taken a back! I told her it wasn't right that she doesn't want to protect herself & the customers! At that point she didn't want to have anything to do with me! The mask still hanging around her neck! I did call the manager when I got home to express my concern. He apologized said he would talk to her, but stated that the clerks are frustrated because the shoppers come in and tell them what there doing wrong! I don't think asking to put gloves on during this Pandemic was out of line. read more

If you're in the Ojai area and need all-natural hippie-dippy products, look no further than Rainbow Bridge. They have a great selection of natural shampoo, soap, cleaning products, etc., in addition to delicious and healthy food. It can be a bit pricey, but you get what you pay for in terms of quality, and they do have some excellent high quality products. read more

It's wonderful to have a local health food store. They're great about ordering something if they don't have it. What I don't like: The food counter--really really not helpful or bright or informed. Search the ingredients and you will find the soup base with excitotoxins, not so healthy, using a mix imported from the Midwest or South... NOT local. So beware. Also opt for in-house baked goods and sweets, pass on the junk like Debbie's that they import. read more

Way to go, Rainbow. I went in for my 'usual' sandwich...egg salad, no sprouts, with bread of my choice and was told, "We no longer make fresh but you could choose a ready-made egg salad below in the cooler". I walked out and will not return. Already dismayed by this store's exorbitant prices, this just sealed it for me. As a local, I will not return. read more

Great health food store downtown. Good hot bar, breakfast offerings and smoothies. Friendly staff.

Very good selection and very friendly people. It's really the only place for health food items in the town so why not go there?

Great place to grab a quick breakfast. I got a really good oatmeal pancake, a turkey sausage link, bowl of oatmeal, eggs and a quart of milk all for $9. What a healthy meal and good value. My only concern was that they only had a few eggs left and they refused to make more. After I made my purchase, lady behind me also wanted scrambled eggs and they said no as well. That doesn't make sense. read more

I shop at rainbow bridge out of necessity for natural food here in Ojai- but I find this store to be disappointing because of their high prices and sometimes sad selection of produce. I continue out of necessity to stop in from time to time for specific items. so 3 stars... But outside of the Ojai valley you will find better... read more

I wish I lived in Ojai because I love this local market so much! They have everything you can think of! Their Vitamin and Supplement department is amazing as well as their skin care department. The deli is by far one of the best I have ever had!!! The nut spreads are delicious!!!!! read more

I'm one of those people that always picks the generic red/cherry flavor of anything, jolly rancher, sucker, icee...pretty much anything. However, Rainbow Bridge offers an orange flavored smoothie that could drop kick any red/cherry flavored treat off of a bridge. read more

Has everything you need in Ojai to eat healthy and feel amazing - nourish your body from the inside out + fuel your vitality with their nutrient dense whole foods that are all organic. read more

Everytime we visit a new town we always love to check out the local organic markets. This was one of our favorites! A great selection of everything you could want out of a market and a fantastic prepared foods, deli, and smoothie bar. There was always a few delicious vegan options to choose from at the hot bar. The ayurveda dahl was one of our favorites. A great bulk foods selection. And the Rainbow Bridge store adjacent also had great bulk foods along with an extensive book selection, home goods, gardening products, and mystical accessories of all sorts! read more

Great selection for a healthy market with a decent deli but it's definitely not a restaurant.

Rainbow Bridge is really handy to downtown Ojai, and local Carrowphobes like it a lot. I find it overpriced in many departments, but you can find some reasonably priced items if you search carefully. Try meeting friends here in the morning for oatmeal, the best thing in the store. You can usually find a place to park in the lot next door. RB also has one of the largest selections of vitamins I've seen, with good specials. Organic? That's an anagram of 'rig a con.' Be prepared to get ripped off anywhere you buy "organic produce.". read more

Wonderful assortment of local produce, health foods, supplies & beauty products - plus a deli.

Too bad that you cannot give a zero in here... I came to the cafe of the store to buy sandwiches, seeing that we really love health food. Not only is the food there really *not healthy*, with the default of most the sandwiches being with white bread and mayo, but more importantly - the service there is **horrible**. I struggled hard trying to make the seller agree to make me a decent sandwich (basically meaning whole wheat bread and no mayo), and was very offended hearing the waiter making fun of me with his friend *in my face*. In the end the sandwiches were a bit less than decent, and *not* cheap at all. I came out thinking maybe this is the service you get in such a small town, but luckily we tried the sandwiches at The Coffee Roasting Co the next day (see our review) which fixed my opinion about Ojai. read more

I love this store. Thank God we have Rainbow Bridge in Ojai. In fact Rainbow bridge is one of the main reasons we moved to Ojai. This all natural food store is a great place to get everything you need in organic foods. Their deli food shop is open for breakfast, lunch and dinner and features all kind of organic yummy foods + fresh juices. This a must stop for Ojai!!! Trent read more

Every Whole Foods wishes it were as authentic and lovely as this natural foods store, where I bought all of my groceries for a recent Ojai trip. Fantastic selection and a nice deli/take out area. For all of your organic foods needs right in downtown Ojai. Fantastic! read more

Small selection, friendly people, ok prices. When in Ojai ... great for picking up a few things.

Rainbow Bridge is the kind of gourmet, health food market you would expect to find in Ojai. They have all the vegan brands I was looking for, and the premade food is decent. read more

While in Ojai, I was walking by this store on my way to Rainbow Grocery. The window display looked interesting so I walked in to check it out. Bought some bulk granola items, and finally realized this is an extension of the Rainbow Grocery market a couple of doors down. They have all sorts of items and the displays are very appealing. Suggest you check it out when in the area. I'll be back! read more

Likes: curry lentil soup was really good, and the mexican bowl salad portion was huge. the store reminds me of whole foods or sprouts because of the organic and health-conscious foods read more

Shopped at Rainbow Bridge a few times while visiting Ojai for our vegan necessities. Was happy to see that they carry brands like Beyond Meat, Daiya and Yves and offered some tasty vegan items in their deli case like the vegan potato salad and the tabouli salad. The store was well stocked and seemed to have a great selection of everything! read more

We stopped here before heading to the farmers market. I could spend all day in this market so much good stuff, the deli case has great sandwiches and salads and staff is really friendly. read more

We always eat lunch here when we come to Ojai. The prices are reasonable, the food is excellent and they say most of the ingredients are organic. On our recent visit I got the avocado veggie sandwich, wife got a broccoli dish and the kids enjoyed a smoothie. All were delicious. The vegan chickpea wrap is also very good. The actual market itself is very overpriced, like twice what you'd pay anywhere else, but overall still love this place. read more

We stopped in for a little quick dessert and coffee and found so much more! What a great market in such a great central spot! The employee's also were great and joked with us and made us feel like we have been customer's forever! read more

Has a good selection of organic foods of all type. Staff is not helpful or knowledgeable, so you're on your own.

I love the sandwiches here there so good, they have a natural vitamin store there to next door, the service is okay
