You can always find a ton of products in here that are better priced then other health food stores. Staff are always lovely. I stop in here all the time even when I don't need anything. They have everything from fresh veggies, to dairy (and vegan dairy), meats (and vegan meats), drinks, snacks, oils, bulk pantry items, household cleaning and toiletries, and a large supplement section. It's amazing that they can fit all of this in one seemingly small store!

A natural way to promote more hair growth? I'm down to try. I am amazed this little store in Kensington has so many essential to trendy natural products at such reasonable prices. You'll find anything from natural deodorant to vegan nail polish, essential oils, natural beauty products, cleaning supplies, and a grocery at the back. Wow! I can see why they are so busy. It can be tricky to find things you need through all the aisles of products, but the staff knows where everything is when you ask. Purchased Neem oil 100ml (Unbranded) $5.99 Rosemary oil organic 30ml (Now brand) $17.99 Their Dr. Bronner's Castile soap is a great price compared to buying online through Amazon. It's always a great bonus to save money while supporting local.

This is a small store but has many items you won't find anywhere else without a substantial transit. Were you going to Rowe Farms all the way west near Riverdale for 'ethical meat'? Well they got some here. Were you going all the way up to west Danforth for some organic goods (or that aspartame-free, xylytol gum)? Well they got some here (and 4 flavors of gum). They have a reasonable selection of bulk bins at the back of the store, and the owners seem nice (it's a new store, still honeymoon, we'll see in a few months if they're not bitter and jaded...) Main complaint is that it's small and necessarily has limited selections, but for a small store of this nature: 4 stars.

It doesn't matter if you're trying to avoid meat, or avoid dairy, or just find some really tasty treats that you didn't expect otherwise. There are prepared meals, frozen meals, and snacks and treats. I'd never seen dairy-free strup waffles before, but here they are. And, the location really is fantastic. It's a great way to start or end an adventure with a full and happy tummy.

You can buy the same brand milk at Sobeys for $4.29. Outside of buying fresh food in bowl (rarely fresh unless you come in the morning) there is no reason for shopping at this store.

I have been a customer for over 50 years and plan on being one for another 50 years God's willing. The prices compared to many other places are amazing.
