Healthy Life is a chain of franchises that stock nutritional supplements and health products. I…read morethink this is an especially good store for the layout, the wide range of stock and the service. There is often a naturopath in-store to assist you in choosing the best product for your particular need. I appreciate this as sometimes it seems the health shop staff have less of a clue than I do. It's not always the cheapest place, but for the range and advice available, it's usually worth the few extra bucks. In a nutshell - one stop health shop!

Healthy Life is here for all of your vitamin and supplement needs but beside that it has amazing…read morecustomer service. In this sort of health industry where there are so many products that come out everyday, most of which you have no idea what they do, a helping and professional hand is much needed. First of all in terms of stock and products the store rates well. There is a full range of brand named vitamins and minerals and way more of a variety than those you would find at the supermarket. There is a gluten free range for those allergic and different sections for muscle building products, speciality teas and mueslis, oat meals and brans. The thing I loved is the organic soaps which at only $1.30 is a bargain and they have really yummy flavours which are made from Palm Oil that is not collected from rainforests that destroy the habitat of endangered animals. Why how nice.

Happy Herbs. Now, I know what you're thinking. And I really don't know. I didn't ask. But I DO know…read morethat they have a range of OTHER herbs for sale (all of which are presumably legal). And yes, you can smoke them. And yes, they make you feel things. So, I can't see the different between legal smoking herbs and illegal smoking herbs. But then, maybe I oughtn't use my eyes for the differentiation. Not all the herbs for sale are for smoking, though. Some are for rubbing on the skin, other are for direct ingestion, and other are for smelling. There are health and performance boosters and aphrodisiacs too. But what caught my eye, because I lucked out with an awesome star sign, was the zodiac sticks of incense. As I was ready the astrological description on the front of the packet and discovering how awesome I am, a throng of teenagers entered the store. The young, beautiful lady behind the counter handled them with - as Hemingway would put it - grace under pressure. The teenagers were asking her about certain herbs, which she assured them they were too young to buy. Then they began asking if there was anything that could make their 'dicks bigger'. Now, maybe they engineer teenagers differently these days, but a few years ago I wasn't going around heartily declaring my anatomy needed any sort of modification. I assured everyone I met that it was of a very generous proportion. And my friends did the same. Whether it was true or not. Regardless, she didn't buckle under the pressure and that, I think, is to be commended.

I love anything that spreads happiness so I dived into this shop as soon as it opened, a little bit…read moreconcerned that it was a front for a marijuana den. As I entered the shop I was delighted to find a hippy manning the store, complete with dreads and guitar in hand. He was certainly very happy and chilled ( I am guessing he isn't averse to smoking a few of the less legal variety of "happy herbs".) The shop has a vast array of medicinal herbs in packets displayed on the walls. Most of the herbs I was told are grown locally if possible. The packets of herbs give good information on what the herb is good for treating or preventing. I came out with a treasure trove of leaves to boil up for different ailments. It is enlightening to see the herbs that are usually hidden in tablets in their natural (although dried) state. So if you want to find a tea to brew for sugar cravings or to help your immune system etc wander in and have a look around.

Very happy with the service and the range, good value too.read more

The coffee was great, quite robust but creamy to offset, and my croissant warmed & tasty. It seems to be a favourite for mums with babies so they must be accommodating with requests. The staff didn't seem very happy but I guess it's hard to always be joyful. 4 stars.

Caruso's Fresh Foods on Jetty Road at Glenelg is much more than just a greengrocer. While they…read morestock ample supplies of all the best quality fruit and vegetables sourced daily from the Adelaide Produce Markets, they also carry a range of other foods making them a one stop shop - more like a mini market than just a fruit and veg shop. As well as your fresh produce you can also pick up cold meats and smallgoods, fresh dips and pates, a myriad of Olive varieties, quiches and ready made salads. I personally love their Arrancini which are like risotto balls in a 'to die for' Bolognese sause. Oils ain't oils anymore with what they have on offer at Caruso's in the oil department. You can get your hands on brands and varieties including Pendleton Estate, Lucia's Fine Foods, Maroudas olive oils, Brookfarm Macadamia oil, Jamie Oliver's Avocado Oil, Rice Bran Oil and Azalea Grapeseed oil. There's also a range of coffees, teas and (my personal favourite) chocolates in the store. Caruso's is located about half way down Jetty Road and are directly opposite the end of Waterloo Street.

It isn't the cheapest place to shop but the quality and selection is second to none. It is also very convenient as it has one of the best continental deli sections in the area. This section is headed up by Julie who remembers the names of the regulars and enjoys a chat with them as she slices the meats. They have a wide selection of hams and their short cut bacon is a hit in my family. I love the fact that you can cook a whole meal from this one place without having to venture into a cold impersonal supermarket. You can buy specialty bread, milk, eggs, a variety of cheeses and pasta to go. As a regular, all the staff turn to say hello as I glide past with my trolley. At the checkout, if you are ever there say hello to Ollie, she has been there for years and is good value, always reminding me to get my loyalty card out when I forget. Her till is the one closest to the wall. Tip: If you are buying lots of groceries and your car is a distance away, the lovely staff will help carry your bags to your car door!
