This vitamin shop is very well organized with labels of each type of health concern and wellness on top of the shelf so it was somewhat easy for me to navigate. But I still had a hard time looking for multivitamins by Solaray. So I had to resort to the staff member to guide me. She took me to the corner of the store and I saw a big 120 pill bottle by Solary multivitamin for unisex. I was in awe that it was that big of a size. Never saw that from Solaray so I quickly told the staff to grab it down for me since it was located high up on the shelf. It was the only last bottle left. It got propolis, bee pollen, and spirulina so that got me hooked! One bad thing about this store is that the supplements sit high up on the shelves so it's a disadvantage for short people. You need to ask for assistance to get the supplement off of the shelf that is very high for short people. Store looks old fashioned and not that modern looking. Very bright lights and refrigerators look old but they have a lot of vitamins and supplements. read more

The Vitamin Shoppe - Vitamins & Supplements Near Me - Forest Hills, New York

Bad experience. Ordered two things online, for pickup. Supposedly both were in stock. Manager calls me, says that only one item is actually in stock, and "what we can do for you" is to "let" you pick out other items of "equal or lesser value" instead. Great. He doesn't have what I want, but his idea of a big accommodation is to keep my money and "let" me have things that I don't want, and hey, if they are of "lesser value" that's perfectly fine. Gee, thanks. That's not the bad part. I told him to cancel the order. He said that he would. I thought that we were done. Nope. Moments later I received confirmation that the one item that they did have was "ready for pickup", and I was sent a receipt for I was being charged. Called the store. Same manager proceeded to talk over me and attempt to bully me. I told him that I was filing a chargeback, and I will, if that charge goes through. I'm only writing this review because the same manager was a jerk not once, but two different times. I hate dealing with people like this, and I shouldn't have to. Neither should you. Please shop elsewhere. read more

I think this location is missing many items compare to other locations. store friendly, and it's Quite big at this location. in front of the subway station as well as across from the Chase bank. it's very easy to find. However, I still recommend you to go to other locations cuz many products are missing. I needed to go to other vitamin store to get what I needed. read more

The selection here is good. It's located conveniently on the corner off Queens blvd. Upon entering you're greeted by staff that will assist if need be. There is a young gentleman there who is very helpful and knowledgeable about the products. He was able to help me with everything I was looking for and if I wasn't sure he showed me alternatives. I'm glad that I can come here and get my answers questioned and help me with any concerns that I have. The place is clean and easy to locate stuff because each section is labeled. read more

Customer service here is 50/50. Half the time, you have these really almost jaded women but that also often look down on you and as if they don't want to attend to you as a customer. I was looking for a particular item but was not in the store selections. But because last time it was one of the few times I had a good experience, the woman working, helped placed an order and said it was free delivery to the store. I was happy to try that again this time. 1. Two women at the register, two people on line. One woman saw me and kept looking up at me, and ignored me, then walked away from the register, but helped a man. 2. Second woman was having a difficult time with placing my order or something. Then became very frustrated and appeared to unprofessionally take it out on me. She spoke to me in a annoyed and sharp tone to which I had to say, "hey don't take out your frustration on me, you're the one having trouble and it's the system, not my fault." She didn't even apologize just chuckled and said, "it's not allowing me to..." then stopped mid sentence and trailed off. She kept going from one computer to the next. To which bc of her annoyed and frustrated attitude and bc I had to go, I said, "hey actually going to another area where there is another store, maybe I can see if it's there." She said she'd check for me before I go. I said it's not necessary bc I'm going there. She dismissed me and proceeded to check and said they don't have it. I said but I can maybe place the order there and have it delivered to their store where I was at. She answered, "there's one in Rego Park, I was like huh? So confused by her response. But I said "oh okay there's one in Rego Park Mall?" Maybe I go another day there, then." And when I asked exactly where it was, she looked almost as if she had spoken too soon or something and just looked past me and just said, " in the Mall". It was so weird. She continued fussing with the computer and said it's asking me for my delivery address. I'm like why my delivery address, if she's placing order for store pickup? I said it's okay, I have to go and I'll check the other store. She actually seemed annoyed that I preferred her to stop stressing about it. I even said I can come back tomorrow in case it's a system glitch. And she huffed and puffed. But I said, I just want to make it easier for you, I'll go to the other store. Thanks anyway. And left. You know they stayed talking. Such a weird encounter and experience. Honestly the vitamin and items selection there is slim anyway, and I feel GNC is still more trust worthy and with the value for items. read more

Service: Friendly staff. Never have had anyone rude or short with me. They answer questions to the best of their ability, and of course, doing research beforehand will make your experience smoother. If they don't have something in stock, you can buy it online in store. Store: Brightly lit. Designed to allow you to comfortably shop. They carry multiple brands, and their proprietary Vitamin Shoppe brand is always at a slightly more affordable price than brand names. Your choice but just know that's an option if price is a concern. They have sales. No complaints with this store. I make it a habit to go every 30-60 days or so to keep up with supplementing for my health! read more

I live in Forest Hills and the Vitamin Shoppe is my place to shop for my vitamins and supplements. I always enjoy seeing the friendly staff greeting me at the door. They are always very helpful, especially Sani and Theresa whom I have known for quite some time. They are all very knowledgeable about products and their recommendations are always right on point. read more

In hopes of locating Zinc 50mg to prevent illness for the remainder of this bitter cold winter, yet to my complete dismayal, there were none avail at this location. Customer service is non-existant as I walked up and down aisles in search for the immune support department. Despite of being a former resident of Forest Hills, this is my first visit to Vitamin Shoppe at this location as it sits on the corner of Queens' Boulevard of Death and 71st Contiental Avenue. read more

The Vitamin Shoppe - Forest Hills, NY - Vitamins & Supplements Near Me - Forest Hills, New York

We have been longstanding customers at the Vitamin Shoppe store in Forest Hills since the time the store opened and overall customers for nearly 30 years. We are very familiar with Theresa Chico and Sunni, these individuals have known us for many years and have treated us with respect and kindness. There have been many other "original employees " that have also treated us well; never having any issues with them. I went to the store on Sunday evening (3/24/24) to purchase supplements for my husband and was subjected to direct discrimination and racial profiling by two employees, Madeline and Kevin. Upon entering the store Kevin proceeded to watch and follow me around the store up and down the aisles. When I finally confronted him, Madeline who stated she was a manager claimed they were scanning the store. At the time there were only two customer: myself and a female caucasian customer in the store. It is quite obvious why they chose me; another case of (SWB) shopping while black. Both employees were rude, disrespectful, and clearly biased. Meanwhile we literally spend thousands of dollars in this store each year (earning gold member status). It is very disheartening to know that this is what some store employees see as acceptable behavior. We now question what the store leadership condones since they both seemed very comfortable with their behaviors. Other customers witnessing what took place confirmed that this is a practice at this store with certain employees, including Madeline. I intend to take this unlawful incident further, reporting the discrimination to the appropriate agencies. I just want others to know to beware and to speak up if this is your experience. Unfortunately, we will no longer patronize this establishment especially with these two individuals being employed there. read more

This is one of the smaller Vitamin Shoppes that I've been to. I didn't really buy anything as I merely browsed at the selection for future consideration. The store associate was approachable and she did come up to ask if we needed any help within the first 15 secs of entering the store. The prices were pretty much what I expected based on what I researched online for certain products ie Coconut Oil. NOTE : This is located at the hustle and bustle of Forest Hills. I'm not sure how their "busy" hours can be but if it is anything like what is previous forementioned, I'd either shop ONLINE or visit a different Vitamin Shoppe (larger or situated in a less crowd area). read more

I love vitamin shoppe. Lots of healthy options offered at good prices. In addition to good prices, there are always sales and specials that help you get the most out of your money. The store is well stocked as organized, the staff are very friendly and knowledgable and there is a huge selection of protein supplements, multivitamins and weight loss supplements to choose from. However, the tea selection is rather small and there are not a lot of options to choose from. read more

I bought peppermint oil. Asked the assistant manager what to dilute it with, he said WATER. How smart is he? Oil and water don't mix. This is the first and last time I enter that Vitamin shoppe. Uninformed and in helpful staff. That was the assistant manager. read more

The staff are very nice and helpful. Prices aren't bad at all and the place is very clean. I like coming here to buy tea and protein shakes. One of the workers noticed I was confused and help me find what I needed in no time! read more

I bought a product by mistake a week ago and left two messages as to what I want to exchange it for. Noone called me back and I hate to have to go there without seeing a living person or to find out whether my product is in stock or not. I like the "NOW" line of supplements but if I don't hear from them I will either buy my supplements in the city at Fairway or get them on line instead. why have an answering machine if noone calls the customer back? read more

If you buy a lot of supplements/herbs then this is the place to go. I work out at NYSC in Forest Hills, and I purchase both supplements and herbs, I have the Vitamin Shoppe card, and at the end of the year they send you credit for purchases, and I got almost $500 worth of products. The only downside is that you have to purchase them all at once, you can't buy some stuff, and then come back and use the rest. But the staff is always helpful and friendly, especially the managers. They all know their stuff and help you make the right decisions. The GNC on Austin St. is good too but they alway read more
