I'm leaving another review to point out the fact that The Vitamin Shoppe leaves automated responses on one star reviews to appear as though they care. There is NO way to respond to them inquiring on how they can contact customers. If you try to call this location there's a busy signal and if they really wanted to get in contact with unsatisfied customers, they would just message the person directly on yelp like other businesses do. I don't shop at this location anymore as a result of all the unnecessary confusion, read more

The Vitamin Shoppe - Listed hours that they don't honor. - Vitamins & Supplements Near Me - Pinole, California

When I walked in, an employee greeted me and asked if I needed help which I did. When I mentioned what I was looking for, he walked me right over to the item and mentioned it was on sale!!! And the sale was a good one. I walked out within five minutes of entering the store. And I saved 50% on my purchase read more

The Vitamin Shoppe caters to all my vitamin and health supplements needs . They are pretty well stocked and I usually find what I am looking for every time . I prefer it to GNC! read more

I had a good experience here looking for protein powder Duane and Ariana were both helpful. They had great deals and return policy is great! Ariana reassured me that if I didn't like the flavor I picked, Strawberry Banana which tasted like Pepto-Bismol .. I could exchange it and I did for Fruity Cereal - Body Tech Whey Protein Isolate. Helped and exchange with no problem. Thanks you guys, I'll definitely be back! read more

Friendly, helpful and informational staff. They also have great deals all the time. I came in to find some fish oil and some multivitamins. There's so much to choose from that I needed help. It's a little hidden as it's easily to miss but plenty of parking right in front of the store. read more

I appreciate how personable the service can be. The folks here are very knowledgeable about vitamins and supplements. read more

The Vitamin Shoppe - Vitamins & Supplements Near Me - Pinole, California

Wasn't greeted when I walked in. I walked around looking for Inositol and no one asked if I needed help when there were two people standing at the register. I'm pretty sure one was even the manager because of the way the employee was speaking to her. A bit peeved because a simple "hello" could've gone a long way. I did eventually find what I was looking for. When we left the cashier finally acknowledged me and told me to have a nice day. Overall the initial interaction could've been better, but I found what I needed without any help. read more

I shouldn't even YELP about this place because I'd rather keep it a secret. But this place is great. You know how items are cheaper online i.e. Amazon, eBay, etc. but then you don't want to order and have to wait for shipment? Whey Proteins. That's what I wanted and I got it here for much cheaper than what a place like GNC was selling it for. Like Bill said as well, the store was big and the staff was helpful plus it was pleasantly quiet. These are the qualities I would like in a store whenever I go shopping publicly. I really liked the variety this place had to offer as well. And when I was at the register the guy was cool enough to offer me future recommendations, a free membership to the store and provide free fitness magazines with my purchase. Great customer service, convenience, and PRICES PRICES PRICES. You're welcome! lol read more

I switch off from here and GNC. I find The Vitamin Shoppe to be a tad cheaper than GNC on certain products. Make sure to check The Vitamin Shoppe website before coming in. A lot of times their prices on the web are cheaper than whats priced in the store. I'm not sure how knowledgeable the staff is because I know what I'm going to purchase before I come in. The store is clean, spacious to shop comfortably, and the staff is friendly. read more

The people in this store are sooooooooooo helpful and knowlegable. My rewards points rack each year because I am such a regular at this store. Tip: If you watch Dr. Oz, and there is a item he recommends, you should go to the store fast and get it because they sell out of the item fast! This store is just that awesome. The variety of products is very satisfactory. Better than GNC. Sorry GNC, but Vitamin Shoppe has you beat. Also, there is always a good sale when I walk in. Another Tip: The vitamin shoppe brand items are just a good as the vendor brands, if not, better than the name brands. read more

Gem! Gem! Total Gem! My word. This place is Amazing! I was so used to going to the whoefoods store on San Pablo but got a bit tired of the prices of items I needed outside of food stuffs. The staff is great and very educated wen it comes to health. They carry EVERYTHING here. Got my mangosteen an açai juice, my Raw Meal shakes, coconut oil and a few extra snacks... Love those Gogi berries. Was very tempted to buy up the store because everything looked so great and the prices are awesome. A large variety of high quality items, with a peaceful atmosphere to look at it all. My only personal negative is that I been sleepin on this place for too long and it took me till now to go. So I now bid GNC adieu. :-) read more

Update! Took the "out of date 10/2013, bottle of Inf-Zyme Forte back to the VS... Explained the situation.... they looked at the back of the bottle, went to get a newer bottle and they were surprised by the results. The returned bottle showed the "Mfg 2013" date, the newer bottle just had numbers and a date 4/15. Since the bottle is almost $50, I was expecting some sort of resistance from them. But nope! They exchanged the bottle and off I went. Thank you Vitamin Shoppe. I will be back! read more

I have come here many times but never wrote a review. I was on the search for chewable prenatal vitamins with DHA. Just my luck, they had them and they were on sale! I was taking the Nature Made brand pills, but they were making me sick. I had the same issue with my first pregnancy. The salesperson was very helpful, informative & friendly. I also picked up some daily multivitamins for my 5 year old. I was looking through their selection & will definitely be going back read more

Only supplement store I shop at in person. The whole team knows there product information and will help me try something new or suggest a better option. I only come back because of the knowledge and family atmosphere that the team provides. read more

Unlike some of the other posters here, I did not encounter any knowledgeable staff; in fact, there was only one clerk to choose from, and he had three customers trying to check out. So in this respect, they were quite similar to GNC. Next, a yeast based $50.- 'Probiotic' inventory WAS NOT on their refrigerator shelf... this is in spite of them storing psudo-healthy soft drinks, and pints of oil in refrigeration. The product stated clearly on the label: best stored in refrigerator, never allow above 77F. (And this is Pinole, after weather of 90+ temperatures... but yes, it's a nicely air conditioned store... during customer hours). Their prices are less than GNC's, and if you CHECK THEIR WEBSITE FIRST, you will find they will be happy to match those prices, some of which are competitive even among the web outlets! read more

Today was my forth time going to the vitamin shop The staff is really nice up until today there was a lady today that was nice and helpful but a male staff came in told me I had to leave my backpack behind the counter because that was their policy He told me up or I can leave it in my car I am legally blind with a White cane so I took my purse out and gave it to him but then I thought if I had a purse he wouldn't tell me to put the back behind the counter so I was right behind him got my backpack and told them I was leaving without buying anything I thought that was discriminating because I walk and take the bus is the only reason I carry a backpack needless to say I'll never go back read more

I love this Vitamin Shoppe location. Folks here are super friendly, nice and know where everything is. This is my go to location to get my Quest Bar fix and protein stuff. I'm always looking for healthy recipes on pinterest and found cacao nibs and raw honey to make protein balls. I also like how the store is spaced out, nicely lit and very welcoming. Vitamin shoppe also has a great rewards program, always have specials and prices are low compared to other health stores. read more

Very knowledgeable staff and friendly customer service. Any time my clients have questions regarding supplements I make sure to send them to Linh and Kyle. read more

It's the only vitamin shoppe in the area and for that I will give you 5 stars. I usually do my ordering of supplements and misc items online, but sometimes vitamin shoppe has specials and prices that would equate to that of online stores with shipping thrown into the equation. Vitamin Shoppe definitely gets my vote over GNC any day in every aspect. They carry everything GNC does (besides GNC brand), its cheaper, has more selection (so obviously bigger), and higher quality products in my opinion. Besides, if you are like me and impatient, like things here and now, fail to plan ahead and order things before you run out... then vitamin shoppe is perfect. Also, they usually have a clearance table where you can find some good usable stuff that is there because it might be expiring within a month or two. I would venture to say that most supplements are still usable even after the expected shelf life of the product. For 50%-75% off I am willing to give almost anything a second look. read more

Love coming here! Staff is friendly, place is clean. I like that the staff actually knows what the hell they're recommending to you.
