I don't know if the staff were just having a bad morning or maybe there were customers with bad attitudes before me, but dang. There was no one behind me and I wasn't fully sure what kind my friends would want. I wanted to peruse some. I was in and out in about 5 minutes, but the woman behind the counter seemed bothered that I was asking questions about the muffins like the flavors. The display case doesn't have them listed by the muffins. There's a flavor board behind the counter which is helpful, but it would be better if they were each labeled somewhat so you could see and pick them. I asked 2 questions overall and panicked and just picked 2 other flavors hoping they would be okay, but it wasn't as good of an experience as last month and left me a bit flustered. I'm never expecting over the top super happy, springy first thing in the morning but rolling your eyes and acting exhausted from 2 questions just seemed like a bit much for a happy and bright muffin spot.

The selection is wonderful, especially for the size of the store. You've got a huge display of chocolates, craft beers/wines, crackers, chips, oils, pasta, sauces, you want it, they have it. Besides Robin, everyone else there is also warm and friendly. You feel comfortable walking in, no one turns their nose up. I think the prices are fair, you always get what you pay for. My go to items are Billy Goat Chips and Effie's Homemade corn cakes , absolutely divine. Another great thing is that they'd be happy to look into ordering a product for you, if possible, which I think is excellent for business and will attract more customers. Robin told me that they will be looking into selling cheese and sandwiches in the future, always a plus. I tend to find myself here before I have a party, and we always stock up. Certainly a fabulous boutique store and I highly recommend them. Note: to the review under me. It does take time from a supplier to ship items, they come per week. If you gave them your info, they'd be happy to let you know when it's in. I think knocking off two stars for that is a bit harsh and frankly spoiled

The only reason I actually discovered this place was because I was on the Sweet 'n' Sara vegan marshmallow website, looking for a local place where I could procure these little delicacies (other than Whole Foods). And Green Street Natural Foods popped up. I dropped by one afternoon, mid-week, and was so, so happy with my findings. All sorts of vegetarian specialties (not the least of which was my favorite marshmallow!) and organic produce. Even vitamins! And the dude working there was super nice, super helpful, and made me feel good about shopping there. He even said he'd order Blue Mango veggie burgers, by my request. I'm thrilled that I actually found out about this shop. I will frequent it often, especially in the June-November months, since my CSA pick-up location is nearby. Psyched.

You can also ask for a sample before you're committed. You don't want a jar of store bought tahini? They make fresh by the pound too. My recipe called for a tiny portion so he was cool when I asked for a small dollop. If you want local honey, guess what? They have them here too (regular and darker color). Plenty of CBD gummies, seeds, spices, and groceries at the back of the store. Shop is closed on Sundays. Parking is easy to find. If you are a regular customer, ask for a punch card so you can get a discount after 5-10 purchases.

Very fresh produce.

Great prices for a Mom and Pop health food shop.

I did have to trim off a tiny bit of silverskin off the outside of one of the steaks, but that's generally a good sign that they cut the meat in house. There were five folks behind the counter to help get things out of the case, so that was easy and fast. We also got some local-made roasted pork buns in the frozen area made by Dumpling Daughter, which were also a nice treat. Will probably be back.

I mention every visit that they should put a name tag in front of each muffin to speed up the ordering... I must waste my time and more importantly their time answering my inquires... what is that one , what is that muffin ? Does that have raisins on it ? Nuts? Dog shit in it? or whatever ? Wtf Or why are out of certain muffins ? Any In the back on racks? Put a sign up displaying a simple check mark of available muffins? One visit the nasty one at Winchester told me they were out yet I saw the muffin on a rack not yet ready to put out front? So this was my first visit to this Wakefield location ... same issues and staff nasty here too but a bit better as more mature employee? I ordered 6 muffins and wanted 2 in a separate box as a gift to someone and the other 4 in a different box...she puts the two in a bag... A bag ruins the gift look, damages frosting in muffins... they will not put any less than muffins in a box? I'll pay for the dam extra box? Or maybe a smart owner would have a small 2 muffin box? Asked for Boston cream ... out of them .. same as last visit to Winchester location where they were out of many options... Maybe if popular statistically ... then you bake more of them based on POS sales data ? Maybe seasonality affects the daily production forecasts? Maybe offer July 4th red white blue muffins, Halloween frosting, Thanksgiving? Christmas ? Then generate greater sales, The owner should hire a better manager of both locations and stick a dam name tag in display case for each muffin, train all employees in hospitality and importance to retain repeat customers? Owner probably now just mailing it in or letting the off spring to take or already took over ? Maybe sell just sell it off to a interested owner looking to expand, or Improve offerings , add high end croissants, pastries, quality cookies ... coffee and better options? Whatever... 4 years telling every visit to just put a f'n name tag in front of each muffin-so I don't need to ask.. especially for gluten free, nut free allergies conscience people... how about an ingredients sign for each muffin ?
