WARNING: if you stop by, you might fall in love with this charming, funky shop! If you asked me what a perfect hole-in-the-wall store would look like for an adventure, I would say OK Natural.Always so fun to step inside to look at their products and sales. The front shop window is eclectic and inviting, but dont be fooled by the size. This seemingly small store has T O N S of products! Great store for any of your specialty supplements/herbs/foods. Staff is very chill and helpful.

This place is awesome! Never had a bad experience. Everyone is always friendly and helpful. Great products. I’ve called several times over the years to ask questions and I always get the help I need. I live in Howard County but drive to Baltimore just for this store. Try them, you won’t be disappointed.

Very cool story with interesting and niche products that you wont find at other stores. They have tons of vegan and locally made products, which makes supporting local businesses super easy. The staff is always really nice, helpful, and knowledgeable. The prices are also surprisingly good.

Great bulk herb selection. A homey feel. Like a flash from the past. Friendly, helpful staff. Great tunes to browse by. I have been shopping there since the 1970’s. Many hidden gems are to be found in the many nooks and crannies of this fine establishment.

Fun little health food store packed with lots of interesting finds that you cant always get anywhere. The staff is friendly & laid back & they play cool eclectic music while you browse.

First time checking this place out, all based on reviews. Cute, quaint, spot.. Only half the staff was nice. The guy with the long hair .....cool. The guy with the short low fade haircut?........ Dismissive!.... E yuck! I wont return!

This place has everything I was looking for. All natural and organic products. I was ordering from Amazon but didn’t want to wait for shipping. I went to this place and they had everything I was looking for plus more. Staff was knowledgeable. I ended up buying sea moss gel with elderberry, apple cider vinegar gummies, black seed oil, and hemp milk. I will be back

Its filled with all sorts of amazing vegan (and lots of non-vegan) organic products at very reasonable prices. Theyre also doing such a great job with social distancing, which I really appreciate. I cant wait to try more of their snacks! So many interesting flavors of organic chips, omg.Also their shop cat 🐈 is so cute!Update: the vegan ice cream is the best Ive ever had. Didnt even know it was possible to make vegan ice cream that good!!!

I recently purchased a two ounce bag of wild crafted sea moss from here, only to discover during preparation, that the sea moss had cat hair in it(they have a furry friend that roams the store). I was thoroughly disgusted and my entire batch of sea moss was ruined...money and time wasted.

Cool small store for the organic/all natural/superfood niche. A bit cramped to make space for all the shelves.Lots of good sales, especially with the usual higher cut prices, small assortment of foods and drinks perfect for anything you’d want for a cheaper cost healthy snack/vegan lunch during your lunch break.Good small assortment of bulk natural superfoods like grains, tea, juice, or even new age stuff like healing stones and traditional medicines depending on their stock.The store cat is old but friendly, will still greet you and let you pet him.

The friendliest staff and a very nice selection of snacks and shelf stable foods for different dietary needs (especially plant-based).Also, I have found my preferred deodorant here for a much better price than the big name health food stores.

Impressive, they have so many speciality products, I was expecting to pay more, but actually their prices are excellent! I saved $4.50 today on Allulose! Super thrilled! My first time visiting, I was in a hurry, I could have spent more time there, so much to look at, they have wall to wall health food and household products!

I love this little grocery store! Even though my wife and I have lived in the area for a while we had not been in this store until recently. Our normal grocery store is Moms in Hampden but since we live in Bolton Hill getting there is a hike.OK Natural Foods is a great stop for odds and ends that come up during the week. This part of town has a dearth of good grocery stores so OK Natural Foods is a bright spot. I much prefer to go here over Eddies or Safeway if I can help it.The staff is always very friendly and they make the experience very nice. The only downsides are that it is quite small so the selections are limited and also I dont believe they sell meat (were not vegetarians). To their credit though, despite the small size, it is surprising how many quality goods they can fit.Their sign says they have been in business for 40 years! I hope they stay around as they provide a great service to the community. I just hope someday they might be able to expand!

This is a very typical small health food store. They definitely dont have everything. Their fresh produce is very limited, for example. Prices are a bit high, but the products are very good quality and there are a lot of items on sale every time Ive been here. Besides that, this store is great! Where else within walking distance can you pick up bulk spices, unpasteurized sauerkraut, and hemp hearts? The vibe here is also very good and the whole store has that delightful, straight from the 70s, crunchy health food store smell.

I love this store so much. The employees are super kind and helpful always. If they don’t have what you need they always give suggestions where to find it. Plus there’s a super friendly cat who talks back to you !

Organic and affordable is not often mentioned in tandem. But the Ok natural food store enables you to simultaneously eat REAL food while not forcefully giving up your savings account(looking at you whole foods on the eastside). All the workers have been super nice. If you are in Mt Vernon you have shop here.

I discovered this store quite by accident and am totally glad I did. There is a great selection of health and wellness items as well as natural juices (which I love) to choose from. This is the only store that I have found in the area that has great tasting seamoss and sorrel. Plus there other items are always fresh. Just wished they opened a bit earlier!

I LOVE THIS PLACE!! This is my go to for ALL my health food and herbal needs. I even get my wash cloth and tooth paste (fluoride free) here! Not to mention they stock Indigenous 360 health products which as made with natural ingredients!! Free herbs for days! The soursop bitter is working wonders okay!! Stop in and check them out!!

I give it 3 stars because it is completely inaccessible! What about our differently-able peeps who want organic, holistic things & want to patronize local businesses? How are they supposed to get in?! Super steep stairs to enter; only one person at a time can be on them. It’s small and packed to the gills, but enough space to maneuver.

I love OK Natural. The staff are always friendly and knowledgeable about their products. I buy personal care products and dry goods here. It is true that the store is small and that there are several stairs involved. Im also pretty confident that if this was an issue for you that you could call them and theyd still be able to help you out.

Its so great having this place nearby- especially because of their wall of spices in the back room. So much cheaper than the grocery store- and they have free jars etc to put them in! Great spot to pick up lunch, very cheap (especially considering quality) compared to nearby chain restaurants. Such a gem, love this place.

Review №32

They had everything I needed. It has been many years since I had been there and needed certain herbs and vegan/vegetarian food & items from their. The prices was right for what I got and the distance from the subway was good for me to walk there. My Bro Kaki took me there during the 1980s and I became a Vegan back then .

They have good prices on bulk goods, like dried beans and bulk spices, and a good selection thereof. Being a small store, their selection of fresh produce is not that good. They have a very friendly cat. Im definitely recommending it.

Great bulk foods, like nooch and lentils!Some of the other items are a little pricier than your usual upscale grocery, but that is the price of shopping local. Some top deals: Dr. Bronners soaps, Hansens Sodas, and bulk granola! Staff are helpful, and know the stock well.Also, make sure to pet the shop cat! He is very friendly.
