I was so sad to see Nature’s Pantry get sold. We knew the owners and loved them. After giving Natural Grocers a chance I am pleased to say they do a great job!! We partner with them with our race company and they provide great stuff for our runners. Also this location is perfectly located next to Little Blue Trace Trail. The parking lot is big and easy to get in and out of even when it’s busy.
Great health food store! They have lots of things I want and need at very good prices. The very helpful friendly staff makes the place an excellent experience as I really enjoy shopping here.
I love this place. So many reasons to love this place. The people are great, the produce is pesticide free, there is a nature trail right behind the store and its right by a QT. If you are into mountain bikes this is your store.
Friendly staff willing to help you with your needs. Clean store, great produce selection. Everything is Organic. Family owned. Love the discounted eggs at $1.99 when you sign up for free loyalty program
Great stocked variety of non GMO organic foods & supplements. Way too many grungy people not wearing masks or practicing social distancing protocols. Management is very customer friendly, helpful & professional.
Lots of great things. The sales help is great. Small fresh produce department. You will want to stay awhile.
Absolutely love this place. The employees are very helpful and even if they dont have exactly what your looking they will help you find an alternative product or another business where you can get what your looking for. Highly recommend.
Hey, I was really excited to see the apple cider prebiotic. So many flavors I got the grape. And Ill try to update this when I open it. $2.25 a bottleUpdate... I opened it this morning and it was not bad at all, you can barley taste the vinegar, one bottle is a 2 day serving. Half bottle per day.
Easily my favorite grocery store. Healthy options and great pet food selection.
Knowledgable employee. Able to find odd item looking for.
I went in for three things. One of them was tortillas, the fridge was out of stock. Fair enough. I went to look for beef jerky and the brand I wanted, every single variety, was expired. Im talking expired in January and March, its July. I walked around the store twice trying to find someone to help and ran into a cashier also running around the store trying to find someone else to help him with question while his customer waited at the register. He was the only one in the store on the floor. After ten minutes of waiting and looking I gave up because what the hell lol. Absolutely terrible.
Im a big believer in natural medicine and I (and my family) have benefited greatly from many of the products Ive bought from Natural Grocers. Colloidal silver and grapefruit seed extract are staples in my home. These items have healed many everyday ailments. I LOVE this place!
The 3-day sale was not as expected. 1/3 of the items were not available. Workers are always courtesy.
Love coming here! Clean and friendly
This store doesnt check people for face masks. A couple came in without face masks. When I asked an employee why she didnt know. There are signs on the front door saying everyone has to wear them. Also, Ive supposedly been a rewards member for a few years but have never gotten a reward. Ive expressed my concern about this many times but they never seem to care.Their prices are too high. We used to buy a lot here but there is a new rule that only one item per receipt can be returned. I have all kinds of allergies. That rule doesnt work for nor is it fair to me. We dont buy much here anymore.
Pleasant, helpful staff. Good selection, surprisingly broad for a store its size. Huge variety of supplements!!! I will definitely be back.
I have had some problems with the produce recently and they dont seem to be keeping the supplements stocked as well. I have noticed a lot of turnover in the workers perhaps that is why.
Helped me find what I needed quickly.
Great healthy food selection and very friendly staff. The produce is al organic and very good quality.
Friendly staff. great products. limiy4d crowds. they are one of the citys greatest.
Good place to shop for one or two items.. High prices and customer service could be better!
In spite of the name change, I still think of this store as Natures Pantry after shopping here for so many years. My husband and I appreciate the variety of healthy options that we arent able to find anywhere else locally. Thank you Natural Grocers!
Nice store with a good selection. Didnt have time to look at everything but they seem to have a nice selection and good prices. Looking forward to going back when I have more time. Hopefully next time the cashier doesnt have a 20 minute conversation about cats with the customer she is checking out. Apparently she couldnt continue scanning products and talking at the same time. Cats are ok but talk about them on your personal time.
Everything l need for a healthy life style, I can always find at this store, and the customer service is wonderful and professional.
Love this store! Love the employees! I’d like everyone of them to be family members! They’re awesome!
Actually a really incredible location with tons of options. I scored some great deals and found products I could no longer find at other health food stores like thunderbird bars. Only complaint was that they had an insanely slow lady at the checkout and a pretty big line formed because of it.
Awesome place to shop for health food products.
IT IS A GOOD PLACE TO BUY NATURAL AND ORGANIC FOOD AND PRODUCTS. IT IS ALWAYS CLEAN AND THE EMPLOYEES ARE VERY FRIENDLY HELPFUL AND KNOWLEDGEABLE ....
Kinda hard to find anyone to help with supplements. Youre kind of on your own in this place
The workers know their stuff. They know where stuff is located. Down side is price. Its expensive, but you do get quality.
Its a good location for me and easy to get in and out of traffic. Laid out well. Good range of options. Clean and open spaces. Only the overt high prices pulls the stars down for the franchise overall.
They have great prices and actual healthy food . I usually go here or sprouts . They are mostly cheaper than sprouts and have good quality and good in-house stuff as well. The staff is the reason I made it 3 stars instead of 5.
I love this store. It has all the unusual things that you need that other stores dont carry. Plus the water dispenser is awesome at 25 cents a gallon!
Very nice store to shop. Clean and wide variety of healthy foods to choose from. Fresh or packaged
They were out of one of the things that I wanted and didnt carry the other thing that I wanted
Good store with great natural options.
Always a good place to go to get anything you need and their staff is very informative about products.
Cool store. Went in looking for non diary milk alternatives. Ended up buying some tomatoes and garlic. Seemed expensive but I pulled the trigger. Freshest most flavorful produce I have had in a minute. Worth the extra cash. Store was clean and fresh smelling. Staff was friendly without being intrusive. Ill be back.
Nice clean place a good variety and the staff was very friendly.
Great place to find produce and a variety of staples (grains, beans, etc.) that cant be found at other grocery stores.
Lots of good stuff...
I come here for all my supplements & vegetables. Ive always had good service. And Ive always found what I needed. But today was out of the ordinary. A young fella named Corey saw that I was deciphering my wifes list & walked me through the store to find each item. I didnt have to ask for help. He volunteered it. And when I was in line to check out he had opened a second check out station to help without being called by the manager.THATS GOOD CUSTOMER SERVICE! We need more like Corey! Keep it up Natural Grocers!
Never been in one before .. they got some pretty good stuff in there
Awful adjustment or return procedure. I was overcharged on 3 items and it took several minutes of standing around to correct. I will look elsewhere as this third time for this annoyance!!!!
No more discounts for orders by the case. I bought three cases of sardines and when I showed up to get them they told me they no longer honor the 10% bulk order discount. They could have told me that when I ordered them.
Political Agendas are not something that should be allowed by employees. One of the cashiers was flying a button on her Apron with a strong political agenda. It would be nice to just be able to go somewhere and get away from the bombardment separating races.
I like the cleanliness of the store. The employees were courteous and helpful.However, I felt overwhelmed and I believe labeling and arranging items in an organizational fashion needs to happen.The lay out of the store could be better.The store is not appealing to the eye when you first walk in. Overall I like that they have so many GREAT products. I give it 4 stars!
The selection at this store is great, prices can be slightly above average, but otherwise its a great store with great customer service.
Very helpful on the phone. Very helpful in the store. They carry the re-charge drink that is essentially the ultimate Gatorade, Great for a sick kiddo. God bless you guys very much and merry Christmas!-Jake the film guy
Natures Grocerys is well maintained and a fair price when you buy items you need on their sale days by planning ahead! And their produce is f r e s h!!! I like to go here for essential oils regularly!
Love the selection and variety of choices they had.
Best place in Independence to get your vitamins also employees very helpful and knowledgeable .
Good, healthy food choices.
I am really glad to have a Natl Grocers in this area. I appreciate the variety of organic foods especially the produce. Also the selection of pet food. My first experience with them was the old Vitamin Cottege in Denver many years ago. The employees are always very helpful and friendly. I find the atmosphere to be relaxing and welcoming. 😊
SIMY THE BEST!!!!
I love this store! I feel blessed having this in our community! 🙏
Has what you need ... store employees are very curtious and helpful.
I dont feel like employees should be able to advertise political agendas. Instead, the company should work on making sure ALL races feel welcome. And no, Im not white. Cooperations should leave political agendas to the politics. I felt like I was being judged by the cashier, even when I asked her how her day was, she was very short with her answer and didnt seem friendly at all.
I do not allow my wife to shop at this store anymore because of the unsafe conditions.
Fantastic shopping experience. Very helpful workers. Cashiers definitely a nice and friendly and absolutely serious about making your shopping experience great. Definitely love this place and will continue to shop there
Love my natural grocery. Great staff, great prices, great service.
I love this place. Great prices, super clean and an amazing selection for vegan/vegetarian products.
Enjoy the organic selection. Fresh produce available in season.
Im very grateful to have an affordable place to buy organic produce. Their prices are wonderful, and you can feel good about eating healthy here. Very clean and well stocked store with friendly workers. Keep up the good work!
Awesome store!! Didnt interact with to many employees but the ones I did were friendly and helpful..nice selection and pricing I just joined might be my new store while Im in town..
Clean, people were very nice.
Natural Grocers is an immense blessing to our family. Natural Grocers, previously Natures Pantry consists of organic fruits and vegetables, friendly employees, and high quality food at great prices. Highly recommend Natural Grocers to all friends and family. 🙂
Place seems unorganized, like items are together, but aisles go in weird angles and directions. Visually unappealing. Staff was great at helping me find what I needed. Prices were reasonable.
They always have what I am looking for. I was in a hurry and couldnt shop. I will return!
I cannot say enough about how amazing the service, options and prices are. Some prices on certain items are not lower, so do your research. Vegan options are outstanding. Customer service is unmatched, really, they are amazing!!!!!Produce section is small this time of year (Feb in MO) but I still found Meyer Lemon, Parsnips, Rainbow Chard, 3 varieties of Sweet Potatoes, Rutabagas, and 3 varieties of Kale & any herb.No other grocery store in the area can top that.Vitamin/supplement section is GNC on steroidsThey have natural/organic toiletries as well - even toilet paper.The most impressive part was customer serviceBring your own bag, although they provide boxes from their shipments. Love they reuse
Clean& checked out fast
They had everything I was after and the employees were very friendly and helpful.
Wonderful place to shop....so helpful for what everyone wants!
As Natures Pantry, this was such a great place with excellent sales and options. Now, currently operating as Natural Grocers... Theres a stuffy/stale air to the environment; its clear that corporate mentality has won over this business, unfortunately. While some staffers remain from the beloved NP days, they do not appear as happy with their surroundings and new staffers are just all around unfriendly.I used to shop very regularly at this place, Im talking three sometimes four days a week I would be there shopping and spending money to support this business, and now, they are lucky to see me twice a month. I have been treated poorly consistently by all new staff members (including management) who were not a part of the Natures Pantry team, and, admittedly, that has resulted in a serious decline for my visits there.Options are generally aplenty, because healthy eating and healthy options are a major market commodity right now.. Natural Grocers hasnt hesitated to pick up a lot of these brands, so theres lots of choices. Sales can be hit or miss, so you just really never know unless you visit the site before visiting.They do have a tendency to have sales on expired or close to expiring food, but it is generally still way too high to pay for old food. The best deal they have going is the $2 produce bags, as there are plenty times that you can rack up something great, say 6 cucumbers for $2. Not a bad deal!
Very knowledgeable people to help with whatever youre looking for. Usually have alternatives for healthier groceries, etc. More expensive than typical grocery stores. Dont have as much selection in produce as I usually associate with natural stores and sometimes dont look as good as the organic produce in local grocery stores.
Everyone always willing to help their shelves never empty.
All my oils and herbs in one store
Worst commericals ever! Please stop! Hire a agency to do your commericals. Those ladies are sicking. Please stop. Would never shop there. Hear they sell mold on their veggies. Natural I guess.
Natural Grocers is one of the best stores in the K.C. Metro area for healthy food, vitamins, cleaners and HBA. One of my absolute all time favorite stores. The selection and service from the incrediable staff cannot be beat. Some items are a little pricey (meat/paper products) if they dont have it, you probably dont need it. Like a really small town grocer 😁❤
My first visit to the store was a good one. I was not in for food though. Looking for vitamins and toothpaste. I have a hard time finding the toothpaste we like and they carried it and many other options. The store was clean and the workers were very helpful. While there were not tons of options, I saw many amazing and interesting products.
Love this store. The best people working there. It is a very well ran store. Affordable healthy food options. My kids love the fruit I buy there for them.
What a said grocery store. It doesnt compare to the Natural Grocers in Overland Park. Small, dark and poor layout. Ill shop elsewhere.
Everyone is so nice and helpful. The store is very clean amd has such a wide variety of items. We happily do the majority of our shopping here.
Its a very relaxing place to shop for health conscious people.
Great place 👌
Really great selection. Was slightly overwhelming at first but after a few visits the anxiety is gone and I feel comfortable spending long periods of time on each aisle reading labels.The employees are always willing to help but dont pressure you!
I dont get to come here very often. Since they changed to New Management Ive gotten used to not having Chobani yogurt as an option. If they have changed that since then I will give them 6 Stars💹. Do you still have a section on produce that is usable but maybe slightly less desirable in appearance? I didnt see one last time. I did enjoy it that about the prior management decision. Cashiers were very friendly and cordial. Hope I can come back soon. My health issues and the fact that I dont drive enter into transportation here.
Friendly,Helpful Staff
Went here looking for star anise when I could not find them at any of the large grocery stores in the area. I was pleasantly surprised with this place. Its a nice lil health food store, prices are very affordable and both the products and service were top notch.
Great vitamin selection
Very clean and has everything I need for vegan options.
This place is AWESOME! The staff is friendly, super knowledgeable and helpful. The selection is impressive and well organized, but when you cant find what youre looking for the staff is there and ready to help. I highly recommend!
Decent prices, they do have good sales though. Staff is always very friendly. Sometimes lines can get a little long because they usually only have one cashier. Otherwise great atmosphere.
Great for everything and special order bulk bran and grain buys too.
They have truly run this amazing store into the ground. They have corporatized too much and changed everything since they bought out Natures Pantry, to the extent they have pretty much run me off as a customer. There are only a few things I can find there that I cant anywhere else in the area to keep a little of my business.
Nice place. They have every thing here.
