I cant believe I didnt know this place existed for so long! It is the best little spot to grab ANYTHING green. They sell so many grains, spices, beans etc. But they also have amazing products like reusable bags, straws, cotton pads, you name it. It is such a fun store. Only terrible thing about them is that they arent open on Sundays which is sooooo annoying since that is the day I like to grocery shop to be ready for the week.
My favorite shop in town! Love being able to reuse my own containers, or if I forget / buy something new they have great options provided without charge. Super reasonably priced for just about everything!
Awesome store that sells eco friendly, use and re use items, plus refillable items such as we soap, makeup, food items (tea, beans and more)The owner is friendly and personable and happy to chat about the items that she carries.You will not find coffee beans here however as there is a store nearby you can get them. She seems to work wth her community so there was no need for crossover.She mentioned willing to do talks and such for groups wanting to learn. Also she was looking into doing a pop up in the summer where they provide food from a local chef. Sounds like some interesting things will be happening here in the future.The store itself is neatly organized with a clean aesthetic.They are open every day except for Monday.There is free Street parking available in the front. Did not notice another parking lot.
If you’re environmentally conscious and want to grocery shop low-waste, this is the store for you!Exist Green has the best variety of grocery store staples in a low-waste setting. Fresh produce, dried goods, beauty products, and reusable items such as metal straws, silicone lids for jars, food containers, etc.Don’t forget to bring your own refillable jars/containers when shopping. The owner Leigh Neary will give you a discount! 🎉 She may have some containers available to use at the store from people who have donated their extras (this may have changed due to COVID).When you arrive, she will sanitize your containers and weigh them (zeroing out the weight of the container). She has a menu readily available at the counter to shop in-stock food items.Our favorites are the mushrooms! We love oyster, king trumpet, and her newest item... CHICKEN OF THE WOODS😍 We made fried chik’n nuggets with them and they were so yummy. In a recent visit, she had a zucchini/butternut squash hybrid in-store and we made a mash with it as a side with our nugs.Leigh is very friendly and truly cares about her small business. She is honest and very knowledgeable about what she sells. We have been customers since November 2019 and will continue to support this small business❤️
I visited “Exist Green” on a road trip traveling from Chicago. It was a very clean and welcoming atmosphere. The products were ones I wasn’t used to, I was assisted by one of the staff members and she explained the purpose of the products and also noted that this is a step by step journey. It has resonated with us and we are thankful. Try the reusable dish towels!
Its pretty eye opening how many green alternatives there are to the normal stuff I buy. The owner was really friendly and helpful. Ill definitely be back!
Awesome store. Great produce and seasonal selection. Zero waste makes this my favorite store.
Very nice shop. Great way to support local and get everything natural and unprocessed
The reason Exist Green is perhaps the best shop in Omaha is because it provides opportunities for its patrons to think creatively about how to live more sustainably. This has improved my quality of life because it feels better to consider the impact of my consumption, and I save money in the long run. The staff is very friendly, and the products are high-quality and reasonably-priced.
Great selection and zero waste. I love this store!!
The ladies that work/own this store are FANTASTIC! They have all sorts of items I want.
I loved this place! I love the zero waste concept and the employees are so nice! Very clean inside and well taken care of! Tons of great products!
Great star everyone should check this out Im definitely going back!
Small changes make big impacts when more people do them. This store helps with ideas and products to start making small changes and protect our environment.
So many great products in this store and all sustainable and eco-friendly with 0 plastic in sight! Food products, beauty products, and tons of DIY options. Super friendly staff who answered all of my questions. I am just so happy to have a store like this so close. They make it super easy to take personal steps to live a greener life!
One day these types of stores will be everywhere, but for now, theyre a one-of-a-kind gem that fulfills an urgent need in Omaha.
This place is awesome!! all sorts of things to make every day more environmentally conscious than the last!
Leading edge green concept in Omaha + great product = I will shop here frequently
Wonderful store...we bought sour kraut, squash, onions, hand lotion... will go again soon.
