They are ALWAYS so nice in here! Especially if you have any questions about herbal remedies, the older dude in the back is AWESOME. The produce is always really good though the prices are a bit more than I’d pay. Also please please never get rid of Rao’s pasta. You’re the only store that carries it now.
I would recommend going to lifesource natural foods before going to natural grocers. Lifesource ismore Family & kid friendly & they give out stickers to kids. Lifesource prices outbeat natural grocers by a landslide & the staff is very friendly.
AMAZING customer service! Super nice and super helpful staff! I was blown away by the helpfulness and just positive, cheerful attitudes - you don’t encounter that a whole lot in retail. I’d totally suggest going here instead of a big box store bc you get great products and it’s just such a great vibe! You’ll leave the store with a good feeling. That never happens when I leave Walmart or Fred Meyers… 5+ ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ and I’m telling everybody and their mother to shop here!
They are always helpful and friendly. Today Diane shared more about some of their programs that didnt know. Check it out, if you havent already.
I know everyone has supper shortage of staff don’t get me wrong. When you’re turned away or sort of deemed prior to asking a question is just off putting. Like trust me they don’t make a lot or treated correctly I was in customer service for 3 years as management, so I know the issues. But I digress they’re was an older lady in front of me before I had my question who asked really sweet surprisingly, and the employe said in sort of snobby but rude way “I’ll go check might be a shortage of product” (granted justification there in the middle of a pandemic still ) and the customer waited and I wanted, then after they were done with the conversation I walked up to the same employee and asked “Do you have so and so product it looks like it shows available on instacart” (Mind you I’m not instacart shopping, just wanting to know if the product was in) She replies really rudely “We never have had that product and never will thanks and sorry” and walked away I don’t know if she hates banana milk I know for sure if she’s even had it she wouldn’t be so rude in the first place. Just felt like completely taken back by the attitude and rudeness she just needs more bananas I guess. :/ probably not coming back if that’s what the staffs like. But I’m not sure
Many 💕 for this store. People very respectful and nice. Thanks for letting customers make their own decisions/choices. Staying positive is important. I live over half on hour away from the store, but its still worth of coming, or when im in Salem areas on sundays, ill go there .. But wished they were here in Silverton. We need some good selection for natural foods and choices for those who have allergies. I probably shop at this store at least 2&3 a month and I spend quiet a bit, but worth it :) . My kids have food allergies and this store works out for us. Myself have some restrictions too. I forgot the guys name in the supplement area but he is so cool! Great attitude! Also, would be nice if you guys start carrying JUST EGG product. Aperantly good seller!
Love this place,great customer service and helpful.Great selection of vitamins and supplements and produce and products..Will be returning !!
The best person here Yumi is so proficient and friendly. She makes the store better!
My go to store, as I can trust the quality of the products and they carry things I find more expensive elsewhere.
Great store for the highest quality natural and organic foods AND supplements without the whole paycheck foods prices!
Clean and cheerful with staff that arent just friendly, theyre more like family. And fantastic products. Love my local store.Plus as the director of a local food bank, I would like to applaud this store for helping me feed my community. They go above and beyond and serve from genuine love.
Great place in Salem. I think Corvallis has one or two. I havent checked that town out yet. Great Herbs and supplements. I will be happy to try natural things over Pharmaceuticals. I feel good
I genuinely wanted to like this place. I went to it alot actually before I finally got fed up and stopped going. When I first started going I noticed the employees would always stare at me and at first I thought it was because I was new to the area and I wasnt one of the regulars. But it kept happening and without fail no matter where I ended up at in the store there was always an employee 5 steps away from me. I had thought it was because they were super helpful but my hopes were dashed as the way the employees would act around me just seemed to degrade as I kept coming in. I always felt like I was being watched with hostility and I felt I had to dress up because heaven forbid I walk in looking scruffy Id get tossed out on my bum. But the defining moment for me was when I was openly followed around the store by an employee. I hadnt realized at first I thought another customer was trying to make conversation. But then she was in every isles I was in. I actively tried to loose her and she would show up and try to talk to me. Well turns out she was an employee because she got scolded by her superior for talking to me because it was very obvious she thought I was stealing. I thought she was homeless. I was shocked. I had my doubts because no theyre a cute neighborhood market and Ive always paid why would they think I was stealing? Was it because I used food stamps? No it couldnt be because other shoppers have used them. Was it because I was Mexican? And you dont really see any brown people around there much? I sure hope not because Ive seen other employees of ethnic origin. But what really broke the camels back was when I was standing in line and they were short on cashiers and an employee came up and called for the next customer aka me. And low and behold who is manning the register but the lady who wore a long purple jacket and had a red bob cut and thought I was stealing. I could see it on her face too, like she wasnt sorry she did it but was sorry she got caught. That was the last time I went to that store. A shame really because I love what they stand for.
Lately I dont enjoy my visit. The store staff seems overworked and unhappy. They are not polit and the experience is unpleasant.I am thinking of quiting my shopping there if it will continue to be like that.
Very organized especially after trying a certain place with Traders in their title. The staff knew exactly what to find and where to find the items we needed. Found it to be very much like Vitamin Cottage in Colorado.
Great store, all the produce is organic, they have the best eggs prices, but you have to sign up for the free store card. wide selection of local apples, 3 varieties sweet potatoes, cilantro is the best when they have it. Challah bread is a nice treat.My favorite is their bulk section. They have individually wrapped bags of spices, flour, rice, beans, lentils. Dont miss this aisle and its companion cooler in the back.They also now have a store brand for canned items with good prices and quality. Their breakfast cereal aisle has some unique selections.A third of the store is devoted to supplements and vitamins. They have some good prices on their store brand for vitamin c & d.Overall their store is clean, well stocked. The people are friendly helpful. Theyre in between Life Source and Trader Joes.
Overall nice people (a bit woke but not bad) Good deal on vitamins and organic produce. I stocked up on ivermectin, zinc, selenium, D3 and hydroxochlquine
They have one of the best health food stores Ive ever come across. If your dairy free they have an amazing selection. Its hard to eat around your diet, here you wont struggle trying to find options. Plus, they are eco-friendly. I love this store so much
Super chill vibes. Very low energy store in a good way. Nice selection of products
Love this store has everything I need just wish they had another store closer towards North Salem area
For the one of the only health food stores in Salem, its decently stocked. Some items are more expensive, some are cheaper, like anywhere you would shop at.
Awesome place to shop!
I really appreciate having this wonderful store in Salem.I go there for all my medicinal needs.
Only giving a three star because of the good service we got finding the right vitamins. Other then that I think the prices are a little high.
They have great produce and very knowledgeable people working in their supplement dept.
Great quality products. Helpful staff and good natural food.
I always enjoy the freshness of the veggies and fruit at this store. Lots of variety.Good prices.I shop there as often as possible.(I live in Albany)
So many great healthy choices and a great kombucha selection!
This is a great place to shop small for local and organic food and home items. Always lots of fresh produce and a very clean store. Some of the best vegan options around and very friendly staff. The natural beauty/health section of the store also has a great selection and cool small gifts. Please wear a mask! Hand sanitizer is at the front of the store when you walk in and out. If you need bags bring your own and you have to bag your own stuff right now.
This place has all the natural food for someone who is trying to get healthy. I love buying Luna Mash-up bars this one is Lemon zest and Blueberry. Yummy I bought the whole box.
Great store and people.
They have some great stuff but are lacking. Safeway has things I cannot find at natural grocers such as coconut milk without guar gum and the prices are high. But I love the produce options and the siete chips and other food without tons of added garbage. The option to get a turkey without added garbage at Thanksgiving is a life saver.
There is always what I need plus what items I need for my recipes 😃, the customer service is phenomenal ☺️.
I will probably never buy from this chain again. They suddenly decided that masking a child who is not required to mask was worth losing customers over. Their store is nothing special. Drive across town, youll get a better price and less hassle.
I go to Natural Grocers to save on items I use a lot of (i.e., shredded coconut, certain flowers, etc.) and they are always great. I end up buying fruits and veggies while Im there b/c they are so good.
Though its pricey, I love this place! It helps keep me compliant with my Paleo diet.
Terrible customer service whether going in or ordering online. They sell old products that are nearly expired or have expired already and won’t give refunds even with pictures of horrible rotten food. Shop somewhere more fresh.
This place is great! Ive been using supplements for decades, and Ive worked at a place in So Cal as a nutritional consultant. This store has almost everything Ive ever used under 1 roof, for an exceptionally good price! While not everything is the absolute cheapest, it is usually in stock, and i use and store hundreds of supplement including homepathic remedies. The people have been extremely friendly and actually somewhat knowledgeable. I believe if you are friendly, the people will pick up on that.
Clean store and friendly staff
Love this place!
We love natural grocers! The employees are knowledgeable, helpful, and kind. Their prices are great and they have good quality items.
Great store for buying natural products. They also have a very extensive selection of vitamins and supplements. Employees are very friendly and helpful.
Great foods
One of my favorite places to go, have everything you need in one spot
Love it too. Lots of Vegan and nutritious foods and natural vitamins etc.
Great food options! Healthy! Nice people.
Even well before the Corona situation started I have always had a hard time with this store having items in stock. Its been this way for the last year Ive been shopping here, doesnt matter if Im using Instacart or going there in person, either way its disappointing and inconvenient. Ive come to expect them having 30% of the things on my list out of stock, every time. Please do your buying and inventory better. Normally I dont like to leave negative reviews but its been going on for so long I had to say something.
Great products and great customer service. Always inventory issues though.
Huge selection of dairy free and vegan foods. And foods Ive never even thought of or have only seen in magazines. Absolutely amazing store!
The workers are really friendly if need something just ask they will help
Very good experience. Love going to this store.
Great store to shop for produce. Its more expensive but most of the items are worth the price. We go here to get kombochas and root beer quite often!
Very helpful staff great place to shop for organic stuff
The folks here are so kind. The store is clean and accessible. Love my NG
Great in all the ways
Not enforcing masks...not sanitizing checkout lanes after the mask refusers go through. Will not put my health at risk by shopping here again. Life Source will get all of my business from now on
The only store that carries organic Lactose free milk! Great customer service, good organic product.
Great variety of vegan foods and specialty items that you cant find just anywhere. The staff is helpful and friendly.They have samples at times and events that are helpful. Vitamins and supplements to fit any lifestyle and dietary needs. Yummy desserts.
Organic/Free Range Eggs are so cheap here! Better prices than any other store for regular ones! Prices are a tad high on other items so I only buy here what I cant get organic at another place. But I love the smell of the store!!! I also buy all of my essential oils here! Same or better price than MLM ones and even organic!
Really? Attitude and passive aggresive cashiering from the man with the clear plastic toy mask
Consistently good if thats what you need and sometimes you do!
Theres always a good selection here, with friendly service. From all the things I know about this company, Im super happy to spend my money to support it. They have community classes etc, a great addition to the local area.Nice produce and deli selection as well, a good choice for an easy lunch.
This is my go to spot for hot deals and hot women. When I’m on the prowl for the best produce in town, Natural Grocers has the best around. The staff are some of the most knowledgeable and beautiful people in the health food industry. From massive melons to plump cucumbers, I’m always able to find just what my heart desires.
Our July 4th 2019 Picnic at Bushs Pasture Park & Botanical Gardens in SE Salem was a huge success. The favorite dish was inspired by a recent shopping trip to this supermarket chain (156 stores). Many of our guests were not acquainted with Ancient Harvest Organic Super Grain Pasta and were delighted to enjoy a super tasty loaded pasta salad that was fun eat and nutritionally dense / heart healthy. I like the store layout and convenient parking too. *****Ten Stars*****
Good organic produce with overall good prices.
It has a big variety of natural items.
I love this place! They offer a decent amount of different products, and they excel at the amount of bulk foods they carry. All employees have been helpful, and they are always willing to answer questions. They dont use plastic bags, so you have to bring your own. If you forget, they can usually find you a box.
This is a great health food store
More Expensive than conventional grocery store but so worth it! Wonderful staff too. Plus like a little salad bar with a few tables. Cozy feel
Great place need to better enforce masks though.
Lots of variety, helpful and friendly staff.
Huge selection of items. Has everything you need. Groceries, hair and skin care, essential oils, vitamins and more.the produce is amazing and they carry fresh turmeric root! The employees are very knowledgeable, helpful and friendly. I love this store! 😍
I was very impressed with there knowledge. I explained my girlfriends situation and they knew exactly what I needed. They took the time to go over all my options and answer all my questions. They were so patient and nice to me I couldnt of asked for better service.
This store has a lot of options for the natural living shopper and also the new to natural living shopper. Their prices are fair and employees are always helpful, intelligent about the products offered and polite with happy smiles. I love just walking the aisles and seeing what I stumble upon. I always learn something new when I go here. I highly recommend this store.
I cant get enough of the smell in this place! My favorite place to get essential oils and all my shampoo, conditioner, body wash toothpaste and lotion! FREE RANGE EGGS for only $1.99! And Free Range Organic only a dollar more! Thats cheaper than regular eggs at other stores. I love this store
Great place to get good quality stuff.More a community sort of store and I love that!! This is not trader joes (thank god)!Classes, informative and friendly staff, events and a little of everything.Produce section is fantastic!
Nice store with ample parking. On average they have about the best day to day prices. Trader Joes probably beats them out in a couple of ways, but for organics they have a better selection and are cheaper than Whole foods or Market of Choice.
Fresh organic,non GMO foods at reasonable prices. Great bulk section, personal care and this store is also called the Vitamin Cottage therefore, they have an excellent supplement section. Love this little store!
Great store! Great employees!!!
I spent an hour here getting essentials with my mother. They are less expensive than some online retailers. The staff was nice. We also got a giant jug of apple cider for $10 that was the best I have had in my life.
The place to go for all things natural ♡
Loved this store!
Way expensive for the avg person. Only get 2 thing here and they are expensive enough.
This is becoming one of my favorite stores in Salem! Their prices are better than Amazon and I can find all of my bizarre keto ingredients here. The workers are friendly and helpful, too.
Great organic products but horrible customer service. Ive stopped going here because of the poor service.
Great place to go. Friendly cashiers. Usually has in stock what I am looking for. Fresh produce has yet to disappoint! I highly recommend because of their reasonable prices for healthy food!
Lots of fresh food focused on organically sourced foods. Nice selection of frozen prepared foods.
Great variety of beauty/home/bath and supplements. Along with the benefits of a grocer.
They have a very friendly staff. They do have inventory issues. You never know if your items will be in stock.
I love this store and go here 2-3 times a week mostly for their organic fresh veggies and their store brand of organic granola which is awesome.Staff are friendly and the whole place has a good, calm, laidback feeling unlike a lot of mainstream grocery stores. It’s a big part of why I go so regularly.
Best place to buy organic products.
Excellent variety of gluten free, dairy free foods, and herbal supplements at reasonable prices.
Great
Great selection, clean store, friendly staff.
Very helpful and lots of healthy choices.
Tiny produce section and 1/3 is the store is nutritional supplements and beauty products.
You need to bring your own bags...so good thing I had some in my trunk😉 They were fairly priced but what I loved was their $2 produce section, the fact that my fresh spinach lasted well over a week without ever getting slimy and their grab n go section has some pre made vegan sandwiches which I wanted to try and thought I wouldnt like but OMGEEE! It was the best sandwich ever!
Good selection natural, organic and vegan foods as well as abudant supplements. Not a frilly place but good for basic natural food. Staff turnover seems high
So at first I just thought the employees were rude to Im guessing everyone because when I walked in I almost ran into to cashier and she said nothing to me even though I excused myself. As I came up to the cash out line again nothing no hello, or, Hi. And then another customer walks in and immediately as shes walking in the cashier smiles and says Hello, good morning. So why were they greeted with a friendly smile and welcome and I got nothing. I did not feel welcome at all
Great store. I feel good about stuff I buy here. They have food, vitamins, shampoo and body creams. They do NOT have plastic bags so be prepared for that. Overall, great store.
