I was confronted by two different staff on four different occasions throughout one trip at this store because of my service dog. One was male either assistant manager or manager and another was a woman who was stocking the shelves, the weekend of the fourth. They did not know what the ADA laws were and continuously told me I was not allowed to have my certified and 100% legal service dog in the store (I take her everywhere). They said even though she was a service dog it violated health codes, which just isnt true. Then they said she had to be labelled as a service dog, which is also not the case. I am legally protected by the ADA to not have to label my dog therefore marking me as a disabled person. They both spoke to me extremely condescendingly, the woman said for educational purposes she was informing me of these things, even though she was wrong. When she failed to find the rules that said my dog had to have a vest, she said she couldnt find the literature (because it does not exist, this is not a real rule). I was in tears throughout the multiple times they confronted me and the last time when they came together I expected an apology, as any quick google search shows they were not accurate in telling me that for some reason my dog and I werent allowed. The man was incredibly rude, instructing me to listen to him and repeatedly talking down to me when they were both in the wrong. My service dog is a medical necessity and she goes everywhere with me, I normally choose for her not to wear a vest as we are both more comfortable this way. I have NEVER experienced anything like this by employees at a store that I am supporting or anyone at all. I wish I had the names of the employees who violated the ADA federal laws, but I was so shaken up by the experience I just wanted to leave the store as soon as possible. I am going to try to contact the store further or get information to identify these two staff members, as I sincerely do not want anyone else to have to experience something like this. There are no excuses for how these employees behaved throughout the time I was in the store and even after realizing they were wrong, that they continually scolded me like a child and did not apologize to someone simply shopping at their store with a perfectly behaved service animal. I was so disappointed because I know people frequent this grocery store in steamboat and the woman checking me out also pointed out how rude they were. I do not think this is natural grocers fault, but this experience was so ridiculous I am not sure how people who would treat someone this way, clearly in opposition to ADA laws, can be working at the store and harassing customers spending a lot of money this way. If these people continue to work here it is not a store suitable for individuals with disabilities to shop at. The employees who did this and the store as a whole should be completely ashamed of the behavior that was allowed to take place. 0 stars.
Great selection of healthy supplements and keto supplies
I just love shopping for heathy food🍓🥦🍅
Love Natural Grocers, but there were a bunch of empty spots on the shelves today including many items on my list. Lots of extra people in town for the 4th
Perfect compliment to the larger stores with a wonderful selection of natural foods and ALL ORGANIC produce.Manager Sean keeps the place running ship shape and always has a smile when greeting you!
Im from Florida, born and raised. This place amazed me with all the organic and healthy food and all. Im not all healthy eating but it amazed me
Great merchandise and helpful employees
Best grocery chain for all things vegan
This is where I discovered goat milk butter. It is delicious!
Its a nice place
Excellent grocer.
Really nice grocery store, very different then Im used to in my home state. If you are into the natural foods, then as the name suggests this is the place for you :)
Great selection of healthy foods. Whether you are eating a plant based diet or an intentional meat diet, you can find the ingredients you need for a delicious dinner. The bulk section is fantastic and the produce is always on point. They also have a great selection of body care products and home goods.
Multiple members of the staff at this location violated the Americans with Disabilities Act (ADA) compliance guidelines.
Clean and well stocked. Friendly staff and we appreciate it! Love the selection.
Everything organic! Amazing!Awesome customer service!
Great store. Very helpful staff and not extremely busy.😀
I go to this Natural Grocers when Im in Steamboat. The people that work there are seemingly pretty happy and helpful. I love that its clean and has all the things that I want in terms of organic and fresh produce and healthy Meats.
I wish they had one of these in CA
I love getting my shake mixes here. They even carry delicious sandwiches that I get for lunch
So cheap and a lot of organic things
House in the old city-market circa 1988, the Natural Grocers has a prime location downtown. Selections are outstanding, staff friendly, shopping experience delightful. Only complaint is their prices, but guess that is the cost of bringing quality items to the shelves 3 hours from Denver.
So happy to have a grocery store down town. Even though they are a chain, they deliver a personal touch. Easy, convenient, variety of food items. Parking lot is tricky. Be careful coming in and backing out.
It was ok.
Good prices for some product and bulk foods and spices.Lots of eclectic ingredients.Other half is kooky health food.
Hire people who are actually pleasant. Young dude with an attitude glares at you if he knows you are not from here and clean cut professional, stickers glare like you are from Mars. Would it hurt to act like you appreciate customers, accept pleasantries, and not be gruff? Ill avoid the place if you cant hire more friendly people.
There appears to be a streak of negativity running through this store lately. The staff seem miserable and I have had several experiences with staff being passive aggressively rude when items need to be returned. My wife, who shops separately has noticed the same thing. Hopefully the mood changes there, as shopping other places is not preferable, but is starting to be.
Great selections of quality organic products in town.
Beautiful produce, great home products, screaming deals and the best staff. I can find all my weird things in the bulk section. Glad to habe NG.
Because anything is better than Walmart, and its cheaper than whole foods. Love the protein shake prices here.
They have an isle of just chocolates that Ive not tried before and theyre all good. Clean and very organized. Tasty beef jerky selection. Lots of organic and natural stuff. Complimentary lotion and hand sanitizers at every registry.
Nice variety of natural groceries to choose from. 😀
Great customer service. Produce is always good. Always in stock with items and will order bulk of whatever you need. Great grab and go lunch spot too.
Best (only) natural foods store in Steamboat. Solid selection of organic produce. Fair amount of bulk items and snacks. Great, healthy prepared meals. Incredible selection of vitamins, supplements, and natural healing remedies.
I love the products in this store although I think the staff needs better educated on the products they sell
Really refreshing when you get the best food for cheaper. Not just shopping but the feel of the the place was great. Even have a hang out room to relax while your buddy is shopping too much. 😊. A lot of suppliments for EVERYTHING.
Love love love love.
Love the convenience of a downtown grocery store, the healthy options, and the staff is always so helpful.

Thankful that this place is here. I order a lot of stuff online but this is a great option to have. Clean store and always great customer service
Nice staff, surprisingly good prices on a lot of stuff (eggs, dry goods, treats, frozen foods). This is a real treat for people who live downtown.Now that Bamboo Market is gone, and since Safeway and City Market only do partial service for organic/small market services, Natural Grocers really only suffers from a crappy parking situation. Beware when backing up!
The cashiers should smile more often
Good food the people are nice the only thing is is that it is hard to find food and sometimes miss placed bother wised good experience
Prices are a bit on the high side in Steamboat Springs, but I expected that. Ive been to other locations that are not so touristy that have more reasonable pricing. This was a nice store though.
Best grocery store in the area for awesome foods. Staff are great too!! A larger bag-your-own bulk section is about the only thing Id say is missing from this natural food store.
Great selection of healthy choices! Helpful staff. You pay a bit more but its organic and worth it!
Steamboat Springs very own natural health market.
The only store worth going to in town. Fresh produce and great staff.
Im not a fan of the organic movement. Half the store is pills and a bunch of them were reported to not have what they say. All of the food is good, but really expensive. The only good deal is the water jug refills.
Great healthy place with mostly everything you need. Prices are what you would expect for organic health food. Staff is friendly and helpful :)
All clerks are most friendly!
My Topo Chico source
Great store with local food, healthy options, and tons of vitamin supplements. This place really has it all and even a great staff too

Excellent inventory. Always clean. Just wish there was more parking.
Great selection and competitive prices. Super friendly staff!

Clean store and restrooms, and friendly service at the registers.
Great store, lots of selection. Wonderfully helpful staff! Love this store!!
Nice place to find the unusual but needs more organization. Difficult to navigate through the aisles.
Rediculously expensive
I was volunteer 4 lift-up. These guys donate so much stuff. More than City Market and Walmart. Theyre Awesome!!!
Love this place wish theyd replace walmart
Its ok but you will find better selections at city market.
Excellent place. They have lots of great products and the staff is always ready to help.
