Too many animal products

I visited this store, expecting it, based on the reviews, to be vegan (I didn't realize that a nonvegan health food store could get a five-star rating). I was sorely disappointed. There were animal products almost everywhere, conveniently placed at eye level for nonvegan shoppers: cans of fish flesh, jars of ghee, cartons of bone broth. The salad bar had soups made with chicken broth, and the deli had the flesh of chickens and fishes. Yes, there was a good collection of vegan cheeses and milks but an even bigger selection of animal cheeses, milks and eggs, not to mention raw animal flesh in plastic packaging. There was even a shelf devoted to bacon made from dead pigs. (How does a store that sells animal bacon get classified as a "health food" store?)

I can appreciate that a store that stocks vegan products and offers some vegan prepared food items is convenient, but these days many regular grocery stores carry most of these items. I wish we had food stores in New Jersey that are at least vegetarian, like Down to Earth in Hawaii. A store could do so much good for humans, animals, and the environment by excluding animal products. As Melanie Joy explains, it can be traumatising for vegans to see animal flesh and secretions wherever we go, and it's frustrating that we don't have safe spaces to shop. I understand and respect the positive reviews from other vegans, but my visit to this store just left me depressed.

Pros: Vegan muffins and cookies

Cons: Lots of animal flesh and secretions

Small market with many options

Has an intimate “homey” kind of feel, but offers a really admirable number of vegan options. Premade sandwiches as well as deli & juice bar. This was the first store I was able to find Fieldroast mini corn dogs! Also their selection of vegan Halloween candy right now is nothing short of epic!

Pros: Lots of vegan options , Reasonable prices , Great vibe

Nice Options!

It’s really convenient to find a close place like this with so many options!! We picked up a few groceries while on vacation and also had a vegan deli wrap in the parking lot and brought home some “egg” and “chicken” salads (just FYI the “chicken” salad was a bit off-putting because it was stringy like chicken, but if you’re alright with that texture — enjoy)!!!

mini whole foods

Well it's a mini whole foods without paying with your whole pay check lol! When I don't feel like taking a hike up to whole foods this store has everything I need! All organic and fresh fruits and veggies! They have everything you could need! They also have a smoothie/juice bar in the back!

wish i lived closer!

Great juice bar (/deli)! They have tons of veggies, fruits, and supplements to add to your juice/smoothie. They also make a lot of gluten free treats. Grocery store was nice, too. We got the DIY almond butter. Their prices are totally reasonable. Oh yea, the cashier was very friendly and candid, nothing like the cashiers at most grocery stores, healthy or otherwise. I highly recommend visiting these folks!

They have everything.

They have a great selection of vegan items that I can't find other places! They seem to have everything in I need in a small place. I think its my favorite health food store in New Jersey. Some items are higher in price but some are way lower.

Pros: Great selection, friendly staff
