• Louisville's Best Health Food Institution

I've been going to Amazing Grace for years, even before I lived in Louisville. While they don't have the biggest selection (who can compete with Whole Foods?), for the Highlands they are the vegan sanctuary. A lot of specialty products make them special, from exotic chocolates to vegan marshmallows, to seasonal, local produce. They have a good health and beauty section, as well as dog and cat food galore. They can order pretty much anything you want and will usually price match other stores as well. If patient, you can get good advice from the employees on the products and foods they sell. The deli comes and goes, but is usually quite solid with one or two vegan soups, sandwiches, wraps, and a host of vegan baked goods (as of this writing they are spectacular). Best of all, this is Louisville's true independent, family-owned health food store. It's one of a kind and has remained that way since its inception over 14 years ago. I recommend Amazing Grace to any health-conscious shoppers, vegans, or locavores in the area, or those just passing through.
