Need a LOT of beans? You can get that here! - Edit

Alright. So let’s say you want a LOT of beans. You’re in Boston, you want to reduce your waste and carbon footprint, but every bulk co-op charges $4 a pound for beans and you want the plastic from $2 a pound supermarket beans out of your life. This place has got you covered. Besides what’s in store - which by the way, this is a great place to refill spices in an affordable manner - you can email the very friendly owners, or talk to them, and they can place a custom bulk order for you for whatever is available to them through their vendor, either organic or conventional. In my case, the organic even ended up being less expensive! If you too eat chickpeas and butter beans on a daily basis and are in the market for 20 lbs of beans, this is ABSOLUTELY the place you’ve been looking for.

In all seriousness, though, I am really thankful Green Street is here to support my beans habit and refill my spices. I have been questioning some of my assumptions lately on whether or not vegan and vegetarian places are actually more expensive for my needs, and I’m going to give this place a try more often as part of that.

Pros: Bulk spice selection is excellent and very fresh, Ability to special order bulk items, Very kind owners/employees

Spices! - Edit

This tiny shop is an absolute gem and a nice alternative to Whole Foods. Their produce section is limited but sufficient, and they also carry a great selection of pre-packaged healthy snacks. Where they really shine is their bulk section of spices. It is so awesomely varied, at affordable prices, with items not found elsewhere. I LOVE supporting this local business!

Amazing products and service!! - Edit

The produce is incredible! Best oranges I've ever had! The staff are super friendly and helpful as well. They also sell herbs, supplements, and nuts/seeds etc. A new favorite of mine!!

Hidden gem - Edit

Excellent selection of vegan and non-vegan products. Extremely friendly staff. Really unfortunate that a Whole Foods went in right around the corner, but I will still continue to come here and support a wonderful local business.

Pros: Selection, Staff, Local Business

Cons: Slightly hidden location
