Better Health Store

I love coming here for all of my vegan specialty items. The staff is friendly. In particular, I love their selection of deli items and pre-​made lunch foods. My only suggestion would be to label deli items, I always run in and out to buy a quick lunch on my way to work and I always have to go out of my way ask what the ingredients are, it would be so simple to simply mark it on the package or at least list the ingredients. For example, I had been consuming their curried tofu (its delicious) but to my dismay, I recently discovered it is not vegan. It contains eggs (its super easy to make this dish without eggs, so I don’t know why they don’t make it vegan). I even asked the person working behind the sandwich counter if this dish was vegan and she assured me it was, she seemed to think that anything not containing meat was vegan. For a specialty health store such as this, I would hope that the workers at least new the difference between vegan and vegetarian, she told me a pasta salad obviously containing feta was vegan. It also takes an extremely long time to order sandwiches, I flat out stopped doing it because I got sick of waiting 20 minutes when one person was in front of me. This would be so easy to solve, great store but needs some improvement.

So happy I found a closer source for my Barista Blend French Vanilla Coconut Milk cream! Saves me the trek to Whole Foods. I buy my wheatgrass, raw nuts, greek style coconut milk yogurt, gluten free granola & snack bars and Late July chips (since Costco stopped carrying them). I also purchase some oils and vitamins and find the staff EXTREMELY helpful when I am looking for a recommendation or product info. I love the weekly coupon text (so I don’t have to do anything more than show them my text for a 10−20% (depending on the day of the week) discount off my bill). I have also attended one of their juicing classes and loved it (wish this location had more classes like the other stores)

I love the food choices here. And Dan is the best! He’s knows about healthy choices and provides good recommendations for a healthy lifestyle!

Not the widest selection of products (hoping to find chia pods or organic icecream) but staff (Mark specifically) was extremely helpful. He clearly has a passion for health, and offered great suggestions with a smile.
The prepared food looked and smelled delicious, and their prices were inline for most products. Plus their discount card provides instant savings at checkout.
Huge selections of supplements and healthy, nutrient dense snacks.
Clean store too.
First time in this chain, wish there were similar stores in the Chicagoland area!

Purchased a groupon and loved using it for the prepared food. Turkey burger was delish! Prices were totally fine. The only problem I had at this store is they don’t recycle. They gave us food in plastic containers that we had to throw away in the trash. I just don’t understand this!

The prices are outrageous. The employees are unhelpful at best, and outright rude at worst.

Update: The staff are very helpful. The juices, smoothies, salads and more in the deli area are very good. It is still pricey, but it is what it is. Side note: They open at 9:00 am.

This store will be moving to Square Lake and Telegraph in May. This is a Michigan based company and they offer a rewards program. Prior to this I have never been inside before… but I had some time to kill before my LaMarsa order was ready. It is a tiny store, only three aisles. They have a nice selection of natural beauty products ie. Dr. Bronners, Alba Botanicals, Deodrant, Hair Dye, etc. They had Good Earth Tea, Dieters Tea, yogi teas and many others. A small selection of health foods and gluten free prducts. Decent selection of protein powders and bars. Lots of viatmins and supplements from qualty manufactures like specturum and code. Good selection of cleanses. Nice homeopathy remedies from tabs to tinctures. They follow the Dr. Oz trends and have products featured on the show… many heling with weightloss. They even have herbal viagra… I really liked that they had two brands of essential oils (now foods and living desert) that are far cheaper than whole foods’ aura cacia and 365 brands. I stocked up! Definately if you are in the area check it out.
