The Health Nuts

Health Nuts is a great family owned chain of health food stores and cafes.
They have many locations– this one is pretty much on par with the other locations. Wonderful café and juice bar, a workable selection of groceries too. It’s not the most reasonable prices around– so it’s probably best for picking up specific items, and not a full grocery shop.
I definitely recommend stopping I to more than one of these stores to see how they differ.

Prices are not bad at all and look out for sales in their newsletter. Support the original small health food stores before Whole paycheck came to town crushing and gentrifying neighbors.

Stopped in here cause I was too lazy to make my own juice one morning.
Juice was a little pricey and watery. No complaints about freshness though.
Won’t repeat.

They have a great selection of organic vitamins, juices and interesting deli options that want you to come back for more.
Ask for a juice card so after 10 juices you get one free!
Staff is nice and very knowledgable

I came in looking for a cleanse package to complete a full body cleanse. The staff were extremely knowledgable and helpful. They answered every question i had and enlightened me on new information about cleansing. I ended up buying what i needed at a descent price a little high but anything healthy is usually a little more money. I was very content and i have been going back frequently since its close to my gated community. I would recommend this store to people! :)

I have to say, as time passed, the deli here went downhill. My office had moved back to Westbury so I started coming more regularly. The raw stuff was all off the menu. They have a bunch of pre-​made salads — they’re not even made on the premises and they’re stored in big plastic bins. The service in the store was super helpful, but at the deli was NOT friendly. I felt like I was aggravating them by ordering fresh juice. Bottom line — good health food in an area where there isn’t much — but I wouldn’t go unless I absolutely had no other option.

Go for groceries, but if you want something to eat right now… grab some lunch somewhere else first. They have a great selection of items that can be hard to find at Trader Joe’s/Whole Foods but the juice/​food bar area is hit or miss… and not hit enough so I’d vote miss. There is a great selection of food, snack, and supplement items.
At the juice/​food bar area, I should have listened up to an older lady who pushed her way to the front to ask what is actually fresh. She said she knows that not everything they have there is fresh and that she’s a regular and to just let her know. The gentleman that was helping me (I noticed an unnatural pause) told her everything was made today or yesterday. Because of this, I asked him what he liked and was excited to see a quinoa tabbouleh salad which I’ve been wanting to try. I got a tasty wrap but the quinoa tabbouleh salad was definitely more than a few days old and ended up in the trash. (I took everything to go and did not have time to go back). I also ordered a juice that had lemon in it, and they must have put like 2 lemons in it because I love lemon but the level in that one cup was not appetizing.
Lastly, I was there a few months ago I got a small side of chickpea salad to stay and remember it tasting funny. I brought this back to ask them about it and the lady told me that that was the way (whatever ingredient she referred to) tastes like. Looking back, that was not an ingredient issue but a freshness issue but I was too soft to stick to that then. Next time, I will pass on the rancid salads… thank you.

Obama care should include a plan to institute businesses such as this one in every town. Whether its a bottle Of kombucha or spirulina pills for my smoothies, multivitamins, honey, (including the potent bio active manuka), lush unfiltered juices, grains, RAW nuts, whatever nutritional supplement or remedy your local cvs doesn’t care to carry. Just go in and spend 10 minutes just looking around. Everything is mildly pricey, but most of their inventory will last you quite some time and prove to be of great health benefit. Minus one star because I don’t think their café food is tasty.

Much like Frank M.‘s review regarding the window signs with health-​orientated catch phrases, I was pulled in by seeing «vegan» on the window nice and big. The promise of a proper fresh-​made vegan sandwich in an area desolate with eating options for vegheads. Unfortunately the café counterperson, more concerned with stocking fruit for the juice bar, barely had a moment to approach the counter to help me. I had to raise my voice so she could hear my questions about the menu and she still wouldn’t approach the counter. Turns out there were no vegan sandwich options at all. Then she gave me an attitude when I asked about why something was posted on the chalk board menu posted that they didn’t have… I opted for a a cellophaned tofu wrap in the store section… which was sickening was a decaying avocado inside of it. I’ll never go back.

The whole time I was browsing in the store, the guy at the counter was non-​stop talking and helping customers. Everyone seemed to come to him for advice about vitamins, tonics, potions, etc. He seemed extremely knowledgeable and chummy to all the customers.
I milled around the store a bit and found many things that I usually eat or use. I got some kale chips and also a spicy goji raw mix. I also bought a few vegan frozen entrees (for work). They have a smaller selection than Whole Foods, but much of the stuff is well picked. I was also able to get some Kombucha Gingerade and that was awesome! It definitely woke me up!
I’ll definitely be back to get more goodies and if I lived close by, I could see myself being a regular here.

Love this place! What more can I say?

the remodel didn’t help customer service wise, so i took away a star.
the food, however, is now SPECTACULAR. it’s more expensive than it used to be. i’m not sure if that’s fair because that was a great reason i was a regular before the renovation but i have to admit… it’s GOOD.

Great juice bar. Very clean. It has a nice open space for eating with some tables outside. Food is fresh, healthy, and delicious. I went for lunch and had the turkey, gorgonzola, portobello, cranberries sandwich. I had it on a whole wheat wrap rather than the flat bread it comes with. It was amazingly tasty. I also had a strawberry-​banana organic smoothy. Yum yum yum. The only downside is pricing. The smoothies are ridiculously overpriced but I guess we live in a society where it’s more expensive to eat right. I will definitely go back for lunch, just not too often, I can’t afford it on a regular basis.

I’ve worked in the Westbury area for three years now and have passed this health food store many times but finally decided to try their newer café. I walked in and started talking to the Chef/​Manager Mike Durr. We quickly shared our love of beef tongue, exotic fruit and Chopped. And now I will share my new found love… The Health Nuts Café.
The café is bright and open with a table outside to enjoy your healthy meal. The menu is written on chalkboards on the wall and I opted for a lunch special; exotic fruit on top of mesclun salad. Hmmmmm I’m eating it right now and I can’t begin to explain the full flavor and excitement out of every bite. It consist of passion fruit with pomegranate seeds, star fruit, bananas and rambutan (it’s very similar to lychee) with black sesame seeds and a balsamic vinaigrette (suggested by Chef Mike who I know fully trust feeding me lol). Also I got a side of chickpeas in a light pesto (mid pesto-​y flavor that’s just right) and black beans with red onions. You know, just your average, everyday lunchtime fare on Long Island. NOT! It is soooooo incredibly refreshing to finally find an eatery that is actually HEALTHY FOR YOU!!! I feel like my lunch quest has been completed. I saved the princess, I passed GO and collect $ 200. OH MY FREAKIN GOD I’M IN LOVE!
Awesome service, fabulous food, great store attached. Mike Durr you are Brilliant:)

The store has the latest raw food and the organic essentials and supplements. Plus the staff is helpful and it’s low hassle compare to whole foods where prices & parking are ugh. The prepared food is actually organic, open kitchen (clean) and surprisingly good, it would be great if they started to incorporate prepared raw food.

this place has a juice bar, and prepared entrees to grab a quick lunch that are awesome (mostly vegetarian/​vegan)
the market sells a bunch of organic food items, vegan, and raw goodies. they also sell loads of vitamins.
the staff is super friendly.
i’m there every week, its so good
