Disappointed and Overpriced
I really wanted to like this place, but my experience was honestly disappointing. For a store that prides itself on being “organic” and “local,” the selection was surprisingly limited and overpriced.
The staff weren’t rude, but they didn’t seem particularly helpful or knowledgeable either. I asked about the source of one of the products and got a vague “I think it’s from around here” as a response.
On top of that, the store layout is confusing and cramped.
Won’t be returning. I’d rather shop at a regular grocery store with better quality and prices.
Stopped in to purchase from their deli before shopping. I expected to sit and enjoy my lunch but their seating is for employees only. Room for 10 or 12 to be seated, only two employees using the area. I don't know when they decided to not allow patrons a place to sit while they eat. Very disappointed. I'll shop somewhere else.
Yesterday, I had my first experience there… Excellent products with friendly staff!
Big store full, lots of different products. I was just looking for one specific item and the staff was very helpful. A good experience.
Store products and staff are great but the deli has really gone downhill. The wraps and selection used to be great, but now there are either no wraps or they are poor quality (small, bland, folded weird). $10-$12 for a small potato salad or bland quinoa salad. Just bought a chicken cranberry sandwich and the cranberry sauce was nowhere to be found, mixed greens is listed as an ingredient and there was only one tiny piece of leaf lettuce. Soup is hit or miss, if they have it. Really disappointing for people who work in the area as options are limited.
Lots of products great help very nice people. Prices seem very fair and it looks like a place that anyone interested in health food or supplements can find exactly what they want. I would highly recommend anyone who is interested in supplements, health food, and vitamins as well as pretty nice produceto pay them a visit.
My interaction while shopping here was very disappointing. It looks like this is a toxic environment to anyone who isn't 100% into natural things. If you happen to appreciate both modern inventions as well as natural wellness, they seem to look at you poorly and pester you about it. Empathy is very important. Everyone is human, no matter their personal beliefs, practices, and personality. They should at least be more open minded to their customers. No hate to Lifestyle Markets itself, but definitely shop at a different location.
Plenty of supplements and protein powders. A good selection of personal hygiene products, a great selection of kimchi and sauerkraut, a decent refrigerator section. Foods are probably more expensive than I would spend.
It’s a comfortable store. Some of the cashiers can’t be bothered to bag groceries which is annoying.
Love all the organic selection and quality products.
Lots of products, good staff

Such a Inhuman behaviour by the employee working there. He refused to gave medicine just moment before closing. i mean why ????..... he said sorry... like seriously ?? Our cat is dying... That medicine is the only hope........
I went there to buy my cats homopathic medicine. He was dying that day due to kidney failure. Even after i told the guy with face piercings about the situation he refused to help. As i was only 2 minutes late before store closed. Such inhumane nature of employee working is unacceptable.
The last several times I've been here I've found the staff more than underwhelming. This last time has put me off for good. In years gone by the staff was helpful, informative and polite. Not so much anymore in my experience.
Ahhhhh. Not sure what happened but the place is dark, depressing and a little dirty. Cold staff and mostly empty bulk section :( I LOVED shopping here in the past it was amazing 5 years ago, sorry guys! :(
Astonishingly complete selection of anything healthy and organic.
