I received a friendly greeting when I entered. I let them know it was my first time and they did a great job explaining the whole process and let me in on tips that some of their regular customers appreciate like special discount days, ability to bring my own containers, and that it is ok to get small quantities. She was very good at answering my sons questions too. Nice selection. I was impressed by how much was in the store. They also support ECHO by selling some of their handmade items which I thought was nice.

Pretty broad selection of things, though a bit pricey, but all in one place. You may be able to save more, online, but its questionable by how much - when you can get it here, and see what youre getting.

The store has many items that I wouldnt even think of. I love being able to buy as little or as much as I want. This way I dont waste anything if I dont particularly enjoy or need it. You can bring in your own container instead of using the bags which is a wonderful change.

Love this place! No samples, so you must know what you want! Great place to buy all your baking needs! The roasted whole bean coffee selection is amazing! I have yet to try them all! I love the selection of dried fruits! If your planning a special occasion or wedding look no further. This place has the colored m&ms individualized! Color theme your tasty table treats. Or if you like just one color of m&ms the best!I was amazed at the selection of tea blends! I definitely need to start buying some of my tea from here! Price point is nice! Some of the nuts could be cheaper though!

Havent found a bulk store like this one before. They have all the granola and stuff like that. And a whole candy part which was great. My favorite part is they had cream of broccoli soup the powder mix which is my favorite soup. Definitely coming back

Great experience! Loved the customer service. The store was clean and had great tunes! There was a variety of items to choose from. Ann was a joy and the new workers there are learning well. My only desire was that I came to the store earlier and that there was an alkaline water machine to get bulk water here. Other than that...definitely go here!!!

Just did a walk through of this place (I hadnt noticed it before and I was leaving 5 Below) and my eyes got so big around the tea area and snacks! I dont know if they let you bring your own containers (if not, whats the point of creating less waste) Im excited to explore and make some delicious purchases

This is one of my favorite places to visit when Im in the Brandon area. Great for snacks, cooking, baking, you name it. Dozens of options and serve your own honey and pressed oils. I absolutely love it here.

Review №13

Lots of items, but pricey by the pound. I like the selection. Concerns over contamination with everyone opening the containers and scooping out. The store is clean though. If you are a baker, good variety of flours. Candies are great, but be sure you weigh your items before getting to the register so you are not suprised with the cost.

Review №14

This is such a random store but a good find. They have everything from seasonings, to cake supplies, to nut and many kinds of flour. Basically anything you cook with or eat, they have it! If you take young kids, be sure to put them in a stroller or cart to keep them contained. Mine wanted go eat all the products.

Review №15

Cool spot especially to educate the little ones about variety! I got a stash of wasabi peas and shelled pistachios. A little disappointed as they product tasted like they have been sitting in the bins for months. Not so stale where I would leave 1 star but not fresh enough to give 5. Excellent selection but representing whole.organic foods needs to be a little more fresh. Check it out!

If you bake/cook, drink coffee/tea, are looking a snack or healthy alternative then you need to stop here. Great selection and great prices. Helpful staff.

I love a good bulk food store. This was the first I like to visit now that I live here in Florida. A great selection of bulk foods from soup bases, candies, and dried fruit.They even have a great variety of seasonal merchandise and sodas.

Great selection of spices, flours, oatmeal, rice, baking products, protein powders, and much more. Staff was so nice and very helpful. I will definitely be back!! Note: they do let you bring your own containers just make sure to weigh them up front first :)

Love it for raw local honey and smoked paprika and different types of flour. Nice place to buy or rent novelty pans for baking. Teas and different types of nuts are a plus. Check it out....

I love to make my own mixes to eat. I can get all kinds of good stuff here. What I love most is that I can get exactly what I want & I dont have to pick out stuff I dont like. My prime example is dried bananas. Theyre in everything & I despise them. Enough said, right?

Review №21

A good place to get those ingredients in the amount you want to buy instead of the amount in a package. The prices are comparable, some are lower, some a little higher, but they have a lot of items that you cannot find or are hard to find elsewhere. A good place to shop. I suggest you sign up for the email coupons!

Love the selection of product in this store. They recently reorganized and I had trouble locating a few things. Staff is friendly and helpful. I particularly like their collection of unusual bottles sodas. They have ginger beer from Jamaica, several selections of birch beer, and even Ale 8 for my daughter in law. Organic is clearly marked.

Review №29

I actually used to go to this book Nation a lot. Now theyve stopped carrying some of the common things that I used to get. You can no longer get regular couscous only the Pearl couscous they also stopped carrying a Borio rice to make risotto. They seem to rely heavily on a lot of bulk candy sales now. Its too bad because I really enjoyed having a large selection of things like wild rice and different types of lentils. I keep going here for some of the bulk items like nuts. But in all honesty theyre not that fresh. They do have a good selection of spices. And I refill my spice jars from here.

LOVE Bulk Nation!!! I mostly purchase healthly snacks (although they have a LOT of good candy) and seasonings, but their dog treats have become a new favorite. They always have great coffee options and I love the Ice Jamaican spring water!Their bar soap is very nice, they have interesting baking/candy making flavoring oils, and they have some hard to find herbs and vitamin supplements. LOTS OF GLUTEN FREE OPTIONS! Everything is labelled well, even KETO FRIENDLY items. The staff is always helpful and friendly too so feel free to ask if youre looking for something specific! Also, always check their website for coupons 😉

Great selection, nice staff.They have a good selection of bulk foods, and do a good job of keeping them stocked. There staff is attentive, and keeps the store clean. They do have alternate flours, but I was unable to find arrowroot flour. (Hard to find anywhere...)I hope they stay around for a long time!

Visited this store for the first time last week. I was pleasantly surprised by the variety and quality of products offered. Some of the surprises included a good selection of specialty flours and grains, a large selection of flavoring extracts not available in your average grocery store, rather extensive selection of Wilton products, bulk herbs and spices, various bulk coffees, candies (some unusual); all in all, a fun browsing experience. My husband loves the milk chocolate malted milk balls, which, by the way, are also offered in dark chocolate. There were a few negatives, IMHO. The scales for weighing bags of product are somewhat inconveniently located, necessitating back-and-forth trips to the end of your aisle and even to another aisle in attempt to scoop the weight which suits your needs and/or budget. The sales associates are all young women, who spend all of their time clustered in the register enclosure, checking their phones and chatting. When asked a question, they seem at best reluctant to engage, at worst totally bored. I was in the store for an hour and never saw one of the staff leave the registers to answer questions/offer help. The signs which say, No Snacking are confusing. Does this mean that the consumer is expected to purchase a bulk quantity of a product which he/she hasnt tasted? I asked one of the sales people why many of the mixes i.e. soups, dips, pilaf/rice blends were missing recipe cards in the provided slots. The answer was, Well, you can look those up on our website. Not really an ideal answer! All in all, I was pleased to find this unique concept store in our community, and will surely visit again. Im hoping that the franchisee(s) will take a look at some negative comments and make the appropriate changes, if possible . . .

I shop here occasionally however on my last visit I noticed that they got rid of the variety of jelly beans they once carried. I was very upset being that I was shopping for a birthday party and needed a certain color but the assistant manager Alicea took the time with me and helped pick out pounds of the colors I needed. Shes amazing and will be one of my reasons why I will continue to shop here!

Stopped in just to check it out and spent quite a while wandering the aisles! Really cool store with just so many options! Great for dieters, bakers (lots of htf ingredients at good prices), or just everyday people filling the pantry for cheap! I didnt get a chance to see all of it, but was really impressed with the wide array of bulk items. Theres even a candy aisle! Theyve got a really cool rewards program, too. We will be back!

I love Bulk Nation because you can buy as much or as little as you want, which work well when trying new recipes that call for a small amount of an ingredient youve never used before. They carry organic items, which is a plus.

Review №52

This place is great. I was very pleased to see that in addition to candy, they actually sell a number of sugar free options as well as a lot of healthy staples such as felafel mix, granola, steel cut oats, and dried fruit, some without added sugar. While I personally wish there were more on sale, the prices seem to be on a par with other specialty places in the area. The concept is great, the store is well organized, and they have taken what could have been very complex and made it very accessible. Thanks!!

I just want to give a huge shoutout to Alicia L. I just ordered almost $400 worth of candy and mason jars for my wedding in October and she worked so hard to make sure I got everything I needed and that I got it on time. She even offered to fill my jars for me (which is a total of 69 jars) so that I wouldnt have to. She took so much stress off of my shoulders and I appreciated her help so very much. I will definitely be returning for anything else I might need in the future because of her.

Review №58

Not all that friendly, and they dont let you use your own containers. The whole point for me is trying to create less waste by buying bulk foods and putting them in my own containers, rather than a plastic bag. Additionally, a large amount of what they had was candy, so I wouldnt call it a health store by any means. They did have some health food items, but without being able to use my own containers and without their prices being lower than Whole Foods, its not worth the drive for me.

Probably my favorite store in Tampa Bay area (sorry Publix). Okay. Maybe a tie between the two. It is very clean, and has a nice variety of spices, snacks, and drinks.There are sales and coupons which help bring down the prices. There are only two registers so if it is crowded you may have to wait a bit, but that is usually not an issue.Kids LOVE this place.

They have a large selection of dried legumes, grains, & rices ( with or without seasoning). Large selection of candies including nostalgia candy, bulk gummies, bulk chocolates, and bulk hard candies. I just looked around & didnt try any of the candies or food so I cannot attest to the freshness of it (hence the 4 stars) but they looked good.

Bulk Nation is my #1 go to place..... I like to buy premium or deluxe mixed nuts and Ive tried the ones in the can and as always, theyre overloaded with the least expensive nuts, but at Both Nation you get to choose your nuts separately, also they taste a lot better than the canned ones I bought from CVS and Wal-Mart. Head to Bulk Nation and experience it for your self.
