They are out of stock of a substantial amount of vitamins, and dont staff the Vitamin department regularly. This USE TO be the only place I trusted for vitamins. They USE TO have very helpful and courteous staff. I averaged hundred dollars or so per month on supplements here alone. I also encouraged everyone I know to solely purchase their vitamins here, due to the high quality of the product and how trustworthy they are. I never ran into problems- until today. First bad experience, but bad enough that I will not return until Im able to speak to a manager that is willing to correct the situation, as follows:I drive 40 min to and from this Natural Grocers, because I trusted them. Yesterday, they were out of stock of half the supplements that I needed. They also didnt have anyone who could answer my questions, though a kind young gentleman in produce tried his best. Ok. I figure Ill call and see when someone can help, and when they restock the items.The next day, I called in with my questions regarding stocking schedules, and reasonable alternatives for out if stock items. I asked Tammy when they usually staff the vitamin department. Tammy was trying to get off the phone the entire time. She didnt answer my question regarding when they get shipments in, or stock for that department. She also refused to tell me when the vitamin department is generally staffed.Despite me telling her that no one was able to help me the previous day, she insisted that it didnt matter when the vitamin department was staffed, because anyone would be able to assist me. That, as I politely indicated to her, was not my experience the day prior. I told her it is a very long drive for me, so its quite a gamble to show up, not knowing Ill leave with what I needed. She told me that they dont give out personal schedules.. but I clarified AGAIN that I just want to know when *anyone* was working that department. You know, what hours do they typically staff that department?I was willing to try reasonable replacements for the products I needed which were out of stock, and I told her Id need guidance to do so. She repeated that anyone could help me- despite me telling her that that was NOT my experience, and that I drive 40+ minutes JUST for my supplements and some helpful guidance. A trip that was not successful.I inquired if I could ask the manager about the schedule for that department/ when people are generally in the vitamin department. Tammy said that the manager wasnt there, and to call back. Thats fine, but she wouldnt tell me when I should call back. I asked her to take a message for him, so he could call at his convenience. She declined to answer, insisting that I call back during the ambiguous times he might be there.She suggested that I show up to purchase the products at ANOTHER ambiguous time- not knowing if they have the product in stock, or if someone knowledgeable would be there to assist me in finding an alternative to those products.This use to be the ONLY place I would purchase vitamins. Unless they make this right, I will not be doing so again. Spending money should not at all be so exhaustive. . Nor should I have the additional cost in gas of driving 40 minutes or so and back and forth because someone refused to provide BASIC information I might need to come when I could actually purchase the costly products that I need.Tammy took my name and number for an order (which I doubt she will complete, with her attitude towards me). If the manager would like to contact me, they can talk to her. Considering this is the first absolutely terrible experience Ive had, Im willing to change my review. My name is Jessy. I encourage you to reach out.
I really enjoy this store. I am able to get many natural items there that I cant find elsewhere...
Great customer service and affordable organic veggies.
Great place! Lots of good deals.
I mean its ok I go there a lot just to get snacks but they do need to add more flavors for naked drinks.
Jason is the best! The entire store is amazing!
A wonderful store! Nice, very helpful people. I am celiac so I treasure a store where knowledgeable people work hard and know their products! Thank you
Clean, lots of variety, great place for organic produce and supplements. Wish they had one in Sierra Vista.
I was in heaven! Love this store. Much better than Sprouts as far as vitamins & supplements go!
Looking for a supplement that had no inactive ingredients. Though had a wide selection, could not find any.
Its so awesome to walk into a store and know everything is organic all the produce, all the eggs everything. Be a nice person and buy the free range eggs. Happier chicken :-) staff is always super friendly
Great store! Every time Ive been there, its been very well stocked. Comfortable feel and helpful staff.
Better than whole foods for sure. See some produce
Wonderful store, extremely helpful staff. Amazing selection of products and the prices are just right too! I will definitely be making this store my new weekly stop😃
I was forced to wear a mask, even with a health condition. They said it was store policy. I checked their store policy and it stated that their policy was in relation with Tucson’s mandate. Tucson’s mandate states clearly the requirements for folks with disabilities (Natural Grocers workers were wrong and/or lying). I was harassed by the manager 2x and an employee after explaining I had a medical exemption... They clearly don’t understand their own policy... I’m thinking about suing.
I love this place. This is where i get my Elderberry tea for breakfast. Lots of good stuff to see and explore. Clean, very friendly, always busy.
If you are vegan or vegetarian, this is the grocer for you. Lots of items to choose from. Great customer service!
Super helpful clerks and especially the Mgr of the dairy/frozen dept. Very relaxing and pleasant store
Great service and assistance with good fruit vegetables and gluten free choices.
Great store. Wide selection. Good specials. Good service.
I love this store! Great food great prices for organic food and the customer service is amazing and there is like never anyone in there maybe a handful at a time.
Restricting its selection to organic provides an environment where the price is not artificially heightened due to it not eroding profits from reductions in the total sell of zucchini for example. When you buy organic produce at a general grocery store, the price is to maximize the profit of selling both. Premium becomes the gouging price and often if you want fresh produce the organic selection wont accommodate you. Not the case here. This store does not have people buying the non organic selection in lieu of the organic. So as the price on an organic item becomes more compelling the volume drastically increases. That ultimately will make it more standard price. It costs almost nothing to try the flavor of the organic version of what you eat. You might be shocked and never regret the price even reducing what you spend by simply eating much less with greater health and incomparable pleasure. I dont however think that organic potatoes should be irrigated and hope that they are not. That means more potato less water per pound, healthier french fries, more nutrition. Its on my list of things to Google at some point LOL.
Great little place to pick up hard to find items.
Well stocked, fresh produce, vitamin/health section excellent variety, staff very friendly, knowledgeable and helpful! The little gramma in the vitamin department was is second to none, she REALLY knows her stuff!!!
I just went in there to get my granddaughter a gift card because she is a vegan vegetarian and the store looks like its got a lot of good things for her
Our favorite place to grocery shop, amazing customer service, friendly & knowledgeable staff. They always have the best meat alternatives and special ingredients that we are looking for. Also really great produce selections!
Love this store but the prices are always so much higher for the same brands at other stores.
Clean, bring your own bag.Ashleys nice staff
This little hole in the wall has hard to find items. I especially like the prepackaged bulk area. I found horseradish powder, very hard to find. They also have more delicate bulk items that are refrigerated. Found so many things I needed! Also vegan convenience tv dinners added easy more plentiful here! I love being able to get the items I want at decent prices and feeling good about the company I am buying them from.
It was a bit busier than usual but everyone was good about keeping their distance. Employees are always very nice.
Cleaning and Social distancing is done perfectly here, while you shop for all your natural needs.
Produce is so fresh, the employees are really nice. Everyone had masks on and I felt safe
Very pleasant. Lots of vegan tasty snacks and frozen meals.
Helpful and clean!!
The store is neat and fully stocked. Good prices. I was having difficulties during checkout. My cashier, Amber, was awesome! So professional, kind and helpful.
Im so glad I found this place! Organic foods. Gluten free. Pretty reasonable prices. Lots of variety. Fruits and veggies are fresh. Wheelchair accessible with handicapped parking. Everything from honey to meat. Nice staff, also. They dont hover over you, but are easy to find if you need help. Either take your own bags/boxes, or you can buy reusable bags. Boxes are also available. No plastic to fill our landfills.Large variety of shelled nuts. I bought a pound of shelled walnuts for $5.99. They were fresh and delicious.
Everyone is go friendly and helpful. The young lady who greets you at the entrance (Sarayah) is so sweet and had a beautiful smile.
Highly satisfied!! I always find what I need and the cost is very reasonable. The GF bread was with $1 less than Sprouts and the organic Italian parsley was almost $1 less than Safeway.
Staff is so nice
They helped me find what I was looking for.
It was okay at this groceey store. Things were over priced and the staff followed me around like it 2as russia and i was wanted by the kgb, but other than that it was nice
Very friendly and caring staff and store manager! I recently moved here and wasn’t sure if Natural Grocers had everything I needed, but, yes, they did. In addition to a great variety of produce and products, they also have very reasonable prices. Highly recommend!
I love shopping here! All fresh fruit & vegetables are organic. Its a lot cheaper than Sprouts and Whole Foods. And everyone is friendly/helpful who work there.
Love this little gem of a grocery store. Tucked away in the eastside and has all the creative and inventive food items and personal wellness care.I buy my beard balm there.They also have a great selection of beverages that are like .75 cents and totally original flavors
This is actually probably the best natural grocers in Tucson, you going to find out that the cleaner in larger than most of the others
A good store for vitamins and herbal remedies.
Nothing new to add but what others are saying. Hands down the best store in town. Love the fresh produce and hard to get items. you may not find the best prices for everything but great experience overall. The energy in the store is also very good with good customer service.
Delicious deli options and fresh produce. Helpful staff. Highly recommend.
Went for the first time, and fell in love. I am on a very restricted sodium diet for medical reasons and they had so much there I could have. I got so excited and a staff member even got into trying to find stuff for me to have. He was awesome!! Most stores and their employees kinda say oh that sucks and run the other way. Very clean, will organized store. Its is very pricey on some items, so just know what your getting and what you would normally pay. I also got produce that was on sale. am not a huge person on organic produce, but we got some apples and they were the absolute best I have had hands down,(and being from Southern California, I generally think most of the produce that we get here in Tucson stinks very few exceptions) so major kudos to their produce department and manager!! They also had things, that I had seen online, that I could have,, but no other store in Tucson carries. So LOVE this place!! The cashier was also awesome!! we got discussing that it was our first trip to the store and my restrictions and he thought of at least five to six other things off the top of his head, that I had missed, that he thought I could have and was willing to go grab all of them if I wanted him to,,, but being the store was already past closing I said I would look when I came back the next time. It was just a great experience all around!!
20% sale going on for facial and hair products.
Pricey but good choices on healthy foods...and employees very friendly and helpful!
Great store and great prices compaired to Sprouts.
This is the best store in Tucson if youre looking for clearly superior organic and/or natural products, knowledge and service. They offer better prices without a doubt and I SHOP for what I get for my dollar. The staff is great, its old time service all the way. Cant recommend this store more highly...
Went to grab some vegetables to make a avocado salad
Excellent selection for everyone! I appreciate that they have a discounted produce section toward the front of the store for those in need of a hefty price break. And a clearance section in the back(many people arent aware of this), behind the supplement aisles. The staff members are helpful and often knowledgeable about the products they carry. They also have a very nice classroom for educational classes they offer to the public. Great place!
Great store. Organic foods of all kinds.
Fast in and out, knowledgeable staff! Large selection and very good prices. I will continue to shop here with confidence that I purchased a quality product. They have a very nice organic produce selection. Suzanne W.
Only place I shop the standards of quality for clean eating and living are far above the standards of any grocer in town and the discounts on member pricing is always a bonus especially on the eggs
Best place to shop for organic produce. Great quality and prices. Large selection of vitamin supplements. Overall great place. They even have a nutritional health coach and do free classes on various topics. Love it here.
Very good service 👏
Really big variety of organic healthy foods. Will for sure make another visite to take another look
Lots of interesting new products to try. Really enjoyed this place. Especially For vegans they have lots of great stuff
Awesome store! I just moved here so Im glad to have found it. It is close to my new home and Everyone is Friendly and Very helpful. The prices are also very reasonable.
Fills its niche perfectly. Found Berberine supplement for blood sugar control that is new to me. Their sprouted grain white bread is very good.Prices are reasonable and affordable. Actually low enough to shop weekly.
The variety of healthy foods to choose from is my favorite thing about this store. Every location has a great inventory. There is a great supply of gluten free and dairy free foods. The staff is helpful and friendly.
Very fresh produce and all organic.They have a three station R.O. water dispenser. This makes it very convenient to refill multiple containers at once.
This has become my first stop for groceries and health care supplies. Great staff! I love that they repurpose boxes the products arrive in as substitutes for shopping bags. When I dont bring enough reusable bags, the staff has a great talent for finding just the right box.
Great produce, great vegan selection and great homeopathic section. On Wednesday you can get last weeks sales as well as the coming weeks sales! The deli attendants and butchers are very helpful. Great selection of bulk items.
Great selection of vitamins, supplements and organic produce. The staff is friendly and helpful.
The reason I am writing this is to spread the word that they are cheaper than you think. Several items I have found here cheaper than Spouts or Whole Foods. I for some reason always assumed the opposite. So check it out. Might be good for you.
Love this store! It smells like the essential oil diffusers they have turned on when you walk in. They have a great selection of allergy friendly foods including dairy free cheese, Paleo, vegan, gluten free items and organic produce! They have free classes throughout the month and give out free reusable bags on Earth day!
We love Natural Grocers! We almost always find what were looking for. Amazing, 100% organic produce. Great sales daily.
Very helpful staff. Very well stocked. A pleasure to visit.
Very friendly staff and not so hectic. Always helpful and to my surprise it is not too expensive. The fruit and vegetables look always yummy.
Great place for organic veggies and supplements,produce way more affordable than WM, however they dont want to carry some supplements like Graviola, Really? I was disappointed! Other than that i would give them 5 stars
Produce is best in Tucson. Lettuce is incredible. Great staff, great store.
They have the freshest organic produce. Customer service is excellent. We go there once a week.
Amazing grocery store with three Cons and two plus Pros.PROS:: 1: You can come to a Nutritionist for your health! You could call now to set up an appointment!2: Great prices and mostly there supplements are cheaper than Ebay and Amazon !! They have amazing snacks to choose from! They sell a heavy duty delicious organic burrito for 2.50/75 !!!! ....ETC.CONS:: 1: SUGAR is in practically everything sold here!! Please people call these companies and tell them you want sugar-free options!. This is truly a bummer.2.Please Nature Grocers support a Natural company for handsoap!! Kimberly Clark is NOT an organic wholesome company to support since she makes toxic perfumes soaps.Does she? I thought she did?3. Please Nature Grocers LOWER your organic produce since the same thing sold at your grocery is sold organic elsewhere cheaper!!I buy the ginger root from you though.
The items are safe. Everything I need for the recipes that I use from The Allergy Solution, by Leo Garland, MD is there. They are just wonderful people, just like being back in a good old fashioned grocery store. Bring a bag or buy one for a $1 donation.My kind of place!
Great place for groceries, kind and helpful people.
Pricy, but in this life, you could die for cheap or spend good money on your health. Sometimes, for some items, its a good price. I buy pantry items here because anything perishable is not affordable.
Love this store, the selection is great. Clean store, BUT one of the customers was walking around with their dog, clearly not any sort of service dog. Seriously, everything else was great about this store, but that one little fact. I may or may not return.
Love this place. Bulk herbs are cheap.
Prices to high just not a fan
Great staff and amazing range of organic natural foods and vitamins. I can find every sort of organic produce, grains and spices. I do not consider this grocer to be anymore expensive than other grocery stores. If you want and seek organic food this is the place to go.
Great selection. Friendly staff. Only place in town where I can get my lavender water. :)
Great selection. Staff has improved over the past year. Initially they were soooooooooooooo slow at checkout. Great store though
Lots of supplements and packaged health food items but very small produce and fresh food options. Disappointing. I expected more fresh food from a natural grocery. Staff was friendly and helpful.
The staff is friendly and helpful. The product selection and pricing are great! Best place to shop if youre vegan!
Updated to 5 stars now that I understand the store and lay out
Good selection of organic foods and the prices are competitive.
Helpful people and great selection of vitamins, produce, and all things natural:) just remember to bring your own grocery sacks.
Its like a giant snack store where all the snacks are good for you. Strange. Nice and quiet place though. Make sure you bring a bag for your purchases or a bag will be your final purchase.
I do not typically write a review. However, my experience with the employee by the name of Miles has been nothing less than atrocious. He never greets me, never tells me the price of my groceries, breathes heavily when I am in his line, rolls his eyes, and never tells me about any promotions. I have been nothing but friendly to him and have had very positive experiences with the other workers at NG. Today was the third time he has done it, all the while giving above average customer service to the other patrons in front of me. I would hate to think that this is racially motivated but, I cannot help but think this way. I patron Natural Grocers every week. I choose where I spend my money, wisely. This is really unfortunate that I have to leave such a negative review. I hope something is done, however, I dont think I will be back to this location.
I was very pleased until I was placed in a very bad shopping experience by one of its very own employees. She even told me that it was my responsibility to confirm the proper egg price was being rang up. It went on from there. Since this occurrence I have not returned and I used to shop here many times throughout the week. Very disappointed. I will no longer refer anyone. I will order Amazon and shop sprouts etc.
Its like New Life Health Food Stores had a rebirth
Fair trade coffee love buzz my favorite
I hope they stay with us. Less expensive than Whole Foods and Sprouts and a really nice and knowledgeable staff. Their location doesnt have high visibility so I worry that they wont be seen or tried by other customers. Stay with us, please.
Love this place. Lots of organic foods. A little pricey compared to some but the bulk spices are where its at. Waaaay cheaper and better quality then anywhere else
Great store and very friendly staff members.
