I had to pop into Optimum really quickly to pick something up for my sister. I wish I had more time to browse what they had, and I was excited that they had a little tea shop attached. I also want to check that out a little more. I was asked if I needed help finding something, and when I showed the picture to the employee, she knew exactly where it was. Everyone in that store was friendly and willing to help. Since it’s so close to my house, I will be sure to stop in there again! I’d love to see what else they have to offer, and to also pick up some tea. Stay tuned for another review!

I live across the street from this store so it is convenient but I am at the point where I will now make the journey to planet organic or any other competitor for my needs as I find every time I go into the store I have had to ask for assistance in finding what I am looking for. The sales staff are pretentious and condescending. I can get the items I need elsewhere without being treated poorly. These people have no idea what I do and it appears to me they are working in retail so I am not sure where they get their attitude.

A health store, natural apothecary and organic spa in one! I get almost all of my skincare and herbal products from here. They carry some of the top natural skincare lines such as Eminence, Dr. Hauschka, Suki and The Body Deli. Kolya Naturals, which is located inside, offers fantastic 2 hour organic facials and various other spa services. The staff is well educated on all the products and take the time to answer your questions thoroughly. Earth’s Aromatique, also located inside, has a wide array of hydrosols, oils, herbs, and supplies for DIY projects. They also offer regular workshops. The prices of vitamins and health food are a bit more than what you’d find at other places. If you are into holistic health and beauty, you will find some great products here.

Great little store to shop for vitamins, supplements and occassionally skin care. Whenever I shop here, it feels like I am doing a good thing by supporting a local business. For such a small store, Optimum Health is nicely stocked. They carry products from well-known brands such as Sisu, Naka(their Vital Greens liquid is amazing) and Natural Factors. Here I discovered Dr. Hauschka skin care for the first time. When I came in looking for green tea, the lovely sales associate directed me towards Japanese green tea with roasted brown rice, and now it is a must-have in my pantry. Although Optimum Health at Oliver Square is a lot smaller than the one at Southside adjacent to Kolya Day spa, I frequent this locaton nonetheless. When I am ready to do some major shopping, Southside Optimum Health is the way to go.

When I first started learning about all of the organic, non-chemical options for my health and beauty care I came to Optimum. They have aisles of high-quality supplements, hair and facial products that are chemical and additive free. I started going to their Oliver Square location first, which is at 11646104 Ave. It’s smaller and I like the staff. They’re very knowledgeable and don’t try to push anything on you. They also offer a loyalty card so you can discount after 10 purchases. I’ve come back again and again, because I know they’ll help me to make an informed decision and not gloss over information or health benefits. I later discovered this south side location and was amazed at the size. it has a café and day spa as well. The smaller location is more convenient for me, but the larger one has a great vibe, especially with lots of like-minded souls sipping their Rooibus in the café.
