Natural Grocers

I could spend hours in this place. I love this store. I find the customer service is excellent.

Very clean, friendly staff, some items are a little overpriced but overall they are very reasonable. Great for buying anything in bulk especially spices.

They never answer their phone, or so it seems. Have called several times, sometimes very late in the day when they should be less busy.
Also, seems like their prices keep going up and up. Pretty soon, they will be just like Whole Paycheck (that is, Whole Foods) for high prices.

Very informed staff at this location. Love the selection as always although it can be rather pricey.

Liked this store! Good selection with fair pricing. Friendly service. Will be back for sure.

I love this place! Amazing selection of rare items you can’t get just anywhere. I love their cosmetic and beauty products as well as their vast selection of hippie approved foods. They have really good customer service, although the last few times I came in they were either too busy to approach me or maybe they have seen me there so many times they know I’m familiar with the store and know where everything is. Excellent staff and clean store. I frequent often.

They had what I was looking for but I was also reminded why u rarely shop there. Perhaps the corporate culture demands lithium usage but I just see it a rudeness.

This is a medium sized Natural Grocers with a nice selection of produce, food, beauty products and supplements. Very clean, very bright, lots of nice staff, an excellent store.

Back in town for a visit and of course I went to Natural Grocers, because it is my favorite place to shop.. The employees are very helpful and I love the Pure Coconut Almond milk in the dairy section. I also got some great make up there and love it, (MINERAL FUSION) I wish there was a Natural Grocers close to me.

Great place! The best customer service around. The store selection is not as big as a huge chain store, but everything there is very thoroughly high quality, so you can rest assured that you’re making good choices.
I’ve even made a price list and the prices here are lower (sometimes significantly!) than Whole Foods.

I’ve stopped in here a few times and I’m amazed by two things, What they have in this little cottage and the fact everyone who works here, knows where everything is.
Example:
«Do you have Beet Juice?»
«Yes, and we have beet Root juice and powder beet root, right over here…»
Hell, I can’t even find all my socks in the dryer.

Have you ever spent a significant time living in Europe? Returning to US supermarkets and grocery stores are an overwhelming experience, at least for me. Natural Grocers makes me feel more comfortable. They’re small, but carry a wide range of products. Even the wide range feels small; there’s never an overwhelming amount of any particular product type. Everything is well organized and categorized with good signage.
I also like Natural Grocers because they always have good sales going on. Also, their bottled water and Clif Bar beat many other comparable stores’ prices. They also carry other products, like Oskri bars, you may not see anywhere else or have only seen in Europe.

This Natural Grocer location is easy to get to. There was a lot of parking available mid-​morning during the week. I was in the vitamin area and an employee asked me if I needed help, and actually knew of what I wanted and where to find it. My daughter and I wandered around the store, looking at the stuff they had. One thing that I did notice (because I was looking out for it), is that they had their coconut oil in 2 or 3 different places throughout the store. It makes comparing prices a little more difficult.
The staff were friendly and the store was clean. We’ll be back.

I just have to say again, I love this Natural Grocers. They have so many things that I can eat or cook with. I am a GF, sugar free, dairy free, diet sugar free, no red meat eater. I have to compliment the staff again. They let me special order my tea and gave me a discount for doing so. What a wonderful business. Support local businesses.

Natural Grocers AKA Vitamin Cottage is the most affordable natural /​organic /​chemical free food anywhere, bar none. No, they are not fancy like Whole Foods and thank goodness. They do pack a whole bunch into a small area though and their sales are out of this world. Whenever I move, I make sure to get on their mailing list again. Natural Grocers past flyers have given away free food, grocery bags, and vitamins.
What I especially like is that I don’t have to read labels. If it’s on their shelf, they’ve already done the work to make sure it’s chemical free — no MSG, no HFCS, no partially or fully hydrogenation, no artificial anything.
If I really want to know something about vitamins and supplements, I go straight to Vitamin Cottage. Pick anyone working in their vitamin department and you have someone who has clearly studied up and knows the facts. Not only that, most all who work here also shop here, so they’ve tried many of the products already. If they don’t like how something works or don’t agree with what the product claims, they tell you.
Most refreshing is how non robotic /​corporate /​cog in the system this place is. People who both shop here and work here have personalities and are laid back. So lovely.
This is my main squeeze — very rarely do I stray. Whole Foods does have more gourmet options and offers fancy foo-​foo, which is nice to splurge on now and then. But for the everyday I-​need-​to-​run-​to-​the-​store-​for-​something-​quickly, this is where you’ll find me.

Great store and very very helpful staff. You’ve got to appreciate the number of employees! The current staff is amazing. Prices on vitamins and supplements are very competitive. Sale prices are usually fantastic.
Support this CO owned business.

The people are always so friendly and helpful. Produce always looks great.
My 10 year old daughter loves to hang out and smell all the lotions and soaps. My son loves to help us pick out the produce and food. Honey sticks are his favorite.
When I shop here I know I’m getting natural and organic food items. At Whole Foods, I have to be careful to read all the ingredients.
I think Vitamin Cottage started out on Ellsworth or something in Cherry Creek.

Was looking for raspberry leaf but they only sell it by the bulk there which was ok, but I would have liked to try a smaller selection of the leaf not in a tea bag.

I had a great first experience here. Although I wouldn’t shop here for everything on my grocery list, I may have to start shopping here for my produce and meat. What an attractive selection!
I’m always nervous shopping at places such as this, Sunflower and Whole Foods. Sometimes I get that feeling like I’m not trendy or granola enough to shop at these places — almost like people can stare through your soul and see that toxic twinkie you ate 5 years ago. I didn’t feel any judgment stares here. In fact, I had three different employees approach me and ask if I needed assistance. Luckily, I did need the help and they were very very helpful. I wouldn’t mind fitting this place in to my grocery shopping routine.
Note: If you’re a Vitamin Cottage noob like I was, they do not supply grocery bags at check out. Don’t forget to bring your own!

Perhaps I’m not Natural Grocers’ ideal customer. Because I agree wholeheartedly with Alden C’s review below. I was expecting (Largely due to their obnoxious television commercials) a NATURAL GROCERY store. (Hence: Natural Grocers. And does it bother anyone else the way she says «Grow-​SHhhhhhursh» in the commercials? CRIKEY!) And like Alden C below says, this is a Vitamin Store. Their meat selection consists of a small reach-​in freezer, and their produce is lacking in selection and quality and high in price. That is the gist of their «Grocery» selection. Everything else is Vitamins. (Hence: Vitamin Cottage. So drop the «Natural Grocers» and save the confusion.)
Also: This place was downright dingy. It had a funky smell, and the floors were actually dirty.
Lastly (and completely unrelated to my rating)… Maybe nix that Sock Hop attempt at dancing you do in the latest TV Spot, honey. No matter how much plastic surg… I mean, how many VITAMINS you gobble, you’re not still 16. And it’s not 1955 anymore.
