I'm at the Carrot so much that I sort of feel wierd about reviewing it...like I'm reviewing a family member or something. Anyway, the place is way more personable than Whole Foods and way more organized than most smaller health food groceries with a pretty great selection of goods. Great bread section and real good soups at the prepared food counter. Prices can be a little steep but if you're patient and come often enough you can catch some pretty good deals.
They've got a reverse osmosis water filtration machine for those who like to get their own water and a 18L water bottle can be filled for $2.60. Once you've tasted reverse osmosified you can not go back.
