It is very nice to have a natural grocer in the area but it is a little pricey. Some of the same brands they have at the smiths up the street in The natural section and are much cheaper. Same goes for the organic produce. As far as the rest of the stuff goes it is comparable to sprouts and Whole Foods but is more convenient as far as location. Now for expiration dates- There have been several occasions where I've noticed it was the same day as the expiration date. The bread on the shelves I've bought only to find mold when I got home or it molded in a couple of days. I now look at the dates or ask them if they have a fresher loaf in the back. Same goes for the milk. The staff is incredibly friendly and knowledgeable though!
