| - If you are looking for organic, heathy, vegan, vegetarian, dairy-free, kosher, etc this store will probably have it.
There is a great variety of prepared foods. They make their own butter, hummus, bread, sushi, lentil salads, etc. There is a cafe upstairs also with similar items.
It seems like all the veggies are organic, and you won't necessarily find items that are not in season (for example, they have mangoes but not nectarines). I also didn't notice many items that seemed locally grown, although I could have missed the signs, but I know the Heinen's always has signs to point this out.
Huge variety of cleaning, bath and personal care products that deemed themselves all-natural (like toothbrushes recycled from yogurt cups).
Most impressive (to me) was the dairy and refrigerated section. Yogurt, ice cream, and desserts made from coconut milk! Ice cream made from Hemp Milk! Lots of frozen/refrigerated meals to make it easier to be a vegan/vegetarian.
Of course, it's not cheap. And the kind of products that you'd find in Giant Eagle were significanly more expensive here (like Newman's own spaghetti sauce for $2 more than you'd see it at Wal-Mart).
But still, a good option. They also have a half priced bread/bakery rack where I got some very delicious bread with no preservatives. Yum!
