Natural Grocers — Local services in Boulder

This is a store I used to love. I used to be able to come in and easily find a week's worth of groceries to make all my meals, but alas now I can't do all of my shopping here anymore and I need to go to Whole Foods or King Soopers.

The store has aisles and aisles of cookies, potato chips, candy bars, milled flours (highly processed), sodas, and fruit juices. But try to find real food and you'll often come up short. It's like going into a 7-11 or other convenience store, but with "natural" emblazoned on more of the products (as if their sodas and cookies are somehow healthier here) and the other customers are still all wearing Covid masks for some reason.

Even one of the main draws-- the ability to find foods and products here that you can't get anywhere else-- has slipped away. I'd wager I can get just about everything here at King Soopers and/or Whole Foods. It feels like they've just given up on seeking out small, unknown manufacturers and products.

So, not able to find even half of my grocery list today, I put back the one, sad bakery loaf of bread I could find and headed over to Whole Foods. A woman smiled at me from beneath her mask as I walked out-- the only bright spot on the visit to this store today. This is a store that has actually completely lost its...

Update I don’t shop here as much as I used to. The prices have gone up drastically and continue to. They’ve also no longer carry lot of products that I purchase. I don’t know who the manager is now but they don’t seem to ever be at the store. The previous manager was around a lot and easy to talk to. The bathrooms now are not cleaned regularly. I’ve been shopping at natural grocers for over a decade so it’s sad to see this location in such poor shape.

We've been shopping here for years, well before they moved to their new location. It is our favorite store because it has the greatest selection of the products we buy... and the produce is usually great quality. I have not had any issues with the staff likes some reviewers have stated. All the cashiers especially have been very nice. I feel like this is the easiest in-and-out and less stressful place to shop. I am disabled and I appreciate that they have lots of handicap parking right near the store. That’s the way it should be, but sadly many other stores in Boulder are not as accessible. So thank you for being respectful and inclusive to the...

I love Natural Grocers. Reading their origin story inspires me. I can feel the values of health and quality whenever I shop there. I appreciate the size of the store making it easy to do all my shopping without having to trek a mile from one end to the next. I love the atmosphere. The people who work there are almost always friendly, kind, and knowledgeable about the products. My favorite unique feature to Natural Grocers is the priority for Organic and seasonal produce and the focus on not creating waste with plastic/paper bags and plastic produce bags. The use of boxes makes soooo much sense and I wish more stores would take this approach.

Lastly, I appreciate Natural Grocers prices. While all health food stores are a little more pricey than King Supers or Safeway, I feel Natural Grocers prices are much more affordable than Whole Foods or some of my other favorite smaller grocery stores in town.

I am truly very grateful for you Natural Grocers....
