Nature's Emporium

I have been visiting natures emporium for years and always look forward to seeing Iba, the very kind, helpful and friendly woman at the cash. I always look for her to go in her line :). She's always smiling, is fast and efficient, and always takes the time to ask how I'm doing. She listens with a genuine curiousity while she quickly, and accurately, scans all the items. Oh I almost forgot to mention that she very often has a suggestion for DELICIOUS snacks for me to add to my cart :). It's so wonderful to see someone who's so committed to providing awesome customer service. Thank you Iba, I appreciate you so much!!

I always love shopping here. They have an amazing variety and selection of organic and healthy options

I am so disappointed in my visit to nature's emporium. I am all about the health, clean, holistic way of living but this was just a worst whole foods for me. Maybe it's interesting to Newmarket citizens but from someone who moved here from the city, this was very mediocre to me.

Don't get me wrong- it's not BAD as a store.
They have a lot of samples out for shoppers and lots of different types of cheese! They have a sheep cheese with truffle, which was absolutely delightful.
A lot of their merchandise and stock are carried by whole foods, farm boy and other smaller shops as well. The thing is- it's not cheaper here; if anything, I think it's even pricier.
I just didn't get great, clean vibes here.

I made my purchase, drove home and ended up being disappointed out of 2/3 of my purchases. My califa farms creamer had its seal broken, and my lee ghee was expired. On top of everything, I opted for no receipt so it would've been way too much trouble to drive all the way back and try to argue this.

Sigh. I wrote them a note that afternoon seeing if I could amend this somehow and never got a response. What's the point of having a contact form for each store? Freaking New York fries answers customer complaints faster than this.

Am not returning because of bad service and no follow up. I'll stick to whole foods, and when farm boy comes to Newmarket, I'm sure this place will lose even more customers.

We visited this location a few weeks ago and had a really positive experience. We called and asked an employee to put the items we wanted at the customer service desk since we didn't want to be in the store for a long time during corona virus. The employee got us all of our items.

As we entered the store an employee greeted us and asked if we would like him to give us gloves or a disinfectant wipe for our hands and cart. We chose the gloves and our shopping experience was very pleasant. The store was fully stocked and it wasn't too busy. We purchase everything the other store didn't include in our online shopping delivery.

I really enjoyed walking through the store to see which gluten and dairy free items they had. They had everything I needed and they even had all natural containers of wipes.

This place has become my goto place for grocery shopping. This supermarket sell a lot of organic products and it has a wide variety of organic goods selection especially organic vegetables and meat. I used to go Longo's for grocery but with limited selection for organic goods, Nature's Emporium has becomes my default place to shop, especially vegetable, fruit and meat. Of course the price is abit higher than non organic goods but I think this place has the most variety and cheaper price to buy organic goods in my "neighbourhood", eg. When comparing to Frank's Organic Garden.

However, when comparing to Ambrosia Natural Food, Natures Emporium has lesser selection for dry goods/boxed drinks, eg, less selection of organic non dairy drink such as Hemp milk/almond milk ... or nut/flour... I am not saying Nature's Emporium doesn't sell them but if you are picky about your selection about organic dry goods or non dairy drink product, you will have a bigger chance finding it in Ambrosia. For example, I cannot find coconut milk yogurt in Nature emporium but I can find Ambrosia... however, Ambrosia has lesser selection for organic vegetables and fruit. I wish there is also a Ambrosia around so I can easily go to two place for my needs ... one for veggie and one for dry goods :)

All in all, Nature's Emporium is an awesome place to do grocery shopping with great friendly service and the place is large and clean!

Great place. Some customers are rude and have that i am elite attitude which seems to make staff grumpy at times. Especially during covid19. Before covid the place was 5 star. Now dropped a star. Covid has changed people. The stress and the pain in the rear attitude many ppl have with Rich economic status The elite always think they are better and they deserve more. They like to treat others like servants or slaves. You can see that in the store with many pain in the butt customers. Typically the babybommer generation. The generation that broke the world.
In conclusion the store is great. Staff is great until the arrogant rude selfish self entitled customers ruin their day. Then u have grumpy staff and rude customers.

Try to go in off peak times.

Today was my first visit to Nature's Emporium for their breakfast bar.

Nature's emporium is a natural food store that also serves fresh food, coffee, teas, has fresh baked goods, soups, etc. Sort of a healthy grocery store with vitamins and fresh food, and more.

I stopped in today to try out their breakfast buffet. It is my first time. I typically have my favourites that I go to.

The food was very good. I came in at 830 am, so the buffet had just been put out.

There were lots of choices, oatmeal, eggs, bacon, sausage, keilbosa, potatoes, fruit, etc.

They also had a cook onsite running an omelette and crepe bar.

The food was very fresh. I quite enjoyed my breakfast.

The food is charged based on weight, and you can have as much or little as you want. Mine hit a hefty $18, but too be fair, I was at a sleep study and didn't really sleep well, so I needed a large breakfast to get me through the day.

Fortunately, Nature's Emporium goes out of their way to cater to people with food issues. I must eat strictly gluten free, and I have to avoid most grains as well. There was an abundance of food, and the chef was an interesting fellow just looking to provide the best food experience that he could.

They have the breakfast buffet on Friday, Saturdays, and Sundays. They have a card that allows you to get a free meal after every 10 meals ($15 value).

A great meal and a very pleasant experience.

PS don't expect fine china: paper plates and metal cutlery, and you can take it away with you as well.

Tried to go there today. I saw 3 maskless people from the entrance. I turned around and left.

I often go here for speciality items not found in most grocery stores. The store is always in good order. The staff is always super helpful and most congenial. I don't shop there regularly because for me the prices are too high. For those that have food issues or simply want to eat healthier this is the place to shop.

Shop here if you enjoy overpriced food and anti maskers. We used to love shopping and eating at natures. We knew the food was overpriced but great healthy organic ingredients. Recently it's lost it allure. Managers catering to anti maskers. This place has lost its way.
