Natural Food Patch

I've been coming here for a while, primarily for sustainable beauty products and snacks. Although parking can be a bit of a hassle (as the store is right downtown) there's paid (and some free) street parking if you're willing to walk a few minutes. I really appreciate the diversity of their goods, which spans from larger brands (JASÖN, Tom's) to smaller or local brands. The prices are very reasonable and most of the time everything is in stock. Beauty-wise they have everything from alcohol-free witch hazel toner to chlorophyll supplements (and also an entire aisle of essential oils). There is also an impressive selection of raw or fragrance-free skincare at wholesale prices. I can't speak much about the staff; I don't interact much with others when I shop for what I need, but they have never given me a negative experience. Check this place out if you're looking to buy from small businesses, accommodate a dietary restriction, or clean up your health regimen!

This is a really good store, great product line, the prices are very reasonable and they tend to be stocked very well, I do have to agree with a couple of the other comments though, I never find the staff particularly friendly, there’s a couple that are fairly nice but the majority of them are just kind of exist and kind of look at you, not in a bad way but they just have no emotion. Other than that the store is fabulous, I’ve been shopping here for many years and will continue to do so.

I'm a big nutrition and health advocate. But I never shop at "The Patch" anymore. Why? Because there are too many "packed goods" where we can easily just save a lot of money on alternatives that are simpler and healthier. For example, I can either buy a $7 spray to clean vegetables or wash them with water, or even inexpensive vinegar type solutions. Or I can simply buy "cleaner foods" that are more organic and pesticide-herbicide free. Another example is the multitude of supplements. Firstly, they are often cheaper if you shop around (check Amazon first). Secondly, we can often do better by purchasing whole foods. "The Patch" is overstocked (by shelfspace) with packaged goods and minimally stocked with fresh fruits and vegetables. Sugar is sugar and fat is fat, and fast carbs are fast carbs, whether organic or not. That's why I don't shop at "The Patch" anymore. Most groceries offer more whole foods and even more healthy organic options. MHO ;)
