Health Markets in Albany, NY

“Eclectic alternative to typical grocery store/supermarket experience. Extensive product selection, although you might not recognize the brands. Many opportunities to but bulk, organic, local, and in season. I mean, like they have a fresh brewed Kumbacha bar. Need I say more?”

“Huge selection. Like another reviewer said, the bulk bins are spectacular. They are a throwback to old markets where you would buy your beans and grains and other dry goods out of big containers. Something I used to see occasionally as a child. I bought navy beans here, which I actually had a hard time finding in my local supermarkets. They have a bunch of nifty sections if you want to make your own... Well pretty much anything. There's yeast and kombucha and all kinds of raw and fermented stuff. Huge selection in a small store Now the bad part: if you were looking to spend $200 on groceries that you can carry out in one hand, this is certainly your place, you will have no problem doing that, and a huge selection to choose from. It seems like most of the food quality is a cut above, especially for cheeses and specialty items. However, I can't imagine people shopping here for their daily needs We had a lovely cashier named Val, I am sure we could be good friends! She asked me if we were members of the co-op, and when I asked her what was involved with that, it was a $100 yearly fee and a three hour orientation to become a member. I really admire the people who are committed to such things, but it's just a bit much for me. Happy to go there sometimes to get some specialty items though. One more thing: quite nice and interesting plant selection. Surprising in a little market, but they had all sorts of little cactus and succulents and other plans, really nice little stuff.”

“Faithful customer for nearly 20yrs. Mary is amazing! Thoughtful selection at a great value. I come here for all my health needs and advice. Thank you for everything!”

“I do most of my shopping elsewhere, but there are a few things that Whole Foods have that no one else in the area carries. Also, they have a great selection of fresh fruit that can't be beat. Have started getting meat from the deli as they have kids of tasty options that don't require any prep, which makes life easier. And the prices are reasonable, even on specialty or unusual items, which is nice.”

“I sent an email to Netrition, thinking someone will get back to me soon, I hope. Well someone did, very quickly and very nice. Answered all my questions, thanks, you have a new customer!”
