Olive May Natural Foods

The staff is knowledgeable courteous and they literally have everything Health wise even if you have to get it in a suppliment. The prices are higher than what you might pay for regular food. However they do not sell regular food! Their foods are natural and organic which costs more to processed. I thought at first I would never be able to afford this food...but then I gave up entermen's cakes and other overly processed foods that were hurting me anyway. I then realized that I had a lot more money for healthier foods it's worth it your health is worth it we have to find out what's most important to you we spend a lot of money on things that are important to us and if your health is not important to you then by the junk food but if your health is important to you shop it out of May buy little by little

I am committed to supporting local businesses. However, at this place, there is a high cost to do so. Overpriced place although the owner speaks of their effort to bring 'high quality' products and thus the price. Unless these products are specifically made for them with quality of ingredients not available to their competitors, they are the same products you get at other stores (VitaminShoppe, etc) and the markup is unethical. They are all unfriendly - let us not mention the older man- you have a business because of customers (Business 101) - customer service includes and not limited to being approachable. It is my hope that they will revisit their business model for the coming year -

Maybe the last significant independent health food store in the area. Will order products for you if not carried in-store. Knowledgeable staff and pretty extensive inventory, considering store size. I appreciate having this option. Whole Foods has forced many others to close, and if a product line doesn't accept WF terms and conditions, they stop carrying it. Olive May listens to customers. It's worth sometimes higher prices to help keep them in business.

Too expensive. Overpriced. Yes people should afford their health needs and prioritize their spending for wellness but that's not for these guys to decide. I bought a powder there for $32 that's online for $15!!! Everywhere online at that. For a rush order it's still cheaper. Granted it's a Mecca for East Orange but enough rallying and another competitor can come right on and provide the same wisdom, fairer prices. They're more than Whole Foods. And so what they're smaller - bulk buying, etc. Rent in E.O. is cheap, their overhead isn't ridiculous the pricing is. We're not dirt poor in this down but dammit we ain't rich either.
