Best breakfast in town ! Add to that breakfast for vegan , vegetarian , organic , allergic and more! Out door seating If you walk w/your dog! Dog friendly !! Crystal loves the organic vegetarian dog food!
I live in LA now and lived in NYC for years; this is still one of my favorite stores for vegan-friendly groceries . Local tofu + beer ; Miyoko's vegan cheese ; an amazing hot bar . They set the bar high.
Great hot bar dining for special dietary restrictions! Our little allergic baby was born vegan .. So ET's is an easy fix for lunch !
😍 LOVE this place! Local produce , an amazing holistic health and well-being section. Wish I could afford to shop here regularly! The employees are friendly , welcoming, and hospitable .
Customer discount if you walk or bike to the store. You can also get another discount if you bring in reusable bags for your groceries .
My best guy friend loves one of the mini bottles of Almond Breeze in the drink cooler mixed with two of the RAW Protein single serve packets. Also, the Greens Supreme II juice is absolutely delicious.
Very healthy eats, really awesome natural grocery vibe. Ate at The Beet Diner just inside and listened to some live bluegrass music .
Love shopping and buying local - wish they'd get their costs down, easily a 20% premium over same products in other stores. No comparison online. Tim's deodorant - $7 in store, $7 for 6 pack on amazon
Think globally buy locally! They have tons of alternative options for gluten free , flour free and vegan . I love this place and will be back often
The tofu salad at the deli is amazing & only $4.99/lb! Also you can buy san pell soda by the case here. The hot bar is good but sometimes should be called the lukewarm bar .
$3 off coupon for RAW Protein tubs right now! And the tubs are already on sale. Plus the little packets of hemp hearts are delicious on the go and added to yogurt !
Best produce, not to pricey , I mean you get what you pay for here which is locally sourced fresh and organic produce .
You must try Soy Delights Tofu Chicken Nuggets and don't forget the Vegan Ranch . Both are to die for. They sell out, go early.
The curried chicken salad wrap is fantastic. If they don't have one premade they can make you one- build your own wrap for only 5.99!
One of my go-to places for gluten-free food. They carry Rudi's bread , probably the best brand of gluten-free bread .
Love their variety of vegan and organic options , both prepared and frozen.
Another Ellwoods expansion coming soon! If you miss Ellwood's Cafe , don't worry, they're going to incorporate the cafe into ET once the remodel is finished! (Coming Feb 2012)
Love Ellwood Thompson's is great! Love the organic foods , soaps everything! Great place!
They carry my favorite local tofu (twin oaks) and have several local honeys available.
Breakfast bar is 7.99/lb. it's not hard to fill your plate with bacon and eggs for $5. Free wifi for looking up the health benefits of a high fat diet: gratis.
Blood orange sorbet and i even saw Whiskey & pecan ice cream . A little pricey but i might have to try it!
Bakery section is full with allergen friendly options!!! Vegan desserts everywhere!!
Best place to find fresh local produce and health food in the dowtown area!
Amazing breakfast bar (try the veg gravy ) and the chai kombucha is to die for!
If the parking lot is packed and crazy when you get there please please please follow the arrows. It's slightly annoying but really keeps congestion down.
Love shopping here...safe bet for healthy alternatives and natural food.
It was really great . We ate dinner there and did some shopping. Great pricing.
Great and the juices mmmmmmm a little hard to get used to, but overall its great.
Vegan cheeses and ice cream !
Coffee bar now open for lattes , espresso and tea . Juice bar open too.
This is a conscious eater's paradise.... The largest selection I've seen anywhere in the country , by far!!
Awesome place. Try the lemon cookies from the bakery !
A little bastion of hope in a beautiful but wasteful and largely uninformed world
Okay, I get the whole healthy bit. But this place is seriously over priced. I bought these Chia seeds that retail for $2 less than the manufacturer in Richmond. That's 20% mark up. Got to a local mkt
Ellwood Thompson Market is one of the best places to buy fresh Blanchard's Coffee in Richmond!
Samosas . Hot Ethiopian Buffet . Hot Indian Buffet . Do them all.
One of the best places to pick up fresh roasted Blanchard's coffee--best coffee in RVA
Pro tip: park in the satellite lot and take the shuttle over.
The restrooms in the back closely resemble the restrooms in a roadside gas station . Only use if you absolutely have to go.
Buy your spices and seasonings from the bulk sections and save!
Great selection of coconut water lately. We love the kind in the glass bottle with the green label.
So many vegan choices on the hot bar , yum!
Check the craft beer section - often gets hard to find new releases.
If they still have it, try the salmon with the roasted tomatoes , raisins and cardamon (warm, lemony, sweet and fresh herb ).
Great place to do some grocery shopping if you're vegan or looking for some organic food .
Look for terrariums for sale in the produce department. These make a delightful gift .
Bring your growlers . You can now fill them here!
Vegan hot wings in the hot bar were great.
Awesome salad bar ! Add some nutritional yeast for a super tasty salad .
Try the coconut pie !
My fav is the lobster & shrimp salad and all their baked goods! - Lakeshia Tinsley
Love Libbie Market, we can pick up dinner here at least once a week. Great rotisserie chicken and they have the delicious duchess potatoes that Ukrops used to have. - Chris Reed
Great ribs are even available for breakfast. Goes great with eggs - Go Girl Taxicab
Seafood department is the best. Very friendly and knowledgeable staff. - Brian Artis
call in your order for faster service, delicious burgers and they're huge! - kristindownie
This is the only store in town that carries Rakı Turkish Liquor. - Adam Socki
