Lifethyme Market - New York City

I love this store. Old school co-ops vibes. Great variety of products and wellness supplies. Prepared food is hit or miss depending on your tastes, I really like some of it. Shopped and ate here for years when living near by. Certainly my favorite health food store in NYC.

I have been shopping at the store since it opened and have always been a fan. But today I bought chicken salad that tasted kind of off and so after my third bite I looked at it more carefully and it was packed on December 30. That’s really old. Hope I don’t get food poisoning. I don’t really understand how that could still be out and available for people to buy. yes, if I had been shopping more carefully, I could’ve looked at the date. It just makes me lose trust in a store that I have always loved.

Great store a lot of unique items which can only be found here. Reasonable prices, but the selection is awesome. Staff is very friendly and helpful as well!!

I tried to do a special order for some expensive olive oil,as I had done many years ago,but they were unable to get the same individual to help me that I had worked with before.I had appreciated being treated so well by that individual that it wouldn’t be the same ordering without that caliber of treatment.I had a very positive experience with the store and always wish to remember that.

Hello there Jason B., there is no need to refund me for anything. I appreciate that I was able to park my bags at no extra cost, that was truly gracious of the establishment to allow me that privilege. Though, my complaint was never with the establishment, it was with my experience with Michal at the register.And I do appreciate you pointing out that there is a charge for the bag, I was unaware of that. So I am thanking you for pointing that out. I did not know what Michal was doing on their side, I wasn 't thinking about it at the time of the transaction, and I had no issue with being asked to run the card 2 or 3 times. Those are all normal interactions that occur several times throughout one 's day, and therefore should not be on any individual 's radar for things that provoke one to assess another as having a race based biased. Michal is clearly not telling you what he/she/they said, how they said it, and they are also not telling you that the statement that I made as I left was, I 'm sorry I upset you. Actually, I may have said it twice if I recall. Because Michal was CLEARLY upset and I wasn 't sure if it was about to have some kind of breakdown. He/she/they were literally shaking. And this is the reason that everyone was looking at me. Because I 'm sure it was quite awkward the CUSTOMER apologizing for being on the receiving end of mistreatment while the cashier is throwing attitude like I stepped on his/her/their toes somehow.Don 't take my word for it though, ask them all! You got them on surveillance, ask each and every one of them. They will tell you.The experience left me feeling so down that I actually apologized to Michal for Michal 's terrible journey that day, that led him/her/they to the exact moment that he/she/they felt the need to try their best to ruin mine.At the end of the day I do appreciate the establishment 's effort to address that one issue. As I mentioned, outside of that one interaction, I have always shopped at Lifethyme with no complaints.
