Whole Earth Center is a locally owned health food store that offers a wide variety of high-quality, organic produce, nutritional supplements, and health supplies. Customers appreciate the knowledgeable and friendly staff who are attentive and willing to help. The store features a small frozen foods section, dairy section, and store-made takeout foods, including deli options with vegan choices, soups, breads, and cookies. They also carry a separate vegan dairy cooler, bulk spices, and some unusual natural products, home care items, and cosmetics. The store is a community gathering spot, where regular customers feel welcomed and valued, enjoying the chance to eat healthfully through their own offerings and local farmers markets. The store's produce is 100% organic with abundant selection and top quality, and their gluten-free baked goods are well-liked. However, some customers find their prices to be too high, making healthy shopping less accessible. The store's small, cozy layout features narrow aisles and a lively atmosphere where customers can hear the crunch of granola. Parking is available, and discounts are offered for students and seniors. Despite occasional issues like a bathroom closure, Whole Earth Center is seen as an essential part of the community dedicated to health and well-being.
If it's natural, they got it, from food to make up & everything else you could want. A bit expensive but it saves you from looking online & waiting. Staff are always helpful. Like every other store in princeton, it needs more parking. It is one of Princeton's jewels.

Whole Earth has the highest quality organic produce in the area. If you are looking for healthy fresh food, this is the place to get it. They also minimally use plastic, so that is a plus for the environment. If you bring containers from home, they have scales that will weigh your empty container.

They have the most well researched and best quality organic products I've ever seen in an offline store. And they are environmentally conscious at that! I really like eating at their deli and buying groceries at their store.
