They have clearly labeled vegan wine!!!! I've never seen that before. They also have 2 lbs bags of nooch and so many other vegan staples. I LOVE THIS PLACE!!!! it's a vegan paradise and they have non-food items like multivitamins, cook books, toothpaste, silicone reusable bags, etc. They also have a low-waste section where you can refill your coffee using reusable containers.

This used to be a place I shopped weekly, sometimes more than once a week to grab something off the hot bar or salad bar. Admittedly, I haven't been here since early 2020, pre-pandemic. I think tonight was my first time back since then. Not living in the city and then simply just getting out of the habit of driving 25 mins to come here. However, I was really disappointed to see that the MTO, hot bar and salad bar were completely gone. No one spoke or seemed happy to be there until checkout where both at checkout were friendly. ET's has never been a bargain place but 12.99 for a pint of organic, not local, not biodynamic blueberries? That's outrageous. So I led with the disappointments but here's their saving grace-if you're vegan-you're going to find pretty much anything you'd want here. If you're looking for something a little unique, this is your place. Bulk items also set them apart from others. They also carry more local items than anywhere else so they aid in supporting our community and the small businesses that provide product to them. Their vegan gf ginger cookie is still the bees knees. I didn't see the vegan carrot cake tonight and if that's gone too-it's a sad day. Shop the sales, bulk items, and local goods.

Talk about being treated like crap when all I wanted to was work, Tammy idk if she's still there but apparently a few of my family members havent gone back to Elwood's because of how rude she is. Definitely don't apply to the stocking department because unfortunately Tammy is power hungry and just not a thoughtful person of her employees. Maybe it was just me idk but I never did anything in order for her to blow up on me in front of other girls to make me look bad.

This is Richmond's local Whole Foods. I love Ellwood Thompson's. I don't normally do my grocery shopping here because it's a bit pricey, but if you want some incredible local and natural goods with farmers market feels, this is a wonderful place for you. On my recent visit, I came to buy some organic and natural wines for incredible prices. They have a section with these wines that are under $15. I was amazed to find one of my favorite bottle's of wine for half the price I normally pay for it. The people that work here are incredible. I appreciate that employees can wear buttons with their pronouns. They do have a single stall bathroom too. I highly recommend checking out Ellwood Thompson's for affordable natural and organic wines.

Always amazing, colorful, fresh local produce, protein and provisions. Tasty and healthy food. Great cafe. Amazing store culture. The most pleasant grocery shopping experience for a reviewer who isn’t even a huge fan of grocery runs.

Fresh, organic produce. Best bulk section including olive oils, honey, dry goods, granola, nut mixes, as well as soaps, shampoo, you name it! AND you can get eggs in bulk and reduce packaging. OMG.

They might be pricey on some things but I love their vegetarian and vegan options in their grab and go section. They have a delightful selection of craft beers from all around. And a really nice selection of all kinds of veggies in their produce area. It's a special treat when I run in when I'm in the area

I love going down there to Ellwood and Thompson. I love the atmosphere. All of the cashiers are so friendly. I love the food down there hot food, cold food. The chicken is so good I love the curry salad wrap with the apples, raisins, celery I don't really like the peanuts in it but that's OK still the best and they're cake desserts made without flour is very nice. I also like their chocolate cake, which is no other chocolate cake in the world like it because it is like a fudge chocolate cake so good. And they're onions is the size of a small basketball everything...... little expensive but well worth it.

Imagine if Trader Joe’s and Fresh market had a baby! Great place, and great customer service. We had sushi and sandwich’s. Great spots to eat inside and out!

Great selection for an independent health food store. Hope they bring the hot bar and salad bar back. They were so good. But if not, its still worth shopping at. Prices are a little high but so is every non-amazon health food store.If you eat vegan and gf, be sure to pick up a piece of the sweet potato cheesecake. It's insanely good.

Elwood Thompson’s is undeniably a very successful local market catering to the community since 1989 and merits the name Organic Foods. Shopping here could be a bit pricey, but proves to be the best decision for health and well-being. I absolutely recommend shopping here. Beyond food items, there is an apothecary as well as organic handcrafts. One stop shopping for all.

Lovely store with friendly staff. Sat outside to enjoy our snacks and a lovely employee, Kitty, overheard us mention the table we were at was a little dirty (normal outside table kinda thing) and appeared with sanitizer and a cloth to help us out. 10/10 will come here again!

Ellwood Thompson's holds a special place in my heart, stemming from childhood memories. My father has been a loyal customer for over 20 years and would often bring my siblings and me along on his visits. As kids, we always looked forward to picking out our favorite healthy snacks from their diverse selection. Now that I've grown, my appreciation for Ellwood Thompson's has evolved. I genuinely admire their commitment to sourcing local produce, nurturing a bond between the farm and our tables. It's not just about the products, though. The staff here is consistently friendly, knowledgeable, and eager to assist. Ellwood's is more than just a store; it's a community pillar that has enriched many lives, mine included. Highly recommend!
