Taste Organic

When I moved to North Sydney I was delighted to find an organic store so close to home. I worked for a well known organic beauty store in London for a few years so am always interested to see how we compare in oz on this front. In terms of organic beauty Taste have a decent range — Dr Hauschka, Weleda, Trilogy, Suki to name but a few. They have some men’s ranges, plenty of natural soaps, hair dyes, pamper products and baby care skin care.
Beyond beauty they have a fantastic range of health foods. I’ve bought gluten free baking powder, lentil pasta, sprouted bread, coconut yoghurt, seaweed snacks, organic teas, coffees and chocolate — pretty much anything you can think of that Wholefoods might have these guys do too. The difference is, though the shelves are most certainly full, it doesn’t feel crammed or stuffy in here.
As well as packaged goods there is also a decent selection of fresh organic fruit and veg. It’s obviously more expensive than supermarket produce but it tastes more alive.
There is a fairly energetic come feisty in-​house naturapath in store there most days who is a wealth of information and pretty good at sales (my personal trainer sister walked out with four treatments for her dermatitis). There is a fairly good range of vitamin and minerals.
The staff are gentle, sweet and helpful. If you fancy a fresh organic fair trade juice or coffee they can whip one up for you to enjoy on the tables and chairs outside. Mind you, this right on Falcon Street so the car fumes don’t bode well for your organic snack — unless it goes straight down the hatchet, that is.
Parking available underground on the premises.
