Evergreen Natural Foods

So the stars are for the two older men who work here as they’re funny and friendly as well as offering help and remembering people names. The Asian women who work here are so uninterested and have never even cracked a smirk let alone a smile. The blonde girl is relatively friendly and efficient check out. Awesome selection of products are really good prices (sell cheaper on most items that you could also find at shoppers next door) and a great selection of bulk. It seems like they have every tea in the world and I’m sure any ailment they’ve got the solution. A good discount section in the back by the cereals and chips. Lots of fresh made meals delivered I believe daily. And delicious coconut milk icecream pints or almond milk gelato. I am in love with their chocolate selection (salted dark chocolate anyone ?! Camino by far the best brand) and one last thing I am hoping to try the Dead Sea mud mask by the cash so if anyone has reviews for that pass em on !

I love this place. Really friendly and helpful owners. They have a great selection of products and everything is very reasonably priced… I haven’t found better deals elsewhere. They have a great bulk food section too. A perfect example of how a small business should be run.

Love this place. Have shopped here off and on for a few years, more since our local health food store closed last year. They always have everything I’m looking for, and at better prices than just about anywhere. I just bought some fish oil, last time I bought it at a different store it was almost $ 50, they have it for $ 30-​something! Wow. Never going anywhere else again.

I love this health food store the staff are sweet and knowledgable, they provide an abundance of healthy food options and they always manage to find what I am looking for in my recipes!
I would recommend this place to everyone!

I am a big fan of Giddy Yoyo and Evergreen is one of the few places that has these elusive chocolate bars. But so far this is the only store I’ve seen that has all the flavors I wanted. They have more variety than the other stores too. The owner was extremely helpful and very friendly. He even gave me a deal because I bought 5 of these delicious babies. Even if he didn’t give me the deal, he sells it at a way cheaper price than other retailers. Will definitely be coming back!

When I moved to this neighbourhood from Roncesvalles I was happy to find out that Evergreen had another location in this neighbourhood. (I know they had another location I just never asked where it was).
They have great brands at reasonable prices and are knowledgeable and helpful. If they don’t carry it they will look into it and try and get it for you. If they are out of stalk they usually get it within a week for you. They are very friendly and personable. They know what products I usually get and If I need something they always recommend things I am happy with. I have been a loyal customer of Evergreen for almost 20 years and will continue to be.

vast selection, very helpful/​knowledgeable staff, very reasonable prices…

This has been a neighbourhood staple for years; staff have always been friendly and helpful, and the selection is excellent (and expanding).
Besides a wide variety of groceries and snacks (including prepared foods), there are vitamins, supplements, personal grooming and household products etc. You really could shop for everything here, although as with most stores who cater to health– and planet-​conscious customers, products are not always budget-​friendly.

Evergreen is a solid health food store with tons of great brands, lots of variety and a fabulous owner who will go out of his way to help you find anything or order it for you. There aren’t many small local businesses left with this sort of selection and commitment to customer service, anymore.
I used to live in the neighbourhood and I miss this amazing store. I used to shop there even when I wasn’t looking for «health food» because their veggies were always fresh and their selection of international foodstuffs rivals Loblaws down the street.
Please keep up the great work, Evergreen. You have many loyal fans and customers!

Why don’t more people come here?
I only just discovered this place by walking past it (it is very unassuming) and right by St. Clair West station.
The prices are excellent for vitamins, at least AS CHEAP as in Kensington but I found some pills that are $ 15 cheaper than the lowest price at Tutti Frutti in Kensington.
Excellent store, friendly owner, great selection of vitamins, a staggering array of Bob’s Red Mill products as well as natural cleaning/​baby products (properly priced too).
I’d definitely come back.

An invaluable service to the neighbourhood. Evergreen has everything natural — supplements, personal care products, fresh foods, tinned and dry foods, spices, health products, even milk. Pricing isn’t terrible either. The only thing keeping this review from being a five is the rotating stock. After weeks of carrying a particular brand, it disappears. Very happy to be a customer.

This store has a wonderful assortment of essential oils. Three different types of jasmine alone!

I feel incredibly lucky to have Evergreen in my neighbourhood. Hands-​down one of the best natural food stores in the city. The store isn’t very big and the aisles can be cramped, It’s definitely one of the cheapest (Tutti Frutti in Kensington is marginally cheaper, but has half the selection.)
The other thing that draws people back to this store? The co-​owner Harry. The man knows EVERYTHING when it comes to holistic health and remedies. He will always recommend the best remedies for whatever you need.
The man also has a mind like a steel trap, remembering customer’s names and previous purchases and conversations you’ve had with him.
My only minor issue: the stock can be inconsistent sometimes. Items can disappear from shelves for months before showing up again. I don’t know if it’s because they’re a small store and get shafted by suppliers more easily. But I’ve made special order requests to Harry in the past, and he usually comes through.

I have lived in this neighbourhood a long time and have been shopping here a long time.
The owner and staff are incredibly attentive and helpful.
They have a huge variety of everything from gluten free products and pasta to vitamins to cereal to organic foods.
I try not to take pills and meds when I’m sick and this place has yet to steer me wrong.
You know what else, best prices I’ve seen.

One of the most plentifully stocked natural food stores I have ever seen! The staff is wonderful (particularly the male owner although I don’t know his name) and there are plenty of unique products to choose from. There is also a prepared foods section with all kinds of baked goods from vegan, gluten-​free bakeries around the city. They also have a nice selection of fresh soups, roti rolls, baked (and fried) samosas and vegan sushi. Yum. 3 thumbs up for this place (extra thumb for customer service).

Great selection, good prices, super helpful staff (especially the owner).

Great prices, great selection and great staff. The guy who runs it is really nice and everything he’s recommended for my various ailments have worked quite well.
Forget Whole Foods! Come here instead.

This is my go-​to health food store.
They have a great array of products (read: Earth Balance vegan cheese, it’s impossible to find in this city!) from fresh, dry and frozen food, to cleaning products, personal care and homeopathic remedies. Unlike most health food stores I’ve been to, which look like drug fronts and stock maybe 5 cans of organic tomato soup, the aisles are jam packed with almost anything you could ever need.
The best thing about this place is the service. The service is friendly and helpful, and at least a couple of people who work there are also licensed naturopaths, so they know their stuff. Did you know that if you take Oil of Oregano, you also need to take probiotics? The internet isn’t full of correct and complete information! Shocking!
My best example: three days before our wedding, my head was exploding due to a sudden sinus infection. Panicked, I ran to the store and assured the person behind the counter that I would do ANYTHING to fix it in three days. She gave me an intense cocktail of homeopathic sinus pills, eucalyptus neti pot treatments, oil of oregano drops and probiotics. In three days, the sinus infection, which usually takes at least a week to run its course, was GONE and I was able to go through that crazy day without feeling like I had rocks in my face.
A-​mazing.

I’m a bit surprised I’m the first to write a review for this nice little natural foods store right across from St. Clair West station/​Loblaws. It’s not really a destination but great if you live in the neighborhood.
Evergreen is a straight-​up health food store with decent prices (much more reasonable then the Health shop at Yonge St. Clair.) Nice sized section of bulk basics, vitamins, dairy, hygiene/​beauty and packaged stuff. $ 2 almond milk and cheap grains is a plus.
The guy who runs the store and his staff are extremely helpful and will assist in finding everything you need with a smile, which works out well because the store is a bit cramped and can be tricky to track everything down if you’re in a hurry. Really though, are there any health stores that aren’t packed and a bit disorganized?
