High Vibe

The workers are pretty horrible. I feel like they treat every minority who enters the place as criminals, although each visit i spend over 40 dollars, since its sooo expensive BUT I do LOVE some of the speciality items are simply delicious. However, i try to limit the amount of times i go there these days

I really like this store, large variety and stock for a small place and very helpful service. I came here looking for, Mucuna Powder which I couldn’t find at Wholefoods or other health stores. They had it and more. I told the sales woman about my skin/​hair dryness and she recommended a product they make called, Shine. These 2 powders are now part of my daily routine and have helped me a lot. I will keep coming here and try new things.

This place is rad. They carry tons of amazing raw foods, herbs, dried fruits, body care products, books, etc. The people working there are always super friendly and helpful (and they always have amazing samples behind the desk). Definitely worth a visit if you’re health-​minded :)

Their d3 5000iu works. I had blood work done and my D3 level is 45.3. I am mostly vegan, once in a while I will eat yogurt. I don’t eat eggs and I cannot have any dairy. So the D3 I bought from them actually works. I have been taking this D3 since February this year. I took it daily until recently. They are pricey because of the K1 or K2. I am happy to know I haven’t been wasting my money.

I like this place but am frequently disappointed by the quality of customer service. In my experience the staff has come off as uninterested and not particularly knowledgable about the products. Example: I called to ask if they carried a specific brand of sunscreen and was told that they did. I proceeded to arrive 20 minutes later and was told the didn’t have it.
Me: But I literally just called here and you said you had it
Guy: Oh that wasn’t me some guy just left.
REALLY THOUGH???

Love this place! Awesome people!

Great resource for those so inclined, with a wide selection including Tree Nut Cheese and some other esoteric items.

This place is just lovely. I stopped in here after work yesterday and picked up some dried mango slices, some sprouted hummus and a vanilla bean health bar to start with. The two guys working there were very lovely and welcoming, offering me a taste of what they had open behind the desk. In this case it was dehydrated strawberries steeped first in fruit juice which was out of this world. My mango slices were also perfectly delicious and will be a great office snack or dessert. The spouted hummus was also excellent and I know my hummus. It’s less rich and creamy than some traditionally cooked hummus but lighter on the stomach and very delicious. They have a lot of books that I could have lost myself in for hours… But I’ll save that for he next time since I will most certainly be back soon. If you’re reading his, thank you!

Absolutely essential store. Lots of great casual advice on healthy living given in a warm extended family type atmosphere. I’ve been going for years and it never disappoints!

A small health and herbal market in LES. In hopes for scented potpourri, disappointingly, High Vibe do not have. However, they have sage and incense which emits strong acrid odors but are not lightly fragrant as potpourri. They carry thyme and many herbs, physical and mental health books on how to live happier and a fuller life. I did not see any lavender though as it symbolizes protection. However, my main visit as I highly desired fragrance oil diffuser with sticks as a natural means of freshening my home bathroom.
Despite of not carrying my two coveted items, nevertheless, High Vibe does emit a high vibe of good service, personal, attentive, and friendly of all things resonate small business. A two person staff who are knowledgeable and not abrasive to be pushy sales people unlike large retail shops. Their business cards also serve as a bookmark.

as a lover of raw/​vegan/​gluten free/​natural food, this was like 7^th heaven. The store is filled with unique items that I haven’t seen else where. Friendly staff who offered me samples of some of their foods. The sun dried tomato raw hummus, was quite possibly the greatest hummus I have ever tasted!
some other highlights include apple juice infused dried cranberries, and dried thyme Peruvian olives.
And if you want to get FUNKY, they sell vegan cheese (cashew nut based) :-)
They also sell health/​food related books!
Highly Recommended!

You can find food, supplements, books, juicers, cleanses, and other health products. Plus the staff is friendly, knowledgable and helpful without being pushy.

Fantastic owner. So helpful and great energy here. Come here for yummy snacks with your raw food lifestyle.

The guy with the tattoo was super friendly. Offered me the dried fruit — obsessed with the raw organic strawberry. I also bought the guava. Coming back for more things…

If you live live in NYC — if you’re a RAW foodie — this is the place for you. It’s not a big store, but in NYC style, it’s packed full — so take your time and look around. From delectable raw food treats, to hard-​to-​find supplements, to basic ingredients to make your own raw food, smoothies, and treats, High Vibe is The SOURCE. The best raw powdered cacao anywhere, the best sun-​dried tomatoes, apples, strawberries, gojis, the freshest nuts and seeds — the food here is a step above. And don’t forget to look in the freezer for raw ice cream, coconut meat, and delicious coconut water. The best staff anywhere, helpful, knowledgable, kind. A day without High Vibe just doesn’t feel right. Thanks again High Vibe!
This store is truly a gift. I’ve been raw since 1986 and having High Vibe in the East Village makes it so much easier, and tastier. Finally!

Again, found this place on Unilocal.Have I mentioned how FREAKING useful this site is? There was the most adorable dog wandering about the premises and I was given a bunch of samples to try before I bought some gorgeous raw chocolate biscuits (half price!)
If I lived in NYC I would be here every day. As it is, I will come every time I visit: D
Hehe. Also met the owner who was so pleased that I was using Unilocal — we had some small-​business-​managering bonding and then I told him he was doing a great job! lol

HOLY CRAP — new favorite place. It’s taken me a long time to go here but I’m glad I finally decided to stop in.
Cheapest kelp noodles in town (so far) — Live Live they’re like $ 10, Organic Avenue $ 7, but at High Vibe…$ 6. Magical. I personally love this place because it has lots of hard to find things at reasonable prices.
Bee pollen? They have 3 sizes. Coconut meat (frozen)? They have that. Kelp noodles and seaweed, check. Lots of other raw desserts and goodies, honey, crackers, you name it. Also, super friendly staff — the woman working there was so so nice and offered me a bunch of samples without trying to sell me too hard on anything (though I did end up buying this AMAZING delicious garlic dip she had me try).
I wouldn’t really call this a grocery store, more just like a specialty health food store. It’s definitely going to be my new go-​to resource for hard to find stuff, and also a fun place to try new things! I could have spent hours in there looking around. I’m definitely making myself a regular here.

I came here about an hour ago to pick up some groceries as I give my new raw vegan diet a spin. The proprietress was incredibly friendly and helpful, offering me samples of products, and giving me suggestions. Her cute black dog (lab mix?) was also really friendly, and I definitely got quite a nice vibe from being in the shop, as the namesake would suggest.
Prices are pretty decent, though raw vegan foods tend to be pricier than their non-​raw counterparts. Nevertheless, I got a couple of raw vegan cereal items that for under $ 10 each. Not too shabby. There’s also one section of the store devoted to «cookbooks» and the raw vegan lifestyle.
Would definitely recommend anybody who is starting on a raw vegan diet to swing by here.

By far one of the best places in the city with out a doubt!!! And the service is always great!!! They have products that no one in the city has like the raw pizza crust.
I love this place

The raw vegan mecca.
Seriously.
This place has so many wonderful, delicious looking raw things begging to be tried, from 10+ flavors of dried kale to raw sauerkraut to raw oreo-​like cookies to rawmesan sprinkle. Rawmesan. Dig that name!
Prices are decent, $ 8 for 10 servings of Chia Seed Meal (basically like a porridge), same for a package of 9 of the aforementioned cookies. Supplements are reasonable as well.
I haven’t ventured much beyond the raw kraut as far as the refrigerated cases in the back go, but those look promising, Wraps? Check. Raw tahini? Check. Desserts? Double check!
They also stock what I’m assuming is every book imaginable on attaining a raw lifestyle. I wish they had a library so I could simply check them out and return them. Alas…
The shopkeepers (I’m assuming at least one is an owner) are as nice as can be. Helpful, tranquil, friendly. This place is kinda rocking my world right now.
