I finally made it to this store!
I love it .
I had a friendly, knowledgeable young lady help me on the floor, and a very polite cashier helped me with my purchases.
I can't wait to go back and support a small business & the owners!

I recently made an online purchase from them and they not only shipped my items and processed them fast.... but they packaged the items in a nice little box so that they weren't hurt during shipping and also included a handwritten note along with my order.
Definitely a nice personal touch!

Best place for all your high quality supplements and prime cuts of meat and tallow, etc. Adaptogenic mushrooms etc etc. they have everything. Staff are also very knowledgeable about every single product that they carry, which is super rare and impressive. They even have some select clothing and skin care stuff that somehow fits in with all the niche health food stock. I got here once a month to stock up on the health essentials. ;)
I frequently recommend that patients and friends check this place out. They offer a well curated collection of health oriented products that are often difficult to find elsewhere, and I always find the staff helpful and friendly. I also especially appreciate how generous they are with their free samples. :)

This is one of the friendliest health stores I’ve been to. It’s filled with great brands and great prices. The staff is so helpful and knowledgable and I always leave feeling more confident and in charge of my health.

Health Essentials is the number one health and wellness supplement and food store in Victoria BC. The owners and their knowledgeable, friendly staff are always helpful and welcoming.
Awesome place. Super helpful, patient, knowledgeable. And when I bought the wrong size shoes, exchange was completely hassle free. Also the best place in Victoria to try on barefoot style shoes as they have a great variety. I recommend this place to everyone.

My favourite shop for all things health and wellness. Friendly, knowledgeable staff are always available with a willingness to find what you need or bring in, if possible. Health Essentials is also the best place to find gifts for all occasions, I love putting together Christmas care packages for family here each year.
Purchased a defective garment and tried to return it the following day. Apparently they don't stand with their customers, I now have to deal with the company on my own time
Love the shop and all the healthy selection. Have no idea how they stay in business but I hope their here long into the future. Coffee and muffin is still a great deal.

The variety in this store was beautiful! I never went before until I needed truffle oil and I was in the area. I will go again! The only sad thing is the grocery prices but that's everywhere! Wheelchair accessible, friendly for all families and well layed out in my opinion

By all standards, this is the best place to shop for quality and variety. They are highly organized and customer service oriented.

The front end staff were pleasant. But I literally had to walk around the store 3 times, obviously looking for something with my empty basket. I was not greeted, let alone offered any assistance. Plus, they didn't carry the one product I went there for.

So much fresh organic produce for very good prices comparable to anywhere else in Victoria. The reason one star is missing is because they sell animal products which is upsetting to see as animal products come from animal cruelty. I enjoy seeing their vegan products and am happy to see other vegans (animal lovers) shopping there. The employees are extremely kind, helpful, respectful and intelligent. This is my favourite grocery store in Victoria mainly because of the employees, I hope they are payed well because they deserve it with their wonderful service and welcoming energies.

Love this store. We don't have one In Campbell River so I was in love. I'm now obsessed with the good soap bar the minty one to be exact. I wish I could get it here. And great selection of spring waters and beautiful produce.

One of my very favorite places. Great selection of produce and shelf-stable health foods, and a supplement department full of knowledgeable staff. The store is clean, cheery, and well-organized, and there's always something beautiful to look at in the nook the base of the ramp.

What truly sets Lifestyle Markets apart is the knowledgeable and friendly staff who genuinely care about promoting health and wellness. The Supplement Managers expertise in nutrition and health is exceptional, and he’s always willing to offer guidance and recommendations. I’ve been shopping at this store for years. This store is my go-to destination for all things health-related.

The store is nice but the employees are not always. The cashier once threw a bag of cilantro at me and I had to catch it above my head. They are rude when the card tap doesn't work th first time, and the loss prevention workers are always glaring, following, and getting in your personal space. I spend hundreds of dollars per week at this store but still get followed aggressively by the loss prevention workers. It's an uncomfortable experience and I'm looking for an alternative option for my grocery shopping now.

I trust shopping for my quality health and wholesome grocery produce at Lifestyle’s Market for so many reasons! Words can't describe the ambiance of a distinguished Market for wellbeing. Always knowledgeable & always helpful staff will advise on products and direct me kindly to what I am seeking. This day I specifically came to shop for organic vegetables and Bulk Nuts, wow was I pleased with the selection!

Good quality products, great selection, service and knowledgeable staff! I have shopped at this store for many years and would highly recommend this store.

Pricing is also Competitive :)

Grocery management is horrendously abusive towards staff and clientele. Owners could care less about staff, or customers. Rampant workplace abuse, worker exploitation, many cases of ageism, and ableism. Would not recommend supporting this business as it is run by shallow money hungry people, who enable and act in very harmful ways to the community as a whole. The staff turn-over rate is very high, for a reason. There are few management with honest and good morale there, I feel very sad for the individuals who stay there because of the hefty discounts they offer if employed there. It does not justify staying in such a mentally, and emotionally abusive work environment. I have seen management publicly humiliate/abuse disabled workers, yelling and throwing items at them for asking a simple question, and dismissing/belittling disabled and elderly customers. Management constantly projects anger onto staff. Surprised this place hasn't been chastised by now, I know the staff fear speaking out/don't due to fear of it being misaddressed, as in the past these issues were swept under the rug. They ended up unionizing, because of the workplace abuse, little to nothing has been done.
We came here while in Victoria for a short holiday. This is a great place to buy good food.

If you want to get organic food then this is the place. It is a big store, probably just as big as the one in Vancouver at Cambie and 8th.

The meat is free of additives or organic.

There is a big deli section and hot meals. We often go to the Vancouver store to get good quality cooked meals when we don’t feel like cooking. There are eating areas as well where you can eat or have a coffee.

Prices are competitive. Some items are less expensive than at other big box grocery stores. They often have sales. Those prices will be hard to beat. Vitamins and supplements go on sale couple times a year.

The staff very helpful and knowledgeable. I just find them friendly and reliable.
Just had a great experience! Kindly and friendly salespersons found everything I was looking for. Not only that but they had something I had been looking for for quite some time. Thank you for carrying Amy’s Chili again. Appreciate the earlier opening hours as well. The staff here are the best!
Great selection, very clean, lots of vegan items. You can park underground or outside. Cashiers are really nice. There is a bathroom you can use as well. Pretty large store. They carry Very Good Butchers items, vegan salmon, vegan croissants, vegan cheeses, and a bunch of other things. Pretty well stocked.
