A lot of silly petty low star reviews here which shed little light on how special Lifethyme is! Not only one of the only remaining independently owned and operated health food stores in lower manhattan, their baked goods deparment is absolutely divine! From clean raw vegan cakes to sprouted buckwheat granola (no added sugar) I ride my bike here all the way from Williamsburg to support this business and acquire items not easily found elsewhere. Don’t be misled this is a solid 4.5 star establishment!
Always check your receipt! This place is well known for charging more at the register than what it says on the shelf! Especially sale items... which they'll say "oh, I don't know what happened, it must not've gotten changed in the system" like it's never happened before. But after years of shopping here I've learned to check my receipts and every single time I shop there (not much anymore bc this place is so unpleasant on so many levels) I've been over charged. And they never apologize. They mess up the price and then they get angry at the customer for wanting the price it says on the shelf. The employees here are mostly miserable, especially the droopy looking brunette woman who is so nasty, she must really hate her life. Shop here if you want to get overcharged, yelled at by the employees and leave feeling like humanity is awful.
Love their wide selection of non-dairy foods. They have delicious vegan slices of cake and their coconut yogurt is delicious too.
An absolute OG NYC gem that has a great selection for any type of dietary preference and a team of true characters! My personal favorites are their incredible house-made soups as well as vegan gluten-free cakes and desserts. So good!
I bought supplements for $ 212 in this store, one of them was opened, the protective shell was torn off, I called the support service and asked them to send me either a refund or an exchange, he told that I should come and bring this product. I explained that I can’t bring it to the store because the store is 1 hour away from me and it’s just 7,5$ supplement, it will cost me more to get there, the man just hung up. very bad customer service, sorry but never again.
I love this store. Old school co-ops vibes. Great variety of products and wellness supplies. Prepared food is hit or miss depending on your tastes, I really like some of it. Shopped and ate here for years when living near by. Certainly my favorite health food store in NYC.
I used to shop there sometimes until I was utterly disappointed recently. Ground venison has been expired a week before. Packed chicken was leaking and didn’t look good either. But the worst part was when I saw a mold on a rye bread🤢 Unacceptable! Especially for the highly rated store.
