Reviews of Edible Island Whole Foods Market (Fruit Store)

Eliza Ross

Awesome service. Ladies in there love to give advice/ help with any questions. Good selection and not bad on the wallet.

Erin Robertson

Expensive..too healthy..lol

Carmie Dixon

Awesome store. All types of natural products, organic produce, friendly staff and clean store.

Fawn Beckwith

Reasonable selection, difficult to maintain any physical distancing, and a difficult space for those who experience sensory overload. Would recommend going during off-peak shopping times for those with sensory issues.

Lianna Schaad

Staff are very helpful, always know where something is and can answer your questions throughly about products. I recently have gone back to being gluten free and I had questions about certain products and how they tasted, etc, and the young women helping me was amazing! Great selection of GF, vegan, vegetarian, and dairy free options and not too bad of prices. Some things I won't get due to price, but I understand these select options can be more costly. Returning as a customer through covid I have felt very safe and welcomed every time I am in the store. :)

Dawne S

Organic, earth friendly, cruelty free products. Staff are really helpful, I wanted a product that was sold out, they took my name and number and said they would hold one for me when the shipment came in. They did! Definitely going the extra mile for customers!

Josh

A good amount of selection, though quite pricy compared to similar stores in other communities-- even more remote communities like Powell River which has a couple shops similar to Edible Island. It's the only place locally that sells a good amount of the natural products I use, so I'm sort of bound to shop here. That being said, the cashiers are friendly and helpful. the only real problem I have is the prices.

Stoyan Petrov

Very friendly personal!

Laura Carolina

Wide range of products and lots of good-looking, organic, fresh produce. Several local Vancouver Island and Gulf Islands products. Plenty for vegans. Covid protocols in place.

eleanor dsantos

The staff there are awesome and are very knowledgeable about their items

Laura Isaacs

Good selection, friendly staff. They carry a few of my favorite products that are hard to find elsewhere.

David Turner

Always friendly staff!

Ron Taylor

Friendly & helpful staff, good produce, with a large selection of herbal teas and remedies. Easy to park for quick visits.

Prices higher but typical for organic stuff. Great selection of vitamins and such products. Easy parking.

Mo Moshiri

Quintessential health food store with some surprises.

Ailsa Cuffwright

Helpful service and healthy foods, galore. Lots packed into this health food store including produce, frozen, dry goods, vitamins, beauty, household and bulk food items. We wish it was bigger ~ with it being the only health-food store, sometimes stock runs low, but nice knowledgeable staff will place orders for you.

Amber Allen

Great selection of organic foods and supplements.

Dave Alex

This store could easily be a five star rating if its prices were not so over the top. For those that can afford it, it is a five star. The staff are very knowledgeable about whole foods and organic processes. It is very pleasing to see that they feature a vast inventory of local, BC and Canadian foods and beverages.

Roland Schoenke

Lots of good products, helpful staff

I was at the edible island and I need to get a snacks for north island college last day on Monday.

Alexandra Griffith

Great little whole foods market with helpful & knowledgeable staff. Always a pleasant shopping experience.

Rob

Pricey but good, what you'd expect from a natural foods store

Chubb Rock

It will most likely have that hard to find product. But you will most definitely pay a premium for it .

SD Ross

Every time I visit, there are antivaxxers shopping in there not adhering to mask and public health protocols.

Neil Nahirnick

They're very helpful and polite.

Dolorese Plante

Great place to find hard to find items

Russell James

Great selection of specialty food including gluten free, organic and vegan just to name a few. Very helpful informed staff and you could tell they were there to help and and answer questions.

Virginia's Soap-Deli

Love this store! Lots of organic goodies and resonable prices. The best is the bulk dried herb section!

Jessica Morgan Lang

Good selection, they have a great system for social distancing. Friendly and helpful staff

Lynne Fedorick (CPDT-KA)

This is an amazing store for a small natural foods store. Good selection, prices that don't break the bank.

Cindy Xavier

Fantastic selection. Great staff!

Julia Hogan

Prices are a bit high but if you need a healthy alternative for some dietary needs, I recommend this store.

philip dunn

Huge selection of great products, priced accordingly for this kind of stuff. One of the staff members was great and the other was a snob though.

1980woodpixie

Friendly staff , great selection 9f healthy food, very expensive though.

Katya Luczanko

Recently commented on one of their social media posts about the safety surrounding the use activated charcoal and recommended that those interested ask their doctors first if it is appropriate to use (eg. it can interact with medications such as birth control and make it ineffective). They deleted my benign comment interested only in consumer safety, and then barred me from commenting on any other post. I am very disappointed in this interaction, and I don't think I will return because of this :(

ChelSea

Big store

Vicci Collins

Amazing service!

Conor MacLoclen

Oh I love this store. Foods and sundries that would be considered fringe or alternative in a store that doesn't make you feel you should be. Prices are very good for an independent and with sales to boot!

Mieka Beks

I like that they have a huge selection of spices that are not sold elsewhere. Freshness and quality of the products is great. Their staff is cheerful and service is done with a smile.

Nicole Cribby

great selection hella!!!!! expensive!!!!

James Wiens

This edible island has a wide selection of health things. I question the validity of some the items they carry. The items that they carry though are high quality at a not overvalued price. The capsules here are the thing I usually pick up when I go to this location. Very friendly staff, always clean, always smells like you'd imagine it would.

Vernon Brewster

Like the spice centre

Richard Townsend (Goldgel)

Good selection of products

Phillip Tanner

Really great place to find niche health food products, but the biggest draw is the produce. No one has fresh vegetables like Edible Island, puts the big chains to shame. It's a small grocer so they're not competitive on plant milk prices, but they sell all kinds of great stuff like very good butchers products, and a bunch of vegan cheese, and excellent gluten free bread options.

Pete Quatrale

Knowledgeable staff, very good products & service! Well done.

Lisa T.

A great whole foods market. Nice variety, friendly staff and service. If they don't have what you need in stock, they'll order it for you.

Benoit Guimond

Beautiful little grocery store:)

Kevin Billy

Staff/Atmosphere/products/clientele..all so very good!!..I look forward to my weekly stops at Edible Island

Thomas Thomas

Great little health food store with great selection for it's size. Bit too much focus on supplements.

Melanie McCollum

Good prices and selection

Colton Ritchie

Nice store. Lots of hippy supplies that we stock up on the reg. Thanks for being here and taking care of business. Will be frequent here <3

Peter Bradley

Best selection of local and island offerings, knowledgeable staff, lots of diverse products and excellent plant based foods. Also open on Sundays which is great!

Friendly staff, quality goods, things you can't find anywhere else in town

Algy Goosen

The best place to buy local and organic produce - our favourite 'hippy' shop ????

J Reid

Because my spouse works here ????

Frank Rinella

Nice store for natural, organic and local products/produce.

Steve Morgan

Comox Valley's original hippie food store. Very good selection of healthy foods. I go there for spices and flour. The people who work there are very friendly and helpful.

Geoff Stewart

Wonderful staff. Great products.

Jennifer Nowell

Lovely, helpful staff. Great selection of products.

albuixech jérémy

Great products, nice selection but a bit expensive. Update 2021: added an extra star, I think they have been handling the pandemic very well, I'm sad to see people in there getting mad because of the masks and other sanitary requirements...staff is always handling things the best they can, I wish people could be more empathetic towards them and respect the rules.

Lori Gogo

Great selection and price. I get my Stevia products here.

Gay Jones

Wonderful store, had exactly what natural product I needed!

Shelly Branch

I love Edible Island. Excellent help with vitamins

Lizz Shrapnel

This store has an excellent selection for everything, but their staff isn't always as knowledgeable as I'd like and can sometimes give advice based on assumptions, instead of having and referring to an herbal medicine book. They have a fantastic selection of beauty products and I always find myself buying whatever's on sale to stock up on deodorant and the like. I always try to come here when I'm in town!

Kelly Fredell

Fair prices and good selection.

The staff at Edible Island Whole Foods are knowable about the products they sell. It is a pleasant experience to shop there. I was concerned about it being the only health food store in the Courtenay/Comox area, that a lack of competition would make the store complacent. Recommending this store is relatively easy, the staff ask if you found what you wanted and if not there is a pen at hand to write an order.

Sonja Limberger

Very good shopping experience

Victor Perichon

Friendly people

tyler butt

excellent selection of organic and natural foods

honest 12

Friendly staff

Lindsay Alexander

I used to shop here frequently but the long waiting outside and draconian rules and lack of being treated as a human and not just a disease carrying animal has made me switch to well.ca and swanson vitamins, Thriftys and Amazon. Customer service is a thing of the precovid past.

Cat

For what they have it's an ok health food store. It's a small store and therefore don't have a lot of stock.

jerry mundi

Great selection of natural foods and supplements with a knowledgeable staff.

Christian Dupont

Super customer service and very knowledgeable staff!

Charlotte Martin

slow

Joy Ful

Great product selection and helpful staff. Store is crowded out with shelving and product, hard to navigate with social distancing restrictions..

Kaz Espinet

Good store. a little pricey on certain items sometimes double the price compared to other stores. Can be a little stuck up about covid rules.. which is strange as the cashier eats while serving you

penny robertson

Clean, organized small grocery store with very friendly staff.

Bonnie Worm

Always a great selection of health food products. Friendly helpful staff.

Kelsey Smith

Amazing selection of foods and products!

Denise Henderson

Very pleasant and helpful staff.

Ellamir Froese

I will never shop here again after the experience I had with them yesterday! I prefer to give my money to places that respect their customers and don't harass them. Especially when I'm spending $25 on TWO items! I'll take my business to Thriftys from now on. I find it unfortunate that a business who's whole premise is eating healthy and organic, taking high quality vitamins, and avoiding toxins like fluoride in order to create vibrant, natural health from within, has no understanding of what these concepts even mean. They're frauds.

Val Gordon

Always good. Sometimes hard to find things but staff is always very helpful and kind

Taylor Cascanette

I love it here.

Jayson Van Ee

We always stop in when in town, great natural options of every sort!

Holger K

Great organic Grocery . Excellent Service and good Price range

Diana King

This is the place to shop for those speciality baking ingredients in Courtenay, things that are not stocked in the large super markets.

Robert Brady

Expensive

alana issler

Bit overpriced

AnDi V

My favourite little grocery store! Amazing staff and great environment!

Kimberly McIntosh

Great small local store

Cory Grosskleg

Very courteous staff.

Moses Garcia

Great place to shop

manfred berger

Every Thing you may want for healthy Eating you will get here.

Janelle Francoeur

Used to be one of my favourite local places to shop but I won’t be back after how I was treated by two of your staff members today. You should be ashamed of how your treating loyal customers during this pandemic! I’ve done everything I can to support local and not add to Amazon getting rich off of this but guess I’ll have to start buying my vitamins there now.

Cathy Storey

Good place to go for fresh bulk spices. They are in glass jars, with a scoop, small bags, and a scale. I usually buy just enough to fill a spice jar so it's not sitting around for years in my cupboard. Nice staff.

Mark Harvey

My favourite grocery store ever

S. L.

Friendly staff, clean, if crowded with loads of product. Rather expensive, but what you expect for this type of place.

dan gillespy

Nice friendly staff and 100% good customer service and very good selection.

Teresa Streeton

This is a fairly small store, but it still manages to have a good selection. They are also very willing to special order. They have a good bulk section, especially spices.

Carmen .g

Amazing people working here! I locked my keys in my car and they were so kind in letting me wait and use their phone multiple times while they were trying to work. Not to mention the food is so fresh and unique selection, it’s a great place!
