Deplorable IslandGirl

Clean, friendly staff. Lots of variety, excellent organic produce Dept.

Jen Green

Has a great selection of food ranging from gluten free, vegan, vegetarian to meat eating. I love shopping here, and they’re always very helpful and friendly. The prices can be a bit high, but the quality of food is fantastic!

Ryan Coleman

Great selection of products. We are gluten free and dairy free and we found all our favorite brands!

Great service and prices!

PlantBase Food

Great selection and staff. Reasonable prices, and a great location with tons of parking. Awesome array of local producers' products.

Gregory Kronstal

Impressive selection of quality food and ingredients. The go-to when for friends and family.

Mary Lou Sanders

Horrendously overpriced. I can't even begin to shop here. Everything is double the price or more than any other store that sells similar items. Taking advantage of the indiscriminate public has never been so easy. Will never return. Clearly meant for the elite.

Cheryl Folland

The only place I can find Modern Meat! Love it. Usually the lowest priced organic produce

michael farmer

Small but mighty store with a fantastic selection and dont miss the power house living foods next door

vickie gould

Great selection of good foods and they have keto identified items as well.

Chase Teron

What a disappointment. I’m a vegan who loves natural markets but this place is horrific. Not because of the products but because of their management and staff. I have never been treated so poorly in a store in my life. They guilted me for bringing a return for a product that I mistakenly purchased the previous day saying that “do you think that’s nice for these small businesses that you’re returning a product?” And “we don’t make any money here” ... like what?? Why on earth are you telling me these statements and making me feel so bad for making a little mistake where I had the unopened product with the receipt. Seriously, try the store just to see how terrible their customer service is... and they wonder why they don’t make any money. (Even is their products are at least 20% more than Whole Foods)

Medical mask exemptions is a mask exemption. Face shields are not replacements. Any business that claims they're natural health, then follows sickcare fake science guidelines is not a health store.

kris M

we shop here everday

Julie Steward

Fresh produce, excellent selection of organic products, best prices, incredibly kind and helpful staff!

Josie Vanderzee

Jose Reynoso

Loved this place

Ashley

Love this store! It’s so nice having an alternative place to go grocery shopping! My only wish is that they would move to a bigger location. The till area is so crowded and awkward.

Susan Medina

I was just shopping for herbal medicines.

Liz Johnston

Amber Allen

I love the staff here.

Kendra I.

Very informative staff but was wayyyy too busy for a small store during the pandemic for me. I had to wait outside during my friend asked questions

Russell Miller

The people hear complaining about having to wear a mask are ridiculous, bunch of snowflakes. Ima give you guys a 5 star, good product, variety & and good job on not believing people's bs medical exemptions.

Colton Loberg

If every grocery store was this size, this diversified, this compassionate. We would have much happier plantet and society.

Andrew Jones-Murrell

They had many items on sale when we went.

Alice S. H. Ho

Has great prices on organic produce and give member discount if you leave your phone number with them.

Christine Robertson

They have an extensive selection of organic, vegan and gluten free food products and natural supplements.

I like this local organic produce and health food store. Nice fresh veggies and fruit and often great and affordable weekly deals. Huge selection of products, clean store and friendly, knowledgeable and helpful staff. It's a joy to shop here and I often take my time to explore their assortment.

Cory Schreyer

Great selection at reasonable prices. Knowledgeable staff makes for a better experience.

Kelly Nixon

This is an excellent store. Just going in makes a person want to eat healthier. They have a great selection of plant based "meats", which I love. There is always staff asking if help is needed which is rare these days. This is a one stop shop for all groceries and health food items.

Momma Misty

Pomme deserves the best review possible. The staff are very nice and knowledgeable about the products they sell. The food is high quality and the care about their customers. If you want something good, healthy and supportive of local products shop here.

Matthew Hall

Kombucha Growler Fills!

Charles Sutton

Good eats

Chihiro S

Great store with lovely friendly staff. Would love to visit it again

Dom Toretto

It's pretty disappointing to see that you guys won't accept mask exemptions. This is discrimination and always remember that policy isn't law. You still have to follow the law. There are many people that can't wear masks or face shields due to medical conditions and you not allowing them in your store due to their conditions is discrimination and will lead to human right complaints and law suits. You as a health store should know that masks don't work and shields don't work at all so that doesn't make any sense. I'm just giving you guys my opinion as this is non sense what your business is doing. ????

Vladimir K

Love the variety of products. The stuff is very friendly.

tom walsh

Nice little shop. Everything u need.

Sheila F. Joey Murphy

It was recommended by my daughter, and was higher than my expectations.

Linda Batten

Organic products and produce available. Good selection.

Lorna Beecroft

Lovely store. Great selection. Almost no one wearing masks. For this reason will not be returning unfortunately.

Megan White

Awesome local and organic foods, great produce, and an extensive healthcare/beauty section

Douglas P J Carter - Website SEO Consultant

????????????????????

Jessica Gallinger

I enjoy this natural market however, as is common, the prices are unaffordable for commoners like me.

Janique Ouellet

Pomme is well stocked with many local and canadian made products and the staff are friendly and knowledgeable

Cheshire S

Only place not accepting bottle returns on avalon. Yet it was bought here?!? Told to go elsewhere with serious attitude. That's fine. I'll be buying my avalon, and all my organic products elsewhere and will never come back here. Bad customer service. Do not recommend this highly overpriced, attitude giving store.

Stephan Gagne

I've heard so many great stories about the specialty items that Pomme carries but that it's expensive. I thought I would give it a shot and check it out with my family. Everything was so expensive. Even their sale items were more then Save on Foods and Naked Naturals. Super disappointing as it's alway nice to find good food but not at that expense Won't be returning unless Pomme loweres their prices and compete with their competitors.

Terry Ireland

Pomme almost always has a decent selection of produce and other alternative products. We have to be dairy and gluten free and we find many products we can use. Pomme is quickly becoming a staple for our household.

Natalie Zavaglia

Prices are high but they do have lots of sales. An excellent placed for your hippie heart. Many organic natural food Alternatives gluten-free vegan. Essential oils, multivitamins protein, salt lamps etc! So much Variety in this store!! The smoothies are a high price but organic and absolutely delicious. Lots of nice dairy options, or dairy alternatives. This store features a lot of natural and organic products for personal use and home use that you won't find another stores.

GIL PICARD

I've been shopping at this place for decade's, even when they first started out on Bowen rd. They are the best for all your needs for health, and great sales. I absolutely Love this place, and highly recommend this business to everybody. 2 thumbs way UP. ????????

Jed Grieve

Always has what we need for our get away weekends away from Vancouver

megan hogg

Vegan products, well stocked, friendly staff.

Turbulent adventurer

Pom Natural is the greatest store for Natural products.

Ab Plosaj

Excellent selection, some great deals on good quality produce

Eric Dahl

My go to store for organic fruits and vegetables and the odd specialty organic item. They have great prices on fruits and veggies. Plus, they have very friendly staff as Tracy has helped me a few times and I always enjoy having a conversation with her.

Bonita Sims

Great store

Tracy Rae Moore

I love this store.

Dave McCann

Amazing natural market with friendly knowledgeable staff. Prices are steep but you can find most things you need if you are searching for a niche natural item or supplement.

Patricia Shaw

Staff are pleasant and helpful but not pushy

Chris DieBold

Great selection

Taylor Bekar

Very good for vegans!

Yard Plots

Great healthy food selection!

Stan Zizek

Lots of healthy wholesome products, a little pricey sometimes

J B

The manager Doug Ross treated me very poorly. I was surprised that a natural health store would be so closed minded in regards to this false pandemic. Despite that I have a medical note from my doctor and being perfectly healthy, he insisted that I wear a mask. Most stores know that legally they must make an exception, but apparently Ross is unaware of the laws and sovereign rights, to be treated without prejudice.

Nate M

Although quite expensive for a number of items, the store has a nice selection of many different products and plenty of organic produce. The staff is quite helpful and personable as well.

Decided to change my name

My mom who is celiac ate on item from there she grew up 10 times today looks dead and looks dead. I would not recommend it’s not gluten free.

Pearl Fredericksen

20% off sale the last Wednesday of every month can be quite a savings, especially when it comes to those expensive supplements. They have many staff working on those days, eager to help people find things. Also several stands where you can try samples. But it's so crowded and the lineups for checkout are long and slow on these days. It's the only day I go though because items are too expensive for me at the regular prices.

Kheva Mann

Pretty good selection of food. Good produce.

Adrian D'Atri-Guiran

Rammed full of pretentious vegans, but where else in this city can you buy Avalon Whipping Cream in a 1 litre bottle?

Jim Scott aka Dick Brook

I love this place, lots of organic items and a great selection of natural remedies. I only wish they had more produce, but then again, since it's all organic perhaps this is all that's available right now. I have to say, I've been buying almonds in bulk at regular stores and usually mix 1/2 salted with 1/2 plain, but the raw natural almonds found here are so tasty, they don't need anything. That's the way it should be, and I'm sure I'll be finding all sorts of other wonderful stuff as I continue to shop here.

Entisar McDonald

Great selection and very knowledgeable and friendly staff!

Alessandro Iachelli

Love this local small gem. Whenever I need something natural, organic or out of the ordinary, I know that I can come here. Regularly pop in here for some of my favourites. Customer service is great.

JD K

Pretty good

Ben McKay

Although prices and selection are decent, I was shocked to see staff working without masks in the back of the store while multiple customers were shopping without masks and being greeted in a friendly fashion by the staff at the front of the store (who were wearing masks) without any mention of the need to wear a mask being mentioned. This on the day that restrictions are being brought back in in force just before Christmas for the Omicron variant. There are too many other shopping options available to risk going here.

Aura-Lee McDonald

Fun place to explore and find all sorts of great organics! Friendly staff too :)

Tina T

Law breakers! Medical mask exemptions are the LAW. the province of bc states and I quote" face shields are NOT a replacement". Medical mask exemptions are exemptions. Look up the word "exemption" if you're having trouble with the definition. To discriminate against mental health is something you will never come back from, blood on your hands. Falling for this ridiculous farce. Enjoy your human rights complaints, human rights tribunal just upped the fines from $32k to $72k. Hope your bank account is deep and your choice to discriminate was worth it. **edited to respond to their response. There is no pandemic. There are no high transmissions, that's all gov propoganda from fake drs. Your compliance means alliance. Not only will I not support your business now, but never again. I know hundreds of thousands of people who will do the same. Good luck, I mean Heil Henry!

cheryl Johnson (ladylacasse)

$13.00 for a protein shake.lol.but it was Darn gooD!

Brandon Sabrina

Pretty good prices ???? and extremely good customer service ???????? highly recommend getting your organics from there. They were very nice with my kids, gave them stickers and gave each of us a banana (realllyy good banana's!)

Dave Hnk

I wish I could give 0 stars.... I always shop there with no mask and you said my exemption doesn't count anymore.... ah yes sure !!!! Shame on you . This is a discrimination !!!! Will never go back again or order online i rather spend my money elsewhere ????????????????

Stephen Littley

Great variety of snacks and staples for the veg, gluten, soy, dairy, etc conscious. Also some great heritage meat in the back corner. You will probably find what you are looking for...

Dawn Diamond

Barbara Grant

Is it WOW WEDNESDAY TODAY, or did they discontinue it?

R L

Great selection and prices are reasonable with wonderful quality ingredients. Staff is quite knowledgeable.

Malcolm MacKay

Since we moved to Nanaimo from Vancouver late last year we have made Pomme our source for everything organic. Prices are very reasonable for organic groceries. Some reviewers write that Pomme is expensive. Of course it is, if you are comparing Pomme's organic produce to conventional produce. Obviously this isn't a reasonable comparison. If you are content with buying conventional then Pomme isn't the place for you. Prices at Pomme are much cheaper than equivalent stores in Vancouver - Whole Foods, Choices etc. Staff is friendly. Quality are variety of produce is excellent.

Eileen Litton

Love it..

Frank Giesbrecht

Very helpful

Allen Cottell

Excellent people and nature driven foods 'n supplements. My kind of store!

Adrian Carotenuto

Nothing special about this store.

Yves Martineau (Y vez)

Good selection of produces.

Kamlesh Cuban

Great customer service. Large variety of organic locally sourced foods. Awesome prices

Andrea Leclair

Very dissatisfied with Pomme. I have been shopping there for years and have usually enjoyed my experience. I recently had some concerns and I wrote to Craig who I believe is part owner of Pomme. Some time has lapsed since I wrote and I have not heard anything from him about my concerns. I would rather shop at a place where my concerns are at least addressed.

Barb Smith

Great store for organic produce, a huge inventory of supplements and friendly, knowledgeable staff. Free parking outside. Prices are a little high but the quality is there.

theambb

They were SO helpful, appreciated the point blank conversation and the advice I was given. Thanks!

Shiloh D.

Anti-maskers. Be professional and respectful while having your own beliefs.

Stephanie Quesnel

Absolutely love this store.

Someone

Lost my a loyal customer due to discrimination. I have a medical exemption. Businesses cannot discriminate based on grounds like race, religion, creed, physical disability, mental disability, etc. If you think the 'Compensation Act. Under' gives you grounds to be discriminatory, so be it. "legal obligation to keep your employees safe" Educate yourself about what is actually going on in the world. All you people are living in fear, it's sad. If a legal obligation to keep your employees safe is your excuse, I'm glad to not shop here anymore! You will loose many customers.

June Johnston

Everything they have is great! Love that store! And nice staff????

Cass Schiffer

Like it, but don't shop often since their prices can be much higher compared to else where

Fred Pollock

Great. They can get most anything you need but I have noticed their prices to be quite reasonable. I recently bought a bag of organic lemons and found them quite tasty and extremely well priced. Believe it was 4.50 or so for a large bag of 8-9 lemons.

Karen K

Love the variety of many local and always organic products also warm knowledgable staff. Favorite grocery.

Brett Hellquist

Super helpful employees ! Great selection of health supplies

Alexander Sutton

Love this place, always try to go here when Im in Nanaimo. Some items can be overpriced like Whole Foods but overall pretty good.

Very wonderful little market in down town Nanaimo, always full of fresh goods and quality products.

Ken. Martinson

Last Saturday of the month is 20% off day. On most items, but not all.

Fredrick C

I love this store but have been disappointed that staff continue to not wear masks. At this point it’s been recommended at all indoor public places. Most customers wear them, but I’ve only seen one staff member. Other local store staff and retail stores generally have staff wearing masks. The odd ones might not and I don’t go back to those ones. The attitude here about mask wearing is discouraging and sadly I might be taking my business elsewhere including to online shopping which I dread. I understand some can’t wear them for medical reasons, but to told it’s “personal preference” is a different matter.If local businesses want shoppers I hope they all start having staff wear masks until things improve. This store is small, construction was going on and none of those workers wore masks either. I won’t go back unless I hear things have changed. It’s unfortunate as it’s a great store. I suggest changing the website Covid protocol for Pomme as the stores seem to do their own thing.
