The Health Nuts

This is the only store I go, literally they have everything for a healthy addict like me.:) It looks small but in reality there is everything I need from vitamins to juice bar and great selection of organic fruits and vegetables.98% of the the food is organic. Highly recommend.

Some like most of the supplement are very, very overpriced and few others such as canned foods are reasonably priced. Depend on the products. THE STAFFS ARE VERY RUDE. Does not know how to treat customers in the United States. Especially younger males are the worst.

Found my favorites natural peanut butter here for three dollars less than other stores. Score!

My first lunch here and the food’s pretty good for $ 5 and change. finally a place that serves good food at a reasonable price.

I definitely like this place. Glad it’s around and I hope others support it. I haven’t tried their cooked food but I do buy healthy drinks here.

My home away from home.
Good selection and reasonable prices. Their salad, juice and hot food bar is exceptionally clean and tasty!!!

Very very slow service good selection but allow plenty time. Staff very knowledgeable but they can be condescending.

Love this store, can find all of the weird things that I require for my daily diet. They carry a lot of the things that I would normally buy at whole foods when they are not out of stock (which is constantly), so now I just come here instead. They also have a great selection of beauty products. This is the only place that always has nunaturals stevia in stock and that is why I’m a diehard customer now.

While I wouldn’t say as a health food store it is any better or worse then the other ones I attend, what makes this place special is the friendly/​informed service and the hot/​prepared foods.
Willing and waiting to answer any question and buffet I literally dream about – this place is a winner in my book.

LITERALLY my favorite lunch spot in midtown and my home away from home. Amazing health food/​grocery store as well as prepared foods each day– FYI discounted in latter part of the day too!
All organic, mostly vegetarian prepared foods and all staff are so knowledgeable and helpful– always a smile!
It is honestly a god send in this part of the city :)

Hands down the best fresh vegan buffet in town. Their chef works magic! I’ve been to the location on the upper east side, and their fresh food simply can’t compare.
The staff are all very helpful and sweet. Great place to eat and stock up on goods!

I’ve been coming here for years now and they’ve always treated me with kindness and helped me find whatever I need.
They have great prices on vitamins, have a healthy salad bar, and extended the back of their store to carry more wonderful healthy items.
If you are a juicer, they make fresh juice there and they are knowledgeable about everything they have.
They stay open later than many other health stores which is great if you want to shop for your goodies after work.
Whenever I am in New York, I find myself here at least once a day.

This place is wonderful! Just a few blocks from my old job, we would go here and grab the hot food for lunch which was always hearty and delicious. They are shy on piling it on and you shouldn’t be either. Their tofu and green lentil dishes are a must try. The kale is always fresh. I will sometime get a samosa added on too. Definitely a healthy choice in comparison to other food options in the area.
They also have good deals on their market items. I have gotten raw nuts for a good price as well as yogurt and fruit.
I do not think you can go wrong with a trip here. Plenty of selection for vegan, non-​dairy and gluten-​free items. Sometimes there is a line, but it usually goes quickly.

I had the most annoying experience here. I can
in post surgery to get a veggie-​fruit juice. I asked if I could pick my own ingredients, the guy at the juice bar said yes. Wanted to mix veggies and fruit and then I was told I had to either just pick veggies or just fruit from the smoothie menu. I asked if he could charge me the flat rate for the 6.99 since I was combining my own ingredients, and would of course limit the number of ingredients based on what they have on the menu. He said ok. Halfway though he tells me it was going to be an extra charge! What ?!! When I asked him how much more he couldn’t even come up with something.
Terrible customer service to agree to a price and the change your mind. There’s are enough juice bars in the neighborhood which should make them more cognizant of the service. Never going back…
I ended up going to Juice Generation instead which was a wonderful experience.

This is a great health food store, especially for people with special food needs (gluten, dairy free, etc) and was recommended to me by a friend who has celiac disease. I was amazed at all of the food choices and basic pantry staples in such a tiny space. Don’t be put off by the clutter– they jam pack this store with tons of stuff from floor to ceiling. In the back there’s a hot bar that’s staffed (which is much cleaner than an open buffet) and there’s a very tiny seating area. Not great for groups but good for takeout in a pinch (thus why I gave 4 stars).
I’ve been in a lot of nasty, sticky, dirty hole in the wall health food stores and this one is very clean. They sweep up the bulk bins regularly and there’s someone obsessively cleaning around the hot bar/​eating area. I would definitely suggest this place to anyone with food allergies and to everyone for a good healthy meal in midtown.

This place is still failing health department inspections, people are still eating said spoiled food and loving it. I’m still missing my old go-​to store. come on health nuts!!! I care about what I put in my body, you used to, get with it!

I go here at least once a week to get, of all things, baby food. I add the strained peas and other vegan flavors to my pets’ food (dog and cat) because they like it, and the Health Nuts has the best price and selection on Earth’s Best organic flavors.
They’ve got great prices on other things, such as chocolate, and competitive prices on vegan prepared foods like Earth Balance white cheddar cheese curls (OMG), chocolate, and nuts. The store is fairly huge, especially for the neighborhood, and is an easy bus trip up via the M15 Select on 1^st avenue, then back home via the Select on 2^nd avenue.
I don’t find the supplements too easy to navigate, for some reason, and I can usually do better – price-​wise and selection-​wise – elsewhere (unless, of course, they’re running a 2-​for-​1 special.)

I love «Health Nuts.» I have been coming here for about 6 years.
Since they started Buffet section a few years ago, I became a enthusiastic fan of Health Nuts. This shop looks small from outside, but if you go in you will see how big it is. If you go all the way to the back of this shop, you will see Buffet section.
I bought lunch here probably about 50 times! There are a lot of choices of vegetarian foods which are warm and hot. Their food is totally different from other deli and most of them seasoned like Asian food. You can see variety of ready to eat foods at glance and tell the worker which food and how much you want (like one scoop or two scoop). They put the food in a container and the food is sold by weight. My favorite is Chinese Stir Fly look like Vegetable with chewy mock meat, curry flavored quinoa pilaf, tofu and vegetable tomato stew and kale salad. Kale salad contains shredded carrot, red bell pepper and seaweed. This is a good place if you feel like you need to cleanse your body. By eating lot of vegetable, I feel better and happy.
There is a long narrow table area by shelf where you can sit and eat.
They have variety of fresh squeezed juice based on their original recipe for your health condition. Also, they have variety of health foods and supplements. If you want to be healthy, this is must go place. Workers are very helpful if you ask question.

I had a positive experience even before setting foot in the store with Health Nuts. My friend needed a particular iron supplement and I called Health Nuts to ask them to check if they had it. The gentleman who answered the phone was super nice and put up with me as I asked him about the brand, the mg dosage etc.
Walking into The Health Nuts, things are deceiving at first. There’s a counter with tons of supplements, soaps and other small items near it and then it leads to two narrow aisles where they have everything from fresh ground peanut butter to produce. One section had freshly made Vegan sweets, which was just the thing I thought I’d find here.
What I didn’t expect to find was in the back: a whole prepared and frozen foods section! There was a counter where clearly their primary business is done at lunch. It looks like they had soups, prepared salads and other dishes (most of which were gone by 5pm when I visited). There was a seating area off to the side near the aisle of frozen vegetarian fare. It was quite an impressive variety, not just veggie burgers but complete dishes (Italian, Indian etc.). There was also a section for «green» cleaning products which was a nice sight to see.
We picked up the supplements and headed out. My friend said the price on the supplements were fair, which was nice to hear given its midtown location.
I enjoyed The Health Nuts visit and appreciate
