Natural Grocers - Topeka

I work at this restaurant and it's great to see new grab-and-go lunch options being added to the cooler. Some of the staff are vegan and the department managers are open to trying out new vegan products. The monthly sales are also a bonus, with items like Gardein and Beyond Meat going on sale often.

Although I don't do all of my regular grocery shopping at this restaurant, there are a few items that I consistently return to because they are either cheaper or cannot be found elsewhere locally. Some of my favorite items include NG brand frozen vegan pizza, bulk items such as nuts, seeds, oats, and lentils, jackfruit available in cans or refrigerated, Nugo Slim protein bars (mint chocolate is the best), soba noodles, nori sheets, primal seitan jerky, Newman's Own mints, Beyond Beef products, silken tofu, textured vegetable protein, and chickpea flour. I recommend signing up for their rewards program and email list to stay informed about deals, as some items can be expensive otherwise. They also frequently offer giveaways of items like dark chocolate bars, seitan jerky, and reusable shopping bags. It's important to bring your own bags or use their spare cardboard boxes, as they do not provide plastic bags which is a great eco-friendly touch! (Updated from previous review on 2021-07-23)

I love this restaurant because they use recycled boxes instead of plastic bags. They offer a fantastic variety of produce, healthy vegan options, and tasty vegan junk food. I would give this place 5 stars if it were completely vegan!

Great vegan options for healthy clean cooking. Also have great vitamin selection. For a small town this store is better than Whole Foods. Its pricey but they do have sales which is the best time too shop.

I work nearby and enjoy exploring new lunch options at this restaurant. Some of the employees are vegan and many of the department managers are open to trying vegan products. I appreciate the monthly sales, and enjoy the variety of garnishes and meat options that are often on sale.
