While traveling we stopped here for food to take to a family gathering. It’s a compact size but has myriad products and more than covers all the bases of what you’d want in a store with whole foods in its name.
Let’s not forget the first word in their name is LOVE and I was greeted immediately with a cheery “Welcome!” All the store staff smiled and were helpful.
Just inside the main entrance door before you enter the market is a sunlit, plant-filled eating area.
Inside the market are packed tables, shelves and displays for crystals, various lines of homeopathic remedies, essential oils, beauty care, clothing, books and health journals, vitamins, snack foods, mixes, refrigerated foods, Florida and local farmers’ organic fruits and vegetables, candy, protein bars and more.
I found exactly what I needed at the cafe which is kind of hidden at the front of the store behind the checkout registers area, directly to the right of the market doors.
Today in the case were grape leaves (like dolmades, but the sign just said grape leaves and I don’t know what was in them); a kale mixed salad; roasted spicy chicken pieces; sweet potato casserole; classic holiday green beans; curried chicken salad; and more. I got the chicken and the spinach noodles with tofu.
It’s a great store that feels very neighborly.
Love's is a very nice store to get organic food and supplements, but you have to be prepared to pay for it. They have a great selection and it's generally a great place to go. Also have premade salads and smoothies, so you can eat there for lunch
Alittle on the pricey side, but what #naturalfood store isn't?
#LoveWholeFoods is so worth the trip, if good quality, fresh food is your focus & they have such a variety... something for every palate. They are as close as you can get to Farm-to-Table, other than a roadside produce stand. We are what we eat... & #nonGMO is the way to go, #imho!
If you like Coconut 🥥 & Dark Chocolate, try Nelly's Organic bar in the Deli case, to the right of their 🥛milk section. Quite yummy... & so rich, I could only eat a bite; 4 inbtwn meal treats!
Friendly & helpful, knowledgeable staff in the aisles, at the registers; even the lady handing out free Kookaburra Coffee was stellar!
Be sure to stop by the Smoothie & Lunch counters, where they make 'dine in' or 'take home' grub from fresh fruits, veggies & other products straight off the shelves & bins in the other section of the store.
Easy to locate off the 95. Parking can be a squeeze at lunch, so plan accordingly 😉
Such a gem of a market! Perfect so gluten free, vegan, holistic foods. I stop by here for smoothies every now and then. Also, they have cardboard boxes that you can take. This is helpful for a recent move of mine and for shipping packages.
Love this place. The staff are nice, the atmosphere is welcoming. They usually have what I'm looking for or sometimes have something I'm just interested in. Will definitely keep coming back.
If it were not for the lovely woman with the salt and pepper hair who assisted me around the store, this would absolutely be a one star experience. I came in tonight at about 650 to pick up an item and I didn't catch her name but cashier 5301 was absolutely rude and lacked professional decorum. Such a nasty attitude, I understand everyone wanting to go home at the end of the night but I was in line before it was even closing time. The price on one of my items was wrong, and she didn't even acknowledge or apologize once she corrected it. People who are that unhappy and miserable should not be in customer service positions, she definitely needs serious training on how to provide positive service to all demographics. If there were other locations in Ormond beach, I would never visit this store again.
We are so fortunate to have Loves Whole Foods available to us.
Thank you Lovely Ladies for cooking your delicious soups with care and detail. Loves has fresh organic fruits and vegetables and much more. Thank you Mitch for being there for us with all your knowledge and help.
