Natural Frontier Market

EXCELLENT store for all of your needs.
Cashiers and employees are so nice and willing to help — love them.
I find that some of their items are either lower or higher priced vs. the food co-​op, but you have to pay attention when shopping to really maximize the most ~bang~ for your buck.
Only place that has my favorite chocolate — Chocolove «Pretzel in Milk Chocolate».
The fridge by snacks has discounted drinks and I LOVE THEIR COCONUT WATER selection. They made me feel so #blessed because I am obsessed with coconut water.
LOVE THIS PLACE!

I’ve been shopping here for about 4 years, I find there prices to be discounted. I love their long hours and that they are open 7 days. When I cant find something they are always helpful. Anand in the vitamin department is the best at recommending supplements for what ails you. They even sell wheatgrass by the pound so I can juice it myself at home. Wish they were closer to my home.

The staff is friendly and helpful, the bulk items are great, they offer a really nice variety of healthy foods at fair prices, and the produce is always fresh. I wish they had more variety in canned cat food (for my picky cats), but they really pack in a lot of stuff in a small market. I go there several times a week for my organic foods.

Stopped in here because I had a dentist appointment down the street and was hideously early, as per usual, and had time to kill. I was pretty thrilled to discover they carry low carb bread (I try to avoid Frankenfoods, but a girl needs toast every now and again) as well as a few Tikka Masala simmer sauces that didn’t have added sugar, which was rare. Selection was massive but I didn’t graze too long. It has that smell of juiced kale as soon as you step in that’s always a tell-​tale sign of an organic shop — it doesn’t bother me and I actually like it, but others might be put off. The prices were pretty fair given the quality of what you’re getting, and I do like it a lot more than the Food Co-​Op down the road. I’ll definitely be back.

Man oh man! When I stumbled across this place I was SO happy. They have everything that’s healthy and even carry sage and incense if you’re into that kind of stuff.
Cons: There fruits and vegetables aren’t as fresh so I’d recommend going to the Fresh Coop nearby if you want. Also, if they run out of an item you have to make sure to request that they order more of it or else you’ll be waiting awhile for the item to be back in stock.
Pros: generally nice staff, organic food and products, and open until 11pm

Nice local spot with a huge variety of items. A ton of random sales makes trying new things fun!
Good source for beans, and nuts, as well as a huge amount of snacks of all varieties. Produce isn’t that great, though.

I live between the Co-​op and Natural Frontiers and for years have shopped at both, buying different items at each. Having a few days off, I decided to experiment with DIY cosmetic, healing and household cleaning products. After researching recipes I began checking to see which store had which of the ingredients and at what prices. Unfamiliar with such items I needed more information before deciding what to buy so I could develop my own recipes. To keep track of my research I wrote down volume amounts and prices. WELL… apparently this is an egregious offense in the eyes of the staff at Natural Frontiers because suddenly I was confronted angrily (by the manager? didn’t ask…) and told that I «can’t be writing down prices»! I tried to explain what I was doing and he didn’t back off. I couldnt believe my ears! I asked why did he want to lose a good customer? that I have spent thousands in the place! It was insulting and embarrassing to be accosted in such a manner. I’ll just buy everything at the Co-​op from now on.

Natural Frontier is really close to where I live so I will sometimes go there to pick up something I really need (I only do full grocery shopping at trader joe’s because they are much more reasonable)
The prices are high here, on par with the flatbush food coop a few blocks down, but this spot is a lot smaller. Although, I should mention some items can be found a little cheaper here, while others are more expensive — it just depends on what you want. It’s hard to generalize one as being cheeper than the other.
They have a lot of supplements/​vitamins and an extensive snack and cereal section. They also carry most of your regular ‘healthy brand’ fare. That said, their fresh fruits/​veggies section is kind of sparse.
At maximum, you’ll have two cashiers (there are only two stations) but I’ve never had to wait excessively long to check out. The cashiers are polite but not overly friendly or anything. No one greets you or bids you farewell. The cashiers mostly talk to each other while ringing you up, and the stock people are running around keeping busy. They will try to help you though if you ask/​need help and can be easily located.
What I like most about this place is that they are open late (11pm) and they carry some of the more hard to find brands (like soul kofa tofu chicken drumsticks that are supposedly only 105 calories a pack — they taste just like fried chicken, at least the outside does) and konjuku noodles, etc.
I also like that in the past I’ve asked for an item they didn’t stock/​carry and when I came back they had started carrying it. They’re really good about trying to order whatever people come in and ask for. This happened for the hail merry chocolate bars — so if you like those, you have me to thank ;)
TIP:
* WATCH OUT, sometimes they sell items that are past the expiration date
* If you spend over a certain amount you get a 10% discount
* They have a juice bar in the back that I’ve never tried.

Prices are pretty much fair and you get what you pay for. Organic and natural health foods cost about this much compared to other places.
Staff is cool, sometimes you cant get any help when you need to ask a question about a product
but otherwise, great location to stop by on the way home and they have my favorite oat milk and a wide variety of kombucha and health drinks so why not 4 Stars. :)

Kind of small. Prices vary. e.g., nut butters are cheaper and wide selection here than at the co-​op down the street. But good enough I think. (ok, I arrived this morning when they were supposed to be open and they were; just no lights. No biggie. Just went up the street.) But I like this place.

I just had the most terrible experience over the phone with a girl who picks up the phone at 1102 Cortelyou Rd Brooklyn store. I spent 155.00 dollars at this grocery store and accepted to have my 12 liters of water delivered at 12 noon the next day. Its now 2:30pm and nothing is here. I called this store 45minutes after 12 noon and told the young girl over the phone that I was not going to use this service anymore and that I wanted to talk to the manager. She told me that the manager does not come in till 2:00pm. I called back at 2 and i got the same girl on the phone. I reminded her who I was and I told her that I was going to make a complaint to the manager. She then decided to tell me that I had already called and that I had already said what I needed to say and that there was nothing she can do and that I was just going to have to wait until the delivery person got to my home. I asked her again if I could talk to the manager. And she said, he comes in at his own time. I got really upset with her for leading me on and giving me false information. She responded with insulting comments and horrible tone as if I deserved punishment. I hung up the phone and talked to a manager at another store. I then called the manager at 1424 3^rd Ave New York at with much hesitation from that person who picked up that phone I finally got the manager. I told him what was going on and He said that he would call the manager at the store that I was having the issue with and will have him return my call. I never received a call from this manager. So then I thought if this manager was able to get a hold of the manager that I have been asking for this whole time, why wasnt the lady at the 1102 Cortelyou Rd Brooklyn store location saying that he wasn’t in? Was she lying to me? So I called this store back and and the same girl who was talking horribly to me picked up the phone. I told her I just talked to the manager at another store and told her that he was able to get a hold of your manager and that I didnt appreciate you telling me that he was going to be in at 2 and then 3pm and then now I find out that he has been available this whole time. Then this girl on the phone sarcastically states that I am calling to much. I got upset and flipped out on this girl for talking to me this way. I didnt do anything to her to deserve this low form of customer service. With much embarrassment on my part I used profanity for I just couldn’t handle the shock I was in from the way she handled this. I hung up the phone and called the other store back and asked for the manager who had told me that he was going to call that manager from the cortelyou store and have him call me back and when I got him on the phone I said, that I never got a call back from this manager that he said would call me. Then he decided to share with me that this manager was on his lunch break and that he would call me when his lunch was over. I politely ended this call. I was so upset at this point that I feel tossed around and lied to and treated horribly. At this point I had gotten a call from a member at the cortelyou grocery store. It wasnt the manager Id hoped for it was in fact the girl who had treated me horribly who was calling. She told me that because «I» was rude that she was not going to deliver my 12 liters of water to my home and that I could walk 3 miles back to her store and get my money back. I honestly thought that this couldn’t get any worse. I told her that you had already made me wait 2 hours for my delivery which by the way its now 2:53 so thats going on 3 hours and now you are telling me that you are not going to deliver my goods and that you want to piss me off more by having me come back to your store to get my refund? I just hung up the phone and called the other manager back at the other store at 1424 3^rd Ave
New York and asked him if non managers are allowed to make those kinds of decisions. And he told me that they are not allowed to do that. So I ended that conversation and called this horrible lady back and told her what the «other manager told me, and that were just gonna have to see whats going to happen; and she sarcastically responded with a very rude OK! and hung the phone up on me. In Conclusion: This was literally my first and last time at this grocery store. I am going to place a very harsh review on Unilocal,Yahoo and Google. I am also going to tell my friends who are practicing vegans, fitness professionals, therapists and holistic practitioners to not waste there time with your store. AT this moment I am robbed of my money and my time. This matter better get resolved. Completely disgusting!

This is a great organic and natural market. I shop here 1−2x a week for organic produce and some groceries. It’s pretty fresh, and they have a nice selection of organic oils and desserts!
They have a juice bar in the back if you want some fresh green juice, but it’s with a centrifugal machine, not a Norwalk press.
They have a nice vitamins/​supplement section and very unique handmade jewelry from Nepal. They are branching out into carrying some organic leggings and headbands. Very cute.
The staff are very friendly too. And very reasonable prices.

Pretty big selection of almost everything that is organic. They have prepacked meals with vegan options too. Their biggest competitor is probably the food coop a few blocks down the street.

Been going to Frontier for 10 years or so. Very good selection for a smallish store. Not that small though, just not supermarket size like Coop just up the block. If it were the size of Coop they would carry 10 times the amount of products Coop does.

Price– My opinion on this is that if you want the best price for almost anything go online. If you want to learn see touch and feel or just straight up want it now Frontier is more than fine. I drive 15 minutes to get here, and I skip at least 5 other Health Food stores on my way.
Lastly, employees are all polite, I have never seen any trace of anything less. Customer base is very wide in terms of color and race. People who are looking for a problem normally provoke them, its not fair to bash the employees like I’ve seen on a few posts.

Great place, strong selection of products and very courteous am professional staff

After giving this place years of chances, I’ve finally given up. Here’s why:
1. Everything is overpriced, and on multiple occasions I’ve gotten home only to realize that the cashier charged me EVEN MORE than the already exorbitant marked price. I can only assume that they think no one will notice. Well, I noticed, and you all are a bunch of thieving bastards.
2. The store is poorly organized. I can never find what I’m looking for, and the few people working there are so busy chatting up white men that I can never get anyone to help me find anything. One time all three employees were helping one white man while the line to pay grew longer and longer.
3. Long before I stopped shopping here, I stopped buying bread because three times in a row I opened the package to find it already molding.
4. NO ONE LIKES UNSWEETENED CAROB CHIPS. It is an insult to vegans everywhere that you would carry those bags of rabbit turds and not actual vegan chocolate chips.
5. Why does this place even exist? If you want local, organic produce you can go to the Cortelyou greenmarket. If you want bulk dry goods, the Flatbush Food Coop is cheaper and has a better selection. For everything else, I can guarantee your local bodega will stock what you want, for cheaper, if you ask.

Stopped in this place just after eating at The Farm. Good selection, good prices, on just about anything you need. Some things were ridiculously overpriced, but overall fair prices. It is a bit small for all of the stock they had, so I was constantly running in to either patrons or store workers. Checkout was fast and friendly.

Great little health oriented market. They have a large assortment of ethnic food. Everything is fresh and organic. I just found it to be very small and very high priced.

My gripe is that someone always follows me around the store. I’ve never even thought about stealing and have spent many hundreds of dollars at this place as the variety is impressive for the size and location of the store and the prices are fair. But too many times I’ve found some lurking employee doing nothing behind me as I’m checking ingredients in an already crowded aisle. Moments later, different aisle, same annoying shadow.
While nerdily reading ingredients and polishing my monocle might signify sketchiness to these guys, they should figure out how to be a little less obvious about suspecting their loyal customers. Hate to say it but I’d prefer security cameras. Next time this happens, I might just start following my shadow around. Turn around and stare, then wait for the guy to change lanes in awkward response, follow him to that lane, and just hover. See how he likes it.

Well, the staff is friendly and nice, and I didn’t have a hard time finding anything I needed, and it’s slightly cheaper than the Food Coop on Cortelyou, but the fruit section is really lacking. I’ve been there quite a few times and each time I’ve it hasn’t changed/​still sucks.
I went yesterday looking for cherries and red navel oranges. No red navels. No cherries. Wanted to buy some asparagus. Two bundles left and they were small and looked dried out. Checked out the strawberries and they were starting to rot.
Not cool Natural Frontier.
Not cool.
