I agree with the posts about this store giving off the«stuck up, bored, please dear god don’t ask me any questions and inconvenience my life» looks. One of the most unhelpful stores in Canton. I go here for a few items that only this store sells. Honestly, I can not wait for the new Earth Fare in Canton to open! This company does not deserve my business.

Honestly I can’t wait until earth fare comes into town… last couple of experiences at raisin rack have been less then stellar… tonight I came in to have a pineapple juiced(which I have done quite frequently) and I was told they no longer juice fruit… I asked when they stopped and the kid behind the juice bar goes«I dunno maybe a month ago?» «My owner says I can’t anymore». So tonight will be my last trip to raisin rack.(Prices have been sky high lately too)…ill schlup it out to fairlawn to go to earth fare and mustard seed until the earth fare in canton goes in!!!

This place is staple and an oasis for me! Awesome staff, awesome patrons! Their bulk nuts/grains section is top notch, and very reasonably priced! Grind your own almond & peanut butter is also very tasty! They offer several choices for local egg producers, varied by price, and all good! Daily salad bars, healthy soups & juices, organic produce, vitamin supplements, environmentally friendly bathing protects, and lots of gluten free options, in addition to an abundance of energy bars for anyone’s personal dietary preferences! As a 4 year patron, visiting multiple times per week, this place is well refined, and a heavy hitter on all fronts! Keep up the great work, guys!

Its nice to see places that care about what they are selling and where it came from. As I have been eating more and more locally sourced foods Raisin Rack appealed to me. They have a very large selection of supplements — certainly more than I was expecting. Other than that, the selection for just about everything else is mediocre and its quite expensive as well especially the produce. One of my favorite thing about this place is the peanut/seed selection. Also, they have a make your own peanut butter and almond butter from raw product. Its really cool and the peanut butter is reasonable in price. I can’t see myself coming here regularly but when I am here I can see myself grabbing a few things that you can’t get at many places in the area.

What do you do when there is no Whole Foods in town? Shop at Raisin Rack! They have many organic and gluten free items. There is also a juice bar, salad bar, and a nice selection of gluten free beers.

Friendly, well stocked full line home away from home sustenance offering a large gluten-free section and fresh organic produce. It’s been a pleasure to watch this clean, well-runs md much appreciated natural foods purveyor grow.

It had been 30 years since I shopped here until last week. They began in a sort of ‘hut’ at 30th and Cleveland. Very small and kind of scary due to many ‘smoking supplies’ which I don’t think were legal to sell. Fast forward to last weekend, a new building 16 blocks north and what a difference! It’s a real grocery store, very big, great selection of organic, vegetarian, vegan and gluten free items. The store was very clean, too. Lots of bulk items, huge freezers, groceries of all types, health foods, protein drink mixes, vitamins and other suplements. Not the friendliest helpers but I ignore and shop. Give them a dose of their own medicine. Healthy eating has gotten very expensive but I don’t limit myself to this type of food. Regular fruits and vegetables sell for less at local grocers and are good for us. I use Raisin Rack once in a while for very specialty items and the hard-to-find ingredient for recipes.

Great place to find the foods, supplements, beauty items, etc that you can’t find anywhere else. Competitive pricing on typically pricey items is a plus. The minus is, as mentioned in previous reviews, is the staff. I have, on occasion, encountered a pleasant and helpful employee. For the vast majority of my visits however, they don’t even make eye contact, let alone say hello or goodbye. BIG pet peeve of mine. When I walk up to a register with a smile and a «hello», a response would be appreciated. Not even eye contact or a grunt? Sheesh.

Used to live in Ohio. Still stop here on my visits home. It is great to see how this shop has grown and improved over the years. Owners are very open to ideas. Love the juice bar too! Sales people are helpful and knowledgeable.

It maybe shouldnt matter, but this is just simply the snootiest place i’ve been in Stark County. the clerks, cashiers, etc all look bored almost to the point of seeming arrogant. They should take a drive up to Trader Joe’s and see the difference a SMILE makes when it comes to customer satisfaction. I mentioned my impression to people at work, in passing and was amazed to find how common my impression was. We’ve all been there once or twice and all agreed that it was never worth a third visit because it is just so darned unwelcoming in there. No amount of supplements or gluten free 5.00 bread is worth the attitude from the staff. maybe the staff needs to buy and use one of their colon cleanse products. and realize that a smile, a kind word, a «how can we help» or «have a nice day» goes a long way to getting repeat customers. Sheesh!

Thumbs up for vegetarian and alternate dietary needs. Also 3 little words, fresh grinded peanut butter. Athough pricey, worth it if you want more health conscious food or are veggie only friendly.

Honestly, this place seemed a little too small for my liking. Canton is in a «organic food desert», meaning that there is literally nowhere else you can buy organic foods. It was nice to see at least one store here that has a selection of natural foods. The selection here is very small and not very diverse. Their prices are high, even though the high prices come with the territory(read: organic food). They have a vast selection of dietary supplements and herbs, if you’re into that. However, I came here from Akron for the organic food, and there really wasn’t much to offer the environmentally-conscious consumer here. Even though Raisin Rack may be closer to me than Mustard Seed, Krieger’s, or Earth Fare, I’d rather shop there. The selection at those stores is much better.

Raisin Rack is a very nice specialty market for the Canton area. They have a very diverse selection of healthy vegetarian, vegan, and specialty diet foods. They also have a large selection of herbal supplements. I like the fact that we have the Rack locally available to us. They’re adding on to the current building so it looks like it may be about the size of the Mustard Seed in Fairlawn when it’s complete.

In gluten free grocery shopping adventures this place is great! In gluten free, vegetarian grocery shopping this place is AMAZING. Raisin Rack is like a «mecca» for any natural food, vegan, vegetarian options. Whole Foods can not even compare. For gluten free dieters like myself there are not only two aisles of food, but a freezer section as well — This is the first and only place I have found gluten free pitas! Any gluten free baking item is also at this store. Not feeling like baking? At the end of the aisle is a section of gluten free bakery items fresh from a local bakery. Don’t see a bakery item that you want? No problem! Just order it from the bakery and it will be delivered to the Raisin Rack. It’s probably a good thing that the Raisin Rack is not just around the corner otherwise I’d be broke.

Raisin Rack is a cute and excellent natural food market. If you’re looking for natural foods, vegan options, supplements, or anything else in that realm, then you’re set. I started coming here as a child and have had the chance to watch this market expand over the years. Though better natural food markets exist, nothing compares in Stark County.
