Country Sun Natural Foods - Palo Alto, California

Love this place. I came here looking for local and regional kombucha and was delighted with the options. Wild Tonic, It’s Alive Kombucha, Wise Bucha (jun-kombucha), Boochmania, Bambucha, Tim Tam Tummy, as well as some of the big brands like Synergy and Remedy. They even had an unusual tepache-flavored water kefir made by Forage.

Palo Alto’s Erewhon. You can come here and spend $4.50 on a can of beans that sell at an other grocery stores for $1.50. But you’re better than everyone else for buying it here. Pretentious, with a hippie flair.

The sea moss is excellent quality - it is an all around immunity booster - it has 92 of ~102 minerals that your body needs.

I also find it hard to get grass fed half and half by organic valley, I find grass fed milk to be something I can have whereas I can't really drink other types of milk.

On 7/24 I purchased sea moss yogurt from this store. The clerk was very nice and I appreciated his help with ringing me up. When I got home I opened up the yogurt and saw the mold that you see in this picture. I called the store and happened to speak to the store manager, Tatiana. She immediately blamed the manufacturer for the mold and took no responsibility or accountability for the fact that her store stocks moldy products. She says she doesn’t check all the products before stocking them, so how would she know there was mold? Alarm bells should be ringing that there is a Big Problem here. There was no curiosity about which flavor product, which aisle I found it in, the brand (they carry different brands of sea moss), etc… stuff store managers would normally care about. The only thing she cared about was deflecting blame. Under this type of management, this store poses a major risk to public health and safety of the local community. Who knows what else has fungus or mold in the store if this is her mindset? I am concerned about food borne illnesses may have already originated from this place.

Very uncomfortable and unwelcoming. While shopping a man who I thought was an intoxicated shopper/wanderer nearly bumped into me and walked past me multiple times. After I paid, this same person confronted me out front of the store about whether I paid for my purchase. I did not appreciate being questioned about whether I paid. Nobody wants to feel that way when spending money at a store.

Mollie Stones market is a short walk away and I had a much better experience there. I was treated like a customer, the vibes and music were good, and they have a much better selection. I would recommend supporting them instead, unless you want to feel like you are a criminal when shopping.

I've been shopping at Country Sun for years! I just love poking around the aisles, always finding something new and unique! They offer a wide variety of gluten-free, vegetarian, & vegan options along with high quality body care and supplements. It's such a bright and cheery store with amazing staff providing the best customer service. This is the type of store where staff members will remember your name. Support your independent and local stores! 🙌🏼

Literally the best wholesome place! I love them so much ! I needed bread desperately but came before they opened. They went out of their way to hand me a few loaves. It was so compassionate and helpful. Thank you Country Sun for being an amazing charming neighborhood grocery store
