It’s a wonderful place place for gluten free treats/products, the staff is really friendly too, the only downside is that gluten free products can be expensive really fast...

Service is always good- friendly and approachable.Food has always been good when Ive eaten there.Had a groupon to eat there over a year ago and for some reason the portions were smaller than when I had eaten there other times- not sure why the inconsistency.Other than that, no complaints.Delicious healthy food. Fresh sourdough bread is good as well, the loaves are a substantial size. Catering to your healthy food needs in an accessible way. Impressive.

Poor packaging for wraps on Uber eats. Arrived soggy and sticking to the box. Dressing for Cranberry salad tastes too bitter, like there is alcohol in it. Gluten free brownies are delicious. Going forward I’ll stick to the brownies and order meals for delivery elsewhere.

Fresh Earth? More like Fresh Hell! Matthew is an awful person. Have you heard him talk to his staff? [I was gonna sleep on this, but no! I cant. And he steals blankets from homeless people. Shameful!]

You dont have to be vegan to shop here, but dont go looking for meat products 😉Very good bread, and lots of other whole food products.Their store on Conrad Drive is a bit bigger but has pretty much the same products.Street parking is controlled by more-than-usually useless car guards.

Service was absolutely horrible I wont be going there in a hurry. They could not even give me change of R75 and this was at 1pm already, I had to pay by card for R35 as they didnt have change for a R100. let me not even talk about the fact that it took so long for someone to come and serve us once we were seated and then it was just downhill from there, ended up leaving and eating somewhere else.

Vegan, lactose-free and gluten-free friendly grocery store and cafe. Not really nut or peanut friendly as a lot of their foods have nuts in them. One of the very rare places that offers rice milk, along with almond, soy and oat milk. I was so happy to find they offer gluten free donuts! What a treat! The attached shop sells all sorts of foods, baked goods, pastas, noodles and even eco toiletries and home products.

While health food shops have become more accessible and fresh food is a way out drive for me it is still by far my favourite of all food shops.The team here stays on top of what their patrons need and I have never looked for something I could not find here.And then their restaurant has to be mentioned. Fantastic food options. (You can have your brownie either straight up traditional, or a gluten-free version or sugar and wheat free made with dates. I have had all of them and I would not be able to choose a favourite.)The people there are super knowledgeable and extremely helpful. You would not go wrong driving out to Emmerentia.

Fresh Earth, Emmarentia, really is a great one stop shop for many of your needs. The food is delicious with a wide range of not only vegetarian but vegan options on the menu; desserts included. The grocery store has many vegan friendly foods and products.I chose to work from Fresh Earth today and the friendly ambience is perfect and comfortable for work. The wide selection of music really also moves the focus energy throughout the day. Ive traditionally only come here for food and groceries and now Ill definitely be back to work here for the day again. Highly recommended!

Ordered bread rolls on Monday 21 June and paid a lot for shipping in 2 to 4 days. Emailed on Wednesday 23 June to say that order is urgently required by Friday. Followed up on Friday 25 June. Order dispatched but couriers dont operate on weekends and will only receive the order next week. Very disappointed. Expect efficient service especially for the cost of the products and shipping

For those in need of some really healthy food alternatives or are looking for hard to find organic food products this place has it all, when you first walk in you are welcomed with wonderful aromas from the kitchen, we were unfortunately too late on a Sunday afternoon to place any orders so I cant comment there but from the treats on display and what they have on the shelves it all looks really good and healthy, catering for all pallets and diets, they even boast a huge range of herbal goods and teas. Gluten free, Dairy free, you name it, this place is awesome!

Took a walk into this place as i always heard good things. I was surprised at the variety that they have. Interesting foods options, and other items on the shelves. The indulgent treats looked really good especially these brownies. The Spinach Pie smelled really good.

Great place, with amazing food, they need to learn to adapt better, ordered food to be delivered, communication was absolutely poor, replying to an order every 15-20 minutes just to take the order and confirm.

A good menu but I find that the chef is a bit fond of sweetening all his dishes. Ive had three main dishes there so far, including the vegan burger and all were too sweet. However, the service is good.

For all your freshly made health food, it is quite goos. All my familys birthday cakes i.e gluten-free, sugar free and dairy free, are ordered from them. Also natural roll ons, deodorants and air fresheners. They have a nice onsite bakery anf restaurant.

What a lovely shop this is, long established as the premier health food shop offering all sorts of goodies. From frozen foods to coffee to cosmetics to brownies. Each day has a healthy vegetarian luncheon buffet, or you can order from a set menu offering vegan or vegetarian meals. Superb house blend of coffee in the 2 cup Bodum is a must, alongside the gluten free brownies. If you need help with nutritional information on healthy eating or supplements this is the place. A one stop health food mecca of good food, great service and value for money.

Emmerentia - good service. A bit more limited in variety due too smaller space. Blairgowrie - terrible service, awesome variety.

Review №66

All things vegan but in a way that is light and accessible, food is awesome, the Thai quinoa salad is something I would go back for. These kinds of meals are always a little bit pricey but are always value for money here. My son will not stop asking for his chocolate doughnut until it happens on a Saturday. Nice homely and unpretentious atmosphere.

Great food and drink - just the worst takeaway coffee cups, they leak. This has happened twice. Hot coffee, cars and electronics don’t go together. Get a new supplier if you want to keep my business.

Considering that Eastern Temptations sells a lot of similar things (seeds, nuts, spices, frozen meatless options, tofu) and that it is basically right next door, I was quite disappointed that the products sold at Fresh Earth Food Store were more expensive! However, the baked goods are great and food available fresh on the café/deli side were great quality too.*Fresh Earth Food Store have shed some light regarding pricing, and I think their point is valid! Based on that, Ive happily changed my rating to what they deserve because truly it is a quality place with an awesome array of options to choose from suitable for every dietary preference.*
