Roots Natural Foods Market. Kitchen + Organic Juice Bar

I used to really enjoy this place. I would go to the kitchen to eat with my girlfriend. As we waited for the food we would check out the market. I would give it 5 stars but hasn’t been the same since the kitchen closed. Definitely could be creative and do online ordering or call in. Just my personal thought on it. Hopefully kitchen opens back up soon!

Awesome food and amazing customer service totally loved my first visit here and can not wait until I get more healthy food here highly recommend

I love ROOTS! Was disappointed today when 2 people entered the store with no masks on even though the door had a sign that clearly states masks required. I mentioned it to the clerk who said It's not my place to tell them and they come in all the time. I said it says masks required on your door! Hopefully that can be addressed.

Today I went to this Roots market to buy some of the vitamins and supp's they have and bread. And when I left I again wondered why I had gone there. Well, they are about the only organic food store anywhere close to Fitchburg so I can go there or drive a long ways to Lowell or Boston.nI bought a couple of prepared small meals for a late lunch. And regretted it. Some Pad Thai and a container of tuna with jackfruit. They tasted ugh!. I lived in Thailand and I loved to eat Pad Thai there. This stuff was not even close.nOld produce that is past its peak and over-priced and some organic canned vegetables and a lot of cosmetics and New Age - or whatever they call it now - things. A decent selection of coffee beans that you grind up there. But the coffee was going to cost me 17 dollars. Right, 16.99 a pound. I asked - ? Why is it so much? I only got a few ounces of the coffee to see how I liked it. The cashier erased it and weighed it again. It was .34 pounds. Or something like that. O.K. So why does the cash register ring it up at one pound? The cashier set it aside and weighed it again and deleted it again and it was showing a weight of .3 of a pound and .4 and a price of 16.99 and 15.99.nI passed on the coffee.nI have bought a prepared salad there before - because it was convenient and saves the trouble to prepare a meal - but the cost for just a plastic container of lettuce and a few nuts and pieces of something nutritious is way out of line.nI wanted something to drink - a beverage - to wash down the jackfruit-tuna and Pad Thai. There were no bottles of water or small containers of juice. Lots of ginger beer - who drinks this stuff? - and large bottles of kefir and I finally settled for a can of Kumbucha tea. For 8 dollars more-or-less. I could not finish that can either. Too much fizzy in it to drink down at one sitting and I wanted to drink something to wash down the chow at the time, not later.nWhy can't they stock some ordinary bottles of water? Even coconut water? They carry these at the Market Basket. As well as some decent bread and kefir and vitamins and you can buy water at the CVS pharmacy along with many of the supplements and the health bars that you go to Roots for.nAnd the produce at Market Basket is pretty much fresher and cheaper.nThis is not an exact comparison, just my subjective impression from a few visits to Roots.nA very small store crammed with a lot of over-priced organic stuff. Maybe they think they can get away with it because they are the only place around and you can take it or leave it.nTry Market Basket and CVS first.

A food market which includes food for special diets such as keto, low carb, paleo, vegan, dairy free, etc. I found a lot of stuff for my diet which is pretty unsual for me. I normally have to order a lot from Amazon but this store sells most of my go-to-products. My only negative comment will be poor lighting in the main shopping area- so dark for a marketplace which makes it hard to read labels.
