“ I like this Planet Organic, the staff are friendly not like the arrogant gentrified wannabes at Wholefoods Store in Stoke Newington! The range of organic nuts and seeds for example is huge. It's not a large spot but it's packed to the brim with a vast range of organic stuff. A lot of healthy treats aswell for kids. Highly recommended. ”
“ A regular visit is part of my usual routine; they are well stocked and organised. I can always find what I can for as well as a new surprise or two; something that doesn’t always happen with online shopping. This branch has a great kitchen for meals-on-the-move. I often get a delicious smoothie and don’t think I’ve ever had the same one twice. ”
“ I love this store. They offer organic, local produce, allow BYO bags, have a delicious prepared food sections and lots of vegan-friendly products as well as environmentally friendly home goods (cleaners, shampoos, etc). They are very responsive to customer feedback as well and are clearly dedicated to minimizing their environmental impact with continual improvements to their practices and products. 2018 UPDATE: They have added a bulk foods section in partnership with Unpack'd and allow you to fill your own bags / containers with dry foods, nuts, etc to avoid plastic packaging and overbuying. ”
“ There are lots of organic products here. There also have cooked salads and sweets. There is a pharmacy in the back, it is suitable for people with allergies. ”
“ Loved the soup and hot food. Great mixture of bits for the healthy eaters. Got my supply of nuts, I need to remember to bring my jars/containers next time or Tupperware Staff behind the counters always seem quite friendly and cheerful. ”
“ Loved it, amazing service on Saturday evening from both cafe and counter staff. Actually making an effort to smile and be pleasant, love it. ”
“ I LIVE on items from this store. I moved to London two years ago and was shocked at how hard it is to find food items in London that don't have preservatives, etc. In the US, any Whole Foods is guaranteed not to carry any items with preservatives. So discovering Planet Organic was a life-saver, particularly for items that don't have gluten or dairy, and are still unprocessed and healthy. The store is always well-stocked and the cashiers are lovely. My only fear is that at some point the store will close. So I hope that people frequent it, because we need to keep this option alive!! ”
“ Amazing service at Planet Organic Islington. I went straight there yesterday after a disappointing trip to Whole Foods Piccadilly; I was trying to buy multivitamins and couldn’t get any help, so I gave up and made my way to Planet Organic instead. I popped in 15 minutes before closing and received amazing service from the young lady in the supplements section of the store. She didn’t rush me and helped me find exactly what I needed. ”
