Food Treats 31st August 2008

0 found this helpful

I really like the Earth Natural Foods store. Yes it is shockingly expensive for some goods like all organic shops are. But, if you're clever and have the time you can sucessfully combine shopping here with other stores and still win price wise.

They often have a reduced basket near the tea section and a reduced bread shelf opposite the cereals.

I tend to buy non fresh product here such as cordials, preserves, sauces and tinned goods that will change the taste of my cooking and may sit in my kitchen cupboard for a while to be used more than once.

I do, however treat myself at their cheese counter where the assistant is very knowledgable and helpful.

Its the choice that I like, I enjoys seeing product that is unfamiliar and that I want to try. i like reading the labels and I feel that it is a learning experience every time I visit.

I also like the fact that it is on my doorstep and stepping inside always means a food treat!!

Another Kentish Town Gem 15th March 2007

Kentish Town road may not be the prettiest of places at a first glance, but if you look closer you'll find plenty to be very happy about. The street is teaming with small independent shops, pubs and some top notch food shops .
The most recent of those is Earth Natural Foods. It complements Phoenicia extremely well. Although it lacks a butcher's it does offer an incredible variety of ‘organic fruit and vegetables, fresh bread, home-made takeaways, oils, dried fruits, organic wines and beers, artisan cheeses, dairy produce, toiletries, plus loose teas, coffees, nuts, seeds, beans, grains, herbs and spices'. The nuts selection is great and they are offered in big sacks where you can mix and match just like the spices across the room.
The place is not the cheapest, especially in some categories, but the amount of choice and quality offered make it well worth a visit.
