Earth Fare 2203 Franklin Road Southwest, Roanoke, VA 24014

"Shopping at EarthFare is, for me, a true luxury, reserved for special needs or cravings throughout the year. It goes without saying that you can find fabulous produce, meats (wow!), and bakery items here, as well as a top-rated catering service. If I need to prepare a Vegan meal, this is where I head, as they endeavor to have a well-stocked vegetarian/vegan inventory of ingredients. If you are like me, shopping vegan is much like speaking Mandarin: I can't and I know very little about it! No worries shopping here, however, as a knowledgeable staff member is happy to help you find an item, OR stay with you through your entire ingedient list. (Everyone working here is super nice and helpful.) When beets are in season, I have to make a trip: 2 - 1lb beets cooked in the pressure cooker keep my blood oxygen happy for a week! If you have never been, do stop in and try something from their fresh juice bar to complement something else you pick out to try - pastries, sandwiches, soups, desserts, etc. will have you drooling in no time!"

"Moved from Richmond to Roanoke area. I was looking for something like Whole Foods replacement Smaller version, but great place for produce, bulk items , organic products. Bread is good, hot bar is good as well As a bonus there is free electric car charging nearby so I can top off my battery."

"I thought this was a pretty nice clean store. Good variety of healthy / better ingredient items. They have some prepared foods which I found to be good, but not great. My cashier was polite and kindly told me a little bit about the company and the other locations. Overall I would definitely shop here again."

"This place is wack. Produce goes bad fast and is clearly not fresh. They often advertise deals (which are great) but often don’t even have those products. Prices are often not what they are advertised on the shelves. Have bought several products that were moldy/rancid. I was going to give 2 stars cause I like getting the 4/lb dollar beef. But I got some recently and it was super brown and off tasting, and ended up getting explosive diarrhea after eating it. ( I literally just ate the ground beef so I know it was caused by the beef, tried to eat it again, got sick again.)To top it off, the staff usually is rude or seems like I’m annoying them if I have questions or concerns."

"Earth Fare is such a blessing to those with food allergies and health issues. They have such a huge selection of healthy and allergen safe food, vegan, and gluten-free options. The sushi chef is so helpful and makes the best sushi. I don't mind paying a bit more for better quality foods that I know are safe for me."
