The Realm Refillery

"The Realm is the type of business that makes a community, a community. They are always working to adapt their business to meet their customers’ needs. I love shopping here because it makes reducing my plastic waste so much easier. They have a wide variety of items and are always working on adding something new and exciting. The staff are also some of the nicest folks ever and will answer all the questions you may have. If you haven’t stopped in, you definitely should!"

"This refilling shop is adorable! I appreciate the clear labeling of ingredients, and the availability of free or purchasable empty jars. The plant-based focus is fantastic, offering alternatives like powdered coconut milk. It's perfect for getting precise amounts of spices without committing to a full bottle too. They also carry fresh and local produce, which is great if you're trying to shop local. The scents of their body/hair/household products are delightful, and the staff is exceptionally friendly. The owners also seem very ethical and community-oriented; I always felt very welcomed in the store and I also appreciate their IG account too. I have learned a lot from them! I highly recommend Realm—my only wish is that they could open a location closer to where I live for everyday errands, but I always try to visit when in the area for appointments."

"I’d live here if I could….no lie. This place is so bright and clean. I’ve had lovely experiences with everyone who works there. One can find any spice they’re looking for at a comparable price to grocery stores (I shop at Safeway) and it will be the best tasting garlic powder you’ll ever encounter. I’ll admit the way they display their pricing SEEMS like it will cost more BUT when you weigh it out it’s often cheaper than grocery stores. This place has become a staple I make it out to at least once a month, and I always look forward to getting back to The Realm"

"Quite possibly the best thing in Portland! This store is filled with absolutely everything you need. The owners and staff here are all incredibly friendly, kind, and welcoming! Every time I'm there to visit and stock up, there are more goodies to choose from. I love the option to order in large bulk quantities. And the ability to bring your own containers is something so special and unique, it makes this place a gem."

"I wish this was every grocery store!! I got to reuse my own bottles for olive oils and I wanted to try the chai mix they had and they had extra containers! They have anything you could need from facial serum to spices. The staff was so helpful on how to weigh and tag your bottles for check out. They have great local items too!"
