Erewhon

This is a premium grocery experience where image and quality intersect. All products here are neatly and uniformly arranged for display and the quality of the products appear as picture perfect as expected. There is quite a variety of your typical grocery shopping needs as well as select products such as drinks, snacks, and produce that appear exclusive. The walkways are a bit narrow and some of the shelving is stacked too high for some people to see; it's a little disconcerting to have to look up frequently to scan the products placed high up what seems above 7 feet on the shelves. Location has moderate traffic on the evening. Parking is available from nearby public garage structures.

Purchased a travel tote and off I went. Jersey to Culver. Beautiful flowers great you at the door. The produce section is tad bit breathtaking. Well organized, stocked, and things I’ve never seen. Lots of options in the cooked food section. Smoothie bar was crowded. Some samples were being offered Plenty of parking Pricey Quality food

Parking...Culver Blvd East, indicating 'Public parking', free for 1 hour. Here the groceries are so arranged that you can feel an atmosphere of high-end department store. Also you can find so many hand made elaborate foods including Sushi and realize how much they care about products liability. However, their prices are as 50% or twice as other ordinary grocery shops (I know here are much more high quality). My wife bought gifts for her friends and I think this is one way I recommend how you use here. If you have a fancy girl friend or spouse, definitely come here.

Not impressed. 20% of the groceries in the milk, meat, frozen isle can be found in Sprouts for the same price, maybe 1$ or 2$ more. The sushi was literally the same price as it is @ Whole Foods or Sprouts. Didn’t have enough time as they were closing to go into the isles & find anything outrageously priced. It was 4 minutes to 9 when I realized there were less than 10 people in the store so I asked the cashier if they close @ 9 or 10. She told me 9. I was shocked. Whole Foods & Sprouts close @ 10. Other grocery stores close @ 11,12. So this store is not doing that good? Another clear sign that they are struggling & that the whole pretentious business model of catering to the Uber rich & not to regular mortals is that this guy probably a manager made it a point to interrupt my conversation with the cashier at 9 PM sharp & tell me they were closed now & I must leave. So desperate to get all the employees of the clock & out. Didn’t even think of saying was there anything you would like to purchase since we are closing. No we closed your time is up. GO! Hilarious. I was literally contemplating of grabbing one of those 13$ sushi boxes that looked descent for a grocery store. I think the employees are drinking the pretentious cool aid of them being an elitist expensive store & he figured out that the lady holding an umbrella & a cvs bag. Laughing in disbelieve at their 135$ grocery bags couldn’t afford their 13$ grocery sushi. You keep on treating people this way. You will miss out on ALOT of business. Customers are always ‘ impressed’ with employees that gate keep & act like they are not good enough to shop there. I was about to go back & try some things when I am not full from Cava & Straw & Salt next door, now not so much. Poor service irks me. Both of the cashiers were really nice.

finally made it to one of these stores and I like them. The produce is very pretty to look at so I would assume they are fresh and tasty as well. Prepared food section looked nice as well. Wishing there was one near home. IMO, this is what WF ussed to be before it was taken over by Amazon.

The store was exceptionally beautiful. They mainly carry organic products, which are pricey. I visited in the morning and it wasn't too crowded. The well-organized vegetable display is worth checking out.

A high-end grocery store that offers high-quality foods and drinks. It's not somewhere you can shop consistently unless you have money to throw around but the things they have are pretty good. The food at the deli was very good and same with the smoothie although it cost $45 between the two and not something you would expect to spend that much on. It has a great vibe and great location in the heart of downtown Culver City. It's pretty good if you come in with the right expectations and see it for what it is.

This review is solely for the Hailey Bieber Strawberry Glaze Smoothie!! At $19, this smoothie is expensive!! However, it was way better than I expected. If it was $10 or less, I'd probably rate it a 5/5. I'd recommend giving the smoothie a try, definitely too expensive to consider coming here often, but it was a great little treat!

For some reason the prices weren't as ridiculous as I imagined. Of course it's a uppriced but you know what you're stepping into. The place is very clean they have nice bathrooms and a very clean food bar and the service was good. Overall the Bieber smoothie was very good a little sweet but it is just your average strawberry banana smoothie nothing spectacular. The mango was a little too tart for me and didn't really have that creamy smoothie taste. Overall for $19 a smoothie I would not get it again but it did taste pretty good. The sushi was grocery store sushi.

Got the virtual Hailey Biber's strawberry smoothie and it coated 20 dollars and tasted like strawberry yogurt...it's not bad but it definitely does not with more than 8 dollars... We also got some muffins and it's just ok...produces are very expensive here but good to check out what it is about if you are around the neighborhood.

I was looking for a bottle of water and ended up here with a box. I eyes the deli counter and decided to give it a go. Ms. Gloria was exceptionally nice and very knowledgeable about the offerings. My food was delicious. Upon disposing of my carryout container, I noticed I paid $30 for my meal. Yes, it's a bit much for what I got.

The Hailey Beiber smoothie was amazing! I made a special effort to visit Erewhon during my recent visit to Los Angeles.

Trendy supermarket full of organic and specialty diet foods. It's very clean and offers a wide variety of meals and snacks in addition to some kitchen staples. It also has a nicely built kitchen area that resembles more of a restaurant than a grocery. It's only a medium sized store, but everything is pretty straightforward and there's at least a quick check out time. The one thing that would keep me from frequenting this place is its insane markups. Many of these items can be purchased at Whole Foods or Ralph's but this place will gladly charge you more. The specialty keto cheesecake I had was decent but not really worth the price. I'm sure most regular folks will be happy at the nearby Trader Joe's.

I love this erewhon! The staff was friendly and it was huge! The breakfast sandwhich was delicious and I really loved all the salsas they offered! The environment and even the bathroom was super clean!

Hailey Bieber smoothie worth it? I say YES! This smoothie was very smooth and absolutely perfect in taste. We tried the island smoothie as well and it was an ok smoothie. Each smoothie was around $20 and honestly it may be justified if you're a big smoothie fan. Jamba Juice smoothies aren't as smooth as this one and sometimes have a bit of a freezer burn taste. Would I get it consistently? Probably not but it's a good treat every once in a while Service was very quick - although there was so many people out smoothies were out very quickly Located in a food mall around other amenities- this is a great place to walk around Rating : 8.5/10 Again I would come back for the Hailey Bieber one - the island one did not leave much of an impression

I kept seeing Erewhon all over Instagram, and I wanted to understand what all the hype was about. I tried the Hailey Bieber's Strawberry Glaze Skin Smoothie, and it was quite good, but I can't say that I can justify the $19 price tag. I wouldn't mind paying that price for a once in a while treat, but definitely not daily or weekly. In regard to the supermarket itself, the prices for most of the products are generally higher than at other grocery stores. You can expect to pay a premium for your groceries here! Shopping for groceries at Erewhon is definitely not for my lifestyle, but if it makes sense for you, that's great!

20 dollar smoothies and overpriced groceries. Cool place to check out I guess lol, but I couldn't understand why anyone would voluntarily do their grocery shopping here and not just go across the street to Trader Joe's or to Whole Foods. Seems like they get enough business so they can get away with charging outrageous prices for everything. Not my cup of tea though.

How to rate Erewhon...am I rating it as a grocery store or am I rating the Culver location based on whether it was the real Erewhon experience? I think I'll go with the latter. Erewhon is an LA established "thing to do." For most people, it's not a reasonable option for consistent grocery shopping. But as a place to treat yourself to something bougie once or occasionally, I think it's fun! This was my first Erewhon purchase after living in LA for two years! Brought my parents to show them what it was about. The hot bar and coffee bar were pretty popping around 10:30 am on a Thursday (the 4th of July though so was a holiday). Got a "raw gluten-free, vegan cinnamon roll." Was about the size of my palm and it cost $10. Pricey but it's Erewhon (so expected.) It was pretty dense! And not overly cinnamon-y. I really enjoyed it. I'd say it was worth $6 when I think about the price I pay for pastries I like as much or more at places like Cafe Gratitude and Erin McKenna's. Didn't purchase anything else but lots of gluten-free, vegan desserts that caught my eye. A great spot to go for the health-conscious or friend with various allergies (things were well-labeled with allergens.) You can definitely find free street parking nearby.

My mom and I were in the area and decided to come to Erewhon for lunch! We ordered the following: Organic kale with white bean salad Organic antioxidant salad Organic cauliflower killer Organic buffalo cauliflower The salads all tasted delicious and fresh. The cauliflower killer did not taste so delicious but it's packed with turmeric and you feel healthy just eating it. Only wish I had was that my buffalo cauliflower had more sauce and seasoning on it. I love my cauliflower drenched in buffalo sauce and felt like I wasn't getting too much of that flavor here. They had a seating area indoor and there is an underground parking garage (1 hour free even without validation). The seating area needs to be maintained better as far as cleanliness goes but they had white plastic utensil and not black which I'm happy about. There's something about coming here that makes you feel clean and fresh ( can't explain it). The prices are definitely high (talking about $20.00/ pound for a salad) but at least you know you're paying for fresh ingredients.

One of the best smoothies I have tried! Very rich in flavor, not too sweet, and absolutely stunning to look at! The smoothies are very expensive ($20) along with the other hot food, but at least they accept EBT!!

I purchased the travel tote for my LA visit. Arrived at the mid size store and it reminded me of Fresh Fields which is now Whole Foods. It's very organized and the organic produce colors were beautiful. All of the staff was smiling. There were a few sample's being offered. I didn't purchase anything but it was equally priced as my local Whole Foods. Parking lot nearby

LOL -- so I was here when they first opened and I'm just now getting around to my review. I also am laughing because I had a pick up order through the app, but there was no signs so I stood where everyone else was waiting for their in-store orders for smoothies/drinks. I was just waiting for that dang Hailey Bieber smoothie. I was standing around for 10 minutes at least. I'd see the same faces of the employees: ringing up orders and setting down the orders. Nobody questioned what I was picking up. That's fine, not necessarily their job to ask anyway. Finally I just get in line as if I was ordering and the lady says I have to go wait in the other line, where people are ordering food. Completely thrown off by that concept. Not a fan, hopefully that's changed. I couldn't tell ya. Anyway, the smoothie tasted like a strawberry banana Jamba Juice smoothie. Luckily the store opening had a coupon so I didn't actually pay $20 for it. It wasn't anything special. Didn't hate the flavor, but again, you could get it at JJ for cheaper or just make it yourself.

I went to Erewhon on Saturday with thousands of other people for the Heavy Metal Detox Smoothie launch and everyone was so nice. The employees all seemed lovely and the service was great. I wish I had one close to where I live in Orange County.

My partner has never been to Erewhon and has an obsession with all things Becky G.... Off to the nearest Erewhon we go! We were in Culver City for a staycation. This location was east to walk to from our hotel. I'm not too sure about parking. The store is really organized, but I feel like it's overpriced. The Becky G smoothie was decent! We had to wait for a while to get our smoothies. I went to the Venice Beach location and they got the smoothies out fast. Overall, it was decent and I am okay with not going back. It was a good one and done visit.

This location is top tier, so impressed. The quality for the price is worth it.. a lot of times at my local erewhon I feel like the price doesn't match the food quality. But this location goes above and beyond to make sure the price matches the food quality. I wish I took pictures of the cod I had from a few days ago, it was restaurant quality, very tender. Even the cilantro rice tastes better than my local location. Props to the chef at this location.

I've known about Erewhon for years when their flagship store opened on Beverly. Anyway, in 2011 my office moved to Calabasas and around 2013 or 2013 they took over Maddy's. It was my go to spot for lunch because needing be as healthy as possible I loved their hot food section. Fast forward I followed their move to Venice and then to other stores and actually a good friend told me about the Culver City location. It is right across the street from Trader Joe's and occupies the new complex that use to be a large parking lot. Parking is accessed on Culver Blvd and the first hour is no charge. I opted for my usual acai bowl and it was near perfect. Tempted, I also grabbed some take out for dinner. Prepared with a nice touch. Now, Erewhon is not for everybody as you get what you pay for. The specialized in vegan and health conscious products (i.e., Bristol Farms, Gelson's, Whole Foods, etc.). The quality they deliver, especially with their salad bar, take-out, coffee-bar is outstanding but I will admit you must expect to pay a premium price, however for me, I know what I am seeking and the bottom-line is I receive value for what I purchase.

Came here to try their smoothies! Service was helpful when we asked for recommendations. Smoothies took a while to come out despite only one person being ahead of us but that's to be expected with how these drink are made. Just be mindful of the wait times if there's a line, as it will take a decent amount of time. Beautiful interior at this location, and nice and clean restrooms.

While visiting LA I had to at least checkout Erewhon once to see what it was all about. I wanted to try to viral Hailey Bieber smoothie because I usually like strawberry and coconut flavors. Was it overly expensive? Yes. Was it delicious? Unfortunately, yes. Would I get it again? Maybe, but more as a special treat kind of thing. I honestly didn't have high hopes for this smoothie considering it's supposed to be a "health" smoothie but it just tasted like a nice strawberry and coconut cream smoothie and was surprisingly not heavy like some smoothies can be. Even though this smoothie was stupidly delicious, my overall opinion of the place still hasn't changed. It's still overly expensive for what it is and I just don't see myself wanting to go very often.

"I mean it's one banana, Michael. What could it cost? Ten dollars??" L.A.'s luxury grocery chain opened a new store in Culver City, of all places. I was in the area picking up coffee across the street, and decided to do a quick walk-through since I had one hour of free parking. They are the anchor tenant for The Culver Steps, which is a new shopping/dining complex downtown. The entrance to the underground parking garage is on Main Street. The Erewhon locations I've been to offer complimentary valet service, but here you gotta self-park like a plebeian (just kidding!). There's an elevator that takes you directly into the store. The left side has baked goods, prepared foods, a smoothie bar, sushi, juices, snacks, and more. I didn't see a pizza bar, which I was looking forward to. The right side was mostly fruits and vegetables if I remember correctly. Dairy and refrigerated items were in the back. The middle aisles contained everything else: alcohol, pantry items, supplements, etc. I didn't buy a lot, but I liked what I picked up. The organic everything bagels went well with the cream cheese and lox (that I bought elsewhere). The whole wheat sesame bread from Tartine was aromatic and flavorful. I'm a fan of the 100% organic roasted dry peanut butter. It's a viscous mix of crunchy and creamy that tastes very natural. There's a seating area inside and a couple of tables outside. I wouldn't come here to purchase produce, but the cafe items are not so pricey (except the smoothies). It's a good lunch place! Organic bananas were $1.29 per lb by the way.

I wanted to see the hype of this place and I wasn't surprised on the outcome. It's just an expensive store that serves basic healthy foods. $11 for a juice and $18 for this little box. The store is pretty small and hard to walk by without running into someone. So, is it the branding ? Maybe. Definitely up to you to spend $31 on the food there. Love the location though!

This was my first time at Erewhon and had to try all of the good eats! We ordered the Hailey Bieber strawberry smoothie, buffalo cauliflower, and the spicy tuna sandwich!! The smoothie was super good and honestly was good for a celebrity drink. The buffalo cauliflower was also really good and had the perfect amount of crisp + flavor to it. The spicy tuna sandwich was definitely my favorite and even half of the sandwich was the perfect amount. The inside was super clean and stocked super well! The workers were nice and the dining area was a great place to study! Will definitely be back here for a quick lunch on the go!

The smoothies themselves were not worth the price of the hype. But the customer service was amazing! We thought the Haley Bieber was way too sweet when we sampled so her moved the Stevie. Still too sweet though. Coconut Cloud was amazing and our favorite!! Beautiful color, good texture, and perfect balance of coconut and and tropical with relaxed earthy flavors like almond. Mango tasted like mango sorbet and was refreshing but extremely sweet. Would not order Haley or Mango again but definitely recommend the coconut cloud. Each smoothie was ~$18 and worth it for the experience but definitely not a regular thing

The fresh organic food! The friendly staff ready and waiting to serve, the ambiance of health and service of wellness they provide is unprecedentedly different!

Just had the most phenomenal culinary experience at this erewhon. Perfect vanilla latte, not too sweet and perfect temp. Followed by the best freshly baked chocolate chip cookie I've ever had...in my life. Thin, crispy crunchy edges, chocolatey soft center. Wow. Then I had my combo meal. Perfectly cooked carne asada with the most delicious white mushroom sauce; I need the recipe! Then garlic broccolini, again perfectly cooked and seasoned--couldn't believe. Ended by mango/cucumber/jicama/avocado salad--refreshing bright crunchy. Erewhon, I've been coming for many years now but you really outdid yourself today. Kudos to Culver City staff, baristas, and chefs!

Came in on a Sunday around noon and it wasn't too packed! Small wait line for the smoothie line but only took about 20 mins for the smoothie to be ready! It was my first time so I tired the famous blue coconut cloud smoothie and I actually loved it. It was $18 but still glad I got to try it. The smoothie has all do the following ingredients - Malk™ almond milk, banana, pineapple, avocado, vanilla stevia, coconut cream, blue majik, almond butter, vanilla collagen I browsed through the market and bought some tomato soup and a couple random snacks. I do love how clean and coordinated the entire market layout is. Overall service was really good! Everyone was super friendly and there was a person passing out sushi samples for us to try. The sushi was delicious !! You can street park in the area or there's a parking structure that's for erewhon visitors. If you park in the lower level structure, parking is free for up yo an hour. You can take the elevator from the parking structure up into the market

A high-end grocery store that offers high-quality foods and drinks. It's not somewhere you can shop consistently unless you have money to throw around but the things they have are pretty good. The food at the deli was very good and same with the smoothie although it cost $45 between the two and not something you would expect to spend that much on. It has a great vibe and great location in the heart of downtown Culver City. It's pretty good if you come in with the right expectations and see it for what it is.

Prices are much more expensive than your regular grocery store, maybe even too expensive but the quality it there. I can confidently say they have the best hot food bar and sushi, their smoothies are really good as well. Staff is friendly and service is somewhat quick. Like I said don't expect this place to be cheap, but you get the quality you pay for.

I've been dying to visit an Erewhon every time I'm in socal but I always end up being too busy. Today I stopped by this location for the first time ever. I love it! Everything is super well stocked and colorful. There's plenty of employees and staff working so it's always easy to grab a helping hand. Their hot bar and cafes are soooo good. I got the Hailey Bieber smoothie which was delicious and a banana muffin which was okay, I wish it toasted. My boyfriend got an avocado toast but the bread was super hard, almost inedible. He also got bacon and pork sausage for breakfast which he was was good. I would definitely return for the cafe & the food bar.

Culver City - It's a no-go for me. The line for hot food is horizontal to the glass case of food and more times than not, as a person of color, employees skip over me in favor of helping the non-person of color patron. Finally, two days ago, at the cashier, I'm asked if I'm a member, but the cashier forgets to rubber band the containers of hot food to avoid spilling while in transit. Food is great, customer service not so much. I'll stick to the location near the Grove for equal and unbiased professional customer service.

Newest location and part of the Erewhon machine. I'll have to update once the store really gets going. Today, an opening day, was chaotic as only an opening store would be. Curious customers (including me lol), corporate employees huddling in the way and new employees getting their bearings. Utter lovely chaos. Excited to see this store thrive. Not excited about the traffic it will bring but that's life. Hot bar was great as usual and smoothie bar was amazing.

I know I know "Erewhon" everyone thinks it's SO LA and full of influencers with overpriced groceries and smoothies. BUT LET ME TELL YOU! I thought the same thing until I gave their cafe a try and trust me I'm sold! I even bought a membership which ask me a couple weeks ago and I would have laughed so hard! The combo plate is truly one of the best clean, well balanced meals you can get. The chicken is so extremely tender, juicy and flavorful. I have NEVER in my life had better chicken than the ones from Erewhon's cafe. Sure it's pretty pricey here, but honestly if you look at the quality of food/produce here, the price is somewhat justified.

It's a newly opened grocery store located in the center of downtown Culver City. It's small in scale, carrying fewer but unique categories, fancy version of Whole Foods though even more pricier. They also have ready-to-eat deli sessions for takeout, very overpriced food selections.

Not worth the cult following. Small store with even smaller aisles. The food line is crazy long. The prices will make your wallet cry. And the food is so-so. The best thing is the service here. The employees are incredibly friendly and welcoming and the free samples are great! If you got money to burn then this is a great place but if you're an average American then maybe this isn't the place for you. Trader Joe's is right next to it.

Since they've opened in the neighborhood, I've stopped by a few times. Always nice customer service. As well as a nice big selection of goods on the healthier side. Their on the higher end, but worth it if you're able. My family and I will be back here and there, I'd imagine. And if you're a health conscience shopper and consumer that digs Whole Foods, Trader Joe's, etc, I recommend them for sure.

Being newly opened, the store was very clean and the vibe was so vibrant. The hot food bar never disappoints and my new favorite is the eggplant lasagna and vegan mac and cheese! The prices here are exponentially high; however, they take the quality of their food and ingredients very seriously and they are also very accommodating and transparent with any food restrictions and allergies. The service is always very friendly and quick! I always recommend to stop by for the hot food bar but also the drinks and specifically the smoothies. I tried the strawberry skin glaze smoothie and it is so delicious! Like a strawberry milkshake but healthy for you!! The coconut cloud smoothie is also worth trying. I like that they also opened this location right by the culver steps so there's so much to do and hangout around.

The good: This is a high end, organic, local, ethically sourced foods market with fresh foods and flowers. Their bouquets are very pretty and are actually not that bad of a price considering the types of flowers they carry. The store is immaculate. The aisles are pristine and food is so perfectly organized and aesthetically pleasing. Their ready-to-go foods look delicious. They're known for their smoothies that are named after celebrities who buy them. The bad: The smoothies are the most expensive you'll find. You'll also find regular products here like string cheese that cost more than other places that sell the same brand. The interesting: They have a membership program where you can get freebies and discounts but it costs $200/year to be a member. They offer catering, gift cards and delivery.

I got a 3 month membership free trial when they first opened. It helped introduce me to the store and brand, and I love it! I don't come here enough to justify paying for the membership and certain packaged foods / produce I prefer to buy elsewhere (because it's the same but cheaper). The hot food bar, allergen friendly desserts, and bakery goods are what I come here for. I also like to check out their supplements and vitamins. It's a good entry point to products with good ingredients that are good for you. 1st hour of parking is free. Staff is friendlier than other grocery stores and some are pretty knowledgeable about wellness and holistic living. Just strike up a conversation and ask.

Yes, Erewhon is very pricey but I'm still a fan and an (occasional) shopper for a good 25 years now. The Beverly location is still my favorite, but this one is probably #2 for me. It's pretty mellow and easy to navigate. The fresh soups, juices, broths, and salads are my go to items whenever I shop at Erewhon. The soups are insanely delicious, love the Coconut Red Lentil one. I'm also a fan of the tonic bar, the Maca Bomb smoothie is hella bomb and a MUST try. The employees here are also nice, and very helpful.

This was the smallest and cleanest Erewhon I've been to. Came on a Saturday afternoon and it was surprisingly not busy. We ordered a couple of juices from the juice bar and tried some of their sushi items. They have seating indoors and outdoors. I didn't see any made to order pizza at this location but it has most things you would see at a typical Erewhon and the hot food bar with staples like salmon and buffalo cauliflower.

Erewhon is obviously pricey but $14 eggs? The same exact products are cheaper at whole foods. Their price markups are just silly. As someone with dietary restrictions, there are a lot of healthy options for me although I can't justify the markup, for what? The hot bar and prepared foods are where its at, everything else... it's going to be a no from me dawg

In A Nutshell: -Erewhon is a fantastic, healthy food grocery store. -Just when you thought Whole Foods was at the top, Erewhon makes Whole Foods look like Trader Joes. -I'm not trying to knock WH or TJ either b/c I shop at both, what I am saying is that Erewhon is at another level, which is a good thing for us consumers. -Yes, the prices are high, but most of you reading this can afford to shop there. -I really like how everything is so neat & organized. -I found red quinoa which has gone missing at TJ's so I was happy to pick up a few bags. -If you love chocolate, they have a really nice section w/ choices from around the world. -The hot food section is reminiscent of those old Facebook cafeteria days where you are served top-shelf dishes (is this a grocery store or a French kitchen?!) Overall, the service is what tops Erewhon off. Every single employee seemed very happy & greeted w/ a smile on their face, it's hard to find that kind of service these days. I will be back again for more.

I've for the most part have always had a positive experience at Erewhon until today. I purchase Erewhon's glass bottle spring waters in bulk due to the fact that they've always recycled them for me honoring CRV. Today when I went in for what I'm sure has now been my 20th visit to this location, one of the cashiers immediately told me they do not take spring water bottles back. After sharing with her I've been recycling them for months with Erewhon she questioned when the last time I came in store was with a condescending tone. I immediately asked for the manager who was ringing customers next to her. He also claimed they did not take them back which I again shared I had been purchasing them and recycling them countless times with this exact location. In front of me, the initial cashier stated with a condescending tone "what are they like 5 cents each?" It was extremely infuriating to have a cashier mock me as if I was desperate for change. The manager ended up recycling the bottles for me I'm sure after realizing that they both were in fact wrong. As a member who has spent a few thousands at Erewhon within just the past 9 months, to be treated like someone desperate for money when I simply wanted to return bottles was wild to me. Erewhon, please train your cashiers properly. I have never had an experience like this here and hope I never will again in the future.

Came here for the hype. Plus I liked the idea of a store dedicated to people with allergies since my kid is allergic to almost everything. The food looks and tastes amazing. But the price point is what gets me here. The parking structure has a direct elevator to the store, which is convenient. 1 hr parking is free. The flowers at the front door were beautiful and fresh. Store is overall pretty organized but pricey. The food counter was confusing because there really arent directions as what youre supposed to do or how youre supposed to order. The guy behind the counter, however, was really helpful. He gave me a quick breakdown and let me sample some foods. Which is why they've earned a 4 instead of 3 star. The line, I later found out, was for drinks and smoothies. Again, not a visible sign as what to order so I skipped it since I got hot foods. The chicken was good and the chinese chicken salad was good too but not anything fancy. They have a dining area where you can sit too. Overall a decent visit but I wouldnt do my regular shopping here

i've been waiting for this erewhon to open because i love a good treat yourself moment. very easy public parking with the first hour free and honestly you don't want to spend more than 30minutes in here anyways. some things are worth it, some things are not. i'd recommend coming here for the hot bar, prepared foods, and the special stuff (aka don't buy your dave's bread loaf here because why). i'd love the hot bar menu to be a little easier, and the aisles to be a little less narrow and claustrophobic but other than that i love it here.

I'm not sure what the hype is with this small, overpriced store. I prefer Whole Foods who has a far bigger selection of pretty much everything. Parking in the area of this Erewhon location is a nightmare.

As a biased Erehwon member, I clearly like this place. I mostly come for the hot food and sushi. I will say that the sushi is priced similar to the restaurants but it's fresher than any sushi that I've had at the average sushi spot. The variety of the hot bar fits my tastes so it's definitely not for everyone but the average Erehwon shopper would enjoy it. I'll snacks that I can't get at Whole Foods or other places, but that's really it.

Victor helped me at the smoothie station- he was SO insightful, PATIENT (there were some demanding customers), & so pleasant. He is very efficient at his job--- & made the modifications I requested happen. This location can be a bit chaotic, but he's a breath of fresh air when you get to the counter!
