While no longer capitalizing on being a hipster cultural center since the coming of Whole Foods, this is a solid little store that calls back to the grassroots of the Earth Fare brand. To find a truly grassroots store, visit Rosewood Market just a few minutes away. High points include a salad and hot vegan lunch bar, plenty of ready to eat deli and dessert dishes, a capable meat department, lots of dairy products, bulk goods, a selection of local produce, a strong self care department, a decent selection of wines, and a small seating area perfect for a lunch drop in. They carry a robust selection of vegan and Macrobiotic foods and products to meet all your unique dietary and care needs. Dont expect a huge bakery. Also, youll not find the overwhelming selection or negligibly lower prices to be found at a larger store.

I am a student at the University of South Carolina and I have shopped at EarthFare a few times now. The selection and layout is very similar to that of a Whole Foods, and I was happy with all of the products available. That being said, the prices are RIDICULOUS. A small bottle of acai juice costs nearly 10 dollars, for example. Though they do offer some products that are not quite this expensive, I was shocked by some of the prices of fruit and nuts. I will go back, but will have to be very careful to watch how much I spend.

Good selection but be very careful about the meat. An employee told me that it was all real "free range" and gave me the name of the two locations they buy poultry from. Luckily I checked out the site before buying! The birds arent really free ranged- they are cramped into little barns without much room to be chickens. While its your choice, Id rather not spend extra cash on poorly raised poultry when I could give the quality animal at Food Lion.

The staff in the hot deli section was rude and not customer oriented. This has happened on three of my recent visits to Earth Fare. Today, I spoke with the manager (Jim) about my concern. He seemed to not care and was not very reassuring to me. I will not go back. Ill continue to shop at Whole Foods instead. I hate to see thar Earth Fare has gone downhill. The store must have a management problem.

I shop at Earth Fare on a weekly basis. The employees have always been friendly and very helpful when I need assistance. The produce, meat, and bakery departments have fresh and delicious foods. The hot bar, pizza and sandwich stations are fantastic - so we usually stop for lunch while shopping. Ive never been disappointed when visiting Earth Fare. Its a great place to shop in Columbia.

They have some things no other stores carry. They are real high but I have found some things that were much cheaper. They have a helpful staff. I have to go there as they are the only store I have that sells some things so cheap. They do not have it all though. So, I still go to other stores also. I have over spent their in the past as they were too helpful.

I like this Earthfare, its in a great location and their prices are mostly competitive for high quality items. Braggs and Natures Path are always in stock and are some of my goto items. They also have a new points system that looks to be promising for discounts but we shall see.

So glad that this store exists in Columbia... Sure other stores may have a wider selection, but other stores arent here! I stick to produce and the selection is plenty (and with competitive prices). Also, great weekly deals and freebies if you get their email updates.

Lots of local fare and honorable mission statement. Im so glad Earth Fare cares so much about health and wellness or I wouldnt have been able to learn so much!! Always helpful and knowledgable, the staff is eccentric but lovable. Great buffet for lunch!!

Good store, not a great store. Food choices are good, but prices seem high. I mainly go the for lunch. Their buffet and pizza/sandwich shop are very popular, but Ive never had anything that tastes great. (Their coffee is really blah.)

Fantastic all the way around. Every department. Always fresh foods. Great hot bar, bakery options, deli counter, and Cajun crab dip. I always get more than I intended to, and never regret it.

I love this store! They always have the best meat options. Over 75% of the store is organic. Reasonable priced. Will definitely be going back for my meat needs.

Regional healthy grocery store I can trust. They only carry items that fall under their philosophy of no HFC, no artificial colors, no hormones, etc.

The supermarket is overpriced, in my opinion, but the buffet style hot bar/salad bar is healthy, reasonably priced and good for a quick lunch.

Convenient and stocked with lots of local and organic product. Prices can be up there and they run out of simple stuff like chicken regularly.

My wife and I like to shop or walk around the store. We switched to a healthier lifestyle and enjoy visiting Earth Fare in different cities.
