Great market with awesome fresh juice and sandwich bar. It has a fresh and hot food section with to go containers.I also went for some herbal supplant that my girlfriend asked me to pick up for her and the person working the herbal section knew exactly what and where it was, saving me a bunch of time. Would definitely recommend for a good local experience.

I love this New Leaf for specialty items. I get food from the deli and smoothies. They have a great selection of natural remedies and supplements. They also have great service, just dont expect it to be cheap.

I really hate to do this, but after shopping here for several years this feedback is long overdue. New Leaf has high quality produce and a nice selection of healthy/clean foods and products. But there is a glaring problem with the customer service. The prepared foods counter and checkout service is more often than not, terrible. There is rarely a hello or even a slight smile and at times staff is engaging in conversion with each other and will barely acknowledge you. Being friendly and polite with these employees makes no difference at all in their behavior. Its as if much of the staff is grumpy or apathetic. At this point and after all these years, I am considering shopping elsewhere. There is no excuse for poor service.

Nathaniel, Rob and Amanda with that stellar service. Thumbs up all day, every time. I have a hard time choosing east or west side but in Capitola the service is on point every time and they take care to promote deals, sales and specials. Ill be back!💯💯💯💯💯

You know, when every time you walk into a grocery store and have a feel-good experience and customer service that is positive and friendly, thats a good thing. I think the people that work there are happy to be there and thats not something I can say about a lot of other places. They might all say the right words, but these people really seem to mean it.

If you live in Capitola or Santa Cruz and you are on the east side or maybe you are visiting from far away places then this is the mecca for organic food. An extra bonus are the beautiful women who work there.

Review №29

They have new owners and keep cutting back on products. They have so called discounts but you can never figure out how they apply because their hidden on the receipts. You try and order things and you never get a call back. Ive shopped there for years and see a big change to the negative. Also their prices are higher.Shop at Staff of Life Less expensive and more value and a greater range of unique products.

I like most products sold by NL, but many of the prices are more than I can afford. I think the store is more for the 6 digit folks.

Man its nice to have a new leaf. Ive been shopping in a very small Safeway for months and the produce and meat and really the selection of everything is just sooo much better here. Also the covid precautions are really solid, excepting the stylus.

Great locally sourced food. Awesome produce department. Salad bar is great for a quick snack heading into work. The team at the juice bar was exceptional even when busy!! Great job guys keep it up.

Love this store. More personal than Whole Paycheck. More local produce from local organic farmers. Try a freshly made juice or something creative from their deli. Their Coastal Kale Salad is Awesome!Top quality meats and fish too.

Review №40

Since being purchased by new seasons new leaf has declined in produce and food quality, and increased in price. Customer service has stayed consistent (my only reason for 2 stars). Today I got a salad from the hot bar and it was soggy, the vegetables were over cooked... the dressing was flavorless. Very sad to see a place I once loved dearly turn to this.

Great local foods market. Despite being acquired by an out of state grocer (New Seasons, Portland, Oregon) in late 2013, this store continues to feature its most valued products and principles: its employees, local, fresh, organic produce and sustainable products from green businesses. If supporting regional and local businesses is important to you then come here for the best selection before going further.

Review №45

I wish they had a little more Chinese selection like the hot mustard which is powder and you make your own. And they used to sell this round box of sweet hot sour soup that you just add a couple of tablespoons with water and it was great but you guys no longer carry that.

New Leaf on 41st St has the best maple syrup Also, they dont use a chemical to stop their tumeric & ginger from sprouting, unlike Staff of Life They also have a good price on Bell Weather sheeps milk yoghurt I shop there just for these items

Review №47

Just another large company posing as a LOCA health foods tote. Over priced to make someone else rich who doesn’t even live in California.Not fair to their employees, and after I resigned (with conformation from office in Oregon) the manager told everyone who called (as a reference) I was fired.Don’t was you money here go to the farmers market and support farmers directly.

Super clean community market with groceries, small hot food bar, deli counter and classroom. If you like independent organic grocers that are not corporate behemoths, this is a wonderful alternative and its locally owned.

Review №56

The prices here are ridiculous. The same exact things I can buy at Safeway or Nob Hill are about 25% higher. When I checked out, I unloaded all my stuff on to the checkout conveyor belt and after this, the checker at the next station asked me to move over to her register since she had just opened up. So I gathered up all my items, in my arms, and walked to the next register. By the time I got there, some guy came running up and started pulling his items on ahead of me. The checker, who had asked me to move over said nothing and did nothing. So I carried everything back to my original line. There, the person who was ahead of me had checked. So I was next; only the checker here had never completed the transaction. The woman before me had to be chased down in the parking lot and had to come back and completely redo the ATM payment process. This place is a joke.

This is a particularly location for the health-conscious grocery store chain. This location has a full deli, cafe/smoothie bar, salad bar, and outdoor dining area. The groceries are on the pricey side (as all natural food stores are), but overall a great place!

I hate to say it but this market is so much better since it was bought by I believe Canadian investors. The staff is much better trained and literally bend over backwards to help customers and make sure theyre satisfied . If something really needs to be returned they are very accommodating . Their produce is wonderful . The sheer amount of organic food is also wonderful . lovely to Shopiere

Organic neighborhood market. Decent selection, pretty much as pricey as WF. Service is mixed. Can be brilliant but a few times I felt they should invest more in their customer service training.

Review №77

New Leaf keeps going steadily down hill. Too bad, it used to be about the only place I shopped. Today, after ringing me up, the checker said Would you like help with your bag? Really? In other words, its my job to bag my groceries, but hell help cause hes so nice. I had just come from Whole Foods, where two people were bagging while I was being checked out. Sad.

The one on 41st has changed. It used to be more friendly and when you asked a question they could answer or find an answer. Last time I asked about some seasonal vegi the produce person said I Dont Know and left.The one down town you have to be prepared to bag your own groceries or the cashier will give you the eye. It would not be so bad if the cost reflected you bagging but no its expensive and you do all the work.Hands down the best New Leaf store is Felton. Then have everything I need and are helpful and friendly. The even bag onless you want to do it.
