Waverly on 8th Ave has everything you'd need in stock from vitamins, tinctures, Goji berries, Moringa, salads , meat, vegetables, dairy, soups, Cereals all organic. It's sooo much to choose, it's a one stop shop. I like this location the most. Plus, the staff is helpful & cool I recommend this location.

One thing that I like about Westerly natural market is the fact that Westerly natural market has great foods for people who are in various stages of their diet and in my case, I am going to become a vegan for three major medical reasons, number one I was recently diagnosed with type 2 diabetes, number two I am currently battling stage 3B kidney disease and number three I have been suffering from gout arthritis for almost 10 years, which means I can no longer eat red meat such as steak, ground beef, lamb and pork. Certain types of seafood such as tuna mackerel bluefish whiting and tuna fish I have to limit, I no longer am able to consume alcohol such as beer or wine, not that I drink any of that but I can no longer drink that, and I have to limit my intake of certain foods that contain high fructose corn syrup to prevent any future gout flare-ups. So my reasons for choosing Westerly natural market is because I figured a health food supermarket such as this can help me reverse my type 2 diabetes, it can also help me reverse my kidney disease and also it can help prevent me from getting any more gout flare-ups depending on what I eat. And this supermarket can most certainly help me on those three health factors so I can remain healthy. And that is the reason why I have given Westerly natural market a five-star rating.

One of my favorite places to shop in NYC--great variety and quality to boot. I didn't utilize it enough when I lived near there, and now I come all the way down from the Bronx every time my food stamps come in.

Probably more 4.5 because their prices are high for certain items, but the quality of the food and service is great. Their soups especially are amazing and very reasonably priced. Also, for the gentleman who gave them 1 star cause they charge for bags, that's literally the 2020 Bag Waste Reduction Law that applies to every NY super market and is to benefit the environment. It's a ridiculous and ignorant reason to rate a store 1 star.

It's not their fault: HEALTH FOOD IS EXPENSIVE. So despite Westerly's prices being a bit higher than Whole Food (note: I'm not sure this is entirely true, but it feels that way. I almost never shop at Whole Foods anymore, so I honestly wouldn't know) I'll take this friendly neighborhood market of Whole Paycheck any day. Here's why: Buy Local. This is a one of a kind healthy supermarket and we need to support our local establishments before they are swallowed up by these mega corporations. #eattherich Selection, selection, selection! Westerly has a great selection fresh produce (check out the mushrooms on this place), assorted deli items for everyone from vegans to carnivores, a bulk section that I actually think is better than Whole Foods for its variety, and a huge selection of vitamins and beauty care products. If your a health nut (said with nothing but love) you'd be hard pressed to not find what your looking for here. Customer service. There's always someone lingering near to help you with whatever you need. Music. They play the BEST MUSIC. Sometimes I get stuck in there for an additional 30 minutes cuz I can't stop grooving to the soundtrack. Broadway star spottings. As a member of the Broadway community (yeah, I've been on a few stages) I can tell you that if you are a theatre nerd and you want a sighting, you're bound to have one here. As one of the few late night grocery stores in the area, this is the spot we go to for our post-show snacks before heading home. Just don't be weird if you have a close encounter with one of your faves! Westerly, thank you for your many years of service to the community. We couldn't stay (or become) healthy without you!

I love this business. It's been a home away from home for years. The only reason I didn't give it a five star review is that I wish their prices were a little lower, generally speaking. BUT it is still the best little neighborhood market in town for all things innovative and organic; further, I love their friendly and respectful employees. Oh, and their homemade chicken noodle soup has been heaven sent, on multiple occasions. Yummy! Thanks & Blessings, Westerly! I cannot imagine Manhattan without you all. Peace & Gratitude, Rev. Katherine

Love Westerly's. Got some pretty good things here like their soups and matcha lemonade. Only thing I would beware if is asking for refunds, exchanges, and price adjustments. Based on their policy, I can tell they do not want to do that. If you want that service, go to Whole Foods. Westerly's is such a gem. The ready to eat soups are divine especially the beef stew. Can't say enough good things about them. Their signage can be a bit spotty though. I got shady vibes from them when I was reading their wordage regarding promotions. They try to sound smart, but it makes customers confused with their deals. Cashiers are nice, but efficient.

This place is great and a true gem in midtown. Not only do they have an amazing soup bar for cheap but you can find many types of specialty items all in one place. Admittedly some things are pricier here but not by much. Mostly the produce I would say. I come here for soup, vitamins, 1/2 sandwiches and other premade foods (made on premises), and most importantly: BULK ITEMS! They have so many grains, nuts, snacks, coffee, and so much more available in bulk. You can bring your own containers and pay per pound. There's a scale, and plastic bags if you don't bring any containers of your own. They also sell olive oils and vinegar in bulk as well, just buy one glass bottle, fill it up, and bring the bottle back for a super discounted price. It's a cheap, sustainable, and easy way to shop. They're open late (MAJOR PLUS), and the staff are super friendly. I love this place.
