Lifethyme Market - New York City

Nothing bad to say about LifeThyme groceries, fresh juices ask for their recommendations too , meals, snacks, desserts, lots of room to hang out upstairs, vegan reading... Great for a lazy meal and reading morning afternoon

I stumbled across this tiny looking supermarket by accident simply because I noticed the ad outside for organic straberries. Once inside tho. Incredible stock of vegan foods. Both fresh, dried, canned, frozen. And a juice bar and salad bar and hot food bar and deli and cake display too. I bought a stack of foods to take home with me but THE absolute best were the chocolate cakes. Amazzzzzzzzzzzzing. I tried the chocolate cake which was moist and had a thick gooey chocolately cream on it and in it. Also the chocolate log with a peanut cream filling. Both absolutely stunning and only 5 a slice which you couldn't possibly eat all in one go. The chocolate chip cookies were fab too. Absolute heaven.

Nice people staff, definitely accomodating. However,the place is so small and cluttered. Very narrow aisles. Their fresh food was reasonable compared to restaurants and ingredients, since all ingredients were organic and raw. Downside: had a mouse running around the aisle. : My friend said she loved the food, but didn't like the mouse. Luckily she didn't scream.

I loaded up on travel food here. They really have wonderful selections of veg n raw products. I also had a lentil soup and a piece of deep dish tofu greens quinoa pie from the deli for lunch. They were OK, definitely looked better than they tasted. There were also some sweet treats, both cooked and raw, available but too bad I was already full; otherwise I would have totally got a piece of those decadently rich looking cakes for dessert! The place is not big and the shelves are all cramped together, so quite often I found myself being in somebody else's way or vice versa while browsing, which spoiled the whole shopping experience a little bit.

This is a medium-sized health food store with narrow aisles filled to the brim. It has a more down-to-earth vibe compared to the large chain health food stores.
