Tara Natural Foods

Tara Natural Foods is a beautiful downtown space filled with excellent healthy food options and a great staff. I've shopped here for decades, and won't stop. The variety and choice of foods both fresh and bulk is inspiring. And the owner is thoughtful and fine person.

Great place to shop for fresh local produce and foods, bulk foods, and vitamins in Kingston. Staff are super helpful and welcoming! Grateful to have a shop like this in Kingston.Please note that this store takes COVID-19 protocols seriously (which I really appreciate!).

A friend of mine had a horrible experience at this store. She was treated incredibly rude by an employee (would not acknowledge her presence or her asking for help) and when discussing the issue with the manager, she attempted to gaslight my friend by telling her it could not have happened. She claimed she knew the worker and they would never act like that. She completely invalidated my friends experience. Would not recommend this store. Would give zero stars if possible due to the customer service.

Wonderful health food store. Their selection of vitamins is excellent. The staff is friendly and extremely helpful if you are looking for something specific. I placed a curbside order for organic flour a while back, and the order and pickup process went very smoothly. I love shopping at Tera.

If I ever left Kingston, Tara would be my most missed thing about it. Visiting Tara is a mini-adventure. They have a huge selection of healthy foods and not-so-healthy but delicious treats for eery diet and budget. They also have a very comprehensive natural supplement section and some natural beauty and home care. The staff are always friendly and helpful. They are also really great about you bringing your own containers and bags as to not contribute further to waste (unlike Bulk Barn). A great local business!

Great little natural food store with a wonderful selection of bulk, fresh and frozen foods. My only frustration was that they didn't have any unsweetened coconut chips. Loved the local produce displayed outside the store; purchased some candy-sweet blueberries that I can't wait to devour.

A go-to health food shop for locals and visitors that's for sure. Tara has been bringing in Montreal bagels for years.... the real ones. So good. As well, you can find all sorts of vegetarian and vegan options here. Fresh local produce and fresh, refrigerated meal options as well. A must stop!

For the past 2 years I have been living in Downtown Kingston and have been shopping each week at Tara's. Every time I have come into the store, I have always been treated like family. Staff members like Vincent and Laura (2 of the 3 that I spoke with most, but that doesn't mean I am excluding anyone else I haven't named personally!) have shown me such kindness. It is abundantly clear that they are absolute gems in every way!! Also, I would be completely remiss if I didn't mention Joanne. She has been the clerk with who I spent the most time getting to know. Let me just say that she is truly such a delightful/wonderful human being. From the moment I walked into the store, she always made me feel like I was at home. She has such a warmth and a caring to her character and from the bottom of my heart I want to say how much I have appreciated all of her kindness! One of my favourite joys was shopping and I could overhear her interactions with other customers. Her positive/loving energy just exudes love and compassion!! I will very much miss her and every one else at your wonderful store, this is truth <3Keep up the great work, and here is wishing you all a wonderfully equanimous day, filled with peace, love, health, happiness, and truly so very much more <3With all the Metta in the cosmos and beyond for you all today, tomorrow, and every single day of your lives,Noah

All Natural but watch out because its extremely expensive

I went in to buy some small items, so there was no need for a basket or a cart. As I entered and said a friendly hello to the cashier, I got nothing back but an order barking me to use a cart so they can track how many people come in and out the store. No hello back, just rudeness and this isn't the first time either, over the past few months I have encountered the same type of behavior and attitude. It's as if they are getting some type of power trip over enforcing ridiculous Covid measures.You have lost another household of customers!
