Reviews
I discovered East West Organics years ago when it first opened in Glen Eden, so my ears pricked up when I heard more than one of my virtuous foodie friends raving about their new New Lynn branch in Portage Road complete with a great organic cafe. Love this place - it's warm and real, you can shop for in-season food that nurtures you naturally, buy gluten-free and artisan breads from the bakery, consult with knowledgeable staff (including an in-store naturopath) , or simply enjoy delicious, home-made food from Ethos, their in-store cafe. I'm a salad fiend and on sight I could see the salads are jam packed with goodness and energy. Yum! The coffee is is ethically-traded as well as organic but there's also a fabulous selection of loose teas and smoothies. I was also taken by the 'ingredients menu', a great wee feature that profiles superfoods and interesting ingredients - it taught me, and I liked that. In fact the entire visit inspired me, a reminder about how good food that really feeds the body and soul can feel.
This is a revolutionary natural foods superstore, the kind that's never been seen in New Zealand before. Not only do they stock a wide range of organic products but they are working hard to make sure prices are as cheap as possible. But as a passionate botanist, the real reason I visit every few weeks is that there is a fantastic heritage garden centre and because I can get a bite to eat at the in-house Ethos Cafe. There's a gutsy new breakfast menu and my friend says the gluten-free coconut hot cakes are a must-try!
