Nature's Oasis - Durango, Colorado

I highly recommend this for prepared foods, smoothies, and coffee. We have been traveling for a couple of weeks and were getting tired of restaurants. I picked up several deli items (fruit salad, kale salad, and quinoa salad are delicious!) so that we could picnic or take food to the lake nearby. They also have a great selection of unconventional grocery items, standard grocery items, etc. I also enjoyed the self-serve coffee station a couple of times!

Look it’s an expensive grocery store, but it reminds me of Fresh Fields growing up (acquired by Whole Foods back in the day) and it’s got the best selection (and widest) of Natural Products hands down of anywhere in Durango. Produce I usually shop at Durango Natural Coop and typically Natural Grocers is overall less expensive, but if you want specially products and an outstanding selection of Organics, Natures Oasis is your spot. Bonus points for the Deli with Bomb Smoothies and Juices and I heard the Meat selection is good (though I can’t attest because I’m plant-based vegan)

Deli is great. Bakery creates delicious baked goods, but $9 for 4-5 cookies? Ouch. Appreciate the selection of healthful foods. I believe in shopping local whenever possible and NOasis gives back to the community. I would shop here more often but the prices are too high.

We stopped in during our travel through Durango. Nice clean store with all the brands one would expect. The deli had a nice variety of vegan options, produce looked fresh. Nice dining area as well as a sitting bar across the front of the store with nicely arranged houseplants for sale.
Prices of organic food products were no higher than a Whole Foods.

Nature's Oasis is a great local Natural Food Store. I love to get their ins tore deli items for lunch. The soups are great but I usually pick up a Molas Pass vegan salad. The dressing it comes with is a delicious fennel balsamic. I sometimes add a turkey curry salad side! Both are fantastic.

I used to love this place! Salads, smoothies, and sandwiches were so good. I moved away for a couple of years and came back only to find mediocre food with high prices. I do not mind paying more money for good food, at all. These past couple months I have gone in there the first couple times I got Salads, my favorite salads, they tasted bland and I counted 6 small chunks of chicken and more lettuce than I could imagine. The other toppings were hard to find on the salad as well. I said, well no more salads I guess. So, I moved to the sandwiches. The first time my husband got the bambino and I got the hippy chick. His sandwich was awesome! Made perfectly! My sandwich, well for what you get..a smear of avocado spread and a smear of hummus loaded with onions. Not worth 10 bucks.
Today I went in and got a bambino for my daughter and step-dad. The guy making it was super rude. The sandwiches were bare in comparison to the other bambinos we have gotten. I told the young man thank you. He said nothing with no eye contact. I said have a nice day and waved, he said nothing. Young boy, with red hair, slender, and his earbud in. I have worked in customer service for many years, take out your earpiece when you are working with the public. Make eye contact and speak when you are spoken to. He was giving his coworker attitude as well. I won't be back.

I am including a couple of pictures. One picture is from last week. The other is from today.

Drove through town to catch a flight and stopped in for a quick bite. The staff were helpful and efficient, overall a classy higher-end natural store. Bought a sandwich called a Hippie Chick and enjoyed it. Found a local magazine for my husband and was impressed at the condiment selections too.

We go here to get a lot of our natural products, foods, and some medicines. They have a bakery and deli in the back and there are tables and chairs if you want to eat there.
The prices are a little high, but they do have a good selection.
