I rarely write reviews but, I was really disappointed in my experience at Raisin Rack. This was my first time ever being at Raisin Rack due to the fact I’m from New York. I have Celiac Disease and I’m a vegetarian. I’m used to Wegmans and other small natural food businesses in NY having everything that I need. Coming to Columbus for college has been a transition for me trying to find groceries and foods that I enjoy but that is also gluten free+plant based. I looked up gluten-free+plant based grocery stores and Raisin Rack came up. I was excited due to the reviews saying how they have the best gluten free section in the area and how amazing their store was. I went to the store to be immediately disappointed. The gluten free section didn’t have a lot of gluten free items that were plant based. I was also wanting to try the cafe since I saw so many amazing reviews on it but, i wasn’t even sure if it was open. Then, when I was cashing out, the staff at the register was not very kind. She asked if I had a rewards card through them, but I didn’t understand if it was something I would have to pay for to get discounts or if it was free and you just sign up. She told me nothing about the card and when I asked more questions about it and wanting to sign up, she seemed very annoyed and put out that she had to sign me up. I felt so out of place and very disappointed when I left. I ended up a couple of days later having to order groceries from Fresh Thyme Market. They are the only place that I can find both plant based and gluten free items. I wanted to love this store since it looked really promising but unfortunately, I had to go to a different store and will continue to go elsewhere in the future.

I hadnt been in the store in a while, and is forgotten how vast the selection of goods they carry. My niece had never been there, and she was like a kid in a candy store. Thanks for always being a place for healthy goods at affordable prices.

Hands down - our go to health food store! The staff are very helpful and can answer any question you ask. They are also a small family owned business. If they dont have something you need, they will order it for you and call you when it come in. They have great info. sheets all over the store that are packed with nutrition information on most any issue you can name. LOVE this place!! Once COVID is over - the salad and soup bar should be back. Best healthy lunch spot in the North end!

Review №16

I would challenge you to find friendlier and more conscientious or knowledgeable staff than the folks at Raisin Rack, but that would be unkind of me (it is not possible.) This is a great place to find well-priced organic foods for every standard or sensitivity, from top-notch beef / tempeh / alternative proteins in the stellar burritos at their café to gluten-, dairy- and soy-free options (and treats!) Excellent smoothies, too. Definitely worth the visit (and all those to follow).

Review №23

I’ve been coming here for years and I used to love it. I hate to give a local business such a bad review but wow, has it gone downhill over the years. The service is extremely slow and the cafe is not well stocked with products. I had to order 4 different things before the server behind the cafe counter could tell me he had everything to make my order. They were out of a lot of items. I was waiting for my order for over 30 minutes. I ordered a simple sandwich and smoothie. Overall, It was just a really disappointing experience.

The staff is amazing and helpful. I enjoy the conversations with the employees. To be honest when was the last time you asked someone how their day is going instead of thinking of yourself? I enjoy shopping here regardless if its over priced. I enjoy the fact that if I dont need help someone is still checking on me to make sure I found what I need. I wish I could give this store more than 5 stars. The people knows how to go above and beyond. Rasin Rack I thank you for all you do. Continue being a blessing because I appreciate what you do.

Review №42

Ive shopped with Raisin Rack for many years now and Ive been loyal and loved the place. Couldnt honestly give them 5 stars, sadly. I would have in the past. Im not sure whats going on but theyve had the inside if the store torn up for quite a while now for some sort of renovation that seems to have just been suspended in the early stages. I sure hope they go back to having all that I could previously count on getting there and get there space figured out with the whoever owns the strip mall.

Wide selection of natural products. They also have a cafe. Love the reward program and love the coupons upload to the card. No wasting of paper. Amazing selection of essential oils at fair prices. Staff is always friendly and helpful. Currently remodeling so you may have to ask for help.

Review №46

Decent place for supplements & a few vegan items, but definitely priced higher than most other comparable stores. It’s also super small now!! We definitely stop in whenever we are in the area just so we can grab a few things & show some love to a local business!

The employees are very helpful. Their produce when Ive been there has always been gorgeous. I found that they have the individual frozen salmon with the skin on that Ive been looking for. I think their prices are reasonable. It hasnt been busy when I go around 11:00 am. They have a nice salad bar and a nice area to eat. Very easy parking and exiting.

Review №48

Raisin Rack may have been recently remodeling; but staff is always friendly & ready to serve. Especially appreciate their salad bar area w/great sandwiches, etc. to eat in or get to go; excellent local produce; wonderful selection of dairy (& non) items; frozen quality foods; and very convenient bulk seasonings as well as other various items. Always a great place to shop when I am in the neighborhood!

Review №49

This place was depressing. Aside from one moderately cheerful employee, it was pretty underwhelming. But what makes this a one-star review was the cafe. I went with a coworker on our lunch break and literally everything about it was disappointing. The staff was unhappy, slow, and unsure. (It seems like theres a LOT of turnover there.) Despite us being the only two customers, we waited almost half an hour to get our food - two sandwiches and a smoothie. And there were four - yes, four - employees behind the counter. A woman came in just after us to pick up her order, which was a grilled cheese sandwich she had ordered in advance. Somehow, this was ALSO not ready. The cherry on top was that the food was incredibly basic quality, made poorly, and my sandwich was actually made wrong (missing ingredients). There are far, FAR better organic/healthy/etc style grocery stores and cafes in Columbus so dont waste your time here.

Review №51

This place used to be a great spot to get excellent sushi or a quick sandwich for lunch. Now, it has gotten rid of the sushi (50% of the reason I would go there, it was that good) and for the last three weeks the sandwich bar has been closed. I can only assume there was a mutiny and everyone left once they announced they would be changing the deli/food bar to only be open during a 6 hour window (9:30 - 3:30). The shelves are usually only half stocked, and everything is overpriced by comparison to Kroger, which does carry half of the item RR does at $2-$5 less than RR charges. All in all, this place used to be a frequent spot for me, but i think its time I start looking elsewhere for a quick lunch.

Review №53

The best place to shop for natural foods, vitamins, and supplements! Their return policy is the best Ive seen. If you dont like it, for whatever reason, you can return in.Theres always someone to help you when you have questions. Theyll spend as much time with you as you need without making you feel like youre overdoing it. If the clerk youre talking to doesnt know the answer, theyll find someone who does, or look it up if needs be.Their prices are better than the other stores, too. Being gluten and dairy free, this is the meat place for me to shop for a lot of my food.They have a salad and soup bar, too. You pay by weight. Theres also a cafe. I dont use these but Ive seen a lot of happy customers!

Decent selection, many items on sale. They are downsizing & remodeling right now. Hard for stores like this to compete with Whole Foods these days. Many are closing. Give them your business if you like shopping local. Also have a very nice salad bar and place to order sandwiches and smoothies, coffee, etc.

I love this place but the construction problem is killing them. Their shelves and supplies are hard to find and they dont have the volume we are used to. The church that owns the whole building is really messing things up. Ive gone to ordering online. Its still a great place but the construction makes me give them a lower mark. The staff is very helpful in theses trying time. They even looked and sounded stressed. Hopefully it will return to its old self. Bigger & Better

Amazing products, wonderfully high quality produce with many local farmers contributing to their selection, a salad bar unlike any other in the city and an availability of health foods,products and supplements you will be hard pressed to find anywhere else aside from online....really ahead of its time. the only thing stopping me from giving it five stars is the service/staff....overall id give the staff 5stars(majority of them at least,especially the core people who ive seen work here for the last 5 years or so however some of the staff especially some of the guys working in the cafe need to go, just not the friendliest and overall not great attitudes.

Review №78

Great idea - great products - really bad service. Wanted to buy some stuffed grape leaves off the fresh bar; an hour before closing and were told that we already put the utensils away so you can get any really nobody can get some utensils to make a customer happy? With competition like whole foods and fresh fair down the street a small store should go out of its way to make a customer happy.
