Reviews of Kiva Grocery Store (Fruit Store)

Jennifer Collier

I love coming to this store. The chefs in the kitchen have it DOWN. I'm always interested in what they do with kale or beets and the cashew curry chicken is insane. Be picky with the produce for the freshest, but good finds overall. Sweet people, nice books and fun novelties.

MaryAnn Roberts

Good shopping for local organic produce as well as an excellent deli, large variety of various health food items as well as an excellent coffee selection. Makes sandwiches to order as well as soups and salads.

Tiffany McDonald

Deli is amazing

Mary LaMorte

I haven't even been to the store yet! But we are new to Eugene (moved here on Tuesday) and being a single mom, with a sick little girl, I couldn't go shopping for her Easter basket. Megan at Kiva was absolutely wonderful! I told her how …

monika henry

My favorite place for produce because it's all organic and has great variety. Vitamins are good deli awesome and great employees.

Thomas Coleman

Carry lots of foods / items that can't be found at most stores. The prices are what one would expect at a store carrying specialty organic foods. Has a bulk section and fresh produce section as well.

Sandra Mort Zegalia

Dan Connor

Love the deli here.

Benjamin Farkash

Amazing variety for a relatively small space. Well stocked and well curated. Best cheese selection I've come across in Eugene. And the deli sandwiches are premium quality at a reasonable price. Nice assortment of loose leaf teas and bulk spices. Classic Eugene vibes, highly recommended

Melody Anne Murphy Kirk

The Kiva is fun and groovy. They have wonderful deli foods, great health foods and alternative items, and a cool collection of books and puzzles beyond the normal fare. Nice place.

Bonnie Watson

Like the stuff they have price is a little high

Carrie Denny

Somewhat pricey but the food is great.

Guy Metz

Nice please excellent sandwiches

Kahldria Leighsun

I love this place. Organic, new age, earth-loving goodness. Need a deodorant without aluminium and toxic chemicals? Or how about essential oils and lovely incense like Nag-Champa? They have a great selection of ethnic foods and fair trade coffee. Also fun stuff like books and henna. Every time I go I find something new, like natural sunblock with a decent spr. I could go on. A cool place full of cool people.

Ami Burton

This is the only place in Eugene I could find reusable cloth pads, and they were even made locally. Also picked up some delicious Thai chicken noodle from the deli that's worth mentioning.

Christine Boyd

Super amazing, found powder for my kitten when she had worms. Cleared up great

Jason McKnight

Love the deli and garlic kale rolls

Janet Pastick

I have been a regular at the Kiva for over 20 years. It says alot about an establishment whose workers stay with them for years and some for decades. If you have a question they will gladly answer it, and if they cannot, they will find …

John Soliz

Produce there is really fresh with other healthy food

Aja Vandenandel

Great staff

Christopher Brown

A great neighborhood grocery store with all the local, healthy fare. I was surprised with how competitive the prices were. When you shop for organic products you usually expect to pay an arm and a leg, but the kiva managed to offer a more then fare price. I was also suprised with the variety of products they had, I was able to check a few extra things off my list, that I thought I would have to do some extra shopping for. I would highly suggest stopping in and seeing what they have before you go running around town, they just might surprise you.

Tea, Sugar, Salt

Plusses: emphasis on fresh and local in the produce and meat sections, great selection of local pastries, cheeses from everywhere, and a huge variety of natural products for such a small space. Minuses: priced like a local natural grocery (meaning spendy), local produce means the selection's scant in the winter months, deli could have a bit more variety. Overall: Awesome place to pick up a few things downtown, have absolutely relied on it for a meal per day when finding myself with a moment between activities at the bus station, not a place I could rely on for weekly shopping. Love the Kiva for what it is.

Roxanna McDade

I would give them a higher review just for their products but I have had to deal with some of the rudest people here. From bitter attitudes to being accused of stealing and "taking too long while looking at their perfumes". The experiences have left me going to different stores.

JennNation 16

I'm always amazed by the beautiful produce here. The prices are super reasonable, the quality of the products are high-end. The sandwich shop in the back is stellar with great vegan options! It's always just fun to look in here because there's so many things jammed into a tiny place. You will literally find just about anything you need here.

H B

The Kiva is a great place to find food spices, health food and Vitamins.

David Whipp

Great health food store and deli. People working there are very friendly and helpful.

Canyon Amarys

Con: Expensive products and rude snotty employees. Pro: next door to my house. Wonderful selection of bulk products. Purchased $0.11 worth of cinnamon for a recipe once. that was great

Terri Love

Great store in downtown Eugene they have amazing deli with a large selection of assorted cheeses

Joseph Tuck

Best place for nature teas

Joyel Moore

Always a good experience everytime I shop here. Most of the time they have exactly what I need, especially for making body care products.

Frankie Jones

This store reminds me of a local 'natural foods' store that was in my area where I used to live (it has since closed), and stepping foot into the Kiva reminded me of that store, only bigger and with more stuff, like a deli and a produce section. One wouldn't expect to find this type of store downtown. For a small store, it's impressive. They have a little of everything. When I have more time, I'll have to be back.

Shalom Elohim

Very rude staff of employees. I entered their store one morning to purchase a few items and the 2 women working the checkout counters were very unfriendly to the degree of being outright rude that caused me to decide to not spend my money at their store. I personally recommend Sundance Market as their selection is much larger, better priced and their staff of employees are always very helpful and polite.

nick hernandez

They have an amazing fresh produce and cheese section. They're basil bunch is always so delicious.

Lynnette Alexander

This is absolutely my favorite grocery store! The produce quality is wonderful! The people are awesome. I Love the magnets, the greeting cards, the books, the ceramic mugs, little finger puppets, essential oils, ear candles, shampoo & conditioner, gosh, they have a lot of great stuff!! Wish they had more of Synergy Kombucha though. They only had one flavor when I was there last.

The Galgani's

Awesome, the only place in Eugene or Springfield that you can find grape leaves!!

B. McGill

Go to the deli and order a sandwich. You will not be disappointed.

Jess BB

Great store. Very clean and good prices. The selection is impressive for how small the store is. Very nice costumer service. I plan to shopping here often.

Dawn Curry

Good service nice selection

Alaric Holmes

Great organic/natural food store, and their deli and cheese sections rival any place else's. Their store-made pasta dishes are very satisfying, especially the sun dried tomato and pesto pasta (without the peas -- there's another one with peas that's very different and not my thing).

peggy thomas

Lovely place and great variety ... It's a little hard to get down some of the isles in a wheelchair but worth trying to ... Only place in town I can find some of the herbs I use and they have a fantastic bulk foods selection and knowledgeable people always willing to help me with anything

J.W. Marsten

Friendly staff and great bulk goods. Bit more expensive than I like but it's also all organic and all those things that make things more expensive so it's not a corner store despite being on the corner, it's closer to a specialty grocer. I really like the cheese selection as well, very good stuff.

zachary peterson

Great quality stuff. But they banned a friend and i for being homeless.

Amber Lynn

They've always got friendly and smiling staff. I love to go in to their deli for their yummy sandwiches. Their vegetable soup reminds me of some truly homemade stuff. The kind grandma makes.

zcosmos9

Forget Whole Foods, this is the way a good health food store should be.Great local produce , excellent deli fare and Kombucha on tap!

Robert canas

Very rude and snobby Workers. The cashier rolled her eyes when I asked her if they had cheaper bread!

Irene Marcus

Great selection of good and interesting products. Community oriented. Good deli.

Amy Smith

Love this place. A great local eugene spot.

Loura Greenlee

Love to get a sandwich, oils & more, good Quality Good location near bus station.

Cord Slatton-Valle

Great local grocery store, amazing cheese case and everything you need, even has bulk bins.

Rebecca Amodeo

I love this store and their great cheese selection. They also have good bulk sections with 15% on Wednesdays every other month. And I love that they were open on Easter.

Claire

I always love the selection of produce, and the body care aisle is my heaven. In the past I have always found the cashiers to be friendly and sweet, but unfortunately recently I have noticed that they aren't as nice. I stopped in with my kid on Saturday and we made two small purchases (had to go back for something I forgot), and the cashier that served me both times was very unfriendly.l towards me. She seemed more interested in chatting with the other cashier. I don't expect to be treated like royalty, but I do choose to shop at smaller local stores because it feels more personal. As I said, this isn't a one off, and for the time being it won't affect my decision to spend my money here, for the time being at least. Hopefully my next visit will be better.

david zahn

Very good place for your Organic ingredients...

April Bryant

Awesome things in there. Lots of bulk food

David Adee

They go on my inatagram and comment on me manwich

Great Store, Great Food Selections, Everything is Healthy here!! - Even the Attitudes of the STAFF and SHOPPERS. Simply walking

Andrew

Great place to get fresh, local and authentic groceries

B U

Great selection, friendly staff. That salad bar sure looks tasty!

jill nightingale

Great store and convenience too. They have the best ever bulk P-nut butter and other butters not able to find anywhere else in town...great bulk p-nuts...not too roasted. And a friendly guy named Zeke who is actually nice. Love Cornell too and his laugh, it can make your day! Been shopping here since 1976.

Eli Fulk

Great location and selection but prices are very high.

akinabonita

The experience inside the store was great. I easily found what I was looking for, it was very clean. I spent near $40.00 on sandwiches and drinks for myself and two of my daughters. We sat in the parking lot in a parked car to eat and talk and a brunette woman came and told us we were there for to long and told us we had to leave. I was really frustrated with that as we were only there about 30 minutes and it was incredibly rude.

Rain Blossom

Pretty cool little market. Nice selection of healthy products. The guy who helped us at the deli was nice, but the rest of the staff was pretty cold and aloof. A friendly staff would make this a great place.

Carrie Mizejewski

I think the Kiva Deli offers the best lunch under $10. Great spot for a quick lunch to go if picnicking at a park.

Elias Shalhoub

Great market almost had everything I wanted

Kristin Bennett

Love this place! Exceptional loose tea selection. I don't ever buy premade deli stuff, but I did here and was worth it. Had sesame noodles and tempeh teriyaki. Amazing! Another fabulous feature is that they buy produce that is local. Also have a great beverage selection. Go hungry, eat at the deli, grab a drink and snack and do your shopping. See ya there!

Chris Hendrix

The Kiva has been doing it right for years. I'm always impressed by being able to find what I'm looking for. They seem to have everything I've needed. From saffron to mango and much more

Scott Manton

Good place for natural and organic foods including bulk teas, coffee and foods Has sandwich offerings and coffee too. They also have wide variety of chocolates

Dylan C

Great selection for such a small space. This is the only full grocery store I know of that is actually in downtown. While I do appreciate having one, it is frustrating when there is not a cheaper "conventional food" available in walking distance. However, this is not the Kiva's fault, so it did not impact my star-rating. There is a parking lot, but it is located on a busy street, so be on alert getting in and out during peak hours. A very cute place and worth checking out if you live in the area.

Dana Askay

Very helpful staff and variety of the organics. A bit pricey. Interesting place to browse for unique items.

Hot Sauce Dave

They have high-quality product in dried goods and spices and produce section is very very fresh looking. Basically a lot of organic stuff

hixie rice

There's something fishy going on at The Kiva. faces are angry, jaws are clenched, costumer service has diminished to the point of employees turning on their heels and racewalking into the back room.

Christina Bellini

Best little grocery store in town. Great deli and bulk section.

Phil V

This is a great little market and the staff is very friendly and informative. Their prices are fairly high but their selection is pretty good and they keep a lot of things on hand. overall I'm very happy with the product I purchased there and I would return when I'm in the area.

Mike Akers

Super good selection of organic foods

Annette Hepner

I always used to shop here for bulk items. Not so much any more. They are WAY over priced and I can get the same items online.

petra gold

Still good after all these years, prices could be more competitive, hopefully extra is going to staff pay

Gary Gardner

Great people, good prices and the deli is awesome!

Lindy Polf

Ahp there health h food store expensive and crowded always only have three cashers

Milo Miro

Kiva is special in the way that it offers a unique variety of quality foods supplements and a deli that offers freshly prepared foods and many tasty items to go from their pasta pea salad a personal favorite to baked chicken falafel rice and veggie salads .I also love their cucumber salad .prices are affordable great service and helpful staff well informed about any of their products sold.a classic winner in my book.service is usually quick however at times it does get a bit crowded at peak times.enjoy the experience.

brocksprogramming

Used to go to the Kiva all of the time. Great place that absolutely represents Eugene in its entirety. The people that work there were great conversationalists. Good people.

Brian McClerren

Great stuff if you don't care what anything costs. Stopped in for a 10 item soup recipe and gave up after half my list put us over $50. Cold and unwelcoming vibe for such an old fashioned market. Big $$$ date night treats and cheeses. Guess I'll take my family back to Whole Foods?

Aj Hibdon

Organic delights

Black Widow

Great little market downtown. Lots of organic and vegan options. Local pastries. Dynamite deli but it's super popular so have patience but definitely worth the wait. Cute little book nook too.

Joseph Lipton

One of the cornerstones of of the Eugene scene. A must visit for visitors.

Stari Skye Moralez

Comfy little downtown health food market. Good deli, great coffee, awesome selection of cheeses and breads. They also make a decent sandwich and have local donuts for sale. I especially enjoy buying from their bulk section- anything from seasonings to honey, hot chocolate, coffee beans. You name it they have it in bulk ;). There's a little bit of everything in this store. They have a dairy section and a produce section as well.

Jessa Grace

Awesome little grocery store and fresh delhi. Yummy fresh food, decent prices for good quality. Very convenient location right near the bus hub.

Jill Clark

Prices God. Gets busy at lunch. Store is smaller than Trader Joe's. Good prices.

shawn stone

This is a really nice store with friendly and knowledgeable staff..been there a few times from out of town. Would go back again,as we look forward to going there every time we're in town!! Organic produce is available. A large selection of cheeses,and eclectic Foo choices...bulk spices are available. This store is really great,you won't be disappointed. Only drawback is homeless people everywhere...panhandlers don't hang out by the store..but are close by...
