Wonderful store and customer service. Great selection of cooking supplies: flours, grains, sprinkled, A2A2 milk, candy and nuts area with the best treats, herbs & spices, bacon, butter, fresh home grown veggies from their garden in season and much more. You need to check them out for sure!
This place has some of the most eclectic ingredients Ive found outside of a rural fair. If youre an aspiring herbalist, a cook looking for dried porcinis and shittakes, a Neville Longbottom fan, or just a baker looking for a great variety of flours, you can find ingredients here, and everything seems reasonably priced.
This is a great place!! The owner is very helpful and nice! If he doesnt carry something and you suggest it he will try to work with you. So much stuff at great prices> FYI he always has a huge amount of sprinkles and sugars for xmas cookie cake decorating. A must for natural living! And lots of baking and spices!!!!
I LOVE URBAN BULK! Dennis is super kind, and the bulk medicinal herb collection is wonderful. Ive requested herbs that have been added to the inventory. The quality of the goods is very impressive. You can find lots of great flours, local maple syrup, snacks for a long road trip, artisan salts, cleaner spice blends, etc. Youll be glad you stopped in, especially in summer for the local produce!
This is my go-to for hard to find spices and pantry items. The prices are great too.
Found this lovely little shop because its one of the only places around that sells soy curls! They have a very interesting selection of baking needs and spices at wonderful prices.
Pros: This is a cute yet small community grocer. While they don’t have everything you need, they do have plenty of the basics and necessities for cooking and baking. It’s reasonably priced and they’re always friendly and quick with their service.Cons: All products come in plastic. It would be nice to see them switching to bulk bins and people could use a reusable container. The other thing I notice is some of the food that is “healthy” is not healthy. Make sure you read the ingredients and understand what’s in your food before purchasing. It’s easy to mistake some of the products as healthy if you don’t understand product ingredients.
Great prices for spices! This is the epitome of a local shop, providing little necessities for local customers. They cater to the local consumers who need basic goods and their prices are very reasonable. Customer service is top notch. Highly recommend.
Love this small store full of wonderful bulk items, a lot are hard to find. They owner Dennis is so friendly.
This is such a fun unique store in Lakewood. Love Amish bulk food stores but dont love the drive? Right here in the city you can stop in and get all your favorites from the Amish Country style bulk food store without the drive. You will also always find some unique extras as well from various local craftsman like homemade gingerbread kits at Christmas or locally made soap. My favorite store in Lakewood it is a MUST see if you havent been before.
Dennis runs a great shop. Terrific prices on herbs & staples in no nonsense clamshell packaging. High quality organic goods & specialty items. His bacon is to die for! At Christmas, dont forget to grab a bottle of eggnog!
Best staff,products amazing spices ect you need a spice they have it from large bulk to smattering amounts.
This is such a sweet place to get Amish eggs, cheese, bacon & butter. They also have any spice, salt, flour you can possibly think of. Ooooh and they have candy too! Love this place!
This is an absolutely hidden gem in Lakewood (similar to Lakewood Hardware). A fantastic array of bulk food options from a natural perspective would, I guess, be the best way to describe it. Amongst other things, if you are in to baking, it has a well varied supply of flours.
Urban bulk is modeled after the Amish way.They buy bulk and break it down to inexpensive packages. They have milk with the cream cap in glass bottles and many other delights. The powdered soups are very good. I buy all my many flours there.
Awesome local grocery store, modeled like Amish stores, with everything pre-weighed and priced by weight in stackable plastic packages.Lots and lots of kind of flour and sugar, great place to come if youre baking. Nutritional yeast, soy curls, textured vegetable protein all sold here for your veggie friends. Local honey and maple syrup. Herbs, spices, bentonite clays, activated charcoal, and all kinds of stuff.I wish there was a way to bring my own container and have it filled, instead of buying their things prepackaged tho
Friendly service, the owner is very nice. they have some unique items you cant find anywhere else. The prices are competitive. My only complaint would be the items that are packaged by the owner arent dated, so you dont know how long they have been sitting on the shelf.
Urban Bulk Foods fills a grocery niche that was needed on Madison Avenue. Its perfect for running in to get enough flour for a cake, to get bacon and eggs, milk, and butter and cheese, or a mix for breads, whether whole grain, gluten free, quick or risen. The proprietors are friendly people who also supply fresh veggies in season from their garden, and if they dont sell a particular item, they can direct you to a local merchant that does!
Small but rather complete set of offerings. Much of the products come from Amish businesses. So many cooking herbs spices and ingredients but there are also sweets and other snacks as well as some cheeses and more. If youre going through the area then check it out. Everything in there is well priced.
Awesome store! they even have Cardamom! for cheap too! do you know how hard it is to find? and its usually expensive. Anyways, the service was excellent too. Lots of local stuff too, which is amazing.
Tiny treasure trove of bulk packaged foods. Dried beans, sprinkles, various sugars, flours, muxes, much more. Amish cheeses, some meats, eggs. Paradise for bakers with many hard-to-find items. Reasonable prices, friendly staff.
This place is a local treasure- pretty much any dry good staple can be found, plus a lot of specialty flours and other stuff I havent heard of. Good coffee and tea selection. I highly recommend this place.
Great little store with excellent local coffee (Bent Tree!) and food packaged in the size you need. Great for single people and couples because they have smaller containers of everything but their prices are good enough for families as well.
I love this place! You can find almost anything you need for baking & so many different spices. Reasonably priced also.
AWESOME store!!! Go in just to check it out or talk to the super nice staff! Or get ANYTHING, youll find many great uses for it and it might become one of your new favorite things! I could spend way to long here.
The items that they didnt have they said they were ordered with was the red clover the knuckles and the Goldenrod and I will do that prior to my next event customer service was good though they were also out of the tea balls
Loved this unique shop right here in Lakewood. Great assortment. Great buys.A taste of Amish shopping right here.
Very cool store. Great quality on flours, spices & other hard to find ingredients!!
I love this place. I was able to buy stuff I cant find anywhere else. The staff was so friendly, thank you.!❤ Ill definitely be back.
Very awesome local business I love shopping here to get soy curls (one of the best vegan proteins) and Cleveland Tofu.
Great selection of raw ingredients in small or large increments. Flours, grain berries, soup bases, candy, chocolate, tea, bar soap, seeds for sprouting grains, eggs, cheese, Granola bars, jams, and more. Shop for elemental foodstuffs, not colorful boxes!
I always find everything on my list, as well as new things to try, all at fantastic prices. You couldnt ask for a more inviting store or nicer staff. I wish I could give them 10 stars!
Wide variety of healthy ingredients for cooking and snacking. And he has some of the more obscure goodies that are more difficult to find. The owner is also a very nice man.

Great place to get spices at low rates and even some exotics that are hard to find.
As much as I like this store, I thought the purpose of bulk stores was to help cut down on waste. Majority of this store is repackaged into smaller plastic containers.
Buying whole grains is healthy for your body, buying them here instead of whole foods is healthy for your soul
This guy has the situation under control. He is taking all necessary precautions to stay covid-19 safe.

2022-06-16I love a lot, they have all natural food, herbs, seed ,etc that I need. And they are crossing the street where I work Holistic Lakewood 💆♀️💆
Review №2
2022-01-30Amazingly Large variety of dry good. Disappointed with size of bulk packaging. If trying to save $ and be environmentally friendly wish items were packaged in larger bags, containers. If Im buying what I need here its producing a larger amount of plastic waste... That defeats the purpose of purchasing is bulk.

2021-12-29Asked if i want a bag when i got 4 containers that would be cumbersome to carry without a bag. minus one star. asked if i want my receipt instead of just giving me one like she is too lazy to hand over a receipt. minus another star. surly tone and overall bad attitude minus another star. the visit was around 2:30pm on december 29th 2021. they carry quinoa. only reason i paid a visit because i was looking for quinoa. would i visit again? prob not seems like theyre nicer to people of the regional demographics.

2021-07-31Marvel of a shopping experience. A little bit of everything. The prices will have you questioning yourself as to whether you step back in time to the 1970s. Clean quality and value items. Why pay more elsewhere. Friendly and comfortable atmosphere, make for an incredible shopping experience. I must tell for all your friends and family.💕By far my favorite store option for shopping.

2021-05-15Great neighborhood find! Stuffed full of spices at great prices like you would find in Amish country but closer to home. Theres candy fixings, flour, honey, fruit fillings and so much more. Worth the visit if youre a home chef.

2020-01-16I Love this little gem of a store! It is packed full of organic bulk spices and food. I really like that they carry smaller packages too.They sell Cleveland ketchup, which I didnt even know existed, and is the best ketchup Ive ever had! I bought non GMO purple popcorn kernels which pop up fast and is so white too. Every kernel popped. Its delicious without salt or butter. I have given it as gifts and the recipients loved it too. (They sell other colors of popcorn too, by the way.) And the fresh bacon in the refrigerated section is a nice touch. The owner is very friendly and personable. He answered all my questions with a smile. The woman behind the counter was also friendly and personable too. I HIGHLY recommend this store, especially over the larger corporate owned stores.
