Treehouse For Earth’s Children

I’ve been hesitating to write a review because the place is confusing to me. There are some products to buy, but it looks like they’ve sat there on the shelves for a long time and need to be dusted. I’m not a fan of a place that serves food being dusty. On the other hand, the people are genuine, friendly and are willing to help. The food I had was okay, but the whole time I was eating it, I kept thinking about all the dust. The juice (i think I had the antiviral) was very good. I’d rather do 3.5 stars, but I can’t push it to 4. I keep thinking about the creepy taxidermy snake in the eating area.

Disclaimer. From a very personal perspective.
From the outside, the sign is very beautiful and calls for a hipstery yet classy vibe. At least for me. But when I walked in, I was very disappointed. It’s like a very cramped supermarket with mostly empty shelves. There definitely are things to look at and items to purchase, especially if organic, green, wheatgrass, natural blah blah blah is your kind of thing. I’m not looking down on that at all. Seriously, I’m not. I’m just saying it could be displayed better and kept… cleaner? I have no doubt that they try but everything looked dark and dank … weird…
I actually went there for lunch, not realizing that there was all these other things but when I went up to the counter looking at the menu, I decided there really was nothing for me.
There’s a little museum of weird, well I don’t think that’s what its called but that’s what I remember it as, right past the fridges with the cakes and pies on the left if you enter in the same door I did, and it has some interesting info in there but it’s like a butt load of info cramped into a closet space.
I’m one of those people who would rather be weird than normal, but this was way weird for me. It certainly is worth just checking out once if you’re into this kind of thing but I think I’ll stick to Whole Foods for whatever natural products needs I have.

I have mixed feelings about the Treehouse. As other people posted, the place seems pretty dirty. They do have a great variety of herbs, a lot of which they grow there. I have had a few different experiences with staff. Sometimes they are helpful and knowledgeable, but some staff seem lost and unsure. Most of the time my needs are met, though. I tried the raw pizza last time I was in. It was delicious. The carob cookies are tasty too. I say… give the place a try, but have in mind what you are looking for before you walk through the door.

Scary good. We go for lunch every now and then and the food is yummy. All vegetarian. Healthy and delicious. I crave the avocado sandwich on grilled bread. Lots of raw options… like a raw carrot cake! Smoothies and tea and their own bizzaro water system. Shots of wheatgrass that make me feel… I don’t know… dizzy and buzzed. It’s dark and dusty inside with a tiny café area amid herbal remedies and books. They offer massages. It’s a weird place tucked into some off the beaten path building. You really, really need to experience it at least once in your life.

Talk about an organic atmosphere. If you are into wheatgrass shots, carob candy, naturally sweetened cookies, fresh veggie juice or herbal remedies galore this is a good place to go. Hidden in the back of the street (if you past a Zap Zone you’re in the right direction) is a homeopathic gem. I came in there with the beginnings of a cold I wanted to rid myself of and was assisted to a book about herbal remedies (find your ailment) and a very helpful store clerk suggested a mix of wheatgrass, carrot, organic lemon juice and some other stuff which she freshly squeezed on the spot. I also like red clover and they carry their teas and herbs in bulk –weighed on a scale at the counter. The drink was so delicious I forgot I drank it to actually help with my cold. Continued on with my errands and the persistent burning throat was gone. I woke up the next morning feeling tip top. It took me half a day to realize that juice did some justice and I found a less than 4 dollar cold remedy that tasted like lemonade. Score!
