The Vitamin Shoppe

Scored the cheapest deal on some specific organic multivitamins here (even compared to online retailers)! I’ve never really been here, but compared prices online for the item and Vitamin Shoppe offered the best deal. Turns out the item could be found in store (thanks to the online locator) and it was easy to find (thank to an organized and clean store). The in-​store price, while on sale, was $ 5 more than what I found on their website so the sales associate looked it up and kindly matched the price for me. I was in and out in five minutes flat with exactly what I needed.
(P.S. The vitamins I needed were $ 8 – 24 cheaper than other retailers!). Yay! I have been taking multivitamins for years and they really do contribute to healthier skin, hair, and nails.

Clean and bright… I like that
Decent selection and a good sale… I like that too.
Shockingly aloof employees… I don’t like that. I came in looking a mess, and I can’t help but think that I would have received much better service if I were dressed as my fabulous alter ego (aka not fresh from a workout).
There were SO many people working but I had to really work for help. Zero personality displayed by anyone. Totally devoid of charisma. It was like walking into a store manned by Androids. They weren’t even programmed to be helpful.
I spent about 45 minutes there looking for all the stuff I needed and, even when checking out, I didn’t sense the slightest bit of warmth — not even a hint of a smile.
These guys weren’t interested in educating or guiding me at all. As a speciality retailer, it makes me want to help them out with an employee training session because they definitely need it!
Management, get your team excited!

Love this place! Definitely my go to vitamin store. The staff is friendly but (unlike GNC) they leave you alone when you want to be left alone! I appreciate this way of business, over people trying to shove product down your throat. Especially at a store such as this. Thanks guys!

BF and I went inside to see about protein powders and supplements. I haven’t been in this particular location for a long time. New employees but they both were awesome. Hugo helped my BF out with finding some herbs that might help with his regimen. Jonathan was awesome. He spent a good ²⁰⁄₂₅ minutes explaining and answering all of our questions. Both were very knowledgeable! Very pleased with service there. Will definitely be back to buy some powder as soon as we figure out which ones we’re buying. There’s so many options to choose from!
ps. love the fact that they have many trial packets to try so you don’t waste money on nasty tasting protein shake powder.
keep up the great work.

This is my local Vitamin Shoppe. Lots of parking, easy to find as it is on the corner of Blossom Hill Rd and Santa Teresa Blvd, right behind Chevron gas station. The store is well lit, lots of light and a joy to shop in.
Staff here is very helpful, friendly and if you become a rewards member, you get a money off coupon at the end of the year. This store does honor Vitamin Shoppe online coupons.
Great place to shop for Protein powder, bars, vitamins, and other supplements.
Look at twitter and there facebook page for coupons prior to coming in
4 stars

Me and my boyfriend went to this vitamin shop location last Friday and Hugo, which i think is the store manager, was VERY KNOWLEDGEABLE ! we explained to him that the pre workout powder we are using is giving us an itchy /​tingly body reaction and he explained why we experienced that reaction and then gave us suggestions on other products. he was very nice and knew what hes talking about.
I give him 5 starts for him and also his friendly staff.
THANK YOU! :)

I like going to this place to stop by for a quick preworkout drink or to check out their promotions on protein.
Staff is super friendly and helpful.

I have purchased protein bars (Dr.‘s CarbRite) from this store on 4 different occassions. Each time the quality has been very poor even though the expiration dates are almost 1 year out. I do not have this problem when purchasing them from the Stevens Creek location or other suppliers. The only reason why I kept trying to buy them here is because it’s the closest to my home.
I have mentioned it to the store owner, Ryan and he said that he would send out an email. (Whatever that means.) He didn’t really seem to care. However, he said that I could return the bars with a receipt when I asked him.
To be more descriptive, the chocolate coating is several shades of brown including light, almost white shades in some areas. The taste is not fresh like I’ve had from Steven’s Creek. In a box, some bars looks better than others even though the dates are the same.
I have not purchased anything else from this store.

Always nice to come in here to stock up on my vitamins and getting great service!

Good location.
Plenty of parking.
The store is rarely packed with people.
The staff are very helpful.
They are pretty stocked with the latest and greatest of supplements.

Buy one get one ½ off this week on certain products. I normally do not buy in store for my Whey Protein Isolate but they are on sale today. They do carry many other health related supplements but they are pricey. I recommend to buy in store when they have sales. Otherwise, buy online, its 110% cheaper! :)

Small but they had everything I needed.

This place is located in a convenient place right off of 85. Always have a couple staff members on shift so you’re never waiting to ask questions or ask where something is. Love the website it’s easy to find products, the products benefits and read other peoples reviews. Free membership and receive coupons in the mail.

not the most awesome of supplement stores–
the staff is pretty uninformed and does not know all that much about muscle building chemistry. An associate incorrectly informed «kre-​alkalyn is a super protein that does not break down in the lower intestine but in the liver, and is incredibly stable on the shelf».
Not sure what he was getting at but kre-​alklyn is a form of Creatine which is a BCAA and is PH balanced which allows it to be broken down and absorbed later in the intestinal track and not in the stomach.
If you know what you are doing feel free to head here and take advantage of the their prices. If you are novice I would recommend going to a better local shop that can be a bit more informative on what to get.

3.5 stars.
Nice store, friendly staff. To be honest I don’t shop here a lot. I usually get my basic vitamin needs elsewhere, but they have a great selection of herbals and other items that tend to be pricier in other places. if you catch a sale, it’s totally worth it.
the layout of the store seems busy, but I think that’s just how it it. I also find some items overwhelming. Do we really need multiple brands of the same item? I have no idea. I just stand there trying to figure it all out.

I came in here to do an exchange on a 5lb tub of Bodytech (Vitamin Shoppe’s private brand) chocolate mint protein and got nothing but rude service from the manager.
The person who sold me the protein two weeks prior stated that he had never tried that flavor but that if i didn’t like it, i could bring it back to exchange no questions asked. Since his nametag said «MANAGER» on it i think it was safe for me to assume that he was the manager.
Well it turned out that the protein tasted like crap so i ended up bringing it back without the receipt. I told the girl whose nametag also said «MANAGER» about the situation and she didn’t believe me about my story and what the «MANAGER» told me. I described the employee to her and she said nobody here fit that description.
After giving me a hard time, the manager who did the exchange for me acted like she was doing me a favor by allowing me to exchange the protein without a reciept. «I’ll do it for you, but this is the ONLY and FINAL time I will do it» in a harsh tone.
Well how about this is the ONLY and FINAL time i will shop here from now on? I’m not trying to steal or anything. It was a crappy product and I wasn’t satisfied with it. So don’t treat customers like criminals. They probably get alot of people try to scam and use up the majority of the product before they decide that they don’t like it and try to return it for money. But out of this 5lb tub, I took a total of 3 shakes (6 scoops out of 80 servings) before bringing it back.
Supplement stores like this should be going above and beyond with customer service since everybody knows that it is insanely cheaper to buy them online.

This place has everything you need without the old asian lady employees at GNC and Vitamin World who don’t know a thing!!!
They have pretty decent prices… We all know that supplements are hella expensive so I ain’t even gonna front on that!!!
Service is good

Great place for supplements and selection, everything you need.

The service here is generally good. Once I got a guy who was really really stellar, very nice and we were talking about the Slice-​of-​Life Multi-​Vitamins which are just awesome… because they don’t taste like cardboard. Another time I got a girl was really interested in my protein powder. I’ve tried a lot of powder… protein that is… and the Nectar Chocolate Truffle one is the greatest! The last time I was there the lady who helped me didn’t say a word the entire time she was ringing me up. She didn’t look too happy either. Weird!

What an awesome store! When I was pregnant with my son I came here for my Rainbow Light vitamins. They are the only prenatal vitamins that didn’t make me sick! Lisa was kind and helpful and assisted me with all of my product inquiries. After my baby was born, I came here for Fenugreek and Blessed Thistle to increase my milk supply. They have a great varitey of vitamins, supplements, and natural care products. If you sign up for the Healthy Awards Program, you get a card which you use on each visit to accumulate between $ 5– $ 540 in free merchandise! Another great thing about this store is that Babies R Us is in the same shopping plaza so I was able to buy my vitamins and shop for my belly bump all in one trip!
