Essene market contains a wide selection of fresh vegetables, frozen foods, and traditional health food fare. The store also features a cafe area in the rear of the store. The menu varies daily but does have some "regular" menu items. You can also get freshly squeezed juice in several varieties.

These guys have been there a long time, and I'm sure they're feeling the pinch from Whole Foods. Essene is not as inviting or comfortable, and can't match WF's selection of prepared foods. But there's a good selection of organic and health-conscious dry goods and groceries, and it's probably a little bit cheaper overall.

Essene is a great store if you're looking specifically for organic and health food. It also has a nice section of ethnic condiments and such. I wouldn't use this as my primary grocery store because it doesn't have much in the way of staples, and it's pretty hit or miss whether they will have the dairy stuff in that I need. They have a little vegan cafeteria as well, which I haven't tried yet but it gets mixed reviews from my friends. They also have bulk spices so you can buy only what you need.
