      I try stop in here whenever I'm in downtown Livermore as they always seem to have new items in and it's nice to support the small business.

      + Halo Top
      + Quest Nutrition products
      + Various different Peanut Butters
      + Sugar free Chocolate of varying kinds
      + Various different Herbs and Spices
      + Large selection of Supplements

      Whether you're looking for a specific product or jut browsing you'll almost certainly leave with more than you intended, even if you just come in to pick up a quick snack.

      5 stars for Van's Health Store!

      I love this little shop! They have a great selection of health products and their inventory is very stocked! Came in for some local honey and ended up wandering around for a little while just looking at all their different products.

      In addition, the service so SOO great. The employee behind the counter was beyond friendly and helpful and told us a little about the honey we bought.

      Overall - I most definitely recommend stopping by here if you are in he downtown Livermore area and looking for some high quality products!

      Honey - $11

      Tiny but clean, well-stocked and staff is very customer friendly. Was planning to stop by on my way home but was fighting traffic. Rushed in 2 minutes before their posted closing time. Older gentleman, possibly the owner, graciously stayed open until I made my purchase. Was very helpful and didn't hurry me as I made my decision. He even told me to call if I was running late again. He would stay, keep the store open and wait for me.

      They are a little old fashioned. While they do have minimal online presence, they don't have online purchasing. Again, the older gentleman was very helpful. He suggested calling and placing my order over the phone. He would then send my purchase by snail mail.

      Make sure you count your change if you pay cash.

      I went in yesterday to get local honey for my son. The product looks good and the price is good. I got a big jar for a little less than $26. I gave the lady at the register a $100 bill while I was chatting with another lady behind the counter and another customer at the store at that time. The lady put me my change on the table without counting back to me. I thought it was fine. But then I made a mistake for not counting myself before I put the change back to my wallet.

      After I got home, I decided to check my wallet just to see how much change I received, she gave me two $20 bills, two $10 bills, and four $1 bills, a total of $64. I was supposed to get $74 in change. I don't want to go back to argue for the $10 short since I am not sure how I can prove that. But to remind people and myself again to make sure you count your change. I hope it was a mistake from the mis-count (although I don't know how she would make the mistake since it shows the change on the receipt) and not something else.

      I try to spend a percentage of my budget for supplements and health products here. I appreciate being about to research new products in person and feel like that alone is worth the added price to support a local brick and mortar shop. The owners are also great for discussions and sometime there are surprises like a huge variety of One bar flavors!

      This small store stocks a lot of natural, vegan products. Their selection isn't huge but the people working there are very nice and can order products online to stock in store when requested. Some items can be pricey, but that's to be expected with specialty vegan and/or gluten free products. They also have a wide variety of bulk foods and spices, for those who are trying to go zero waste. I will be coming back often!

      Who knew that a strange vitamin health food store would have so many hidden gluten free gems!!!!

      They have oodles of delicious and hard to find gluten free food. They will also order items that are hard to find for you!!!!

      My only complaint is that the prices are VERY high so I wouldn't recommend getting groceries here very often.

      They have a really good selection of tea, vitamins and local Livermore honey as well.

      The staff is very knowledgable and helpful too! They always take the time to help you find exactly what you are looking for.

      Loveeeee Vans! It helps they are in the same parking lot as my work, but I would come here regardless. They are THE BEST, they have a cure for any ailment. They also do B-12 shots every month. Best store!!
