Clovers Natural Market - Food & Drinks category in Columbia

"I should preface this review immediately by saying I believe myself to be at the fringe of the target demographic for this grocery. All my life I've never paid significant attention to organic or all natural foods, health supplements, probiotics, the wealth of herbs, oils, and healthy offerings presented. However after a health scare last January, I've become a budding amateur cook who prepares all meals from scratch (only eaten out 4 times since). My desire to explore new dishes and flavors has expanded beyond what the traditional grocery store has to offer. Specifically, fresh herbs, spices and bulk grains - which the Columbia Reddit suggested Clovers would be excellent for. They were correct. Their selection was impressive, and I found many rare things I had considered only available online - including zero sodium baking soda and powder. Spices like sumac, za'atar, mint, harissa and raw ginger root in addition to more common fresh spices in bulk. I kind of went crazy to be honest. It was the best smelling grocery bag ever. Their grains and bulk bins were impressive, with various types of flours, rices, barleys, lentils, all things I haven't found at larger stores. I wandered the rest of the store of course, and found several items of interest like locally made honey, produce and dairy. They also have an interesting side section full of books on healthy living, cooking, and supplements. The store itself was clean, well organized, the staff polite and quick to ask if I needed help finding anything. Prices seemed very reasonable, though it may be a little higher than you'd find at bulk stores because of their organic or all natural nature. Parking was easy out front, with handicapped spots right at the door. If you're into healthy eating, Clovers should definitely be a stop in your grocery shopping."

"I am forever grateful for this place, Clovers! They have everything you need in one place. The staff is super helpful and so friendly. It's very clean and neat! Healthy and Organic. We need more places like this, Everywhere! I drive 30 minutes weekly or every other week just to come here to shop! ♡ I would love to see this place expand to surrounding counties/cities if possible 😍😉 thank you for all you do for your communities!"

"Great selection of items. The produce and the healthy items are super. I like the wine selection and the dried items like beans are plentiful."

"We love Clover’s! The Forum location is our go-to as it is close by, and it’s one of our favorite places to shop. The bulk section is particularly fabulous! I love their loose leaf teas and trail mixes. We’ve really tried to shift to shopping smaller and more locally, and shopping at Clover’s is such a joy. A bonus is that they carry many of the same brands and farmers that are at the farmer’s market, so if we miss something on Saturday, we can almost always count on being able to find it at Clover’s. The staff is kind and helpful, and always willing to answer any questions. Shop small and add them to your grocery rotation! :)"

"I work across the street and really lucked out with this gem! The produce is phenomenal. Always a good selection and sometimes unique things to try. They have excellent snacks for any dietary need and cleaner ingredients. The staff is always friendly and helpful. It's a really good vibe."
