One of the original health food stores. Expensive? Yes, but you are paying for experience and knowledge. I have been shopping here for years, when I am in NYC I make a point of stopping in to see what new. I love this shop and the orange bags.

Sadly, I can no longer frequent what used to be my favorite lunchtime spot. I liked the salad bar & prepared foods -- much healthier than most other options available in that area. All this changed when last week I purchased a prepared food item (the veggie rolls) and found mold covering all of the rolls! Not sure how long it takes for dry brown rice to grow mold but my guess is it takes a looong time. According to the experation date sticker added by the store, this item was safe to eat. The main reason that I am writing this is not b/c of the moldy food -- this can happen (I guess) but because of how poorly this situation was handled. The staff questioned where I bought the item (despite the fluorescent price tag that clearly says Bell Bates) and also seemed to suggest that I waited months to return the item (??). Finally, after insisting that I did not want to purchase another food item, they relunctly refunded my $3.75. I hope that things turnaround for BB -- In the meantime, I'll miss having a local health food spot to go to for lunch.

I love Bell Bates. I go here at least 3 times a week. They are a full service health food store with deli, juice bar, salad bar, vitamins and everything else. The lines can get long during lunch hours but that only means that they are busy. The prices are right, they have a sale flyer (much cheaper than Whole foods). I always joke with the staff. They are helpful and knowledgable. They have been in TriBeCa for a really long time and I hope they stay there. I just wish they would open Sundays. But otherwise a great store.
