This jam-packed, well-organized store is a treasure trove of organic produce, meat and dairy, vegetarian, vegan and raw foods, and environmentally friendly cleaning and paper products. The market also caters to people on the go with an organic coffee bar just inside the door, and a wide selection of packaged sandwiches, soups and salads.

In a reply to JustSharingMyThoughts, I too worked at Westerly startig in 1987 in the Health Food Dept. I remember Herman ver well, very knowledgeable, & the lines to speak to him wound past mty cash register. I loved working for Elliot Toback, all the staff in health food liked him. He kept the shelves stocked with all the latest products & was also very knowledgeable. Later I moved to the office to do billing & whatever else was required. My time at Westerly was "memorable" to say the least . I live in the Bronx now & haen't been back, but I hear the store has really grown under Michael Toback.

I used to work for Westerly Pharmacy 21 years ago in the billing and surgical supply department. Anyone remember Herman Cipnik (forgive me if I mispelled his name) This gentleman knew his stuff as it related to health advice. I remember the lines to speak to him, boy were they long. He was in his 90's back then and with a head full of silky silver hair. He was the best in his field as is the Toback family, Owners of Westerly Pharmacy. They ran a tight ship which allowed their customers to have the best service. Remembering Westerly Pharmacy just makes me smile knowing the depth of care and consideration in their business and how it services its customers. If there were more property for them to buy on that block for expansion, I am sure that they would have purchased it a long time ago. But who cares about the size of an aisle when you are in the best of care. I am in another state now but will call them today to have my items shipped. You all can join me in doing the same..................... westerlynaturalmarket . com Sincerely, Former New Yorker
