What would otherwise be a welcome addition to Portland is instead a nasty place due to the treatment of customers. The review by kindlizard says a lot that is worth paying careful attention to. Thought the same thing about the oils. Never keep oil in light and use dark storage vessels. I'd be more forgiving if they were against hate but instead they emanate it.

Hostile staff, rancid oils & webbed flours - Edit
Extremely hostile staff
Read moreI would give it less stars, but there is a base 2 stars for a vegan listing.
The staff here were extremely hostile toward all the patrons in the store when we went, including a child, in line with other reviews as well.
The oils are in clear glass, as shown in a picture in a different review, in the window, in the heat and sunlight! This is how oils degrade and become denatured!!! This is how rancidity happens! Selling rancid oils is toxic!!
I think its safer to know the chain of custody is healthful than to buy oils that are in clear glass in direct sunlight, even it makes it look inviting and Karen-yoga-studio-chic, it is NOT how oils are kept and only serves to spoil them!!!
Cleanliness is a disappointing factor. The flour we bought had little webs in it, likely from being stored improperly (maybe too hot? - back stock maybe kept cool might help their investment stay longer rather than passing the loss onto the customer).
Surprising they can stay in business selling subpar food that has gone bad. I did not keep a receipt...
several reviews have been pulled from here, which in my case, adhere to the policy which I am extremely clear on. how many other inappropriate times has the "ambassador" pulled the review? maybe we should get the webmaster involved? how many reviews does she monitor for her agreement? this place is problematic, the food the vibe and I am allowed to tell my experience, that is what HC is based on.

Nowhere did I suggest it is a jihadist money laundering scheme, I didn't reference the materials that celebrate the sexual assaults and murders of innocence they keep on their counter. I referenced the oils and flours and that I had no receipt, now I recall they dont give them which is why i didnt find mine.

After talking about this place with others it has been brought to my attention that they have used emails the obtain from using credit cards to go after certain customers, as they openly show the emails on their own facebook feed proudly. this is a violation of trust and they do it toward 1 very specific subset of the population/ demographic, let you guess who. Maybe reconsider giving these folx your credit cards
