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.

The Forum Clovers is my favorite. The staff is so friendly, knowledgeable and fun to chat with. The layout makes sense. Good deals that rotate. I am thrilled they carry some amazing things that are otherwise hard to find in Columbia. The store is kept clean. Never had a bad or expired product from this store. Check out their new bulk section. Best organic and gluten free options around.
