AVONDALE: A new health-food store, bakery and juice bar opens its door

Avondale Natural Foods, a new health-food store, bakery, café, and juice bar, opened in Avondale on Monday, Jan. 26. You'll recognize the manager, Art, who used to run the now-closed Spring Run health-food store on Route 1. As soon as I walked in he gave me a hearty welcome and enthusiastically pointed out the shop's features, like the organic produce, the café and the fresh-baked bread (Elon is the baker).
The store, located in in a renovated bank building, is well stocked and carries everything you'd expect: snacks, soup, coffee, tea, pasta, baking ingredients, jellies and nut butters, vitamins, personal care items, "green" cleaning products, frozen food, nuts, berries, juices, grains, and lots more. I even found the coconut oil that I'm going to use in a recipe for "healthy fudge brownies" that Barbie Vannote shared.
I bought a round loaf of sourdough bread, and it was wonderful.
The store's juice bar/café offers coffee, green "shots," juices, smoothies, chili, soup, sandwiches and salads. You can even eat at a table in the old bank vault, which has a wonderfully ornate metal door.
The store is at 122 Pennsylvania Avenue (Route 41), next to the Avondale post office. Hours are Monday through Friday, 10 a.m. to 7 p.m.; Saturday 10 a.m. to 6 p.m.; and Sunday 11 a.m. to 5 p.m.

  1. Green house cleaning services are cost-effective over traditional cleaning services, and the additional, long-term savings makes certain that green cleaners cost even less.
