AI summary based on Thingtesting reviews
Erewhon is my favorite store ever! They sell such a large variety of products. I think they get a reputation for being expensive but there’s a range of prices, anyone can afford to shop here. They offer a variety of products you don’t see anywhere else. Their rice balls and buffalo cauliflower wings are amazing. The website is easy to navigate and have items shipped to your house.

Here's the deal with Erewhon - you hate it, you hate to be in it. But, you're there all the time. The drinks from the cafe are to die for, and the fresh juices and soups are amazing - plus, you get to flex that you've been to Erewhon with the branded mason jar that you'll never return.

Let's be real - Erewhon is for shoppers who are in the top 1% of the US. There's no room for anyone who is making less than six figures, really. I find the pre-packed food items are sub-par and most of the brands you can get elsewhere are worth getting elsewhere. The experience of walking down the aisles and laughing at the $20 gallon of milk, $15 container of blueberries, and $25 bottles of water almost makes up for the 20-minute wait to get your smoothie from the cafe.

The poshest grocery store in the world 😂 It’s hard to explain to my non-LA friends how amazing Erewhon is when they haven’t experienced it first hand. I’ve been shopping there since my LA college days and always make a stop there whenever I’m in town. I’m not sure that I’d pay for one of their celeb smoothies but their selection of products is astounding.

As someone who grew up with Dean & Deluca, I was thrilled by Erewhon. The prices are extremely high, but aside from that, the selection of products, produce and prepared foods was excellent, with so many brands I can never find. I had to try the famous smoothies, and personally thought it lived up to the hype, even if it was overpriced. While it wouldn’t be the place to do my regular grocery shopping I would certainly frequent their many locations.

Their smoothies.... are sadly worth the $20 it will cost you. I wish I could recreate this at home! I have tried and failed. I love their smoothies and GF Mac & Cheese!! Worth it. They do have so many things that are not worth the $$$ so choice wisely.

Save up and treat yourself :)

This is the bougiest grocery store you will ever go to, so be prepared to spend a lot of money. They have such a good offering of clean brands. Their hot bar & smoothies are so good & very filling, but very expensive. I really like their fresh juices, soups & housemade bone broths. The celebrity smoothie partnerships are fun & it gets me to order a drink I might not have before.
The only lifestyle bloat I allow myself with my postgrad job is shopping for all my groceries at Whole Foods and I am so glad I don't live in LA because I'd go broke at Erewhon. Is it overhyped? Possibly! Is it outrageously expensive? Yes! I will never fail to love this store and the tuna hand rolls I got there in 2021.
Vert sophisticated, luxury supermarket. Their stores are a must see since all products are neatly and well organized/shelved. Their in-house packaging are very stylish that a bottle of almonds in a glass bottle can be reused in your pantry. The eco-bags are expensive (like $60 a piece) but it does look nice and usable. I love to see food and beverages that are unique and what a lot of supermarkets don't carry just yet. They sure are catching the trends first. The only downside is that since it is on the luxury end most of the products are a bit expensive. But definitely worth going inside once!
The hype is real. Best grocery store for all the "cool" brands I am looking for - and things that are really hard to find elsewhere. Love this place - wish they had east coast locations.
Erewhon markets itself not as a "grocery store" but a "lifestyle brand" and I truly believe that is the only way to think about it. Erewhon isn't an everyday store for your everyday product purchases, but is a great place to get a quality prepared meal (expecting to pay restaurant prices), shop around a beautiful space, and try a variety of new products. Some products are marked up above going prices, but others truly are a fair deal. In addition, they showcase many small, local brands, which is a fantastic way to try and learn about them. Think, Thingtesting in retail form. I love the brand ambassadors that set up shop on any given day to sample products and tell you more about the founding stories. If in LA and looking for a treat, or to try that next viral smoothie, I recommend splurging for the "experience".
I know it’s wayyyyyyy overpriced but it’s so worth it. I could browse through erewhon for ages. Side note the erewhon soups are literally the greatest thing ever. As a Mexican with a father who is a wonderful cook, the erewhon chicken tortilla soup is literally one of the greatest things I’ve ever had. Regardless of the price I will make budget to keep going.
Their house-made tortilla are out of this world.
Price is really the only complaint here because of course their food and drink offers both packaged and fresh are incredible! My dream someday is to only do my grocery shopping here!
I didn’t know one could love a supermarket that much before Erewhon. It’s outrageously expensive but I just love the superb quality of their products, innovativeness and that it’s truly organic.
Lots of fun, unique (expensive) brands at Erewhon! I would never shop at Erewhon for actual groceries, but it’s fun to browse and discover new brands while sipping on a smoothie.
I love their smoothies, especially the probiotic one. But the customers are horrendous, so pretentious and ignorant .
Worth the hype, the smoothie is really good taste wise and seems healthy. Obviously not worth the $20 price but worth checking out while visiting LA
Erewhon is a fun experience. The food and drinks are solid but are definitely a treat at the hefty price point. If I treat it as an adventure experience, I think it's worth checking out.

Fun experience and great smoothies! The downside of course are the highly inflated prices. If you can live with that and enjoy high quality products in a hip scene, this is the place for you!
