Erewhon Calabasas

Wow, $20 for a small pre-cut dragon fruit--does it come with the dragon too?! LOL. I know Erewhon has its dedicated fans, and some folks think it's ridiculously overpriced. Honestly, if my income comfortably covered a small pre-cut dragon fruit for $20, I might consider shopping here more often. Even their freshly made dog food was around $20 a day--might as well cook a homemade meal for your Furbaby! The ambience felt rich and lively with lots of lines hahaha Erewhon certainly offers a wide variety of products--fresh, organic, non-GMO, gluten-free, salt-free, egg-free, dairy-free--basically, whatever "free" you're after, they probably have it. That said, it's probably not my first choice for regular, everyday shopping, as I find Whole Foods, Trader Joe's, and Sprouts to be more budget-friendly and accessible for most people.

Poor people stay away! This is not for you, nor was it for me. This place makes Whole Foods look like a homeless shelter. This bougie grocery store sells 8 liquid ounces of saffon-infused blackberry juice in a bottle covered in pretentious cringe phrases for $16 whole dollars. This place sells many products that use clever marketing to take advantage of scientifically-illiterate paranoid upper class suburbanites who are trying to avoid "nasty oils", want to drink "hyper-oxygenated water", or think that GMOs are evil. If you want a singular gluten-free raw organic celestially-infused sesame seed for $9.99 then you will find it here. This place is a symbol of the classist dystopia that Los Angeles is becoming, a city of the haves and have-nots. We must rise up and return the power to the working class
