Love this little shop! I was in town to see a doctor and was looking for a place to pick up some plant based food. I was warmly welcomed by the staff when I walked in. I was asked a few times if I needed any help as I perused the aisles to see all the goodies they have. So many plant based options and many that I've never seen before. I ended up getting the oinkless BLT, a few vegan cookies from the bakery, and some other snacks. Everything was fantastic! I will definitely be back next week when I'm in town again. Great little health food store with lots of plant based options. Thank you!

I truly love this place! They have a large variety of 'specialty' items to suit your needs. I enjoy their bulk section too, because I can grab smaller amounts of beans, flour, nuts etc for a recipe rather than buying a large bag. They have great customer service and yes their prices are slightly higher, but I enjoy shopping local when I can.

While Food Fantasies has a great selection of foods, their prices are prohibitively high. But y'all know that already. Some things are decently priced, like the bakery in the back and the bulk section. But today is my last trip to FF for the duration of this pandemic unless major changes in health policy are made with the staff. No one wears a mask, no staff practices social distancing, they work in close proximity (inches!) of each other without any protective gear, and they openly wonder about the merits of social distancing.
Staff will walk into your personal space when focused on another customer. The store is cramped and so social distancing is difficult to practice with other shoppers. I don't want the staff to get sick. I want a unique local business to survive. But I don't feel safe shopping there, and I also don't want to support a health food store that won't actually engage in proper emergency public health policies! If the price is good for you, then take advantage of their curbside pickup, pay over the phone, call them to say you're outside, but don't go inside. It doesn't feel safe.

F.F. won for being the best Health Food Store in Springfield? News Flash people, F.F. is the ONLY health food store in Springfield for miles, not so much a win. WAY too pricey. Customer service is lacking in a big way. I suppose by being the only Health Food store, there is some entitlement. No Thnak you. I am pro buying local all day. But I'll pass on this one.

I'm so glad we have this amazing little shop here in Springfield. As a transition vegan, this place is a must have for me. The staff is always incredibly friendly and helpful, and I can find vegan and organic options here if I can't find them anywhere else. I have never been disappointed in a visit here and shopping here makes me love grocery shopping. If you bring in your own containers for their bulk section they can remove the tare weight (container weight) so you aren't paying for your bag or jar.
At Hy-Vee, they cannot do that so either you use their plastic or pay for your container. Only downside is that they can be a little pricy, but I definitely think it's worth it. Please give this little place a moment of your time and visit! You won't be disappointed.

Moving some of my old reviews over to Yelp. This review was originally written/posted on 10 Dec 2007. Great Natural and Vegan Food Store Option! Over this past weekend a friend and I visited this store (he goes here often). I must say that I was very impressed with what they carried; in fact, I felt that they carried a lot more than most of the natural food stores in St. Louis. Not only did they have your typical Vegan items (e.g., Vegenaise (aka: Veganaise), Tofurkey, Uncle Eddie's, etc.), but they had local produce, vegan pizza dough (appeared as if they made it?), vegan baked goods (the mint brownies made me feel like I was in HEAVEN). Overall, I was impressed, I would even prefer this place over Whole Foods.that's saying a lot because I'm always there!
I also felt that the prices were fair if not lower than typical natural food stores (including Whole Foods).vegan food is going to be expensive either way, but like I said, this place isn't that bad price-wise.
