Always a great place to pick up fresh, healthy items.
It’s a small store. Prices are on the high side but it’s fresh n organic so yea.
Great little store with lots of goodies!😊
This shop exceeded my expectations! I’m celiac and this shop had sooo many gluten free options.
I am a regular shopper at Blue Water Natural foods. Love having a great selection of organic foods, earth friendly products and natural supplements nearby. It is a wonderful store.
What a beautiful selection of food ~ vegan conscious & organic products … 🤤
Share in this generous environment with a good source for bottled water.
There are a few other worthy grocery stores in Alpine but Blue Water is the one with many hard-to-find items including many organic. Great place!
Amazing food store...lots of selection.
Friendly & helpful & knowledgeClean, organized, and good variety. Kinda pricey but im sure its expensive getting it out here.
Produce is fresh, employees are nice. You can get things here that you cant get other places in Alpine.
Great little store. Super staff.
Lots of organic natural foods. A little pricey, but so is everything else these days.
Wow! I was not expecting this in Alpine, TX. I think I enjoyed shopping in here more than Whole Foods and Central Market maybe solely because it was so unexpected.Great fresh, organic veggies. Grass feed beef! Unique specialty beer and wine.We stocked the Rv up on pastured eggs and organic milk and ice cream before heading into Big Bend. Well be back again for sure.
Incredible store with great selection. Absolutely perfect place to stock up on healthy fresh food for our trip. Highly recommend!
I wish this store was in my town. It is like I selected the items in it myself. We did all of our shopping for our family of six for a week stay in Alpine. They have everything you need at fair prices. It is all of the best health foods you love at all of the places you come from. Just go there- its a family business, the products are great, and they are so kind.
Best place ever
Great natural foods store on the edge of alpine. We found almost everything we needed for several days of camping here. They do have produce in coolers around the store, that is the one area we would have liked to see more of.
Best grocery store in the area!!
Their online inventory is completely wrong from what’s inside. Website says tofu is in stock. Showed up at the store the same day to find no tofu in stock whatsoever. We drove from an hour away to buy tofu. Whole store is over priced and website delivery expected daye/inventory is wrong.
Odd place to find a whole foods type of store ran by crunchy people. My guess is they know hikers, etc. will be driving by and need last minute supplies. Their prices were pretty steep so Im giving this a good but not great rating. I saw the same coffee in town for almost 5 dollars cheaper.
Having lived all around Texas, big cities and rural, hands down this IS the best health food store I have ever encountered...The variety and abundance in this small town store is amazing...I HIGHLY recommend Bluewater Natural Foods....Also, in response to the previous comment about the store being expensive I must say that the prices are in line with most other natural food stores and carrying such a PHENOMENAL inventory creates high overhead and operating expenses...I am thrilled to see the variety of frozen foods, meats, cheeses, produce, supplements, etc...etc...etc...It costs money for this owner, who I do not know, to provide this variety to the community...There is another thing one must consider re pricing. Being a former organic/grassfed beef and pork rancher, I can tell you, without reservation, I had to charge more for the meats I produced because it cost me more to produce organically...Just some things to consider regarding pricing...I have no idea who owns this store, but I commend them for operating a great store and providing such a variety of healthier options for their community.
Very interesting find while passing through. Had a good selection, especially being in a small town. Good quality food. A child rang me up? Haha. Maybe the owner’s kid or something.
Incredible store. Absolutely everything you need including items typically only available in a large city. Super clean, well organized and friendly employees.
The best place to shop
Great food selection here. Staff personnel are friendly and helpful. A bit small-space wise however. But it serves its purpose well by providing healthy organic food. Thank you for my military discount also.
Awesome owners that offer a great selection of foods for all diet types. So happy we found this gem in Alpine. Highly recommended
Has just about everything a vegetarian needs 😎
Pretty good offerings, friendly folks and the prices are not high like you would expect for this type of store. Good place to find supplements and tasty food!
Great little store with a nice selection of healthier foods in a place you wouldnt expect to have access to good stuff. Super friendly and helpful staff.
Such a great find in the desert. Delicious organic groceries and helpful and friendly staff.
Pleasantly surprised by all the goodies and size of this awesome store!
Their produce is very limited
Pleasantly surprised by the size of this market and the extensive selection of healthy food; i was able to do a full grocery shop here. i especially liked how much organic, gluten-free and bulk food there was to choose from. beer, wine and bath/beauty products are available as well. i noticed but didn’t take advantage of a sandwich counter (i think that’s what it was). the staff are friendly and helpful and my cashier kindly helped me carry my groceries to my car.
Very pleasant ordered my regular supplements very nice atmosphere
Great place for fresh, clean foods. I miss their Deli (closed due to COVID-19 best practices Im guessing)
Its the only place where you can get organic food it made me to area really happy to have access to this place
Excellent selection of goods.
The selection here was far more than I expected. I wish we had not been in such a time crunch when going so that we could have explored more. We did expect a deli that could make sandwiches while there, and did not know that they only offer previously prepared sandwiches.
They carry a good variety of items that are not easily available in our area.
If you are a health conscious person, eating clean food, and is concerned where to get something decent in Alpine while hiking Big Bend, this is your spot. It saved me on my trip. Their freshly made wraps are oit of this world. Full selection little health food store and deli. You will find a little bit of everything there. Vegan friendly!
As others have said this place still carries everything youd expect from a health food grocery. The price was not outrageous either. Definitely plenty of vegan options and gluten free options plus meat eating options.They have ready made meals some vegan some not. Worth your coin if you plan to shop in the area before going out.
Fresh and friendly. With reasonable prices
I was visiting from Dallas, so Im use to having Whole Foods and Sprouts... This store was the perfect substitute! They had tons of gluten free options for me! I was SO EXCITED! They even made gluten free wraps and sandwiches in the deli!
Absolutely horrible experience. I took my daughter who suffers from severe aspergers and the employees there kept laughing behind our backs at my little girl. When I took it up to a manger she just sneared and said her employees did nothing wrong and no direct offense was given towards my daughter. Absolutely disgusting behavior by the employees and above all else the stuck up manager who did nothing.
Its nice to have this option in our small town. While they dont have a full selection of produce, they do have a surprising amount of different foods. Most foods are organic/non-gmo, and some are locally grown. The prices on some items are quite a bit above your standard grocery store, but others are very competitive, especially considering the higher quality products.I havent tried the new deli. The prices there were above what I wanted to pay.
This place is great! Being able to get some of the specialty items that I buy all the time here in San Antonio, at a little grocery store in Alpine, was so exciting. I appreciate their selection and wanting to get Alpine more options with their food choices.
Great selection and expensive! Highly recommend.
Was so pleased to find these guys on Happy Cow. I was able to get some vegan goodies other than fruit for dinner. If youre passing though Alpine, make sure to stock up on plant based snacks for the road. The vegan with the pinky hair was super helpfeul- TY! 😊
I was really impressed to visit Alpine and find this store had grown so much and developed such a nice selection. The service us quite friendly as well. We visited late in the day so we didnt get to try the food/smoothie bar, but I liked the store.The prices are indeed high, as one would expect for a place so far off the truck route. It was a little frustrating as well to have two prices listed for all the products, because it made me feel like I had to pay even more than necessary. They told me I didnt live close enough to qualify for the lower price, which I didnt like. I would think seeing a lower price should be incentive to the customer, but that made me feel kind of helpless.
Great selection of organic and natural foods, and fair prices. We always stock up on food as we head into big bend area. Excellent pre-made food too: chicken salads, sandwiches, etc.
Has a decent selection of organic food and produce. The grains and produce were decent priced, other packaged organics were expensive. Stop is a bit tight and the lighting is minimal thus the three rating.
I bought vitamins and was given a free sample of their carrot cake muffins!
Well stocked, a few good surprises, great employees, and a few good surprises!
Good place, dont like that prices are member price and you have to look at the little price in the corner to see how much you will actually pay.. They are a bit more expensive than the chain places or places in the big city, but for the convenience, it can be worth it..
Surprisingly great selection in this market. They had all of the products I normally buy and nicely priced. Nice staff.
Great staff, and really nice selection overall. They have a deli but there was only a choice of two sandwiches that were pre-prepared. I didnt see any way to order anything else.
People are friendly. The store is well-stocked with wholesome foods. My son and I love their Greek salads.
BW has a great assortment of products to include some local selections. The deli had some yummy options, the two salads I picked were fresh and packed with good ingredients. Staff was friendly and helpful. I can definitely recommend BW for your grocery needs!
Such a gem! Everything is organic! I had a gluten and dairy free Turkey sandwich that was fabulous. Such a great store.
Excellent selection and they are efficient with lights as well. Well done.
Stopped through on our way out of town. Did not expect such an organic haven in a small town. Great selection, like a mini whole foods without the pretentiousness.
A great place, way out in Big Bend, to find organic and natural products: dry goods, canned, and fresh produce. Plus, super friendly and helpful staff! Im a visitor to the area, and a vegan. ¡Gracias a Dios por Blue Water!
Grasias blu wather store
Well stocked health good store. Was looking for organic green apples. Wasnt hoping to find it but to my pleasant surprise did find it.
Amazing assortment of natural foods and products. Name your favorite and its almost guaranteed to be there. The deli carries fresh, nutritious ready to eat wraps, salads, etc. Perfect location on your way to the park.
Nearest Walmart was 100 miles away so we stopped here instead for food to camp out was worth it premaid sandwiches, wraps and salads were great!
This my go to place for vitamins and health needs.
Amazing selection and prices aren’t as high as people make it out to be. Comparable to big city prices, and surprised to see such a diverse selection in a small town!
While visiting Davis Mountains State Park it was suggested that we visit Blue Water Natural Foods in Alpine. Wow, are we glad we did. They have a selection of foods that you would only expect to find in a large city and all the vegetables were extreemly fresh. Prices apeared on par with other Natural Food Stores. We are always looking for Gluten Free foods and the selection of items available was very large.
Nice place for all ur health food needs! Needs some organization and pricing could be a better value!
Wonderful selection of everything. Has really grown. The deli is a nice addition.
So thankful this place was there, spotted it on our way out of Alpine...lots of good organic and healthy foods! Even had Hope Hummus!
Great prices helpful staff
Awesome store! Great selection. You will find it here.
Love this store. An independent organic foods supermarket and deli that serves the tri-county area. Fresh organic produce arrives twice a week. Great selection of frozen foods for those who prefer not to cook. Deli prepares fantastic salads and sandwiches on GF bread. Bulk items are reasonably priced. BW members receive 8% discount; vets, an additional 10% Staff is extremely helpful, but busy on Tuesdays and Fridays when fresh produce arrives. Outdoor tables where you can enjoy the view while eating your lunch.
Great place with a large selection for such a small town. They are happy to make any special request or carry an item that is not usually stocked.
As a vegan I have to appreciate how they stock some products I crave
Pretty much everything you want here!
This place was sort of a lifesaver in a way. In late December we were traveling to Tucson from Austin with our small 9lb dog. We were hungry for a good meal in Marfa and none of the places let us sit outside with the dog and eat. They said no tables in Winter, despite us saying we would. So, we found NO place in Marfa to eat. We looked on Google and spotted this place about 25 mins away or so. Got some good quality food, which, to be honest I wasn’t expecting a natural food store to be where it was. Got some food (and tiramisu as well as some kombucha) and we were pleased. Drove back to El Cosmico happy that we found a place we could run into and get a bite. On the way out we stopped again and what seemed to be a ten-year-old rang me up with supervision. Was a first, and hey, teaching work ethic early. Ha ha. We liked this place and will remember it.
Cool place, Ill be going back to stock up again on goodies
Love this place. Always trying something new. Gluten free and watching silica dide disease . Staff friendly and helpful
Lots of selection. Decent prices. Nice staff.
Love this place. Great and varied selection of high-quality and healthy options.
Blue Water Natural Foods (BWNF) has got all the larger chain stores beat hands down.20181016 - I arrived today just after I had my van worked on across the street which by the way is a Great shop.Back to BWNF, Bob who works here took time to walk me through and show me the store. We talked for a bit and he said that the problem with most people today is they are starving. And I said, yes from processed foods. He agreed.I found items that I have been looking for, and not found for a few weeks.Thanks BWNF, keep up the great work.
Vegan and gluten free food choices. Love it
The selection of organic foods is great and theyre the only place within 100+ miles that stocks my favorite wine.

Its so great to have a place to get organic food and healthy snacks!
They have good prices On their stuff
Its an odd but badass store that you dont expect to exist in a small west Texas town.
Well stocked.
The food selection here is great. A lot of vegan options plus pre made sandwhiches, a soba noodle dish, and a yummy southwestern quinoa dish. Highly recommend for people looking for healthy and specialty foods.
Extensive, sometimes surprisingly wide selection of products, and a friendly, helpful staff who encourage suggestions. Prices on more common items seem reasonable; prices on some specialty items can be much higher than alternative sources.
It’s like a mini Wholefoods, I’m so glad that we found this grocery store on our way to Big Bend!
A great natural foods store. Go visit.
Had so much food of all kinds, was just wonderful with the v as rietu!

Always love supporting good growing practices.

🍰🎈
An oasis in the desert for Celiacs! The best selection of gluten free foods and fresh vegetables and fruits. I stock up before I head to the park each time and on the way home. They have varieties of items that even Austin doesn’t have and I shop all the stores. Prices are very reasonable considering the remote area, the limited offerings around, and the need for healthy foods! GF is already pricey in large city stores so I expect nothing less from a local grocer who is doing the area a great service!!
Great service and plenty of options to choose from.Great service and many options to choose from. The products you need.

2022-06-19We were delightfully surprised to find such a fantastic selection of healthy organic options. Great store and Mary was THE BEST at helping us find what we were looking for.
Review №2
2022-05-20Like a Natural Grocers except with tighter aisles. But they have pretty much everything. Some things they dont have a lot of, but still, considering the other options for natural food in the area... None... This is fantastic!
Review №3
2020-12-15We tried to go in town at Porters, and we did not find any food that a human being should eat. Thanks to this shop, we were able to restock our camper with fresh, organic produce and products in general.They even have a bulk section with a lot of spices, so that was nice.It is a little bit pricey but I guess that’s the cost to pay to be autonomous in the desert for a few days.Definitely the best stop you can make before Big Bend National Park.
Review №4
2022-03-22Everything is so overpriced it feels like going to Venezuela. You need a wheelbarrow full of cash to be able to go shopping here. This feels like living in a parallel dimension thats experienced 30% inflation for the past 5 years. But yes the products do look enticing. Maybe one day if I ever win that settlement from the bus company Ill be able to afford shopping here.
