"On Main Street in Orleans, just a short drive from Nauset Beach, one of the grandest, folksiest, brightest and best designed and stocked whole food stores we've ever known is alive and well. As in the old days, Orleans Whole Food Store is not only a place to buy organic produce, hearty wholegrain bread, nut butters, and scores of colorful dried herbs and spices, but a place to linger and browse, a kind of hip community center. You'll find fancy soaps and lotions, books and magazines, sandwiches and munchies-to-go, and a first rate selection of greeting cards. Best of all is the store itself — an oldie, with lots of windows and flooded with light."
