    Eco Evolution is a gem! Enter the SoNo storefront and you'll find incredible products that help to save the Earth, as well as walls fills with products crafted by local artisans. There's always something new on the shelves to check out. Plus it's just a great space to hang out - there's definitely a community vibe throughout the store, with activities, DJ nights, and local musicians performing. Highly recommend!

    I had a wonderful experience at Eco Evolution. The owner Brad was very kind and helpful. The store smells amazing and has a great selection of products for sale. The coffee and sweets are wonderful. I will be here everyday for coffee!

    Brad of Eco Evolution is a force of nature! He had not only opened a unique shop, he had created a community for eco-conscious shoppers who want to find earth friendly alternatives to traditional products. The entire vibe of the store is fun, with a purpose, and I don’t think there is anyplace else quite like it. Always a wonderful experience to shop there!

    The best thing to happen to Norwalk! A sustainable driven store. You can restock on soaps for your house, or enjoy a treat your self moment. Let’s not forget the Vegan ice cream and drinks. The owner also organizes pop up events that are centered around building connections. Iconic!

    Awesome store for eco-friendly products and gifts. They have bulk soap available by volume, bar shampoos and conditioners, thrift clothing, and much more. I love that they take recyclables too. If you want environmentally friendly products and want to save the shipping and packaging, go to Eco Evolution. Nice staff too.

    Eco Evolution is the best! I've been a customer of the store since it first opened and it is always fun to stop in and see what new items Brad has in the store. There is a great mix of gifts, jewelry, art and decor that are eco-friendly, locally made or vintage. I love that now I can get coffee and vegan ice cream there too! The staff is always super nice and the overall environment is very welcoming.

    Home sweet home. The unofficial hub of Norwalk. Get to know the folks who work here, hang around while enjoying your beverages and perusing the beautiful curated shop goods, and join the community. <3

  • 5/5 Lelah B. 8 months ago on Google
    A fun and funky place to get reusable and recycled gifts and homegoods. I love having a place to get an earth-friendly gift. I love the VHS wall and the card selection and the random vintage finds. I haven't tried the coffee, but it's cool there's a coffee shop inside.

  • 5/5 Michelle S. 5 months ago on Google

    Eco evolution is my go to spot for all things!!! Whether I want a cool spot to work from home, need a latte, or want to stock up on some soap and other home goods, it’s the place to be!!! 🔥🔥🔥 Also Brad (eco dude) rocks!

  • 5/5 Caitlin F. 1 year ago on Google
    This is one of my favorite places in Norwalk. I have been following them and shopping there since they opened, and it just keeps getting better and better. They have great gifts, and the coffee shop is amazing. I have been loving all of the events they have been hosting and think this is such an important place in the community!

  • 5/5 Meghan R. 11 months ago on Google
    Great healthy for the earth products! I love the home cleaning products most, dryer balls, bamboo sink tools, washing machine soap sheets and so much more! Great, friendly staff too!

  • 5/5 Chris B. 11 months ago on Google
    The coolest place on the planet?--maybe, but at least the coolest in the state of CT. Tons of eco-friendly products, including clothes, cleaning items, artwork, & peanut butter treats that my dog adores. Plus groovy events like open mic nights & readings. Support this store . . . and the planet!!!

    Super awesome store with some great stuff. Coffee bar is also really great. Personal fave is the chai latte, especially when made by Brad (our one and only Eco Dude)!!

  • 5/5 Maria C. 1 year ago on Google
    I love everything about this store, including the devoted owner! The merchandise and packaging are environmentally sensitive, he supports so many local businesses and non-profits, and the store carries a great stock of unique gift options. I personally love getting the plastic-package-free laundry detergents and boosters at Eco Evolution, but the skincare, jewelry, housewares, gifts, personal care items, and clothing are all fantastic. Items I've seen on the shelves are also free from the chemical toxins typically found in commercial products. I'm looking forward to my next visit!

    First time here. Attended the comics open mic night. Eco Evolution is a unique place with very friendly service. The latte I had was one of the best. I will definitely be returning to do some shopping.

  • 5/5 Bridget S. 1 year ago on Google
    Went for the first time today and was surprised how large the store is. I found a lot of cute stuff for gifts. They also have cards. They have really good brands that I’ve only seen at farmers markets like loose leaf tea etc. Nice place to shop for unique gifts!

The gifts and goods here are local artisan made and all encompass an eco friendly soul. The staff are super friendly and chill, Brad the eco dude is the man go say whaddup! There's also many pop up events here!!

    Eco evolution is the perfect place to support LOCAL businesses and artists by grabbing a delicious home brewed coffee, read in the green room and get some shopping in!! From eco-friendly housewarming gifts to clothing this place is an absolute must go to!!!!!

    Eco Evolution is like no other store in Connecticut. Their commitment to local artisans and local sourcing of sustainable products is what first caught my attention. Since opening in Norwalk, it has become a place where the community comes together to bring attention to the importance of sustainable living and ensuring our world exists prosperously for future generations. Founder Brad, the Original Eco Dude, has big dreams for the small businesses and entrepreneurs he supports, as well as big dreams for our Mother Earth. Before entering, you will most likely be greeted by the sounds of Brad’s laugh mixed with an acoustic Phish song played by a local guitarist. Can’t wait to visit again soon and continue to support this Connecticut treasure!

    Amazing products and staff. So helpful when trying to discover new products. The reusable paper towels and laundry detergent are two of my favorites. Every time I go and find new products I feel like I am making a difference. If you have not discovered this store in South Norwalk, do yourself a favor and go spend some time there.

    What a great find! Evo Evolution and Brad and his staff are all wonderful! So friendly and caring about the environment! So many cool things to look at and choose from. You don't have to be a "Tre hugger" to enjoy it. I bought a roll of wrapping paper made out of stone! So cool...it looks like a regular good quality 2-sided wrapping paper with two nice prints, but it's actually made from ground stone! I had no idea how that is even done! I can't wait to be down that way to poke around and explore some more. There is clothing, jewelry, houseware, some vinyl albums, and items of all sorts too many to list, both new and old. There are some great and unique art work pieces on the walls, too, from local artists if you are searching for that one-of-a-kind conversation piece to hang on your wall, definitely stop in and take a look. I went to an awesome event for the talented author Dana Buckmir in the "green room" in the back of the store. It was a promotion for her new book Everything Will Be Okay. It was fabulous! A local Peruvian restaurant Munay Kitchen catered the event with cupcakes from The Cake Box shop and adult beverages from Merican Mule... So, so yummy! I loved the DJ playing house music, too! The store will be even better with the new coffee bar once it's completed. Brad is planning on hosting regular events. I only wish I lived closer than an hour + away. I would definitely make it a frequent stop and hang out!

    Eco Evolution is a beautifully curated retail space for all things planet-positive and human-centered. Located in a gorgeous historic building on Washington Street in South Norwalk, owner Brad Kerner has done an incredible job creating an inviting, inclusive space for sustainable products and local artisans. Each time I visit, I enjoy exploring the offerings on every shelf and often discover a new product or artist I hadn’t known about before. I also almost always run into someone I know while I’m shopping there, or Brad introduces me to someone amazing who teaches me new things about micro greens, intuitive readings, and more. In less than a year, Brad has built a community of makers that inspire on all levels. Do yourself a favor and check out Eco Evolution as soon as possible. You’ll be glad you did.

    A fabulous collection of all you could ever need for your home, bath, skincare and gifting needs! Love the mission and the store! I feel blessed to have partnered with Brad and have our local natural skincare business, Basic-Naturals.com on the shelves at Eco Evolution. Can't wait for the coffee shop to open!
