Review: This place is amazing! It just opened a few weeks ago, to my pleasant surprise. New West is an unusual location for a veg-friendly businesses with specialty items, some expensive. However, I was thrilled.

I checked the products online before going in. The store itself is small but carries a wide range of products with some of the stock in the back. They have food items ranging from candy bars to some frozen dinners. I bought several Tofurky products. Prices were just a few cents more than Whole Foods. Other products, like the "Smores" were a bit expensive.

They also have vegan gloves, very nice, and shoes/purses, cookbooks etc. Apparently the company does most of its business online.

Here's the clincher: they didn't have a product called Primal Strips, which are a wonderful, chewy, jerky-like snack. I mentioned it, they took note, and now they have them! That is absolutely wonderful customer service. I can't wait to pick them up.

Parking is on the street and is metered. Hours are good; open until 7.

 
Pros: Great service/staff * excellent variety * easy parking
Cons: Some items expensive * *

Review: A neat little store in the Sapperton area of New Westminster, just few doors or so West of the intersection of Braid and Columbia. Inside you will find an wide array of vegan products from shoes, handbags, t-shirts, to pet-food, human food, to cosmetics and condoms. Karmavore also has an online store as well. Most prices are a bit lower than in other stores, and there are some really good deals such as the Chi Cake (vegan 'cheese' cake). I have found some very interesting (and tasty) items that I have not seen in any other store thus far.
 
Pros: all vegan * on bus route * walking distance to skytrain
Cons: up against much larger businesses * *
