Great employees, awesome food

5 Posted on 06 / 20 / 2012

We really enjoy eating and shopping at Park + Vine. The employees/ownership understands the community and is involved. My husband and I enjoyed lunch there a couple of times and everything was fresh and delicious. I loved their raw kale and they offered a soup one day that was great! I like that their menu changes out so there's always something new. Arrive early for lunch b/c sometimes the daily specials sell out quickly. We tried to get vegan hot dogs once and were told they were gone. :( We joined their email list (I'd recommend this if you live in Cincinnati) and we were invited to an ice cream social. It featured vegan ice cream and brownies/pie, and everything was phenomenal. That's the type of event you don't get invited to every day, and it makes Park + Vine unique and very appealing. We will continue to support this business!

Pros: Neighborhood feel, Great food, Nice variety of grocery/health items
Cons: Need more food when advertising specials

Nice shop

I enjoyed a vegan sausage for Bock fest at Park + Vine and was pleased with their selection of hard-to-find, Eco-friendly and vegan items. Purchases included a stainless steel counter top kitchen scrap bin, humane mouse trap and organic cotton socks. They also offered a nice discount for bringing a reusable bag.

Pros: Friendly staff, great product assortment, deli counter

A wonderful niche

This store is incredible. Not only do they carry a good slew of hard-to-find vegan products (including mock marshmallows, Daiya cheese, and some cool raw stuff) but a wide of variety of green-living items and tools, cool bike-related merchandise, and baby/kid things too! It's seriously like an all-in-one store for the eco-conscious-vegan-hippie-whatever. Perhaps a little cliche or 'too cool', like something you'd expect to see if "Stuff White People Like," but in a store where I can buy compostable silverware, a circuit board notebook, Dandies Marshmallows (by Chicago Soydairy), and a ton of local, hand-made food and craft from Ohio, I can't complain. Definitely check out Park+Vine if you are in Cincy.

Pros: green, vegan, bike stuff

Great for browsing

Park & Vine is a cute little store, with products ranging from eco friendly paint
to reusable diapers. They have a little bit of everything, including a fridge that houses your basics as well as some snacks. There is also a rack of dry foods and such. Great if you live in the downtown area and run out of tempeh. Definitely pricey! As are most specialty stores, but fun to visit none the less.

Pros: Great for gift buying, Carries local kombucha!
Cons: Slooow Service, Pricey!
