EXCITING! An ALL-VEGAN Grocery Store!!!

5 Posted on 04 / 08 / 2013

I spent half of my Sunday at an AMAZING all-vegan grocery store. For the first time in over 21 years of being vegan, I was in a grocery store where I could purchase every single product, and this was an incredibly exciting day for me.

Produce grown veganically, loads of brands and product lines that you cannot find at any other health food stores in the area, a bulk section, cosmetics section, pet food section, vegan shoes and clothing, and even a vegan restaurant on the premises. Pure vegan heaven!

I was given a grand tour of the grocery store by one of the store's owners. He pointed out to me a number of products that Whole Foods and other grocery stores in the area do not carry, and he told me about many of the ethical companies that they purchase their products from.

I started off by ordering a dynamite cut roll from the restaurant, followed by a raw vegan raspberry chocolate cheese cake and was very impressed.

The prices at this store are reasonable, and the selection is far greater than you would expect. This is no hole-in-the-wall grocery store. The store is quite large, and there is even an expansive area for lectures. The co-owner mentioned that there additional space in the store that is not being used yet.

I was excited to hear that they are looking to open up a new store branch on the westside of LA! I can't wait!

Pros: Huge selection, great food quality, friendly and helpful staff

Vegan Heaven

I just found this store and visited it for the first time today. I am thrilled. I had been driving 45 minutes both ways to go grocery shopping at a similar store in another town, but now that I've found this one and it's only five minutes away (can you believe it?), I can go much more often. They seem to have most of the things I usually buy and it looks like they have room to expand. I will definitely be sharing this "well kept secret" with others. I firmly believe in supporting local businesses of the "mom and pop" variety. I wish them every success and will do my part to see that it happens for them.

Pros: Large variety of brands & items, Store well laid-out, "Vegan" items other than just food
Cons: Produce was wilted today, Store was very warm inside today

Pros: vegan, friendly, vegan
Cons: a little cold in winter.

No Need to Check Labels Here

It was very exciting to be able to go to a vegan grocery! I caught myself turning over the labels several times only to remember...no need to at this place. The girl at the register was friendly. They take credit cards. Parking was free. They had quite a selection of items, and I would imagine that if they're successful they'll carry even more items. Prices were comparable to my local health food store, but some items were less expensive here. Check them out, and support this local, all-vegan establishment!

Pros: all-vegan, friendly, good assortment

Great store

We went for the grand opening yesterday and it was great! Lots of food samples and friendly people. They have dry and frozen/refrigerated groceries as well as some clothing/shoes and beauty/household products. They have a little of everything although they don't have the variety within some brands that can be found at Whole Foods or such, but it's an immense pleasure to shop at a store where you never have to check the labels or see any animal products. They also have some items that I've never seen anywhere else before. And the prices for some items was so good we bought them there even though we can get them in LA. Dirk also ordered a couple of pairs of shoes as they didn't have his size in stock, so we'll definitely be back! There's also plenty of room for them to expand too. Go support them!

Pros: all vegan store, friendly owners and staff, easy parking
Cons: wish it were closer to me!

You HAVE to go here!

This is seriously the only ALL vegan grocery in the entire state!!! They have everything, but my favorite part is if you they do not have an item you want they get it in just for you. They were so helpful to me.

Not to disregard the last person's comment but their prices are actually lower on every single item. Primal strips are usually 1.50-2.00, even online they are 1.30 They have lower prices then if I go to trader joes or sprouts, and obviously a way bigger selection for us non meat eaters
they carry daiya too!!

Pros: Large Selection, Helpful Staff , ALL vegan

This Place is AMAZING

I'm so excited this place is here! They have everything- Food, Clothes, Shoes and beauty care. I can tell they have alot of growing to do, but it's great how it is now. It's pretty inexpensive compared to other stores that carry vegan products. (i.e. $1 Primal Strips!) Best of all, they have take n bake pizzas from my favorite pizza place- Cheezy Pizza in Colton. This is a must visit for any IE Vegan :)

Pros: Take n bake cheezy pizzas, Inexpensive, Friendly Staff
