Super grocery store with cafe

Posted on 05 / 10 / 2008
Located on a busy street in Soho.
Grocery store with a salad counter, self service salad bar and a cafe on the ground floor. There are a few small tables inside and on the pavement outside. A security guard stands at the door.
Super versions of food and cleaning products from your regular suburban supermarket available. There are some great finds such as wasabi peanuts and flourless absinthe chocolate cake. There is also meat there. Upstairs also has vitamins, homeopathy products, sports medicine products, quite a wide range of skincare and a small book/ DVD section.
I thought it was very reasonably priced so got a shock when the salad I packed came to nine pounds 48 pence. Salad item prices are labelled so you can do the maths.
Pros: Decent range of groceries, Lots of ready meals for one inc sld bar, poss chill here for a bit
Cons: Salad bar a little expensive
I haven't been to the one in Soho but I've seen it from the outside and it looks very small - it's not a good reflection of Whole Foods Markets in the UK. The one you want to check out is Whole Foods Market on Kensington High Street - it's AMAZING. They have heaps of vegan bakery products upstairs, cakes and cupcakes etc, plus fresh sandwiches - not to mention all of the vegan grocery downstairs. And above the market itself they have a food court, including Saf (a vegean raw foods restuarant). Hope this helps.
