Frome Wholefoods (long term customer)

5 Posted on 04 / 22 / 2013

I have been shopping here forever, it has changed hands once in that time. The staff and owner know the stock well. As a vegab I consider this shop my local vegan utopia, everything you need and want for that vegan shopping trip.

A great range of all the well known vegan brands such as Redwoods, Vegusto, Scheese, Essential Trading plus much more. You can also buy many household products.

They also stock a good range or frozen foods ideal for the vegan BBQ and they have a nice selection of deli foods.

I give them 10/10 this feels like a traditional real shop and it smells amazing.

Oh yes on the plus side it is also one of the few places that still do weigh your own herbs and spices.

Pros: Vegan & Veggie Stock , Lovely Staff, Helpful and Friendly , Wide Range
Cons: Card Machine Crashes A Lot, Nice Stuff Runs Out Quick, Could Be A Little Cheaper

A great little shop in the prettiest street in town. There's so much choice in such a small shop, and there's always new products arriving every week.
Prices are cheaper than one would expect on a lot of foods, although the high price of some supplements and cosmetics is daunting, it reflects their quality.
Staff are friendly, helpful and full of information, not only about the shop stock, but health food/veganism/ homeopathy/local events generally. They're happy to order in non stock items and will give a discount on ordered items.
Lighting is a bit dim, but it adds to the cottagey, old fashioned feel to the shop. There are shelves full of self service herbs and spices, information leaflets, 2 notice boards, loads of different vegetarian and organic wines, ciders and spirits, a great Fairtrade effort, a focus on locally sourced products, dedication to quality and a lovely aroma as you enter.
There's fresh bread daily with wheat free and yeast free options, special diet pastas and flours. Everything you need from a store (and a little bit more!)
Can't recommend the place enough.
Wonderful.

Pros: Great range of products, friendly knowledgable staff, ethical, veggie/vegan, smells nice!!
Cons: dim lighting, veg is a bit tired looking

A great little store which has a great range of stuff for vegans, including toiletries and home cleaning stuff (though they lose a point for stocking the animal tested Ecover products). They stock lots of frozen food plus chilled burgers, vegan cheese etc as well as lots of herbs, veggie alcohol and fresh, organic, vegetables. Also has a useful notice board and displays vegetarian/animal rights leaflets. Not much in takeaway food sadly but a few flapjacks and cakes usually in the fridge.

Pros: Friendly staff, Lots for vegans, Fresh Veg
Cons: Stocks Ecover products, Not many snacks available
