• Great!

I had never been to A&R's old location so the Grainger Market stall was new to me. I'd peered through the door in curiosity before but went in for the first time this week. I wish I hasn't waited so long! The shop is absolutely tiny, and appears even more so because it's crammed to the rafters with brilliant things. The most noticeable thing is the huge display of teas, which takes up the entire front window. For such a tiny shop, they've got a great selection: condiments, snack foods, beans and grains, toiletries and soap, vitamins and so much more. There's a rack of vegan chocolate and treats just inside the door, including the famous Vego bars - I'm looking forward to treating myself to one of those. They also sell things like sprouting jars and seeds for sprouting. I really reccommend a trip to Almonds and Raisins. I was delighted to find both varieties of Engevita nutritional yeast, which I'd been struggling to find in Newcastle, and I look forward to going back for a proper look. There might not be room for the pastries and things described in the older reviews, but it's still a really fantastic health food shop in a central location.
