• The Only Grocery Store I Find Myself Missing

Never have I been in a grocery store with so many vegan options as Staff of Life in Santa Cruz. The amazing people that work there are incredibly helpful, kind, and attentive. They have been instrumental in my transition from omnivore to vegan. While some items may be cost prohibitive, I find that there are many good deals to be found, not to mention the fact that their produce is of excellent quality and much more affordable than the other local chain grocery stores. The hot food section of their store always has delicious foods for both vegans and omnivores. I was so pleased with the fact that every section of the store had items that were plant-based alternatives to common products, like Worcestershire sauce or dairy free cheese for example. Staff of Life has found a place in my home, I intend to keep coming back for as long as they're in business.
