Vegan supermarket:)

06.04.2024: I do go in more than once a year lol but it seems I only add a review that often!
Popped in this morning to top up on Suma products, some toiletries, and treats. Couldn't take chilled or frozen unfortunately as we were going to be out and about for too long. Oh well, just means another visit sometime soon😄

22.01.2023: Went in the other day when open to buy goodies and essentials but forgot to get photos so when we walked past today snapped the lovely art in the shutters. The shop itself is fab. Has everything a vegan needs from food (frozen, chilled and ambient), drinks (alcoholic and soft, teas etc), toiletries, cleaning products etc etc. So much choice for a small shop. It’s amazing.

Best vegan shop

Always come here for a treat like fancy vegan cheese, chocolate bars or recently even baked goods. Such a great place to have nearby.

So MANY vegan Easter eggs

I wish that I had more money to spare....there's sooooo much I want from here.
Sadly, a lot of things are out of my price range, they do stock some things that I know I have seen cheaper elsewhere (btw, I recall that their black pudding is cheaper than Tesco!).

However, I do love coming into this little place and marvel at all the spreads, condiments, EASTER EGGS, pies......chocolates, you name it. They even have a little area by the counter with baked goods like brownies.

Absolutely check this place out, it's small but has so many goodies. Make sure you look up, the shelves are stacked to the brim!

Lovely vegan shop

Fantastic place for niche vegan things like paté. Sometimes a little pricier but there's great variety for such a small shop

Good ethos independent

It has an excellent range of vegan products, unfortunately it can’t compete cost wise with big supermarkets so be ready to spend slightly more.

Lots of vegan choices

One of the first vegan shops in England when it was Incredible Nutshell. I loved it because they didnt try to be cool or hip. I didn't mind paying the prices in the past but now a lot of the same stock is in main stream supermarkets for a fraction of the price which is a shame

Pros: Good range of foods

Cons: Expensive

Rude staff


Not too friendly , staff gruff and standoffish generally.
Update May 13.Staff are a disgrace.Don't offer you a receipt, sit staring into space, do not acknowledge the small fortune these oddballs fleece from you.Loathsome and very very odd.

Great big cupboard of love

This store really is a great big cupboard of love! All vegan stuff from packets and tins of food to fridged,and frozen. Not forgetting the chocolate and sweets. They also have a small stock of detergents and soaps etc. And don't forget to pick your Positively Vegan magazine up too. Fully recommend this shop.

Pros: Convenient , Offer delivery , Open good hours

Cons: Stock changes with supply availability , Staff could be a bit more personable , It would be great if it was bigger

The place to go

I've been meaning to go to the Nutshell for a while and I so wish I had gone sooner. They stock everything I have been looking for, as a vegan, which means instead of buying things online, I'm now able to support a beautiful small, local business. Hurray!

A very nice surprise

I had known of the existence of the Incredible Nutshell for several years but until last month I hadn't visited (I guess the name makes it sound like it only sells nuts and I couldn't be bothered to walk all the way to Chesterfield Road for the kinds of things you can buy in any old health food shop). However, upon visiting I discovered that the Incredible Nutshell is most definitely the most vegan-centric food shop in Sheffield and a true must for anyone living here - they sell a wide variety of things I haven't seen before in shops in Sheffield (or I assumed you could only buy online).

I particularly liked the gift box section of the store - they have pre-made mini hampers for reasonable prices which I think are a brilliant idea as it often seems quite hard to think of a coherent food-related vegan gift (as in, a gift that looks like a gift and feels special). I'm not sure if that's just a Christmas-only thing though.

Anyway, I would highly recommend this store and I would imagine that most vegans (or people in general) will find something new to try in this little place!

Pros: very good for vegans, like the gift box section
