Thanks for your Kindness - Edit
My husband and I visited Ceres a few weeks ago and I wanted to take the time to thank the owners for their kindness to me.
We were in Medellin on business and always stay near Parque Lleras. My husband and I had stopped in early in the week, as he wanted to check out some of the digestive items, in case he had issues. During that visit I saw some very cute Christmas owls on display.
Later in the week, we came back and the owners shared with me how one of their mothers make the owls, and that I might be able to find them in the US, as they are store decorations.
I just wanted to say how kind and gracious they were to me and we will definitely stop back in the next time we are in Medellin.
This was one of several random acts of kindness from complete strangers that we experienced in our visit. This was our 4th visit to Medellin and every time we are treated with such kindness and graciousness.
Happy New Year!
Sincerely
Karen
Pros: friendly staff, nice atmosphere

A nice small selection. - Edit
Conveniently located with fresh options and other vegan things. I didn't like the vegan cheese that I tried (pictured), but everything else is pretty standard.

Excelentes productos - Edit
Nunca he ido al sitio como tal pero les he comprado productos, los domicilios llegan rápido, no hay que esperar todo el día por ellos, todos sus productos son orgánicos y tienen muchas opciones veganas.
Pros: Productos orgánicos , Domicilios rápidos , Muchas opciones veganas
Cons: Sería bueno que tuvieran más puntos de venta, No contestan los mensajes privados por Instagram

Great smoothies! - Edit
I used to shop here all the time but now I resort to SaludPan and Vita Integral.
Ceres has no dairy or meat. They do have some cool stuff. And in Poblado it may be the best choice for healthy groceries. The smoothies are great and yes, I agree, that the attitude of one of the employees is terrible. The owners are aware of the problem but like most Colombian businesspeople, they find it hard to replace loyal employees.
Go there for the smoothies, as they are better than those at Saludpan in my opinion. But go to Saludpan or Vita Integral for everything else if you can.
Pros: Great organic smoothies, Great location, Nuts in bulk
Cons: One of the employees has a bad attitude, No dairy, No meat

Great little store......BUT ATTITUDE - Edit
The woman who makes the juices is the most unfriendly person I have ever been served by. If look could kill I would be dead. I didn't order anything special, it wasn't closing time. Will not return, will not spend one dime.
Pros: good selection of hard to find items
Cons: Attitude, Attitude, Attitude

Good products - Edit
They have tofu, vegan Tamales, Vegan sausage, burgers (from Lentija express), a lot of vegan food but sometime expensive. You can make your own peanut butter and they have organic vegetables and fruits.

lovely little organic shop - Edit
This is a great little place... small but with a nice selection of local organic vegetables, sauces, cleaning products, juices, and pastas (including amazing quinoa fettucini). While there are probably over a hundred "naturista" shops in Medellin, very few focus on organics and high-quality items like this place.
It is connected to the upper floor of Verdeo, so it's easy to reach from inside during times when both are open (note that this shop closes before 7 on all days except Friday and Saturday, when it's open late). Very friendly staff and nice attitude, worth seeking out. Try the Hibiscus water (Wandolo) and freshly ground peanut butter.
Pros: convenient location, local organic produce, unique Colombian products
Cons: some items pricey
