Great Grocery - Edit
Theresa, the owner, was so nice. We chatted with her about the many vegan products she carries. She had a huge line of Bob's Redmill. She carries vegan frozen desserts. She was baking a pie when we arrived and even said she could bake us a vegan pie for the next day. Have a nice lunch at Kate's teahouse, then shop at Columbia Mercantile 1855 while visiting the historical Columbia park.

A mini Whole Foods in Historic Columbia - Edit
Lots of vegan snacks, candies and refrigerated goods. The shopkeeper, Teresa, is very kind and always glad to accommodate special orders/requests. She is working on a collaboration with the pizza parlor next door (the St. Charles) to serve dairy-free pizza using Miyoko’s Liquid Mozzarella, which I am seriously excited to try!

Thank you for sharing your experience of our store here. Apologies that your kind review was not seen until today -- three years late! Unfortunately, the St. Charles collaborative vegan pizzas is no longer offered and the Miyoko's company has undergone significant changes since November, 2025. We have and continue to expand a great selection of vegan meal options that can be heated in our own commercial kitchen as needed. We carry Bolani flatbread sandwiches, Rebel Cheeses, Green Girl Bakeshop plant based/GF ice cream sandwiches, offer a wide variety of Amy's vegan foods, fresh vegetables, Kite Hill raviolis and more. Please come and visit us again soon.

Lovely Little Grocery Store - Edit
1850s style grocery store in historic Columbia. Theresa, the owner, is very nice and happy to give “tours” of the store and all the vegan goodies! She has a surprisingly good selection of vegan items, and is very willing to take requests for new items. I absolutely recommend popping in here if you are in the area!

Nice market with vegan options - Edit
This is a picturesque grocery shop with arts, crafts, and gifts, too. It’s in the old mining town style, so it fits in with Columbia State Park. There were many vegan options in the cooler and freezer, and the owner said she wanted to serve vegan customers and asked us what we’d like to see in the store. Great selection, pleasant atmosphere. Fresh vegetables, too.

Thank you so much for your kind review and for mentioning the special non-food items to be found in beautiful provisioning grocery store, too. I apologize for the very late reply-- more than seven years! I did not see notifications of reviews to this platform until today. The store has changed so much since 2019-- and all for the better. We continue to ask for recommendations from those who visit, which ensures that our selections are wide-ranging, delicious and include the items that visitors are especially happy and surprised to find here. Please come again soon!
