Very cute

Nice little shop with vegan cupboard and freezer items, as well as some baked goods. The jackfruit cheesy burrito was yummy! Small minus because it’s quite expensive

Vegan Heaven in Leicester

Super cute little shop with a HUGE range of vegan treats. Some amazing sweet and savoury treats which are actually freshly made on the premises! Very clear allergen information. I went for a low gluten flapjack which was absolutely fantastic! They also sell locally made tofu! Really great little shop well worth a visit.

Pros: Freshly made on site takeaway food, Good range of vegan things!, 100% vegan

It was nice.

Well-stocked shop, the shop-keeper was very nice. But the prices were quite expensive, but the hand-made food tasted so good, I think there were vegan chicken and kidney beans inside.

Pros: Friendly staff., Vegan-friendly.

Cons: Expensive., Small store.

Great for a take away snack

Lovely little vegan store. Popped in while visiting Leicester and had tasty homemade vegan sausage rolls and cakes. Perfect - so glad we spotted it just around the corner after a long morning at the Richard III visitor centre. Wish I’d had enough room to try all the different options as the samosas looked amazing too.

Pros: Homemade savouries and cakes, Central location

Absolute Gem in Leicester

We're so lucky to have such a shop in Leicester. So many different products and the staff are super helpful! I had a date slice from their selection of baked goods and it rivalled my Grandma's recipe (which is a huge compliment). It's a little expensive, but it's a speciality store and so it's to be expected. My omni partner was even tempted to try several different things in there because he didn't even know a vegan version existed! I'd highly recommend to anybody who is starting on their vegan journey, as the staff are so kind and friendly. If you're a long time vegan who hasn't visited.. why not? You're really missing out.

Vegan shop and takeaway

What a terrific shop! It's small but packs so much into the space it has. It has everything you need, as well as some sweets if you want to treat yourself. There are also sweet and savoury bakery items to take away. I only wish I lived closer!

A tardis of vegan treasures!

I love being in a shop where I don’t need to check if the products are suitable! It’s PACKED full of vegan treasures ... you’ll find your favourite tofu and your favourite cheese in here. I was just visiting so only came away with a couple of badges and a new flavour of nakd bar. Lovely staff here too.
