Small and mighty - Edit
Great store, with a broad offering from bulk grains, spices, and cleaning supplies. We are visiting and I deeply appreciate being able to buy only what i need, with no waste. The pricing is reasonable, and they offer many vegan staple options and organic produce.
Read moreThe deli was amazing! The cream cheese and kimchi sandwich was exceptional. It’s served on a hearty sourdough to hold up to any liquid from the kimchi. A real treat and perfect for a picnic!!!🧺 The chickpea and spinach pie was perfect. Full of flavor and hearty without being overly filling. The olives with herbs are really tasty.

Great selection - Edit
We popped in here hoping to find some zero waste herbs and we were pleasantly surprised by the range of bulk, zero range items on offer! They also had a really good vegan selection in the fridges and of snacks. It’s conveniently located near the town centre compared to other zero waste shops which is handy #veganuary #Veganuary

Great unusual products - Edit
I always go here for vegan products I can’t find elsewhere, there are lots of options and I find lots of unusual items to use when cooking.

Great health food shop. Bad takeaway food - Edit
Great options as a health supermarket. Plenty of dried ingredients and vegan chocolates/sweets.
Read moreBut really disappointing sandwiches from the deli.
Stale bread, bulked out with cress and giant chunks of celery (yeah, celery in a sandwich 🤨).
Worth a visit if you're cooking and need some hard to get vegan ingredients - but there are a ton better quality vegan options for deli and sandwiches near by.

Neat products, affordable lunches - Edit
When it comes to the products, you’re talking pretty much entirely vegan - they do stock “ethical” eggs and cow’s milk, whatever they are - but besides those, the products stocked are typically more speciality and small brands, so expect just-above supermarket prices. As for the lunches, burgers and wraps hover in the £3 range, with extra small bites for £1-2. And personally these are well worth the expense.

Good selection of vegan food - Edit
Apart from being a great little organic store they also have a deli counter with vegetarian and vegan items (clearly labeled). I lived the chickpea spinach pie and the golden milk truffle.

Wonderful shop, OK takeaways - Edit
Clearly a well stocked surprisingly large store with friendly staff. Takeaway kiosk OK with lovely dessert items but wrap needs a little something to save from blandom (salsa or mango or more/some hummus etc). Fussy service with bags within bags, stickers to seal etc but very fresh food and worth the money. I'd go again, the store itself is superb all round.
Read morePros: Variety, Clean and friendly
Cons: Food could be more flavourful, Flippant older lady works there

Awesome grocery store - Edit
I almost walked right by it so keep your eyes out for the green doors. Once inside make a quick left before the register and a sharp left again down to the bakery where there are all manner of vegan goodies. We tried a couscous salad and a bean pie of some sorts and both where phenomenal! Very kind staff and also they carry the Vegan Society Magazine. Full options of organic produce and grocery items.

Lovely shop - Edit
Looks small outside but inside it's a real Aladdin's cave, full of lovely grub, and run by a co-operative I believe. As well as a very good stock of vegetarian groceries they have bread, and ready made food like pies and falafels, so you could buy lunch here and have a picnic in one of Bath's parks. Wish they'd open a branch near us.
