Small store - Edit
Stopped by while in town. The grocery store was definitely A LOT smaller than expected. Not very many options at all. There were a lot of local products and companies with goods there which is always a plus! But not many items that you can take with on the go if you wanted to buy anything from the store itself.
Pros: local products
Cons: Small selection

Wonderful, fresh food! - Edit
Finally a vegan restaurant opened in the Quad Cities! Features good fresh food and smoothies I could sip forever. The grocery store sells meat and dairy (probably needs to to stay in business in this area), which I actually somewhat appreciate; hybrid businesses like these are what make omnis go vegan! My mom's still making the transition, but I know a few more visits here will do the trick.

Small Grocery and Cafe - Edit
Smaller grocery store than I expected, however they did have really nice selection of fruits and veggies with good prices. Not as many gluten-free items on the menu as I was hoping for. No hot coffee either. I ordered cream of mushroom gluten-free, vegan soup. There were lots of chunky mushrooms and onions in the soup. Not as creamy as I was expecting. I ordered a bowl of soup for $6.50. It didn’t come with crackers or bread. Iappreciate their efforts. I’ll try again another day.

Plant Based Cafe, Organic Grocery - Edit
The food at teh Cafe is a great stop to make when you are in town! Much to choose from! Very friendly, helpful community.
on the downside...
The Healthy Harvest Urban Farms Grocery does sell meat, eggs, dairy, and fish in the SAME building as the VEGAN CAFE! How can one claim to be vegan and sell the animal derived ingredients from enslaved, abused, tortured, murdered innocent animals? These products are far from healthy. I believe it is a shame that someone who states themselves as being vegan will stoop so low to make exceptions for people who eat animals when it is EASY to buy those said items in other stores! No real vegan would ever bend on ethics, morals, and values for convenience of a human carnivore! These animal products should be banned from the "Happy Harvest Grocery." It would be easy to offer the alternatives instead of adding to the existing problems already associated with the farmed animals industry.

Hearty and Yummy! - Edit
I loved my black bean burger and my husband got the BLT. It was super yummy. The macaroni salad was a bit flavorless but the Quinoa salad side was really great. We also had the green smoothie which was super creamy and tasty. Awesome little place :)
