A happy, healthy, and halcyonian hive.

A quiet space tucked away as a secluded treasure. Grab some groceries and stay for some dim sum.

Hidden Vegan Gem

Delicious vegan dim sum and hot pot.
Christina is talented chef and welcoming cafe. Cute and cosy. We had lotus leaf sticky rice wrap, steamed veggie dumplings, curry steamed dumpling, beef cheung fun, fried shrimp wrap. Nice personal touches in cafe, soft lighting, open kitchen, items available for purchase in store. Highly recommend - will satisfy tastebuds of vegan, vegetarian and meat eaters!

Pros: Fresh tasty food, Cute cafe and shop, Friendly service

Homey is the best!

I'm a big fan of Homey! I've been a customer since Christina's days at her previous spot on Centre Street. She's genuinely one of the nicest people you'll meet. Homey has an excellent range of exclusive frozen vegan items that are hard to find elsewhere in the city. The addition of vegan dim sum and hot pot had me thrilled. I love the vegan "fish" balls that she has for hot pot. It's a spot everyone can enjoy, whether they follow a vegan lifestyle or not!

Vegan Dim Sum

I always loved to go to Homey Foods before the move, but now with their beautiful new location and incredible dim sum menu I’ll have to come more often!

Christina is super nice as always and we let her pick which dishes we should try since I’m not overly familiar with dim sum options. All of it was so delicious!

For all your faux meat needs!

The friendly owner showed us around the shop which is full of all kinds of product for you to make your own vegan creations at home. A great vibe in an unexpected location in NE Calgary.

Small local business

Great local business, and the owner is always great to visit with while you shop. Lots of freezer space for animal meat alternatives. Sauces and soups also available. We picked up our field roast holiday roast there, for Christmas. 10/10 recommended this place #Veganuary

Pros: Lots of vegan options , Hard to find items available here, Reasonable prices

Lots of vegan options at Homey.

My first time shopping at Homey and I bought different products that I wouldn’t find elsewhere to try. This morning I put together a dim sum of sorts #Veganuary

Go now!!! :-)

Can't say enough good things about this place. The owner, Christina, is so friendly and helpful. If you need ideas on how to prepare any of the items, she's a wealth of information. Majority of the food is vegan, and vegetarian items are kept separate. I love this place!

Pros: So much variety, The owner is lovely and has so many ideas.

Frozen mock meats

There is a large selection of frozen mock meats from Asia. The new owners, husband and wife are currently renovating the space, but will likely have what you are looking for. Packages are in English, and you'll want to read the
ingredients over...
Nice people, and I hope that they will do well.

Tasty mock meats :)

I had a really hard time finding this place, but was extremely satisfied once I did! My first time inside, the lady working there helped me find where the vegan selection was and showed me some of the options. All of the vegan/vegetarian items are frozen and stored in freezers throughout the shop (and are definitely kept separate from the meat). The products range from mock fish, to mock meatballs, to dumplings, to mock ham...tons of variety. My absolute favourite is the vegetarian gong bao chicken - the chicken comes with a delicious sauce, and once it's thawed it's easy to mix with veggies and rice. My coworkers were jealous when I ate this at lunch :P

Pros: big selection , tasty products

Cons: being within a butcher shop! , hard to locate , sometimes hard to figure out what each product is
