Matta's

I love this shop for staples such as nut milks, various tofu items and vegan deli items. Although it isn't totally vegan like the Purple Carrot on Smithdown Road, it also has lots of great value bulk buy items such as nuts, spices, grains and rice. They also stock raw chocolate and vego bars - so no more :-)

a lot of vegan products and for good value. my favourite vegan store for sure!

Lovely shop with a wide range of products. Has some great items and I love it here.

This shop has a delightful selection of vegan items from cheese to desserts. We bought a wide range of chocolates (Booja Booja) and fudge and greatly impressed our non-vegan friends who live in Liverpool.

Matta's is such a wonderful shop. We always stock up on our spices, herbs, tofu, nuts, vegan chocolate, and beans (and much more!) each month. Very friendly and helpful staff and a wide range of products to suit both vegetarians and vegans.

Popped in for a quick nosey and spent half an hour looking round. Lots of vegan-friendly products and all very well priced.

Left with a bag full and will return. A great place to source international ingredients that are tricky to get elsewhere.

What a smell in there!!!! I love it!
A lot of vegan offers for low prices. I wished we would have a shop like that here in Aachen!

Matta's bills itself as an international food shop and not as a health food shop. Some of their things on offer will almost certainly interest a large number of vegetarians of all persuasions (including vegan veggies).

However some of the things that they are offer are quite obviously not vegetarian without having to read label the to see the ingredients (eg dead fish in the freezer compartment). I personally find this somewhat off putting and I have one friend who refuses to go there on account of this. Having said that though they do have some brilliant stuff in Matta's and some veg*n friendly things that I'm not aware in any of the health food shops in Liverpool. I find myself going there a bit more regularly. Its a real shame about some of the things that they sell so far that reason I am unable to rate it higher than this.

Plenty of vegan options amongst others and good value for money (especially the bulk bags of dried beans).

Matta's was a life saver while in Liverpool as it stocks plenty of vegan products including spreads, milks, faux meats... Matta's is not at all, however, a 100% veg shop. Helpful and friendly staff.
