plenty vegan options. conveniently located 2 blocks nearby metro transit station where ALL buses begin & end. - Edit
i wish i could access my type writ submission of this venue b/c i did not find it at first, and i had typed a lot of personal accounts and original composition accounts: then i could si9mply easily copy paste. anyways, centrally located convenient to/from entire county santa cruz CA b/c ALL buses begin&end2blocks nearby. nice personable employees liked to help individually specially in each their own unique ways for each unique individual. 4example one educated me re the dental gums benefits of swishing with organic coconut oil. others appreciated entertaining rain dance when wet shoes danced the quick shuffle drying out on their rain rug of absorbency provided on their indoors floor on rainy days, and really, when was it not ever not possibly raining b/c redwoods mountains were right there a mile nearby beginning. a sample dinner staple i'd often buy b4bus home to forest to listen to audio books while chewing supper was the organic raw vegan fruits and nuts Manna Brand bread and a large quart size tub of vegan dairy-free yogurt: the 2 would become mixed for meal later, with fingers placing pieces of the Manna bread into the vegan yogurt tub to become spoon mixed for flavor and nutrition for heavy backpacking trees planter and vegan Leafleter, misc etc services needed strength and energy for. proximate to pacific avenue ri9ght out doorway with infinite potential unique entertaining characters, maybe music buskers, maybe f fancy dancers misc etc. from gathering your day trip picnic supplies here, you could access redwoods or coast or entire county by buses2blocks nearby the metro transit station ALL buses begin and end there. walk distance to santa cruz pier/boardwalk as well, where also was a roller-coaster amusement park with arcade4kids misc etc. That beach was an international destination for global visitors, opty4u2encunter interesting foreigners visiting our shores. buses to ucsc.edu nature preserve, an intact ecosystem with flourishing flora/fauna including but not limited to changing student body 15,000+ annually plus also "forest dwellers" who could also get their food shopped at this downtown Location NEW LEAF, SANTA CRUZ CA.

Great selections! - Edit
Stopped here while shopping and picked up some vegan Brie, vegan carrot cake loaf and a vegan banana bread. They have a sandwich deli inside with a vegan option which was cool. Also some prepared foods that were vegan. Cute shop with some unique vegan selections!

Standard co-op style grocery - Edit
The premade salads were good and the produce section was impressive. I wish they'd had more vegan baked goods.

Everything you could want, quality fresh produce - Edit
This is a very well stocked store and the small meat section, unlike in some other places, is tucked away and easily avoided which is nice.
Read moreThe fruit and veg that I tried looked like it ha been just picked and the fruit was really delicious - excellent peaches, berries, figs etc.
They have all the packaged, canned, and bulk foods you could possibly be after; tofu, tempeh and all the usual stuff, with a good range of variety and reasonable prices.
The store was really busy both times I went in and staff were still taking the time to be friendly which I know isn't easy when you have a line of customers to serve and you are expected to b answering phone calls to the store at the same time!
They also have a program where for every bag that you bring in (instead of using paper bags from the store) they donate 10 cents to charity of your choice. Charities are listed and you choose one by dropping your token in the box. They've raised a lot of money for local charities with this program - a very nice touch!!
All in all I thought it was a great store with a lot of provision for vegans.
Pros: excellent range, good quality, pleasant service and atmosphere, supports local charities
Cons: isn't completely veg
