Pricey specialist store

As this shop serves meat I'm not clear why five stars are offered. Based on the high Happy cow ratings and considering the many great vegan experiences I've had in Glasgow this shop was a bit disappointing for me. They had meat option sandwiches and sausage rolls available - the vegan options had all sold out! Not sure why they don't take that opportunity to stock more vegan vs meat products. A few nice vegan products I've not seen elsewhere was a plus (though I didn't buy any as they weren't fairtrade or equivalent). The real highlights are the waste free dry produce and the high quality fresh produce (though expensive).

Pros: Some nice specialist fresh produce , Vegan deli options - if they haven't run out!, Vegan option pastries and breads

Cons: Serves meat, Expensive, There are few vegan specialty products

Vegan snacks

I'd go to grab food for lunch, cause they have nice vegan options to take away.

Great shop, but not as good as the one on Great Western

This is a terrific shop for fruits, veggies and all kind of items which are often hard to come by in supermarkets. Very high quality products, which also means that everything is a bit more expensive here. The bread they have is great (but check before which ones are vegan - some contain dairy!)

If you are living in the west and their shop on Great Western Road is closer, then you should go there, as the selection is larger.

Pros: Great selection, Nice local shop, Good bread

On-the-go Vegan Options

Plenty vegan options in the fridge and deli sections to grab and go (and the store is great too!)

Handy source of picnic for Kelvingrove Park!

This shop is not to far a walk or cycle from Kelvingrove Park, so good for a healthy picnic feast! Hidden Lane is also nearby (tearooms and craft/ art shops).

The fruit and veg selection is excellent, beautiful varieties of unusual produce as well as locally sourced produce too. Some organics.

The staff are really friendly and knowledgeable and happy to explain all the ingredients and sourcing for deli products and will also order things in if you want something in particular.

There are many vegan products, store cupboard ingredients and also a selection of juices and drinks on offer.

It is an excellent shop to explore.

Pros: small store, many products, knowledgeable and friendly staff, good deli selection
