Some good offers, check your receipt though. - Edit
Honestly we go in here for a few items that we can't get elsewhere, or if we happen to be passing. They appear to have some good deals though you should always check your receipt as we have been over charged almost every time we have been.
Read moreThe fresh veg is pricier, I get it, it's fresh and possibly organic? Problem is it's not as good quality as what I can pay half the price for at Coles or IGA. I'll happily pay more but it needs to at least be on par with quality.
They tend to want to check your bag a lot, maybe that's because people use bags instead of baskets to grab their foods? And there was usually someone waiting at the door acting as a security guard. The last few times we have gone the check out staff are also seem very moody or aloof, as if they've all got somewhere better to be.
Look, the vibe of the place isn't great. It's cramped, we run in to specific areas to grab the few good deals we know they sometimes have and then leave, no real customer service and if I didn't have to go in there I wouldn't bother.
Update for March 2022:
Still consistently overcharging items at the till. Watch everything they put through and correct them! I hate to think how many people have been conned out of their dollars because they're not watching the price of things going through the till!
Also, one avocado for $4.99?! Seriously?!

Cons: Not too welcoming, Check your receipts , Veg doesn't last long

Yeah I will never forget the time I was filling my own pre-weighed container from the bulk bins and a staff member told me I had to line up (in the long queue) to get my container
Read moreweighed at the counter. I remarked that that was a bit annoying and the staff member raised his voice at me and said “We actually demand it!” Fair enough to insist, but basic customer service would not involve going from zero to 100 in three seconds.

Excellent range and reasonable prices - Edit
Really well stocked, love that they now also have lots of own brand goods. It’s huge but be ready to jostle with other shoppers along narrow aisles to find what you want.

I LOVED MY LOCAL STORE - Edit
When i lived in Melbourne this was the place I would frequently visit to top up my Plant based Pantry.
Read moreThis place makes a Vegan / Health freak feel like they have died and willingly gone to Vegan consumer heaven in a quirky Alice and wonderland environment where once can find themselves getting lost upon the shelves stacked full of dried beans, pulses, lentils and activated organic nuts.
If you are in Northcote GO TO THIS PLACE! If you are in Melboune... GO TO THIS PLACE!!!
You wont regret - the experience within itself is worth the trip x Happy Cow Shopping..
A few other recommendations throughout Melbourne city offering Vegan Cuisine and Yoga studios can be found in this article..

My go-to store - Edit
This is honestly a store I visit daily. Many of the products are cheaper than large supermarket chains and they also have so many brands that I cant find anywhere else. Great prices and a good variety of products.

cheapest organic food I've ever seen - Edit
This place blew my mind, they have everything organic at conventional prices. If these were everywhere, it would make less well off people able to afford good quality food and the world would be a better place

it’s an experience - Edit
Wonderful shop, amazing options and all for such a cheap price however the actual experience of walking down tiny isles and standing in a long line surrounded by lots of people is not for everyone, it’s such a great shop they should branch out and make the shop so much bigger! I love it here!
Read morePros: variety, price
Cons: crowded, long waiting time

Jam packed - Edit
Not for the faint-hearted or the claustrophobic! Terra Madre packs many products into narrow spaces and tiny rooms and is rarely quiet.
Read moreThere are some excellent prices on bulk dry goods, a wide range of Vegan friendly products and organic fresh produce.
Definitely worth seeking out the quiet days for a more leisurely visit.
Pros: Good prices on organic produce, Variety
Cons: Usually crowded, Some items are pricey

I adore how cozy and small this shop is, yet they stock everything I'd ever need. The staff is incredibly friendly and they recently started selling their own brand of super foods.
