Nice, overpriced

Nice zero waste store with a lot of dry staples. Be careful because there's honey or beeswax in a lot of staff sold here. Lot of things are super expensive for what they are too, like tiny little lotion sticks for $20. Feels like you're getting kinda ripped off despite reducing waste for some things?

Dry goods section is good though and you can bring your own container for a discount.

Favorite food store

I love this place! I go here for all my dry goods (pasta, legumes, grains, baking, etc) and spices. All their foods are sold in bulk, so you can bring your own containers, or buy their compostable paper bags. Prices are comparable to packaged goods in a supermarket.

They also sell bulk soaps and detergents, so bring your empties here to refill instead of buying more plastic!

I'm not sure if they are 100% vegan, but I've noticed a couple items where they only sell the vegan version of what would otherwise be non-vegan (e.g. gummy bears)

Pros: Great selection of dry foods and spices, Hard-to-find items, Good service and nice atmosphere
