Fantastic Idea - Edit
I love this shop! I really like being able to go in and just buy what I need in my own containers rather than having a load of unnecessary packaging that gets thrown away.
Read moreThe staff are great (especially Kevin) and they have a great variety of vegan sweets such as chocolate, salted caramel fudge, wasabi peanuts and sour and non-sour gummies (as well as non sweet foods such as various herbs, spices, pastas and loose leaf teas). They also have refill stations for things like soap and fabric softener.
I wish they were fully vegan, but they sell honey and eggs and some of their snacks contain dairy. They are mostly vegan though, and one of the owners is vegan.
They can be slow to restock as they only place orders once a month, but this is so that they don't end up with more stock than needed as their goal is to not contribute to waste so they have a good reason for this.

Refill store with nice vegan treats - Edit
Me and GC bought things here a few times, the vegan gummies and fudge (vanilla, and salted caramel flavours) were delicious.
Read moreGood range of products although they order infrequently to avoid waste, but that means you may not get everything you want.
Nice staff, Kevin was always very friendly.
Pros: Vegan fudge and gummies, Nice staff
Cons: May not have stock, Would have liked more vegan options
