Great selection

The shop had a great selection of different types of vegan proteins, treats including chocolates, cleaning supplies, and many other products that I haven't seen in other shops in Finland. Staff is helpful and friendly 😊

Fully vegan grocery & household shop

All vegan shop, stocking a range of vegan products that may not be found elsewhere. The staff member we spoke with was very helpful in recommending other places in the city to find vegan/organic/gluten free products.

We avoid buying plastic and quite a few of the items we’re in plastic. However there was a great range of plastic free vegan cheese which we appreciated!

We did notice that for certain items that are stocked in other organic shops (e.g. bags of dried lentils) this shop was more expensive, however did appreciate that we could shop in a fully vegan place.

Pros: All vegan, Great range of vegan cheese!

Cons: Some products contained lots of plastic

Great little shop

Bought some food for lunch and some fun snacks all were reasonably priced and tasty
I liked the selection of different foods. The minimalist layout made it easy to see everything

It has a lot of things hard t find in other places

I went there specifically looking for vegan marshmallows, they had a big number of options and varieties. I also got cheese flavoured snacks and crisps and a vegan face detergent.
The staff is very kind and the place is super nice. It is on the expensive side but not excessively.
Will go there again for sure!

My vegan happy place

I always love to visit Vegekauppa, it makes my life better. The owner is very sweet and helpful. I often buy things like tofu, vitamins, sausages, cheese and snack bars. Large candy & chocolate collection.

Vegan specialties

This vegan chain has the best selection of specialty vegan food, but the prices are also a bit higher than elsewhere. If you want to try good vegan cheeces and proteins, need smoked paprika or some
vegan toothpaste this smallish store will usually have a good selection. They also great service and some pastries on most days :)

Pros: Only vegan food chain in Finland

Cons: Specialty store prices

Everything you need

I love shopping at all-vegan shops. No checking labels here. They have a great variety of international products and even sell some high-quality protein powders you can normally only get online..
I can only recommend this place.

Pros: Great variety

Good selection of vegan essentials

Small store but carries a good selection of vegan foods, meat-substitutes, snacks, and even fresh cakes.

If I needed to stock up on vegan groceries, I'd certainly check it out.

Pros: all vegan, good selection, friendly staff

Small but packs a vegan-tactic punch!

Love this place- good range of vegan goodies from replacement to junk to health to convenience items. Excellent selection of vegan cheeses- we packed about eight kg home from our vacation :)

Small but great

The shop I'd always support. The most important is that it's completely vegan. There are some very nice products and the people running the place are cool.

Pros: It's completely vegan, Cool stuff, Nice products

Best grocery store in Helsinki

100% vegan store in Kallio. Anything edible you need, you can find it here. A small shop (however, it is moving soon to larger premises) has everything from protein powders and vitamins to vegan ice cream and sausages.

Pros: 100% vegan , Great selection of food, Super friendly staff

Cons: Could have more shops, only one in Helsinki area

Little Vegan Grocery Store

Small, but it has items that regular grocery stores in Helsinki don't have such as black salt and chick pea flour--plus you can be sure that what you buy is vegan without having to check every product!

Pros: Specialty items

Cons: Small

Great shop

Little shop with a lot of good vegan products. Today I bought two of the curry can, and just ate one. It was absolutely delicious and a portion big enough (with homemade rice) for a big eater like me (24 years old physically active male). The can cost 3.9€ so it's a very affordable lunch. I also bought the ravioli tofu, and ate that for lunch. Also a big portion (670 grams), and cost around 5.5€. Sells a lot of mock meat, almost all Violife cheeses, and a lot of chocolates/bars. I will come back very often. Also the employee (owner?) was very friendly and helpful. If you're new to veganism and don't know what to eat, and/or if you don't have time to cook much, go there! The non-dairy milks there are also slightly cheaper than in the regular super markets (2€ for 1L of Provamel soy milk). I hope the owner keeps on expanding the choice of products :)

Pros: Cheap, friendly staff.

Cons: Nothing.

All vegan grocery store

The only 100% vegan grocery store in Helsinki. It's small but pretty awesome. Nice selection of many products that are currently not available anywhere else in the city (or the country), especially when it comes to treats. Prices are reasonable.

Pros: 100% vegan, good selection, reasonable prices

Cons: small

The best place in Helsinki

The only all-vegan grocerystore in Helsinki. Very affordable, has both rarities as well as the commodities of every vegan household. The cheapest Club-Mate of the city! Amzing selection of candy, cheese and sausages.
Great service, the owner really knows their business!

Pros: Friendly staff, Very affordable, Great selection
