Whole Foods Market - Cambie

I had never been in a Whole Foods, but was happy to find out that there was one just below our friend's condo when we were visiting Vancouver. Some things are pricy, so I only bought specialty items that might not be easy to find elsewhere. The selection of vegan items is huge. The have a fantastic selection of Gardein, Field Roast, and other brands and...lots of Kombucha! They also have bottled fresh juices made in-store that were really good. The only thing I wish is if the soy yogourts/milks were all together in the refrigerated section so that I can see all of my options a little easier, as they're randomly dispersed with the dairy products. I can see why the store gets called "Whole Paycheck", but they do have mostly everything from produce to hygiene/beauty care to anything and everything in between.

I stopped buying there as meat products are very prevalent in this shop. The ever-present stench of meat/seafood is really unpleasant, and I remember a occasions where "fresh" meat/seafood was actively promoted.

I love that its huge and I can find everything there!

Sure Whole Foods is expensive and some say they may be corporate evils, but there are tons and tons of vegan options, the food is clearly labeled, the shelves are always stacked up nicely, the place is always clean, the lighting is comfortable, and they have tons of organic alternative brands. I would say without hesitation it's the best supermarket in town.

They have Dandies vegan marshmallows and Bio vegan gummy bears and sour worms.
