WOW! What an absolutely wonderful little store and incredibly lovely staff member (I think his name was Vidas?). This store was packed with delicious vegan products and they even offered my favorite local tofu made by Clean Bean Tofu, which they have asked the owner of Clean Bean to package in more environmentally friendly packaging (and the owner does this for them). I love this store! :)

Brilliant package free shop - Edit
Great shop for all your store cupboard needs next to Hackney city farm. Lots of package free stuff, nice organic cans and jars. Milk, cheese and yogurt from local farms and delicious locally made tofu and chocolate treats. You can also pick up your Growing Communities veg box just outside the store. Great little community hub with super friendly staff and affordable prices. Everyone should be shopping here!

Friendly quirky packaging free food shop - Edit
Located in the Hackney City Farm complex not far from Columbia Road, this cute up-cycled manages to fit a lot into a small space. Staff are super friendly, especially useful if you are new to packaging free shopping. Happy to help you tare your jars / bags, discuss the products and help with recipe ideas. They have paper bags (10p each) if you don't have enough receptacles of your own, up-cycled cotton bags for sale, and there are often free spare jars other shoppers have donated.
Read moreA social enterprise, and run by volunteers, this is not at all expensive, as you might expect from East London.
The range is expanding all the time so check out their social media @getloosefoods to see the latest products. Not many other places you can get loose lasagne sheets! I also love that they stock a growing range of British loose beans and pulses from Hodmedods.
Do note the opening times before travelling as they are not open everyday, but helpfully open on a number of evenings.
