A must visit 🌱 - Edit
It's amazing to be able to go into a grocery store and buy anything! What a luxury. I was travelling light and could only grab a few things, but they have a huge selection of perishables and non-perishables. Lovely service and owners. I hope they do well in this new location. 🙏🌱

Great selection of products - Edit
We came here to buy sweets. They had a big range of vegan sweets and savoury items and vegan cheeses etc. we bought the sweet William white buds, some chocolate chip cookies and a crumble charm raspberry wheel which I’d been wanting to try for ages. The person in the shop told be how good the crumble charm wheel was and they were right. Amazing!

The perfect grocery store for traveling vegans. - Edit
While small compared to larger chain stores, the range of all vegan goods is impressive. Whether you’re looking for a meal on the go or ingredients to prepare something at home, this store has you covered. The staff are friendly and helpful. The prices are more than reasonable. They also stock other helpful items such as soap and potential gifts.

Cute little shop that has everything I need - Edit
Amazing! Love this place. Right at town hall square underground. You can see it if you walk from the train station into the square and turn left at the end of the hallway it’s on the right side. Or you just go down the steps at St Andrew’s cathedral.
Read moreThe shop has everything I needed. Vegan sauces from fish sauce to all kind of stir fry, vegan sweets and protein bars, vegan honey comb, vegan gummy bears, lunch boxes, frozen calamari and chicken, bratwurst, dumplings etc. Need to go back for more. But make sure to get the Lamyong Salty Chicken from the frozen section!
Also having wearegreenback products and natures charm condensed milk.
Pros: Nice selection and fair prices , Friendly , Easy to find

Store Open!! - Edit
This store is actually open, despite what Happy Cow shows, just at shop 40 instead of 7!!! They had so many good options for anyone who is Vegan and even those with dietary requirements. Finally found Tofurky here after searching for so long.

A Store for Everything and More - Edit
This store has a huge variety, they sell accessories, they sell shoes, they sell sweets, they sell frozen foods, they sell vegan dog and cat food and they even sell desserts! Which was perfect after the visit to Soul Burger across the road.

One-Stop Shop for Vegan Needs; Extremely Friendly Staff - Edit
Fully vegan grocery store selling meat and dairy alternatives, snacks and treats (including stocking fresh desserts from Funky Pies), cookbooks, skincare, bags and wallets, etc. What really stood out for me was the amazing staff! On the day I visited, Ruby was single-handedly running the store, and she was extremely friendly, kind, and patient. I was looking for Australian-made snacks as well as skincare incorporating native bush herbs as souvenirs to bring back to Singapore. Ruby ethusiastically helped to recommend suitable items, yet was not pushy at all. Very satisfied with my purchases - I'm happily muching my vegan versions of Tim Tams while writing this review in Singapore!
Read moreAlthough there are definitely places that sell some of the items at a slightly lower price, I understand that this store needs to make a profit, and I'm always happy to support vegan small businesses. I believe this is also a very convenient one-stop shop for anyone - locals and tourists alike - hoping to fulfil all their vegan needs. Located near the University of Sydney and the Saturday Market at Glebe Public School; also right across the street from the vegan eateries Soul Burger Glebe and Oh My Days Patisserie. Accessible by bus from Central Station or Museum Station.

Great Variety of Vegan Products - Edit
This store has a wide range of different vegan food and ingredients that you cannot find in a general supermarket. Not only would you find vegan sausages or patties, but you could also find mock meat, which gives you many opportunities to have more variety to choose from. The only issue is that the prices are quite high, which could be out of my spending budget at times.

A little bit of everything - Edit
This small store offers a diversity of vegan products, ranging from food, cosmetics, bags to pet food. They have a large variety of things! Some of which are imported, while others are Australian products.
Read moreI had the impression that items are changing quickly. Whenever I visited, something had changed or went out of stock. Also, the order of products was not very systematic, because some items appeared in another shelf several times.
Prices are generally high (and may be higher than elsewhere). But staff is very friendly and you can collect points if you become a regular customer.
Pros: diversity
Cons: not very orderly, bit expensive

100% vegan shopping - Edit
You don't have to waste any time checking ingredients as this has all been done for you.
Read moreThe store has a wide selection of products: sweet and savoury food, snacks, treats, frozen goods, "pet" food, beauty products and even a small selection of bags, shoes, wallets, books, etc.
Each season they get special items for Easter and Xmas so you never have to miss out during the holidays.
There are also often smaller brand pop ups in store showcasing their products and doing tastings.
Staff are very friendly and helpful.
Cons: You only want a grab a few things and walk out with multiple big bags full of goodies :)
Pros: All vegan, Best staff, Big selection

Great choice of vegan food - Edit
Love this store, they have a great range of all vegan food, cosmetics and other articles. They have new articles all the time and the staff is very helpful if you are looking for something specific.
Read moreI recently tried their online ordering and it works very well even for chilled articles.
They also offer a vegan mystery box each month which is great value for money (just received my first one and it didn't have any sampling sizes in there like some other subscription boxes that I tried). Great store!
Pros: Huge range of vegan products, Friendly and helpful staff, Online delivery works very well

I love the cruelty free shop - their staff are really friendly and theres such a huge variety of items. Some things are a little expensive but you would pay the same for a meat alternative so I dont have an issue with that. Really wide range of items and vendors.

Tucked away - Edit
Walked here from town hall but once found it's a good shop. Open later than the one in Canberra. Very friendly service. I come here almost every fortnight because the vegan food I need isn't available in Coles or Woolies. They now have a birthday special too. Yesterday they asked for my birthdate and said there's some rewards. It's new so they aren't sure.

Vegan food galore - Edit
The store is chock a block with delicious vegan food including cooking ingredients, cosmetics, clothing, bags and of course the vegan junk food. The options are incredible and they even have difficult to obtain vegan products such as liquid smoke. Whilst the prices are more expensive going on days such as Vegan Day Out, which I recommend even going to at least once, help you save money from other stores nearby and try the free food tastings of products you wouldn't normally buy. I also love how they support animal sanctuaries through merch and their donation box. Going here is a bit of a treat for me and I recommend checking it out if you are in need of a vegan junk food fix.
Read morePros: Great variety, Fun family events i.e Vegan Day Out, Supports animal charities
Cons: Expensive
