The service was very helpful, especially if you have allergies, and you're gluten-free etc. The ambiance is great it's a market with variety of choices. read more

You don't wanna know how happy I was when I found this place and walked in to see all the goodies. Omg I'll be back more than I want to admit, they have almost everything I shop for, I just can't find it at normal grocery stores like in CA. This store makes me happy, they have so much and for the same price as the other stores. New food to try and old ones I know and love, they have hot food as well. The staff was super nice and friendly and knew about Sprouts (a store on the west coast) which I miss dearly for all their vegan groceries. I'm so excited to come back!! read more

Owner is a gem! Super helpful and kind. Awesome selection of foods that I cannot find in other places. Very excited to try these new finds :) Thanks! read more

Their selection is quite large for the serious vegan. The staff were helpful. The store is clean and set up for easy perusal.

I enjoy the vegan grocery, they are very friendly and have a good variety of products. I was disappointed that they didn't have any fresh produce. I love fresh fruit and vegetables, especially avocado, my favorite is vegan potato salad. read more

Just moved to Buffalo, NY for a new job. During my interview I was sure to inquire about what opportunities that I would have to buy lots of vegan food. One of the individuals in the interview let me know that they had a vegan grocery store and in that moment I need I had to stop there and check it out for myself. It was literally my first stop. I mean after all what's a new apartment with out all the goodies you need to be comfortable. Especially during a pandemic. I got there about 30 minutes before they close. However, everything in this store was so organized which made the items I was searching for super easy to fine. In addition, to organization the store was very clean which was a plus. A small hiccup for me was that some of the items were a bit pricier than they would in some stores I typically frequent. ( However, that could also be seen the difference in shopping per state) Either way it doesn't bother me because with the pandemic going on it is especially important to support small and local businesses. They accept SNAP benefits which is also pretty important. The cashier was super polite. She let me know that in a week or so they would be moving across the street to a bigger location so that's exciting. read more

Oh what a sweet little treasure!! It's not exactly centrally located, but it's well worth the drive. Not only for the selection and the fun of shopping without having to read a single label, but to support a local business. Ok listen to this ..... vegan corned beef!!! Ok it wasn't available right now ( it can be ordered) , but I've been searching for it forever! They have everything from vegan marshmallows to laundry detergent. I know your thinking ,well besides the marshmallows what did you buy? Well I also bought Cowgirl Steaks, Udon and Pho , hot dogs, Tuno fish,Chik'n Veggie pot pie, Buffalo Chik'n pot pie, Turk'y Ched'ar & Broccoli pockets, Ham style & Ched'ar pockets to name a few. I've tried some of these things having received them from that store as a Mothers Day gift basket, and they were delicious. So I was excited to go there myself. The service was wonderful , kind , caring and helpful. Now for my not vegetarian or vegan friends, don't worry, be brave and try the food. You will be amazed how far vegan and vegetarian food has come from the old days of yuck. It's delicious and so many meat eater friends incorporated vegetarian meat into their menu just because they like it. So here's a great place to try things you like but in vegan versions. read more

such an amazing selection of plant based groceries & more products! the grab n go prepared foods are so nice to have as an option for a ready to go meal! they are always so friendly & helpful, i highly recommend :) read more

Went in here for the first time since they moved their shop, and let me tell you, the options compared to a regular grocery store were amazing. So many different selections, with lots of small businesses to choose from. We love to see small businesses supporting small businesses. I got very basic items, as I was only going in to get some snacks that you wouldn't be able to find in your average wegmans, tops, aldis, or target. I ended up getting some ice cream, peanut "m&m's", some spinach and artichoke dip, a pizza, and I ended up grabbing buffalo "chicken wings" (made from seitan). A little bit pricy, but much is expected for snacks, let alone vegan snacks. I'd much rather prefer a small business to get that money instead of a corporation anyways. The staff were incredibly kind and personable too. I'll definitely be coming in more often!! read more

Great vegan options,, easy, convenient, everything is vegan, so you don't have to check, quality pre made Togo food as well.

The very best of the best I'm so happy I found this in North Tonawanda. This has everything you need for your vegan needs! The prices are the very best! The owner is all about customer service! Her sister owns the black heart Cafe across the street read more

The Vegan Grocery Store - Grocery Near Me - North Tonawanda, New York

I am shocked that I have yet to write a review on The Vegan Grocery Store. While I have been vegetarian for almost six years, I went vegan this past year. This was my first Easter where I needed vegan chocolate in my basket. My parents went in April for the first time (yes, my parents got to go before me, haha!!) and they came home with a bunch of stuff.... mainly for them. My mom went crazy talking about how awesome the store was and how she found this and that, but all she got me vegan chicken nuggets. In the land of vegan candies, snacks, pizzas, and frozen treats galore, you got me nuggets?? Come on mom?! Back story aside, I finally got to go on my birthday back in June for the first time. It was part of my gifts- buy whatever you want. Indeed I did. I get anxious easily, so the first trip was a sensory overload. NoWhey, GoMaxGo candy bars that veganize all of your favorite treats, Greyston Bakery (the brownies and blondies are moist with a capital M), May Wah meatless alternatives, local favorite Yeah Pierogi, the list goes on. Sure, they have some products I can find at Wegmans or Walmart, but most of the things they sell cannot be found locally. Just recently they moved to an even larger location across the street, and they have small carts to use now too and even more product. Their old location is now Little Black Heart Coffee Cafe, which was the small coffee bar that was previously behind the counter. Every trip to the Vegan Grocery Store is special to me. The staff is so friendly and we chat every time. I once had an issue with a damaged candy bar (all the caramel leaked out and the bar was empty, likely due to shipping issues in the Summer), and they kindly refunded me. Some of the prices can be a bit high, but if you were to buy the online it would be more expensive. Besides, shop local. I don't do my normal grocery shopping here, but it is always worth stopping by every few months to stock up on fun vegan finds. Give them a follow on Instagram to stay up to date with all the new products that come in. If you see something you want, go and get it. I made it in time for the vegan pumpkin pie, but missed out on the vegan advent calendar. You never know what will sell out quickly!! read more

Are you a vegan whose tired of reading food labels at your local grocery store just to find out they added dairy to something you never thought would have dairy in it in the first place ?! Well well well, then look no further then an entire vegan grocery store where you wildest no reading label dreams can come true ! Haha, okay I'm done. But seriously, this place is amazing ! I love just waltzing around, shopping for anything that my lil ol taste buds desire without having to whip out my magnifying glass to read the ingredients list ! And, the best part is this cute little grocery store also provides vegan products that I have yet to see anywhere else locally ! Even Whole Foods. From frozen goodies, to candy, to snacks, you name it this place seems to have it ! read more

The Vegan Grocery Store - Vegan grocery store - Grocery Near Me - North Tonawanda, New York

I've been a few times (I would come more often but I live so far away) but every time I visit I always find myself pleasantly surprised and amazed.

The Vegan Grocery Store - Bunch of food and snacks for around 100$ not bad at all! Yummmmm! - Grocery Near Me - North Tonawanda, New York

WNY now has an all vegan grocery store!!! This small shop has lots of hard-to-find and never before seen items. There is an impressive selection of candy, frozen items, refrigerated items, snacks, condiments, compostavle plates, laundry detergent, and more. This place opened two days ago and was already sold out of some items. They restock every Thursday and will order things by request as well. Keep an eye on this place. More good things to come, no doubt! read more

Such a cute little shop! It's nicely organized and has a large assortment of vegan products (more than what little ol' Wegmans has to offer). I was pleasantly surprised by some of the prices, but the expectation to pay more for something that ethically sourced and made held true - and I certainly don't mind it. I bought all kinds of goodies to splurge on, and the grocer was very friendly. I was a bit apprehensive about what the atmosphere might be for those just looking to dip their toes into vegan alternatives, but I was pleased to find I had nothing to worry about :) Every little bit counts, right? Ever tried mushroom jerky before? Highly recommend! I'll definitely have to head back soon to try out more new treats! read more

Very interesting store. If you are vegan or want to explore vegan food I highly suggest you try shopping at this grocery store. You pick what you like and know the staff will guide you to select some items read more

I just moved to the state and was intrigues by the fact they are one of only about 15 all vegan groceries in the country! Plus being woman owned, and a few shops down from a great vegan coffee shop, I had to go. I'm not vegan,but I have to use vegan dairy. I am a former vegetarian.and vegan though, and am very comfy with vegan products. Being gluten free though, is what made me go back to eating some meat. A lot of vegan products use wheat, and it's always frustrating, bc the allergens frequently overlap. I went to get their vegan chicken I saw on a fb ad, grabbed some vegan sushi as well. They also offer freshly made breakfast sandwiches and other grab and go items, which is fabulous. Staff was friendly. The prices were comparable to big box stores. A lot of the things I saw there you could find at wegmans, for a dollar cheaper, but small.business and all. Back in indy, that would be 2-4 dollars more at the independent store. Didnt.make.it easy to shop at the local shop if you were on a budget. This shop though, definitely worth checking out. Won't be on my weekly rotation, as a lot of the items I can get nearer to.me for comparable prices, but if you're near North Tonawanda, by all means check it out. read more

Its so nice to go shopping and not have to check labels! Gabbie and Jason, the owners, are fantastic people who have gone above and beyond for their customers. They order items by the case for me to pick up at my convenience and are always friendly and incredibly knowledgeable about their stock. Definitely check this gem of a store out, vegan or not!! read more

One of my all-time favorite places to shop in Buffalo! The store may be small, but it's very clean, well stocked and maintained by wonderful owners. I'm always finding new products and options here that I don't see at Tops or Wegmans. The prices are very reasonable (compared to Whole Foods) and I know I'm directly supporting an awesome locally owned business. Plus, the food is delicious, so it's a no brainier in my book. My most recent trip was for vegan holiday stocking stuffers and there were sooo many great options: bath soaps, flavored lip balms, chocolates, candies, gums, mints, even Advent calendars! We've picked up plenty of other delicious treats here too: Wicked Joe organic coffees, Violife cheeses, Elmhurst milks, Vegan Rob's cheddar puffs, Louisville Jerky, Field Roast & Gardein products... Basically everything vegans dream about! Even if don't follow a vegan diet, you should definitely check this place out, you might find your new favorite snack, coffee creamer or bath product. The owners are so friendly, helpful and always recommended and share tasty new products! read more

I love The Vegan Grocery Store. It's family run which is super awesome and they're always so friendly when I come in. It's so nice to be able to walk into a grocery store and not have to check the labels for once. They offer a lot of products that are hard to find or just not sold anywhere close to Buffalo. They have a lot of staples like broths/bullion stocks, sauces, vegan proteins and then all the good junk food vegan stuff like pizzas, candy, ice cream along with a coffee bar behind the register. You'll also find a small section of handmade soaps, some household cleaners and pet food too. The pricing is really fair and on par with other grocers who carry some of the same items. I love that they are always open to suggestions on new items or brands to carry. They really listen to their customers! Whenever possible, I always shop here first instead of going to wegmans because I think it's important to support small businesses, especially during covid. read more

The Vegan Grocery Store - A cute nook! - Grocery Near Me - North Tonawanda, New York

What an awesome store! I'm not 100% vegan but I love to make vegan choices as often as i can. This store has way more stuff than you'll find in a normal grocery store. I was able to try the vegan cracklins (amazing! ) and vegan shrimp which I've been looking for. They also have many more flavors of the So Delicious ice cream. Then after shopping i was able to get a beverage at their little coffee shop. I got the lavender lemonade which was so refreshing and perfect for the summer. My friend got the iced chai tea and it was one of the best chai teas we've ever had. read more

I also love going to this store when I'm in town. The owners are chill and have a lot of knowledge of their products. I go there every time I'm in north Tonawanda.I wish they had a store in Amherst but I like the location and atmosphere. read more

I finally stopped in after driving by several times. I was welcomed by a very nice woman who after thinking about it might be the owner. She was very sweet and acknowledged that even though I'm not 100% vegan yet, I'm making an impact. It was nice to hear because I sometimes get looks or snarls from people when they find out I'm not quite there yet. Anyway, this grocery store is very cute and cozy. There's a great selection from savory to sweet displayed on beautiful handmade shelves. To my surprise there are a lot of different brands and items I haven't heard of. I only left with a couple things but with the fair pricing, selection, and delightful service I will be returning soon! read more

Great selection of vegan foods that are oftentimes hard to find elsewhere. Very fair prices, clean little shop and friendly staff. Love the seasonal products and that they're instagram savvy so I know about the new stuff. Along with my old favorites I've discovered many new yummies here! read more

Love the place! Sorta making a return at least once a week or two. They are small stores, but tons of options! I don't have to check whether this or that is vegan. It's nice for a change and the workers there are sweet and caring people I've met! Love the place! Definitely recommended and always looking forward to see new things! read more

Small local shop that is working on expanding. Great for vegan groceries! They carry an amazing vegan ice cream that ISNT coconut based! Definitely a little gem of the area. Perfect for visiting vegans to shop and stock up for meals for the whole trip! The staff was so friendly I wish there was one of these local to our home because I would live in it! Little expensive but vegan products tend to be so who can blame them. read more

Wow! We went when they first opened. Very receptive to suggestions, and constantly getting in new items weekly. Staff was friendly, and prices are fair. I would highly recommend shopping here. read more

What a lovely store! They carry a great variety of excellent products at good prices. I was pleasantly surprised to find several things I've previously had to order online because no store in the area carried them. The store is very clean and well-organized and the proprietors are exceptionally friendly, helpful, knowledgeable, and professional. Truly a wonderful addition to the WNY business community. Highly recommended for vegans and non-vegans alike -- delicious foods and other high quality products can benefit everyone. read more

Woman, owner I believe, was acting very rude immediately once we entered the store. She was condescending and passive aggressive for the duration of my visit. I decided to check the place out and support local business but she was a very rude woman. I hesitated in even writing this review because I figured she'd run the store into the ground by the time I could finish writing this. read more

Came from Toronto to support this fab little vegan shop. The owners are the most lovely people you'll ever meet. Great selection.
