The all-vegan grocer on Garnet Lane

Stacked at six. Gone by lunch.

Forty crates land on our tiles before sunrise. Soil-on carrots, blood oranges, oyster mushrooms picked eight hours ago. Everything in the shop happens to be vegan. You do not have to be.

Open 7 days, from 7am

Deli counter hot from 7

Walk the hall

Six departments, one cold counter

No aisles of filler, no trolley maze. Six corners of the hall, each run by someone who tastes what they buy.

The Produce Wall

40 crates a morning

Stacked by 6am, straight off the growers' vans. The soil stays on because scrubbed roots go soft a week faster.

The Cheese Cave

80+ cultured wheels

Cashew bloomy rinds, aged almond blues, smoked coconut cheddars. Ask for a taste before you commit to a wedge.

The Cold Case

120+ chilled staples

Every milk worth pouring, cultured butters, fresh pasta, and the tofu that arrives the morning it was pressed.

The Bulk Wall

90+ gravity bins

Bring your jars or grab ours. Grains, pulses, nuts and spices weighed on the zinc scale, priced by the gram.

The Bakery Shelf

Landed by 7, gone by 10

Sourdough from The Night Oven, pastry from the deli ovens out back. Saturday is cardamom knot day. Come early.

The Local Shelf

19 makers, one shelf

Small-batch ferments, hot sauce and preserves from makers within an hour of the shop. The shelf pays them first.

The deli counter

Hot from seven. Sandwiches from eleven.

The temperature drops when you reach the counter. Behind the glass: house-made salads, marinated things on trays, and the sandwiches this street queues for.

The honesty board

Staples, checked against the big chains

Curation is not markup. Once a month we walk a basket of staples through the two biggest chains and print the result on the board. When we lose a line, we print that too.

The growers

Who grew your dinner

Three of the nineteen farms and workshops on the sheet this season. Names on every ticket, because you should know whose soil is on the carrots.
