World’s largest vegan grocery store

HUGE news coming out of Australia today.

I previously posted about The Cruelty Free Shop, an Australian grocery store chain with outlets in Brisbane, Sydney, Canberra and Melbourne as well as online shopping. You can see that post here.

The big development today is that the Melbourne store has relocated to a site which the owner claims makes it the largest vegan grocery store on the planet.

The Cruelty Free Shop website says of the launch:

We’re pleased to announce that we are opening the biggest vegan shop in the world in Melbourne on Wednesday 12 April 2017.

Our new store will have more than 3500 different vegan products with all sorts of foods including 50+ vegan cheeses, as well as fashion, cosmetics, coffee, cake, hot pies, fruit & veg, and more.

From humble beginnings, the Cruelty Free Shop started as an online store based out of Jessica Bailey’s spare room in Sydney. We now have five stores across Australia and the widest range of vegan products in the country.

Our Melbourne store has also grown over the years and it’s now bursting at the steams at its current location so we are moving it around the corner to 124 Johnston Street, Fitzroy (just a five minute walk or two minute drive from the current location).

Be sure to visit our new store to check out the 1000+ amazing new items we’ll have in stock, grab a coffee, view the Edgar’s Mission photo gallery and stock up on all the very best vegan products from local, Australian and international businesses. Every Saturday we also have free food tastings of delicious new products and old favourites.

Thank you to all our wonderful customers who have made this possible and supported us over the past 15 years.

Wow.

More than 3,500 products certainly puts this up their as the largest vegan store of which I know.

You should follow Cruelty Free Shop on Facebook, Instagram and Twitter no matter where you live in the world and take the time to wish them continued success.

Vegan mylkbar in Melbourne!

Holy Matcha, Batman!

Matcha Mylkbar – 72A ACLAND STREET (CORNER CARLISLE ST), ST KILDA

This pun-tastic little plant based restaurant opened about two months ago and I’ve been way too excited about trying it. After showing a couple of my non-vegan workmates the menu, they were sold (mostly on the vegan eggs… but still!) and I had two cohorts roped in to help me try this super-intriguing menu.

Quite frankly, none of us were disappointed by the experience!

The extensive range of lattes alone in this establishment is truly breathtaking to a local Melbournite. We do love our coffee! And, by gum (yes, I really did just say that) the Apple Pie Latte tastes like apple pie, the Cacao Latte tastes like hot chocolate from your childhood and the Mushroom Latte is sweeter than you’d imagine.

Located on the busy corner of Acland Street, it’s no surprise that the lunch rush fills the restaurant space from wall to wall, but with a menu this out of the world it’s absolutely worth trying to get a table for it.

With comments from my lunch guests like “It’s so Heston-esque!” and “MmmmmmmmmmmMmmmm”, this is one place I’ll be headed back to very soon!
