Boş çeşit

Küçük ama bol çeşitli. Sahibi çok eski vegan. Açıklama yapmaya veganlığı yaymaya çok hevesli. Ürünlerle ilgili bolca bilgi alabilirsiniz. Yalnızca bu pazardan para kazanmak için değil vegan olduğu için vegan ürünler satıyor.

Pros: Güler yüz, Bol çeşit

Love this place

I’ve ordered tons of things from here—their cashew yogurt is extraordinary, they carry nutritional yeast and offer various vegan protein options. Super cute store in Istanbul, too.

Great vegan health store

In this store, everything is vegan, and you can find various types of food products, supplements and cosmetics.

I bought a hazelnut flavoured vegan and cruelty-free lip balm and it's great.

Pros: All vegan health store

Cons: An uphill walk is required to get there

Overpriced

This tiny place has a good variety of vegan products the staff is great but the problem is it's overly priced.
Some of the stuff like the supplements are 3X the price compared to buying from online.

All the vegan perks at a price

Cute small shop, extremely helpful and nice owner, it has all the supplements, body care products, (super foods), cheese, meats, grains. To me most of what's in there is unnecessary for a vegan lifestyle, but more like a treat. I got a really tasty parmesan cheese from there and Bi Nevi Deli's delish smoked Temphe.

Small but great.

Although small it has a decent selection of purely 100% vegan items. I was really excited to find some handmade fermented cheeses and yogurts here. Definitely worth a visit.

Cozy shop with great assortment

Nice shop with great range of vegan cheeses and other products. Absolutely loved aged cashew cheese, amazing ice-cream and best kombucha I have ever tried. Friendly stuff and fine prices. In perfect world each vegan should have such local supermarket in the area. Thank you!

Pros: Big choice, Cozy and comfortable , Tasty and high quality products

Tiny shop with vegan stuff

The size of the shop kinda represents how vegan lifestyle is popular here. It’s tiiiiiiny. There’s no prices for stuff they sell. I don’t like that. Yes, it make us to communicate with a seller, but I don’t think it’s a right way. Thankfully the owner speaks English. The price for everything is quite high. I’d say it’s higher than in Europe. 100g local cookies about 5 €

Pros: Some stuff you can’t find in a supermarket

Cons: Too expensive , Tiny, maybe would be better to have another loc-n, No prices on a products

Nice little vegan shop close to Taksim

Really nice that Istanbul has something like this! It's really tiny and mainly focused on makeup and body hygiene products, but has a small selection of food as well. Most indeed isn't priced, like prior reviews mention, which is a point of possible improvement.

Extra bonus points for the 3 friendly cats though!

Prices not marked

The selection was okay (a mix of food, household, and personal items) but I only found one item with its price listed in the whole store!

Support the growth of veganism in Istanbul!

Brave little shop which is also well-located for tourists. It's fantastic that veganism is growing in Turkey and businesses like these are brave pioneers. My favourite thing from here is the pea protein mince which is a nice alternative to soya. As a local you can also buy gluten flour to make your own seitan.

Great Service!

I'm currently living in the east side of Turkey, and use this place from time to time. It has great diversity of vegan products and I love the boxing of my order.

Pros: Diversity of Products

Cons: Maybe More Desserts
