Whole Foods-like Store

Healthy Options is stocked with US vegan and organic products.

After traveling in Asia for 5 months, I really enjoyed seeing and purchasing some foods form back home. It’s very pricey but most of these products you won’t find elsewhere.

Great for purchasing snacks, supplements, and dried and frozen foods.

If your missing WholeFoods come here!

Was shocked to see their vast selection of vegan goodies! A great place to stock up for the rest of the islands. A littly pricey but worth it if your missing western comfort snacks or need non chemical toiletries. Note that its located in the new section of the mall - had to ask a few people where to find it

love this place

I love going to this place, it has a decent variety of vegan items and healthy items. I found this store before I decided to become vegan and have enjoyed it.

Cons: Can be expensive

Many good products, but need to read the ingredients first!

The most important shop I found in Cebu for organic and vegan products, but the shop is not at all vegan, so read the ingredients carefully. It looks expensive for the Philippines, although the price of the products are faire regarding their quality, in an international point of view.

Pros: Many organic and vegan products, Friendly staff, Well organised, very clean and attractive

Cons: Chicken and other animal products are sold, Price slightly high for the Philippines

Little paradise

After traveling the Philippines and stopping by in Cebu City for our flight back I found this store on HappyCow and it's like a Mecca if you search for "healthy options". I was craving chlorella and finally found it there! Thank you! It's also directly located inside a mall 3rd floor I think. The mall is really impressing so best try to ask someone where it is, if you don't wanna run around for hours.

great vegan snacks and essentials

Stopped in Cebu city on our visit to the Philippines and was relieved to find a shop like this where we could stock up on vegan snacks such as protein and energy bars, chocolate and sweets, crisps and biscuits and cereals. Also sells items such as tofu, vegan cheese and plant milks. A little expensive but some good products can be found.

Pros: vegan snacks and treats, imported items

Cons: expensive

Awesome Place!

This store was amazingly and surprisingly well stocked with all kinds of goodies that I haven't seen anywhere else in Asia. A full aisle of plant milks, tons of vegan snacks, and many other things. They also carry tons of ingredients for people who might like to prepare good.

The staff was extraordinarily helpful when I asked them to help me find a place for dinner (because everything on the HappyCow map is out of business). They directed me to the Persian Palate, also located in the mall on the same floor, where there were tons of options.

Pros: Huge Stock, Amazing Staff, Delicious Goodies

One-Stop Shop

The store looks posh from the outside and it could be intimidating to get in if your on a tight budget. But its one of the very few stores in the metro that is vegan-sensitive so you have to go check it out.

Inside, the items were stacked and is categorized efficiently. I was just checking on random items from supplements, seeds, healthsnacks, non-dairy milks, organic shampoos and soaps and even reference books. It's a haven to everyone that is into the lifestyle.
Being curious to everything that is available, a staff came to me and asked what I was looking for which to me was a nice gesture. I asked for a certain Earth Balance item and she seemed to be knowledgeable about it.
I ended up buying a Vance DariFree Milk and Bob's Red Mill Vegi and went home with excitement. BTW, I learned from the counter that they'll give a membership card for a single purchase of php3000. You have to go check the store out. Word of advice? Understand the reasons that made a product pricey. Is it imported? Rare? Employee-owned? Or simply just monopolized,etc. You may have to check some of the items sold inside Healthy Options if its available on a regular supermarket for comparisons.

Pros: Hard to find items, Reference books

Cons: Pricey for average earners, Too posh

Well Stocked Store

pretty good stock of supplements and health food items with some vegetarian/vegan necessities for me such as nutritional yeast and flax seed. It is a medium sized well stocked store, compared to other Healthy Options in the Philippines.

But they carry everything from organic peanut butter, snacks, organic juices, Bob's Red Mill organic line, organic toiletries. No frozen items.

Pros: good location, hard to find items, organics

Cons: pricey, vegan snacks
