Food co-op stocking a large selection of local organic produce and nutritional supplements, plus has bakery with vegan cupcakes and cookies, meat-, dairy-, and egg-alternative foods. Open Mon-Sun 8:00am-9:00pm.
I love visiting this store every time I'm in town! They have a nice variety of fresh produce, organic and vegan products. This time I was specifically looking for a vegan cake, because we were attending a wedding. My child was super excited and wanted to have wedding cake like everyone else, but was sad it contained cows milk and asked if we could look for an alternative. New Pioneer is awesome!! We found the most delicious slice of chocolate cake, just the right size for us to share. We also purchased vegan peanut butter bars, chocolate chip and oatmeal cookies, and a cute carrot shaped bath bomb. I only wish we had more time in town to explore and purchase more!
The staff is always super friendly too. I asked for a business card to put in my child's memory book and the cashier also gave us a cute sticker. I know some people might think, what's the big deal.. it's just a sticker. But her kindness, enthusiasm, cheerful attitude and big smile truly brightened up my day.
Sometimes being vegan is a challenge, misunderstood, or even made fun of. Not at New Pioneer. They always make you feel welcome and right at home. I'm looking forward to visiting again the next time we're in CR!
this grab and go sandwhich they make is incredible. it has a house made cashew jalapeño spread on sourdough with veggies and spinach and red onion ✨ their fresh baked sourdough AND vegan chocolate chip cookies are drool-worthy. the grocery shop also has a large variety of vegan options. more expansive than other places, but they also offer 10% off all purchases for folx using SNAP/WIC benefits. and the staff are so friendly. cute community space just to stop in and have coffee (and that cookie) in their cafe area.
Great options from the deli and cold case! When you're in a Hurry, but want to be healthy this is the spot for you! They have a nice salad bar, soups, sushi, wraps sandwiches etc.
