Not bad but not fantastic either

The most expensive local grocery/health store chain in the area next to better health. However, plenty of vegan options throughout the store. The only part of the store lacking vegan options is the hot prepared food counter. The self serve hot food bar generally has options tho. But beware of the vegan and vegetarian labeling! They use V and VG but only VG is vegan if i remember correctly. Confusing for me and learned the hard way with the self serve prepared food bars. The selection they have in general is good and the food they make is tasty, i just rarely go because of their high prices.

Pros: Has some hard to find vegan options like ravioli, Lots of vegan sweets & desserts, Locally sources a lot

Cons: One of the most expensive local grocery chains, Snooty rich shoppers, Cramped for space

Vegetarians Beware

If you are a vegetarian you should stay far away from any prepared item made at Plum Market. The cabbage soup which was labeled as vegan was actually made with a tomato sauce that had anchovies (fish ) in it. A staff member confided this to me and then I verified that it was true with the chef and the manager. They told me that they were going to switch tomato sauces, but my insider at Plum tells me that they are still using the same sauce with fish and labeling the soup as being vegan. I was told by this staff member at Plum that this happens a lot. She told me that if you are a vegetarian that you should not be eating here. I advise any vegetarians and vegans to do the same.

Pros: fresh produce

Cons: mis-labeling, over priced

For groceries only

Decent for grocery shopping, they can have some good sales. This is a new chain, that is basically copying Whole Foods. What is really funny is that the family that owns Plum Market is the family that owned the Merhcant of Vino's stores, which were bought out by Whole Foods several years ago. You'll find most vegetarian and vegan grocery and household items that you would at Whole Foods, but Plum Market fails to offer vegan options in their deli and prepared foods departments. Not worth a special trip unless you are really hell bent on not spending your money at Whole Foods.

Pros: large store, great produce selection, good sales

Cons: pricey, deli not vegan friendly
