Great quality foods for cooking vegan - Edit
Welcomed by a warm environment with so many products. There they basically have everything from food to makeup. A lot is organic and vegan. Literally like the only nutritional yeast in KL.

Mostly vegan bulk food and zero waste store - Edit
Wonderful zero waste shop that offers a large range of bulk goods: grains, legumes, nuts, seeds, dried fruit, pasta, spices etc. Noteworthy bulk product: nutritional yeast!
Read moreMost cosmetic and laundry products are vegan, some items contains beeswax (just ask/check the ingredients list). Products such as shampoo and laundry detergent can also be bought in bulk (reusable containers are available but most folks bring their own).
Other items include: sanitary products (washable pads and menstrual cups); toothbrushes; mugs; bamboo, metal and glass straws; a range of locally crafted items (shopping bags etc.); locally grown kale (from Pluckedveg.com) which is delivered in bundles weekly but you can call ahead to reserve or preorder from the supplier to collect at the Hive; other fresh items sometimes include locally made sourdough bread, and nitro cold brewed coffee which can be enjoyed as you shop (or bring/buy as reusable cup and take it away).
Regular zero waste themed workshops frequently take place here - details can be found on the Hive Bulk Foods Facebook page.
Pros: Bulk nutritional yeast!, Great selection of bulk items , Lovely, helpful staff
Cons: Not all products are vegan

INCREDIBLE - Edit

The shops is spacious and the guys who work there are lovely and very helpful if you have any questions. If I lived in KL this would be my local :) and the area is really cool too

An idea that benefits us all - Edit
The Hive background seems to be something that is truly missing in food shops (and mentalities...) around the world: as little waste as possible, aiming for zero.
Read moreYou should bring your own jars/bags/whatever you use to stow food (they do have some paper bags available if you forget) to keep what you buy - there is a lot of seeds, nuts, even salt, all sold by weight (bulk) which is a lot more economic.
Another part of the shop focuses on supporting projects that have a social background, selling their products at the Hive (felt vases from Burma, Jams, shea butter,...).
It is truly a fantastic project that deserves such high praise.
Congratulations!
