Great place and helpful

2/04/2021 I have been back to the kynd butcher several times and their service and products are great. On Friday their food truck was open and I had sausage in a roll with coleslaw, chips and a lemon and mint drink. It was all really nice and great value. I then went to the shop and picked up some groceries. If I wasn’t walking home on a hot day, I would have got some of their sausages which I love.

I went on Saturday to see what the vegan butcher had. They had samples too which was useful. I ended up buying a couple of lentil burgers (which I had for lunch yesterday and they were delicious), I bought some tomato sausages and I asked about storing them as I wasn’t going to eat them immediately and the staff were really helpful. I also bought some tofurkey chicken to use in my lunch at work. They had a sample of this and as I’d never tried it, that was good. I bought a pud Christmas pudding which they were also selling.
They had some dips on offer too, and I tried a sample of the black olive tapenade which I’ll definitely be buying next time.
They have a few grocery items too. I love you can just pick and choose what you want and it isn’t a fixed amount.

Pros: Vegan, Lovely staff

Great locally owned vegan butcher

Kynd is a fantastic, locally owned vegan butcher. Conveniently located to pedestrians and always lots of street parking in front or nearby.

So many options and always looking to adjust and grow.

Pros: Knowledgeable, friendly, local owners, Large variety , Much more than mock meat

Worth a trip

Not as expensive as I imagined and worth supporting a little business. Loved the ability to taste test and everything I got was worth it

Great food but long waits!

The food here is delicious and if I shopped locally usually it would likely become a regular on my list. Two out of the three times I’ve visited here though I’ve waited ridiculously long to be served. 15-30mins despite there only being 1-2 groups ahead of me. The staff are really friendly which is nice but I think they need to start prioritising efficiency.

Pros: Good variety of food, Nice atmosphere, Wrapped in paper

Cons: Way way too long a wait to be served!

Hi Katherine, Thanks so much for your feedback. Our KYND little store often gets a build up of foot traffic and people travelling from all parts of Victoria to stock up on all of our vegan goodies. Sometimes big orders can take a little bit longer to process to ensure mistakes aren't made we like to take a little bit of extra time. We are so sorry for any inconvenience that this may have had on your experience with us. We can assure you our staff are always working to the best of their ability. Thanks you so much for coming into our store and we look forward to seeing you next time.

Great idea!

Loved the presentation of the shop and the tasters offered before you buy. We grabbed a bit of everything to try at home. Even our non vegan family members enjoyed the tastes.
Not living in Melbourne, the friendly staff recommended a few restaurants and cafes we could try while on holidays.
We know mock meat isn’t for everyone but it’s a welcome option and still better than meat.
We’ll be back for sure!

If mock is your thang

The KYND Butcher sells a reasonable selection of mock meats and cheeses and the store is well presented. An extra star for using paper to wrap purchases. I enjoyed a small herby sausage for dinner later that night but I found the schnitzel underwhelming.

I would like to see prices added to the products on display

Pros: All vegan, Paper used for purchases

Cons: No pricing in cabinet

Thanks for stopping by and for your KYND words. We are so sorry that you were unable to see the prices, we were in the process of ordering our labels and stands for the products. All of our products now have prices attached that are easy to read. Thanks again for stopping by.
