Great prices and discounts!

Seeing organic coarse cut oats for a fraction of the price in London I decided to buy two kilos worth. I also found a delightful carob fridge cake which I loved! Finding vegan carob products in London is incredibly hard so I was surprised and delighted to find something so tasty here. The shop is small but well laid out and varied it’s also aesthetically pleasing. Staff I spoke to was inquisitive about the products I bought which was nice. Overall a really pleasant experience and should I be back in Oxford I will stock up!

Pros: Almost exclusively Vegan , Great prices and friendly staff, Good stock variation.

Uhuru - asset for Oxford

Very good quality foodstuffs and no pricey, silly frills. The staff are reserved - perhaps shy? - initially but could not be nicer, more friendly and helpful once you approach them. Highly reccommended.

A Nice Shop

Popped in to have a quick look. It was ok. There are a lot of vegan options. For example mac&cheese, lasagna, burgers, cheeses and similar stuff. Bought violife cheese and was satisfied with it. The staff were not that friendly but they also were ok. All in all it is a good place for vegans, vegetarians or health concious humans.

Pros: Vegan Options, Healthy Food

Cons: Pricey

Uhuru - Oxford Warriors

So happy that "Uhuru" is still open & selling great food / ingredients / other fun things. Read & re-read their booklets back in 1977. Hitchhiked to visit them in 1978. Bought multiple copies & presented them to friends. Thank you "Uhuru". A great place with a long history of educating seekers & promoting kindness to all creatures!

great soups and good range of products

Good range of products. Delicious, hearty, vegan soups: red lentil and vegetable; spicy black bean and vegetable. I also had a (cold) spicy bean pasty (vegan).

Pros: vegan soups, vegan treats

Uhuru's Great!

I often visit Uhuru on my way back from work to pick up vegan staples, soya milk, desserts, Realeat, Suma peanut butter, etc etc, they've got a good selection and while not as cheap as Holland & Barrett they're not that steep and have some interesting stock.

They have an tasty array of fresh 'ready meals' - bean curries - that sort of thing produced by Laura's kitchen.

Mostly though I enjoy their home made vegan pasties; spring rolls, pakoras and especially the big slabs of chocolate coconut flapjack (mentioned by another reviewer).

Thanks Uhuru!

Friendly and helpful staff, try to avoid busy times like lunchtime if you want special attention. They sell a selection of healthy snacks like bean salads, pastries, and hot soup.

Uhuru has a long tradition in Oxford and caters for vegans all year long while other places are happy to reduce or even remove their vegan selection to put on display seasonal items such as those for Halloween or Christmas.

Things might be a bit more expensive than in Holland and Barrett or Tesco and Sainsbury's but you can be sure to find more variety and better attention in this independent shop than in big-chain supermarkets.

Pros: healthy, organic, friendly

Great find

I was excited to find a vegan pastry in Oxford while on vacation from the U.S. I had a delicious coconut chocolate flapjack, as it's called. I highly recommend this store for a vegan/organic alternative to the traditional grocery store.

Pros: vegan pastries, friendly staff

Cons: small selection, no place to sit
