great range cruelty free - Edit
Vegan food but also other products you might need including bags, shoes etc. It's expensive but that's how cruelty free goes. Very helpful staff and good range of products. Also with online store. I've bought a lot of stuff here

All vegan shop! - Edit
The Cruelty Free Shop has a lot of products, all 100% vegan. I'd say it's more interesting regarding house products, make up/skin care, shoes / bags/wallets and chocolate section than the food itself (though it also has some interesting items). I would add a small veggie fruits section!
Read morePros: great range of skin care
Cons: no fruits or vegetables

Useful shop...but pricey - Edit
A wide selection of vegan items - and not just food. I was pleasantly surprised to find vegan items I hadn't found elsewhere. However, I've been to much better stores in Europe (Berlin, Prague, Vienna) and they have a big difference - they are much cheaper ! The prices here are for very wealthy vegans.
Read morePros: Good range
Cons: The prices - so high !

Expensive to shop online - Edit
I love the range of delicious vegan foods on offer, I don't live in Sydney so have to shop online. I've never had a problem with the service, fast to dispatch and great courier service, fast. The only problem is, it is quite expensive. I can't afford to place an order too often as the total cost of shipping for me is $17. This includes a cold pack and ice costing $5, on top of the $12 shipping. No other online vegan store charges for ice and packing. A popular item has had a price rise from $12.50 to $13.65, when all other items, seemingly less popular in this brand are $12.50. It's hard being veg in Australia, it's even harder when buying and shopping online is out of reach for many people on a budget. I find it frustrating that when shipping costs are so high I can almost never place a full order of everything I want. At any given time a wide range of popular items are out of stock, meaning I have to constantly try to wait till everything I want is in stock at the same time in order to avoid excessive postage costs. This almost never happens.
Read moreI love the food, service is great, but the postage and product prices are high meaning I consider shopping here a luxury indulgence I can only consider a few times at most during a year.

Great range - Edit
Great range of vegan foods although seemed to cater more for wannabe carnivores with vegan ethics than for people who enjoy a plant based vegan diet ...lots of strange processed mock meats and vegan fish alternatives

Love this place :) - Edit
Delighted to find this place appeared since I was last in Sydney. I shopped for gifts for my vegan friends and treats for my vegan boyfriend. He seriously loves the Apricot and Plum Royales - apricots and plums with liquor in chocolate. Some of the hard to find American products like Tofurky etc are available, McDougall products, and much more. There's also some great books, such Ruby Roth's books for children. I recommend stopping by for a browse and grabbing something to eat at Iku just down the street while you're at it!
Read morePros: dedicated vegan store, hard to find products, friendly staff

LOVE their online store! - Edit
Cruelty Free shop has been instrumental in helping me transition to veganism. The staff are amazing and knowledgeable and wonderful to deal with. They have a fantastic range of products and some great info on their website, including some great recipes. I love the newsletter as well and have found out about some great veggie events that way. :)

They have it all - Edit
So happy these guys opened this in Glebe. I was a customer of their online store for many years. I live an hours drive away so I usually visit duringa week day so guaranteed a close parking spot.
Read moreThe range is extensive. So many things to choose from. They even sell vegan wears items and beautiful handbags. I always stock up on notzarella, Linda Mac pies and Mac n Cheeze when we go. Prices are what they are. .. But anyone who buys vegan products knows this is what to expect. They are certainly fair in in eyes. I love supporting this great.
Pros: huge range, beautiful staff, vegan business
Cons: parking on a weekend

Nice to know it's there - Edit
Staples are very expensive, probably through no fault of the owners, but I can't afford to shop there. Lots of confectionary, friendly staff.

Sydney vegan dreams have officially come true. - Edit
What can I say.. The Cruelty Free Shop, which has been a fabulously friendly & reliable source of vegan grocery & personal needs, has launched a shop front!!!! It's a very exciting moment & I can say their personality really shines through when you visit.. the staff are relaxed & helpful & not at all pretentious. If you're big on cooking you'll be in heaven with the huge assortment of vegan pantry items --even vegan pesto. & if you have a sweet tooth watch out, this place truly makes you feel like a kid in a candy store with vegan versions of Smores, Ice Cream Sandwiches & Violet Crumbles waaaahhh!!! Don't say I didn't warn you! ;)
Read morePros: Floor to ceiling variety., Helpful (&cute) staff., Vegan everything
Cons: Too much delicious temptation.
