Avoid this Store - Fernanda has social issues - Edit
avoid this store. When Fernanda works there, there is always trouble. She is anti-social and acts absolutely unfriendly. She is screaming at her customers for every little reason in Corona Times. Very Sad experience. Better to replace your workers. We will not come back to unfriendly stores likes your.
Read morePros: Sells Organic Products, Anti-Social Server, Stressing Customers
Cons: Sells Meat, Unfriendly Service , Stuff has issues

I have to disagree! I have been going there for years and Fernanda is nothing but extremely friendly!
Read moreI have never witnessed her being rude or unpleasant, she is always very nice.
I go there at least twice a week and find it unfortunate that you make such a statement that is clearly not true.

We are very sorry for your disappointment and we would normally thank You for Your comment. But we will not do so in this particular case. We would like to note that You have been consistently disregarding the behaviour that all citizens living in Portugal are requested to adopt by law and, in doing so, Fernanda, Pedro and Ana, all staff members that have already attended to You at Mercearia Bio Café, have repeatedly requested for You to use your mask as the Portuguese Authorities demand. There is also a limit of 3 Customers simultaneously inside the store, the fact that they belong to the same Family or group of people does not change the limit. Not only you do consistently disregard this requisite, but You also feel that we all should share your points of view about the Pandemia we are currently facing. Regardless of what our beliefs or opinions are, we work in a store that in order to keep open has to comply with the law, namely the Health Authorities regulations. If You do not agree with them please note that we will keep on applying these rules among our staff and Dear Visitors. You will always be welcome to our store, regardless of who is attending, Rui, Fernanda, Pedro or Ana, as long as You follow the rules. One thing the Pandemia will not change is the friendly way in which we attend to our Visitors and Dear Customers. We will be looking forward to welcoming You back!

Great selection and good cafe too. - Edit
This store has a good selection of both fresh and long-life ingredients. Things like turmeric, miso and tahini aren't always easy to find in the Algarve so it's a good place to know! I had an oat milk latte and it was delicious. The people working there today were lovely. Although I tried to speak in Portuguese, they offered to chat in English to be sure I could find what I wanted. The store is very well laid out, spotless and it has good seating. They'd have 5 stars if they only stocked vegan or vegetarian supplies and cafe menu items. Great spot!
Read morePros: Great selection of goods. , Lots of plant milk options for fresh drinks, Vegan and vegetarian cafe menu items inc sweets
Cons: Not fully vegetarian or vegan.

Nice store with lunchroom with a lot of gf products. - Edit
We had salads, juice of the day and energy balls. Since the carrots were pré chopped, they lost a bit freshness. Over all the salad was richly filled with veggies and goji’s. The energyballs and juices were delicious
Read morePros: Nice to combine grocery’s and lunch, Lovely and helpful staff
Cons: Pré chopped veggies

Shop with some food options - Edit
Small shop where you can buy some fresh vegetables and fruits and little bistro with some vegetarian and vegan options (salads, sandwitches, wraps and cakes). The staff is ok, but sooooo slow! I waited for one take away order like 30 minutes and that was just some salad and wrap. The cappuccino was like 1 liter of volume, so if you are a true coffee lover, than do not order a coffee here😁Cakes were nice, so in general - as there are no better options aroud - I recommend this place.
Read morePros: vegan cakes and milk to coffee , shop with some vegan stuff
Cons: just few vegan options , quite pricy for the volume of food , very, very slow staff

Brunch vegan a repetir!!! - Edit
Fomos almoçar e experimentámos o brunch que era: sumo de fruta natural (pera, maçã e aipo- muito bom),
Read moreTorrada com pasta de sésamo e pasta de tâmara (excelente!), iogurte de soja com granola, quiche de tofu e legumes com salada, melancia e uma sobremesa tipo” bounty de coco”. Estava tudo óptimo! Adorámos! Ainda deu para comprar algumas coisas que nos faziam falta na loja! A repetir.
Pros: Comida saborosa, Preço acessivel, Serviço simpatico

Really disappointing - Edit
For vegetarians there was more choice but the only vegan thing on menu was a vegan cheese ‘toastie’. When it arrived, it was two very small pieces of stale bread with one slice of non melted vegan cheese. It took 20 minutes to arrive despite there being no one else in the cafe. I asked for it to be toasted. Over 10 minutes later it came back still not toasted. It was horrible. Really disappointing place. Only plus side is it has a shop that sells some vegan products.

I recommend! - Edit
Such a good store! Organic fruits, veggies, berries and all kinds of grains and groceries and dried fruit and plant milks and... ... unfortunately, animal products too. But so worth your while.
Read moreI prefer real big veggie dishes so the food is not my thing exactly but it is so nice to sit and have a juice or a coffee (great coffee, no surprice) and just hang out. And shop!
The staff is super nice and helpful.
Pros: The best grocery store , Best veggies fruits and berries, Beautiful cafe and delicious drinks
Cons: Animal products, I miss an abundant sallad that will satisfy you

Awesome Market/Cafe - Edit
I was so happy when I found this place. Not only do they have a large variety of products. They also have vegan daily meals. Sometimes their soups are vegan so always ask. Cool thing is that you can grab a soy cappuccino and work on their chairs. The staff is really nice, not sure if they are owners.

Modern Classic - Edit
Kerching!! this is a really modern and impressive organic store selling a superb range of vegetarian and vegan food products as well as fresh fruit and vegetables, wines, tea and coffee, health supplements, condiments, various types of olive oils, fruit juices, non dairy milk, confectionary, household cleaning products and toiletries. It does of course sell organic meat, so please be aware if planning to visit. There is a good selection of vegan mock meats such as seitan and smoked tofu at a decent price. What really impressed me was the outside seating where you can have a relaxing coffee and snack whilst enjoying the street atmosphere. They have gone to every effort to make the place appealing and also offer an extensive online presence. Good luck to this place, it deserves to do well.
Read morePros: modern, outside seating, good vegan range
Cons: meat
