Nicht schön

Auswahl nicht sehr gut und nicht schön. Geht lieber in das vegane Restaurant neben an, daher kann man auch gute Sachen kaufen

Decent

Not much selection of produce. Shelf stuff was very expensive. Glad to find some options while I am here, but the price is like a convenience store

Pros: Decent selection of groceries, Perfect avocados

Cons: Expensive, Produce wasn't great

It was fine

There were plant milks but I was expecting more. The store isn’t very big, and it seemed like it was more of a liquor store lol. The regular grocery store that is on the same street? had more options on certain things like vegan cheese, so I recommend going there after! There wasn’t vegan cheese, mayo, or meat substitutes here when I came. They did have kettle chips, natural jam, and ice cream though!

Pretty good

We found soy milk here, as well as Costa Rican vegan ice cream and kombucha. What we didn’t find: produce! We were hoping for local produce, and their selection was quite small. Also bummed by no peanut butter without added oils and sugar (they had Jif. Bleh.)

Pros: Soy milk!, Ice cream!, Kombucha

Cons: No produce

So so expensive

I think costa rica has one of the most expensive supermarkets worldwide, and the quality is not even worth it, beer apart. I tried the vegan ice-cream, nothing special. It can be improved tho; something like $7 for the "big" cup. Just crazy. Almost all the rest is imported and insanely expensive.

Cons: Expensive, Mid quality

Good for specific diet/ health needs

Good spot for someone with gluten issues like celiacs to get special items, but otherwise stick to the regular supermercato and farmers market

Updated from previous review on 2022-04-11

Pros: Good if you have dietary health issue

Nothing special

I honestly didn’t see very many differences in this market compared to other markets here. There was not a section of vegan items. There was a small cooler of 1 brand of vegan ice cream that was good. But it was cheaper to just freeze some bananas and make nice cream with the blender at out Airbnb. There was a large area for gluten free items which wasn’t helpful for vegans. We did find some accidentally vegan, gluten free chocolate chip cookies and they were like cardboard. We did come in October which is the slow season so maybe they only have items when it’s tourist season?

Not many vegan options

Not much of a vegan selection, you can find many more vegan items in other local supermarkets such as BM supermercado. The kombuchas I bought were a bit off, didn’t taste right.

Ouvert mais souffre de la crise...

Le supermarché bio est ouvert mais l'entrée se fait via le magasin de liqueur. Ilq vendent quelques produits secs, des céréales, du quinoa, du tahin, qlq produits de beauté et qlq légumes mais plus de frais ou de surgelés (et donc plus de glace Vegan 😭). Les rayons devraient se remplir quand la crise sera passée... La vendeuse est très sympa 🙂

Amazing vegan options!

Best place in the area for organic produce.
Also offers some vegan cheeses, ice cream and fake meat.
Just a little tip: if you’re looking for a non dairy milk, look for it in the front of the store! Saved us 3000 colones opposed to the ones sold in the ‘organic’-section.

Best place in the area for vegan groceries!

They carry lots of hard to find vegan groceries here like the vegan egg, vegan cheese, vegan ice cream and many other organic and vegan staples.

Organic department in a „normal“ supermarket

This vegan department provides you with good food, cosmetic and more. Has also vegan cheese.

My new happy place

I was so happy to find this place. They have all the basics a vegan could ask for. Isis was super helpful and accommodating.

Pros: Lots of vegan options, Friendly staff, Great range natural toiletries
