I can't believe nobody has reviewed this shop yet. It is so good, for so many reasons. Here are just a few:

1. It's the first place I ever found Rachel's thick greek-style coconut yoghurt. If you aren't already a convert, go and try some - it's the best thing ever. (You can get it in Sainsbury's now, but you couldn't back then.)

2. Every single thing they sell is organic and totally virtuous. You practically feel like a saint when shopping there. Organic meats, soya, beauty products, tampons. Even the wine. Of course that makes it expensive, but when you feel like you deserve a knighthood for shopping there, who cares?

3. They sell lovely cereals, dried fruit, nuts and muesli by weight, so there's less extra packaging. They've thought of everything!

4. They stock a great selection of alternative remedies (let's not get into whether you think homeopathy is a pile of bunk or not), some of which are very hard to find outside of Neal's Yard and the like.

5. Their beauty products are ace! I love the Weleda and Jaason ranges, and I continue to aspire to Dr. Hauschka.

And if that's not enough, it's never busy, there are never any queues, and the staff are super-friendly. Yes, it's expensive. But somehow, a till receipt that would cause a heart attack in Tesco never seems to raise an eyebrow in this place. Maybe all that healthiness is a calming influence. Try it and see what you think.

It's a fun place. I bought a mushroom log there. But sadly no mushrooms have sprouted!!!
