FYI: £5 minimum for card. 10% student discount!
What's with the 3.5 stars for Alara peeps? This place is lovely and filled with everything you would need in a household. Skin care, shampoo, soaps, groceries, spices, drinks, candies etc.. Anything organic that you can't find in the obnoxious The Grocery in Shoreditch you can find here.
No complains other than the horrible pharmaceutical fluorescent lighting surround the awkward store layout. -

Great variety of organic products! Especially for hair and beauty. I came in looking for gluten free bars and unfortunately wasn't able to find any Lara bars or the other ones I was looking for. However, I ended up choosing this brand called bar9 and I absolutely love it! It's so filling and super delicious. Only 1£ per bar and even better with the 10% student discount! Just make sure your card has an expiration date on it or have some kind of proof to show you still are a student. I saw the lunch cafe and the food looked pretty good

Having just come from Alara having spent 20 quid on some vegetarian/vegan food (sausages, vegetable roasts, pesto, soap etc). However my overall opinion, after having used the shop on many, many occasions over the years, is that the staff at the tills don't enjoy serving customers. In fact they act as though they would rather be anywhere else God forbid that they actually have to engage or look at the people they are serving. Unfortunately, it's not a one-off. I shop local to support businesses like this, but now I am going to look into getting my wholefood supplies
online instead. On a positive note the range of products is generally broad, and cafe is it's nice to sit outside in the summer. -

Very cool health food shop with lots of vegan meals available. We pretty much visited here every day to stock up on various things which was very handy! It is abit pricey, but vegan things usually are... I wouldn't recommend buying the "alara" brand raw food as they are extremely bland and not tasty at all like other raw foods can be. I do recommend checking the fridge for premade meals such as the curry or bean mix, and the raw sandwich and raw brownie are superb. The staff are friendly and if you have a student card then bring it for 10% off!!
