For vegans like myself, this place offers a wonderful selection of products that Superstore doesn't carry. Cheezly and Sheese make the best vegan cheese, and you won't find it at Superstore. Vegan marshmallows, another win for OEM, as well as Field Roast vegan grain meats (cooking with red wine makes them sublime)... chili flavoured hot chocolate... not to mention all the local Acadian Soy products, and the best vegan ice cream selections as well. I'm disappointed in Superstore consistently carrying the same flavours, mainly vanilla, chocolate, Neapolitan, and the odd flavour out (boring!). OEM has peanut butter swirl, mocha, mint, etc (the good stuff) available not only in coconut ice cream but rice and soy as well. The selection of seaweeds is second to none, Daiya cheddar mac & cheese is another wonderful treat. A very nice selection of Kombucha drinks was nice to see, I tried some new flavours I never knew existed as Superstore only carries a few. I was able to find vegan Halloween and Xmas treats at this store as well, which I much prefer than having to order online and wait 14 days for it to arrive from USA, as I've done before. I can get the dark, flavourful #3 maple syrup here, but can't at Superstore.

The pricing is a bit on the high end, which makes this store not my 'everyday' store, however I enjoy shopping here when I want to treat myself with the finest selection of vegan foods, and hard-to-find items. I'm also very impressed with the smoothie bar, which has very nice baked goods. I had banana bread and chocolate cookies from there which were delicious. I've never had a problem with the staff, and there has always been parking available whenever I've visited.

The only suggestions I have is I'd like to see them carry Tartex spreads again, I couldn't find it last time, and I'd also like to see level 2 charging stations (or CHADEMO if you want to go all-out) for electric cars, even if the charging is at cost and not complimentary. The electricity in Nova Scotia is produced from dirty coal but can be insured with Bullfrog for a clean footprint. It's nice to see bike-friendly parking as well and the outdoor picnic table, though Halifax streets are not very bike-friendly and fostering EV charging stations is increasingly an important and realistic aspect of being a responsible, green company.

5 Stars!

Thank you OEM!
