For a relatively small shop it is chock full of vegan goodies. Well worth a visit.....and bring your credit card... you'll want to buy heaps of stuff

Alternative Stores provide vegans with a superstore. You walk in knowing that everything is vegan-friendly and eco-friendly. Dan John & Zahra are a lovely father-daughter duo with a lifetime of lived experience as vegans; they know what they are talking about. No more awkward conversations with shop assistants, explaining what 'vegan' is. No more waiting with a product in your hand whilst you look up whether or not it is vegan. You can trust that anything in stock does not come from livestock! You can get anything from cleaning products to consumables. They also stock vegan footwear - including hiking boots, work shoes and trainers. There is an excellent selection of groceries. If you don't need any of the typical essentials, they have a substantial collection of treats. Their variety of chocolates is terrific. There is something for everyone here. You have a plethora of choice. There is also a discount section which we frequently find useful. It is always a pleasant place to peruse. If you are vegan and/or have special dietary requirements, Alternative Stores have everything you need when you want to 'pop to the shop'. Pros: 100% Vegan, Great Choice, Friendly Staff

Great store lots of choice many varieties of vegan cheese, ice cream, pizza... Brilliant tasting days so you can try before you buy too

Great range of vegan food, personal care products and shoes. Very helpful and friendly staff.

This vegan store is just amazing! Such a massive range of plant-based foods, many of which you can't seem to find anywhere else. The owners Dan & Zahra are so helpful and i'm very thankful to have this shop so close by!

Great VEGAN store at Royal Quays Outlet and Independent Centre - definitely worth a visit ....

Wish I could give these guys zero! I ordered the sos mix online and was expecting to get the brand they pictured on their website, instead I receive their own brand. Spoke to a very unhelpful lady on the phone about it, who stated 'Siomix is sosmix', but if you are not selling the brand pictured, you should not display this on your website. This is false advertising! The unhelpful lady also stated, 'we haven't had this problem before', trying to highlight that I'm a particularly difficult person. I think it's quite reasonable that I expect to receive what was pictured on the website and not their own brand product. Amended: In response to the reply received, I increased the star from one to three as I have an explanation. I will not increase any higher than three stars because the assistant did not try to explain as they mention in their response, she ended the call with, "I'll pass this feedback to the owners". I think it poor taste to imply I ended the call prematurely, or that I was at fault at all. Just admit your assistant did not deal with the call well and she knows how to better deal with this sort of query in future. That's fine, no one's perfect. A response of "sosmix is sosmix' is not really a sufficient explanation.

Amazing range of vegan goods. Family run business. Also soaps, cleaning products, pet foods/treats etc. So nice not having to read the labels on everything!

First rate service from this lovely store. I'm not local so order online. I ordered a range of food at the weekend and received my order today, carefully and securely packed. I've ordered a range of things over the last couple of years and have never been disappointed.

Fantastic selection, nice friendly staff and the Mag-pies are really really good. My favourite is the chicken Balti. The pastry is lovely and they are packed full with tasty filling. Will certainly be buying again.

Best place around for newbie vegans been forever vegans curious vegans and those who just want to eat less meat..loads of good stuff..

Absolutely terrible website which is not fit for purpose. It is incredibly slow, keeps locking up so I have to input details over and over again when trying to buy something. Searching for products is a joke, it took 4 minutes to find a product I know they sell!! I have bought stuff from this company before but never again.

Amazing selection with unique products you wouldn't find elsewhere. It definitely can be more expensive than other places however it's a family run business with a lot of unique products.

Recently bought a pair of vegan women's shoes - my first time buying from AS. Helpful assistance given when chasing up a slight confusion with the Royal Mail delivery. Lovely shoes, perfect fit, great quality !

Very friendly and helpful when I ordered online, thanks! Will be back, as dehydrated soya pieces are so hard to find
