archie browns penzance

Good selection of vegan products. Separate room for supplements. Booja Booja ice cream, raw treats, vegan cheeses and mayo, pâtés, crisps, crackers, also personal care products. I intended to return and eat at the café but was caught in the ferry breakdown.

Just the best for getting really fresh tasty food. Their salad bowls are particularly impressive. Great cakes too. My non vegan/veggie friends really like it too!

*I'm updating this review to say I'm really pleased with the response I've had from the management of the shop and it doesn't sound like this is typical of the shop and definitely not endorsed by management.*Very unimpressed by the lack of ethics and the pseudoscience being pushed in here. When I'm specifically looking for a vegan product and the shop worker is trying to convince me that cow farming is ethical? Not a good impression. I also overheard them peddling the alkaline body theory which is dangerous and absolute nonsense. I took my money elsewhere.

Archie Browns is amazing and we go as many times as we can when we're on holiday in Cornwall. Good, healthy, tasty vegetarian food and always delicious! Great staff too. Good health food shop below. Thanks all involved!

Veggie and vegan heaven.... .we ate here Tuesday for the first time and were very pleasantly surprised. From the friendly vibe of the cafe, to the huge selection of food, to the wonderful staff it just could not have been a better experience. This was the best jacket potato and salad I have ever had...and trust me as a vegan for over 16 years I have had many. The quality and variety of the accompanying salads was outstanding. The salad was so good I bought another one for takeaway. It was very reasonably priced and the tub was crammed to bursting. The prices were reasonable too which is always an added bonus. My husband had the burger and halloumi which looked like a work of art....and tasted gorgeous to I am reliably informed. Although busy they all took the time to speak and be friendly. As tourists we asked for recommends of what to do and where to go in Penzance and Rebecca went over and beyond in giving help and advice.... I don't know if the establishment runs an Employee of the Week or Month but if they do then Rebecca has our vote :). We loved here so much that we are coming back today. When you have never been to a place before you end up judging a town/city on the people you meet and because of the staff here we loved Penzance and are coming back again and we are only in Cornwall for a shirt time. A huge THANK YOU.

Brilliant choice for vegans, super super tasty cake, smoothies and chai latte. Lovely helpful friendly staff, brilliant health food shop underneath! Has everything you could ever need!!

They do all the hard work of making sure that your food,both downstairs in the shop and upstairs in the cafe is safe and free from stuff none of us want. A great range of household goods,creams lotions and potions in the shop and a very friendly and helpful workforce in the cafe. You can trust Archies 100%. St Ives bakery bread too,perfect. Knowledgeable advice too if you're looking for help with alternative therapies. A haven of health on Bread Street.
